Each time one sees Pauline Fred- rick on the screen, he is convinced that she is at her best in that par- ular vehicle in which he sees her. ‘This is true of “The Mistress of " Shenstone,” ‘the new Robertson-Cole uper-special in which the emotional Certainly Miss Frederick has never appeared to greater advantage. The picture is an adaptation of a novel of the same name by Florence L. Bar- clay and might have been written especially for Miss Frederick so well does she fit the leadig role. “The Mistress of Shenstone” is a Jove drama of the intense type. Miss Frederick as Lady Myra Ingleby falls in love with the man who is respon- sible for the accidental death of her husband. She dogs not know the man’s identity until she has given him her heart. It is a strong situation and Miss Frederick brings all of her ar- tistry into play to make it realistic. There is an excellent cast in sup- port of the star including Roy Stew- art, Emmett C. King, Arthur Clay- ton, John Willink, Helen Wright, Rose Gore, Helen Muir and Lydia Yeamans Titus. “SMILING ALL THE WAY” AT ELKO THEATER SATURDAY Moving Picture World comment on the picture that will appear at the Elko theater Saturday and Sunday says: £ “Those who look to the state right field for only spectacular or lurid dramas will be surprised in David Butler’s “Smiling All the Way.” It is a thoroughly interesting and clever little comedy-drama which will keep an audience sitting quiet and absorb- ed and send them away satisfied. It does not attempt to thrill, but it tells a simple love story in a clean, enter- taining way. One of its most com- mendable features is the avoidance of ‘old stuff.’ “Thelocale of the story is espe- cially good from an audience stand- point. All is developed with good in- cident. ¥ “It is a typical Butler picture, and if he keeps going at his present pace, a “Butler” picture may soon be as well known as a ‘Charles Ray’ pic- ture. He makes his part unusually attractive.” “BURN 'EM UP BARNES” AT REX THEATER SUNDAY What is characterized as being one of the most talented casts ever as- sembled for a motion picture pro- duction will be seen in Johnny (Tor chy) Hines’ initial feature' length starring vehicle, “Burn 'Em Up Barnes,” a’' whirlwind automobile racing story by Raymond L. Schrock, which comes to the Rex theater next Sunday for a two-day stay. In support of Mr. Hines are such artists as Edmund Breese, George Fawcett, Betty Carpenter, J. Barne; Sherry, Julia Swayne Gordon, Mat- thew Betts, Dorothy Leeds and a cast of 800 directed by George A. Ber- anger. The story, which concerns the es- capades and experiences of the young son of a manufa¢turer of high pow- ered motor cars, who revels in road races and other sensational pastimes to the detriment of discipline and the depletion of the paternal cash re- serve, is replete with thrills, comedy and love interest—well blended into and appealing and swiftly moving screen story. “THE RIVER’S END” AT REX THEATER TONIGHT Marshall Neilan’s first independent effort as a producer, ‘““he River’s End,” shows at the Rex theater to- day. The story was written by James Oliver Curwood, distributed by First National Exhibitor’s Circuit and in- cludes such well-known stars as Lewis Stone, Marjorie Daw and Jane Novak in the cast. The action of the play revolves around an outlay, his impersonation of the officer who captured him and died, and his struggle to find peace and bappiness at “The River’s End.” An extraordinary love interest is woven into the play by the mutual attraction of the masquerader and the sister of the man whose name he has assumed. Lewis Ston is seen in the leading _:iolc of John.Keith, wanted for mur- er. MABEL JULIENNE SCOTT IN “Nb WOMAN KNOWS” Mabel Julienne Scott, one of the screen’s most popular young emotion- al stars, will be seen at the Grand theater Sunday and Monady in “No Woman Knows,” the widely Hiscussed Universal-Jewel film version of Edna Ferber's thagazine masterpiece, ‘“Fan- ny Herself.” 