} NEws “THBFOOLISH MATRONS” AT V¢ ’§HAND LAST TIMES TONIGHT “He who calls the tune must pay the Piper:” So the old proverb runs. Mhat it:is one of truest maxims in litg js set forth in vivid colors in Maurice Tourneur’s production of “The ‘Foolish Matrons,” which ap- pears, last times, at the Grand the- «ater tonight. Here is the answer to what every woman “wants to” know, and ‘what every man thinks he knows---what makes a successful wite? It ds a story that will get the most blase. It {s different. It has three hero- inéd-and it is hard to say which i3 the, most interesting. It is a story of marriage presented in that bril- . (Mant," trenchant fashiom that Wis- tinguishes Tourneur’s, productions from the average run of screen play. Two of the women fail to make a suceess of marffage---it is the third woman, that comes, not empty. hand- ed, but bearing spiritual gifts, who reallzes to the full what marriage mgy mean. In presenting the story as a screen play.*Maurice Tourneur has given it the same lavish mounting that has marked his productions in the past, and the various roles are interpreted by-one of the most distinguished casts that Tourneur has given us during his brilMant career as a producer. The leading players are Hobart Bosworth, Dorls May, Mildred Man- ning, Kathleen Kirkham, Betty Schade,» Margaret McWade, Charles Meredith, Wallace MacDonald, Mi- chael Dark and Frankie Lee. “DOUBLE ADVENTURE ” ENDING i'AT GRAND THEATER TUESDAY The, ending chapters, Nos. 13, 14, and 15 of the serial story ‘‘Double \Adventure, With a two-part Century comedy will be shown in the Grand theater tomorrow, matinee and eve- ning. : “Double Adventure,” written by & former Bemidji boy, Jack Cunning- ham, offers just one sensational situ- ation after another. It is a clear, logical story whose full-blooded ac- tion will appeal to the adventurous yearnings of the old and the young. The 'story holds through the sheer velocity of its dynamic action! It grips because it is a virile story of the great outdoors. The three chap- ters of the ending showing at the Grand theater Tuesday, will be es- pecially ententaining for every one viewing them, as in these the mys- terles are’ unfolded and the hero is rewarded, “SALVATION NELL” GIRLHOOD STORY AT REX TUESDAY An absorbing and dramatic story of life'in the tenements of New York East Side is presented in the pictur- dzation of “Salvation Nell,” the Ed- ward Sheldon play in which Minnie Maddérn Fiske starred on the speak- ing stage, and which will be the screen attraction at the Rex theater on Tuesday. 1t's a story of the ups and downs of.a poor little girl in a great city. Nelt’ Sanders loses her sweatshop job, ‘is discharged from the eating establishment of Hash House Sal, but her pluck asserts itself after she is ~ dismissed as the scrubwoman of a saloon, “and she joins the Salvation Army and triumphs, saving her be-| loved Jim from himself. ‘Paulint Stark has the leading role as’ Salvation Nell, with Joe King playing opposite her. “Salvation Nell,” which as an Asso- ciated '\First National release, was produced by Whitman Bennett, with| Kenneth Webb as the director. The scenario was prepared by Dorothy Farhum. Tha cast includes Evelyn C. Car- rington as ‘“Hallelujah Maggie,” E. T. Langford , Charles MacDonald, Matthew Betz, Marie Haynes, A. Earl, William Nalley and Lawrence | Johnson.: “THE SKY PILOT” AT REX LAST TIME TODAY One of the most gripping scenes| ever enacted before the motion ples ture “camera is the thrilling cattle] stampede which furnished a smashs| ing climax to *The Sky Pilot," shown at the Rex theater yesterday. ‘“The Sky Pilot,” adapted gom Ralph Connor's story, was directed by King Vidor, the young director| genius whose ““Jack Knife Man” was | heralded as one of the best pictures| of the past year. It is released by | Associated First National Exhibitors, | Inc., as a Catherine Curtis produc-| tion, { The cattle stampede takes place at @ most critical time. The heroine is racing across the plains to warn the| men attending a roundup, of a plot| to steal the cattle by means of an underground passage, when the ter- ror-stricken cattle break lose aund | make a mad dash toward the ap- ‘proaching girl. ‘Her horses throws | her and the entire herd is stamped-| ing toward her when the “sky pilot”| takes a chance in a thousand to save| the girl. The scenes showing the “‘sky pilot™ doggedly standing over the helpless girl'in his determination to make the| cattle veer to the sides is indeed one of the most courageous bits of dra-| matic action put on the screen. ©Of added dnterest is the fact that| ‘the ' characters’ appearingt ini *‘The | Sky Pilot” actually comprise an ll-| etar ‘cast. John Bowers, who takes the part of Pilot, has carried leading roles in a number of the higgest suc-| cesses. of the day. Colleen Moore, | pliying the leading feminine role, will'be remembered as the little Irish | «cdlleen fn *Dinty,” and David Butler! has“been starred for' more than a year in various productions. | Harry Todd, who plays the part of | , the Old Timer, a quaint old char-| acter, contributed greatly to the suc-| cess of '“The Jack Knife Man" by hisi excellent acting.

