PATHE NEWS TONIGHT I AT GRAND THEATER | Pathe Weekly News, showing cur- rent events of the world, and a Snub Pollard comedy are showing tonight at the Grand. ay tuations, | omes' to irel for a twe-day | EUGENE O’BRIEN AT THE ELKO LAST TIME TONIGHT‘I In Eugene O'Brien’s mewest Selz- | nick Picture, he is onee agzin the so- ciely gentleman and throughbred. H"! bas never played to bettex advantage | than in “Worlds Apart,”’ -his latest elznick Picture, which is ‘\owmgi Tor the last time tonight at tthe Blko | theater. As Hugh Ledyard, a young - fellow| with faith in the goodness of ».man-, kind, he is very appealing. His faith] shattered by the girl he loves vthen| she marries a man with more mowey, | he harbors a grudge against the world and determines to do_some- | thing to hurt. He rescues a girl who has jumped into a river with the in- tent of killing herself, and these two, with the distrust of mankind upper-| most in_their minds, marry. They gree to live together and present a brave front to those who have wrong- | od: them. However, Hugh is in darl ness ‘as to his wife's past. Astound- ing facts are unearthed when a se vant in their house is accused of hav- ing killed a guest, a rough, uncouth upstart. ] The mystery is cleared in a uniqus manner, and the principals settle down to a life of happineds, having recognized their love for each other. Director Alan Crosland has made the most of the John Lynch story and has brought out the theme in a very attractive and interesting man- ner. Mr. O’Brien is assisted by some of the screen’s celebrities, among ! whom are Olive Tell, W. H. Tooker, Florence Billings, Arthur Housman, Louise Pr ng and Warren Cook. “High e,” a thrilling comedy of stunts will complete the program. WALLACE REID'S PICTURE IS A JACK LAIT STORY Wallace Reid's new Paramount | picture; “The Love Burglar,” whicii | comes to the Elko theater for one | day, Wednesday, is an adaptation of the recent: play by the celebrated author and playwright, Jack Lait, en- titled, “One of Us.” The play had its | premiere at the Moroscs theater in | Los Angeles and after a suc ul | run in which Bertha Mann played the starring role, it ‘was 'taken cast. After a careful study of the val- ues of the different roles, the pr ducers decided that the hero role was by far a stronger one than the | leading feminine role, and in the pic- ture version, the leading male part is the stellar role. Wallace Reid is | id to have a highly effective role in this production, and one of the best | of his sereen care | | “WAY DOWN EAST” OPENS BIG RUN AT THE REX Unusual interest attaches to the opening of the coming engagement in . this city of D. W. Griffith’s great! spectacle, “Way Down E: which will be seen for the first time here | today at the Rex theater. “Way Down East” wil{ be presented here for a period of five days. If such be possible, this latest mas- terful production by the genius of the screen bids fair to cclipse even the enormous vogue enjoyved by “The Birth of a Nation.” Now being offered in the leading citi of the land, “Way Down East” is attracting capac- ity throngs and seats are sought weeks in advance. This picturization of the famous stage suc furnished by Lottic Blair Parker and Joseph Grismer goes “ much further than the original tale. Mr. Griffith has begun where they " halted. He hag not made it a provin- cial thing; attempted to explain noth- ing he has welded a theory of eternal love and in so doing has removed his people from time and period. Pos- . sessed of a vision and mentality too great to be handicaped by anything, he has brought forth an epic far more than clever—it has the ring of genius. The simple fun of plain people is brought forth in greater measure than .the stage play version could ever hope ing of this work and it ends in a thrill- | side of the Rocky mountains. i it in 1858 by Chaplain Johin McCarty, | stationed at Fort Vancouver. | not l Uiy v Ay LIS tp attain and offers keen contrast to ithe suffering and woe of Anna Moore, L.er hopes and her struggles. Probably the greatest cast of capable players aver assembled for a motion picture production was engaged in the mak- | iz climax of spectacular scenes amid the: veering flaws of a New kngland blizzard and the explosive breaking of a river ice gorge, all of which en-| thrall as only a Griffith effort can move audiences. The tender moments, the tragic episodes, the laughable situations and the stirring scenes are | accentuated by. unusual orchesteal accompaniment, pronounced the most ambitious yet attempted in the the- ate ' o passes will be honored at this show. WOULD PRESERVE OLD H"QU‘SE | Plans Made for Restoring Str-ucture, Said to Be the Oldest jin o the Northwest. Plans are being faid by the Vancou- ver Historical society to preserve the old Covington house at Orchaxds, six mliles from this little town. The house is said to be the oldest in thc north- western part of the United Stiites. It is of logs and is in a ruinous condi- tion, being used as a sheepfolid. The historical society expects to rostore it. "Tthe cabin was built early in the last century by Richard Covington, an em- ployee of the Hudson’s Bay cdmpany, when Fort Vancouver was the capital of the fur company on the western It was the first schoolhouse in the: North- west. Covington taught the children of fur company employees and settlers there. Mrs. Elizabeth