1) “No woman Knows,” was produced at Universal City and on the actual locale of the original story, under the direction of Tod Browning. Into it he put the same dramatic fire that distinguished “The Virgin of Stam- boul” and Outside the Law.” He has presented. however, delicate heart touches, the flashing strokes of humor and the deep pathos of Miss Ferber's ‘work. . ‘The entire cast is composed of players who haye demonstrated un- usual ability in Técent successful pro- ductions. Opposite Miss Scott is to Sg seen Earle Schenck. In her imme- ate support there also will appear ‘Grace Marvin. John Davidson. Stua olmes, A. E. Warren and Richard Cnmmings. In the opening sequence: 'of ‘the story that establish the cha acter of the piece are nlayed by Snitz dwards. Joseph ' Swickard, Danny Hoy, little Raymond Lee and the Jéver seveen kiddie, Bernice Radom, | FRANK MAYO; AS FIGHTING PARSON AT GRAND. TONIGHT “Go Straight” is the. title of the feature showing tonight and tomor- row at the Grand theater, Frank Mayo, the well known outdoor ath- letic star plays the part of the fight- ing parson who cleans up, literally and figuratively, a_dissolute town and wins the charming daughter of one of the crooked politicians. The scenario has been written’ with dra- matic progression and it is directed carefully by William Worthington. Two things strongly in the fea- ture’s favor are: that it contains a generous amount of natural and sim- ple suspense and the latter part is fraught with action that is not pasted on extraneously. Another thing that marks the picture is the obvious fact that Frank Mayo gives a far better performance in the present role of the belligerent clergyman than he has for some time. He does mnot walk through his part. In fact, he con- tributes no little amount to the build- ing up of suspjence and action. His support is excellent, especially in the cases of Harry Carter and George Marion as the two heavies, and Lil- lian Rich as the daughter. “A Week Off,” featuring Baby Peg- gy and Charles Dorety is the two-part .comedy. which completes the pro- gram. “FIGHTING GRIN” AT THE REX THEATER SATURDAY Thwarted at cvery possible turn by an angry, prospective father-in-law; plotted against by his own father to win a $1,000 wager; and with fate aghinst him at every turn, Franklyn Farnum in the “Fighting Grin,” is at his wits’ ends to overcome all dif- ficulties and marry the girl he loves. How he does this creates a ninety- mile and hour film, five-reel, western comedy ‘drama, with the final out- come, always in doubt until the last “fade out.” EMPLOYED ART OF FLATTERY How Disraeli Succeeded in Securing the Full Confidence of His Royal Mistress, Victoria. It was after the untimely death of | her husband at the age of 42 that Queen Victorla became the victim_of a settled melancholy. For 20 years after that event she continued to wear mourning, ook little or no interest In the sociul life of her subjects, and made a slave of herself in her cor- respondence and In her interviews with her ministers on public questions and the details of government, It was not untll Disraeli became premier that the queen emerged from the shadow of bereavement. He fas- cinated ber by his rhetoric and poetie style of nddress. Gladstone, she suid, used to speak to her as If she was a publle meeting, but Disraeli re- membered that she was a lonely woman with a hungry heart. He fed this hunger in letters that were almost affectionnte in tone. He called her Gloriana and * Titanla, queen of the falrles, and In a thousand similes ministered to her self-esteem. He waved the magle wand of flattery and Titania began to enjoy life once more, So the queen In her old age be- came popular with her subjects and revealed those mellow graces, those milder attributes, that made her be- loved and revered at home and abroad. —Detroit News.