SHIRLEY MASON AT REX IN “THE LAMPLIGHTER"---THURSDAY Manager Brinkman of the Rex| theater has secured for a limited en- gagement, beginning next Thursday, a most interesting story called “’l’he‘ Lamplighter.” It was produced by | William Fox and has for its star win- wome ljttle Shirley Magon, . whose | great successes in “Wing Toy,"” “‘Her | Elephant Man’”’.and “‘Love’s Harvest’ | are matters of screen history. | The story-‘of ‘The Lamplighter,” | in which sheer beauty of narrative and sustained tension mark it as an exceedingly fine piece of screen writ- ing, Is from the pen of Maria Susanna Cummins. This talented author has supplied Miss Mason, with a vehicle| that promises delight for. her large army of admirers. -~ 7., The story of “The Lamplighter”| i{s unusual not omly in plot but in development. Miss Mason is cast for the part of a little girl who, through some of the strangest machinations of fate, is lost to her parents until she has grown to young womanhood, being restored to them finally, as she is restored also to the sweetheart of her childhood. All ends happily,| of course, but only after many heart-| ‘breaking episodes, Origin of Easter.Egg Custom. ‘The favor accorded to eggs among | Eastertide observance Is said to have originated from the anclent worship of Ostara, goddess of the East, whose feast was celebrated with much eat- ing and drinking, many special offer- ings being made, including the egg of sea fowl. From northern Germany the worship extended Into Great Brit- ain, The Anglo-Saxon name for “April, the season of the festival, was Easter month, and.in Germany this month is ‘8till' knébwn as Ostermonath. Many other of the popular Easter observ- ances. especinlly in the Netherlands and Germany, indicate traces of sim- flar origin. 'The egg is symbolical of the resurrection. Knowledge Is Not All. The man of great ideas has peculiar qualities of leadership. His influence is often almost illimitable. He has & large following. He knows. He knows that he knows, Others know that he knows. Knowledge Is often moral dynamite. It is the keynote of progress. It IS one of the world's greatest thrones. There Is a premium on brainy gray-matter. But when the possibilities of knowledge are enum- erated, its limitations must also be conceded. = The world never had so much knowledge as it has today. It was never so well educated. But knowledge may be a curse, for mere Intellectual leadership can be devoid of moral Ideals.—Exchange. Strange Requests.

It 1s always wise to select seed cojn early in Minnesota—early enough Yo escape killing frosts. That is.why:the agricultural extension division at Uni- versity Farm, St. Paul, has year after year fixed on September 10-20 as Seed Corn Time—a period for the special harvesting of seed corn for the follow- ing year’s planting. Kiling frosts do not come in Minnesota usually until after Sepfember 20. This year, because of the early sea- son and the advanced stage of the corn crop, farmers have an extra chance to beat the attacks of the frost king. The corn crop has matured earlier than usual because it got an early start, and to get corn that will mature in about the same pumber of days next year selection. should be made somewhat earlier than usual Corn may have to be rlanted later next year than it was planted this, and it it i8 not early-maturing it may not come through in time to escape next year's frosts.

' New. York, August 29.---James Curtis of 8565 Morris avenue can boast of being a combination which is probably unique in this whole country. He is a preacher by night and a sandwich man by day. The two vocations serve to make him quite a man of the would witha gobd working knowledge of humanity at large. By daylight he walks the streets, carrying advertising. signs for various articles; but’ when the street lights come on, he takes his stand on a ‘prominent street corner and’ adverises the gospel. He gets a godd deal of heckling from his street crowds, but he always departs with a smile on his face and his hat half dlled with silver. Mr. Curtis is 73 vears old and-claims, that he has travelled all over his country, carry- ing signs by day and preaching by night.