Bird, eighty- five years of age, still living in Clarke county, Washingten, was married in This was a short time after U. S. Grant, after his return from the Mexican war, visited the fort. When Fort Vancouver was owned by | the Hudson's Bay company, the com- pany was ruler of three-fourths of the North American continent. TIts do- minion extended from Labrador to the Paclfic and from the Arctic ocean to | the Spanish settlements in California. It moved its western headquarters to | Fort Victoria on Vancouver island duoring the dispute between England and.the United States over the Oregon bourndary line. 1t surrendered its sov- ereignty to Canada in 1870, EASY TO START “HARD TIMES” | Fumor Becomes an Endless Chaim . Once the Proper Impetus Has Bean Given to It. In Paris a portrait painter sat.in his faworite eafv sipping his wine. Flis first small bottle finished. he was about to order mwre when his eye fell on a headline in- the Figaro, “Elard Times Are Coming,” so instead of' or- dering his usual second bottle he ecalled for his check. | “Is there anything wrong with the wine?" asked the landlord. The wine is good. but I did nok or- | der a second bottle because hard tHimes are coming and we must econ- omize,” explained the artist. “Hard times.” said the landlord. | “Then my w must not order the, sllk dress we planoed, but must take | one of cotton.” “Hard times.” repeated the dress-| maker when the order was canceled. “This is no time to expand. T must| make the improvements [ had planned in the place.” i “Hard times, ¢h?' said the builder | when the dressmuker canceled the | building plans. “Then I caunot have | my wife's portrait painted.” | So he wrate to the artist and can- celed his order. g After receiving the letter the artist went again to his favorite cafe and or- | dered a1 small hottle of wine to soothe him.

The mayor of a Southern town had Bieen asked to assist in the anoual en- tertainment given ar Christmas to the inmates of rhe local workhouse. He consented with great complaisance and went and wmade up as Father Christmas. For a time his antics and pranks were the delight of the com- | pany. | A damper on his enjoyment was, | however, eventually brought forward | by a serap of conversation he chanced to overhear. “Isn't he enjoying himself?” re. marked one old man to andther. “What a treat it is for the likes of him! But why can’t they let all the loonies out on & night like this?” | “Well” replled the other, “mebbe | [4 ! which e. erican @I,Q gioh LCopy for This Department Supplied by the American Leglon News Service.) SERVED IN WORLD WAR AT 70 Lieutenant Colonel Wood Began Fighting for His Country at Age of Fifteen. One of the most remarkable war mecovds ever brought to light is that of Lieut. Col Marshall W, Wood, U. 8. A. (retired) of Boise, 1daho, who began fighting for his country in the Civil war at the age of fif- teen years and, after surviving cumpaigns in the G Indian and Span- ; g&\m{ ish - American wars, entered the World war when seventy years old, serving nearly three years. Taday, although sevent old, Colonel Wood is ins; of the and Army of the Republic, and is chaplain of the John Regan five ye: post of the American Legion, Boise, Idaho, which he org: as its first commander, Colonel Wood was borp June 4, 18 ifteen rs later he was ¢ tmusket in the Civil war, He s twice wounded during this serv- Later, he served in the Indian wars us senior wedical officer in two expeditions Sioux. In the Spanish-American war he was chiet surgeon of the First di- wvision of the Fifth army corps from Its organization until its abadonment after the Santiago campaign. In‘the World war Colonel Wood was on active duty from .June 23, 1916, un- Ul February 28, 1919. He was under fire in all except the World war and received three medals for distin- guished service. zed and served PLAN FOR CANADIAN LEGION War Organizations Approve Proposi- “tion to Amalgamate All Veterans Similar to American Body. The amalgnmation of all war vet- erans of Canada into a Canadian Legion to be founded on principles similar to those of the American Legion has been approved by officialg of the various war organizations, More than 10,000 leaders in the vet- erans’ associations have pledged their support of the merger. It has been shown that one organi- zation can operate more effectively and at less expense than a half a dozen organizations with a common interest and purpose. The merger will make possible a closer co-opera- tion between the veterans and the anadian government., which has al- ready spent $84,000,000 in the estab- lishment of returned soldiers on land. A recent report shows that 27,000 individual ex-service men have been benefited by the laws, the objects of were soldier re-establishment and the development of the agricul- tural resources of the dominion. Un- der the law, any ex-service man eligi- ble from a military standpoint, having seen service overseas, may apply for loans up to the maximum of $7,500 for the following purposes: For the purchase of land, $4,500; for stock and equipment, $2.000; for permanent improvements, $1,000. If on incum- bered land, the ex-soldier is entitled to loans amounting to $5,000; if on free land, to loans amounting to $3,000. In the case of purchased land the settler must puy 10 per cent of the cost price of the Iand as a guarantee of good faith.