PROTECT ROADS FROM RAINS Where Flood Spreads Out Over Val. ley, It 1s Big Problem to Secure Proper Drainage. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculturs.) During July and August, cloud- bursts, which are practically very ’heuvy thunderstorms, cause serlous problems in road construction in Ne- | vada and Utah. The bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture has worked out several effective methods of protecting roads | from these immense sudden flows of | water after long dry spells. Where the drainage channels are well de- fined no great difficulty is involved In the design of the rvad drainage struc- tures; but where the flood spreads out over a delta or a valley it is a prob- lem so to locate the line and drainage structures that the latter will save the road from destruction. In sections where the flood tends to spread out, & wide berm on each side of the roadway makes a substantial protectlon. The borrow pit provides Water-Soaked Roadway In Nevada. | material for the embankment and serves as a diversion drain. Some- times a shart concrete dip Is used for the purpose of passing the water over the road in a comparatively wide and | shallow flow instead of under it. A dip Is simply a pavement extending the full width of the roadway and | protected at each edge against under- mining by a cut-off wall extending 18 inches below the bottom of the puve ment. Instead of attempting to build up a grade for this pavement, 80 as to raise it above' the flood water, the dip' ollows the:grade of-the wash, and the ‘water passes over it in time of flood. Where the deltas are so wide and the country-so.undeveloped as to make the cost of a concrete dip exces- stve, the dips are surtaced with grav- el and the downstream edge Is protect- ed by a concrete cut-off wall. In con-| nection with these drainage dips a V- shaped system .of dikes and ditches Is ! used, converging toward the’road it It is desired to lead the flow from two | or more washes to o single dip, and | dlverging toward the road when It 18| better to split the flow of a single | stream to more than one dip. WOMEN FAVOR BETTER ROADS | Townsend Bill Endorsed. by General Federation of Women's Clubs at Salt Lake Meeting. Evidence of the widespread inter-| est in good highways was shown at ! the recent meeting of the - General | Federation of Women's Clubs at.Salt | Lake City. In. endorsing the Town- send bill for national highways, now | before congress, Mrs. John Dickinson | Sherman of Chicago, chairman of the | department of applied educatlon, said: | “It 1s not necessary for us to point | out the real interest of American | women in highway matters. 'I'he - In- fluence of real highways on' country ! life, on economics, on education, is now | generally understood. What Is needed | is n national highway policy which will | conserve government funds, through concentration of fedéral money on main highways, will give us a connected system at the earliest moraent and the least expense.” GOOD ROADS REDUCE PRICES | Poor Transportation Facilities Help Keep Up High Cost of Liv- ing. in Big Cities. QOne of the solutions of the high cost of} llvisg problem lies in good | roads. Poor transportation facilities form a strong factor in keeping prices up. With a system of well paved na- tlonal highways transportation condl tions would be improved to such an extent that the cost and time of bring- ing food and merchandise to the con* sumer would be matertally cut.

A lunch ‘was' served at 11:30 and the selling began promptly at 12 o’clock with B. E. Tweten as auctioneer and C. O. Dille as clerk. The sale was characterized with unusual snap. Ap- proximately $1,600 worth of articles were sold. 4 This was the third community sale held and seems to fill a read need, as evidenced by the .attendance and quantity of articles sold. A. W.

PHRASE IN USE BY ROMANS Writers of Ancicnt Empire First Re. ferred to the Game of “Ducks and Drakes.” “Ducks and drakes,” an expression used commonly in connection with a person who is heedless in money or business ma‘ters, has gained wide cive culatioh ce it was first used among the Romans. ’ Minucius Ilelix and other anclent s allude to a game of scaling vster shells or stones on the water. I the stone emerged once it was said to be a “duck.” England adopted the game and gave the pl e its present meaning. Just when it was first applied is not known. Dut it well used in Henry Peacham’s book, “The Worth Penny,” publisked in London in 1647: “L remember- in Queen Elizabeth’s time a wealthy citizen of London left his son a mighty estate in money, who, | imagining he should never he able to would' ‘usnatly make ducks s in the Thames river, with shilling pieces as.’boys arc wont to do with titles and oyster shells, And in the end he grew to such extreme want that he was fain fo beg or bor- row a sixpence, having muny times no more es than feet and some- times having more, feet than shoes.” spend it “Sporting One's Oak.” “To sport one's oak” is a phrase signifying that one is not at home with visitors. The saying originated at the English universities, where the stu- dents’ chambers have two. doors—an inner and an outer onc. The outer Is closed or “sported’ it denotes either that the occupant of the apartment 1s out or that he does not wish to be dis turbed. i Rope From Milkweed Fiber.
