el S & T PAGE TWO “THE FOX” SHOWING LAST TIME TONIGHT AT GRAND " Harry Carey has won his spurs. Th}:i{ci of theySnddle has been made a Universal-Jewel star, and in “The Yox,” his initial super-feature, he proved last night that 'he is worthy of the honor. To the public, the trade name “Universal-Jewel” means that the pic- ture is sent to the screen with-the best traditions of Universal City behind ite y “Confliet,” “Outside - the Law,” “Reputation” and “No Woman Knows,” all bore the Umversnl-:lewel irade mark, and “The Fox” will be classed with these subjeets. "' «Phe Fox” as it was “written by Harry Carey and adapted to tl}e screen by Lucien Hubbard, séenario editor at Universal City, concerns a woe-begone tramp who is thrown from a freight train to play a most important part in the destiny of a small desert town. He uncovers the crooked doings of a grasping banker, leads regular United States cavalry into action to berak up a gang of desperadoes and wins a wife after the fastest whirl of action which he has ever experienced in. his long career as an exponent of the range- riding hero. i i Charlie Chaplin in “Easy Street completes the program. THOMAS MEIGHAN IN “CAPPY RICKS” AT GRAND SUNDAY One of the strongest and most de- sightful picture; in which Thomas Meighan, the well known Paramount war, has been secen this season 18 “Cappy Ricks,” which is the program at the Grand theater for Sunday. Mr. Meighna is show# as a seaman in the story which is colorful, dramatic and at times quite thrilling. It is a picturization of Peter B. Kyne'’s stor- ies of the same title. Matt Peasley, a sailor’s mate, falls in. love with Florrie, daughtc; o Cappy Ricks, owner of a fleet of ves- sels, and the latter objeets to the nateh, The story takes one to’the South Seas and ecvery scene follolw- ing the murder of Matt’s captain, his thrashing of a burly Swede and his triumphant return home to Flor- rie, is filled with genuine drama. The action is rapid and the love appeal most charming. Agnes Ayres has the Jeading feminine role while Charjyes .Abbe gives an artistic. por- trayal of Cappy. ot 1 “PARDNERS” AT THE REX THEATER; SHOWS SUNDAY In the early stages of the picture “Pardners” showing Sunday at’thé Rex theater,: Miss Charlott Walker, the celebrated stage star, plays the part of a school teacher in a small western town where an important piec¢ -of railroad engineering is going forward under the direction of Ju: 'tus Morrow, whom she later marrie: “Pardners” is an adaptation of Rex part of the country and later switch- ‘ing to the Klondike. As the teacher Miss Walker gives a very strong interpretation of the role to believe that her husband has for, saken her she takes to singing and finally become a noted concert singer. In the meantime in the gold country her husband is struggling against the greatest odds and is finally taken seri- ously ill. After his recovery he makes his strike and retyrns home in search of his wife and youngster. He can- of his “pardner” they attend i@ con- cert one evening and there in *head- line honors his wife. He attempts to etfect n reconcilintion but she will not. listen. He then learns that the one, responsible for his troubles is a chap whom he considered one of h hest friends. will complete the big show. “HE BAND BOX REVUE AT REX THEATER TODAY The Band Box Revue scored an- other hit in its presentation of “No- body Home” last night and estab- ! lished themselves thoroughly with the - patrons of this ever popular the-| ater. Bddie Russell scored his usual hit in the role of “Casey.” Mr. Beasle appeared in tht role of the foil Edna It Jackson and Margie Lois were both dainty and worked hard to put over |V ‘their respective roles with a marked | degree of success.

In “Footlights,” a Paramount picture starring ‘Elsie Ferguson, at the Elko theater tonight, also Sunday matinee and evening, this development is shown step by step. Lizzie Parsons, thg American gir], as played by Elsie Ferguson, took two years of complete isolation and hard study to accomplish this feat. Her entire life had to be changed. She had to surround herself with Russian ‘servants and teachers. In- stead of simple American food, she had to acquire a taste for herrings. For coffee, she learned to drink tea mixed with lemon and whiskey, with- out sugar, and she had to replace her after-dinner apple with cigarettes. Brett Page, a wealthy New Yorker, falls in love with. her. There is some- thing about his upright, big American manner that makes her hate the lie she is living. She thinks that Randolph is in love with the temperamental actress rather than; her true self. Then follow developments of an in- teresting nature. “PROXIES” AT THE ELKO MONDAY AND TUESDAY One of the finest of the so-called ('rpuk plays ever shown in this city, will be displayed at the Elko theater next Monday and Tuesday. It is “Proxies,” - a superb Cosmopolitan production for Paramount, and the 1onding roles are played by such art-’ ists as Norman Kerry, Zena Keefe, Raye Dean, Paul Everton and William H. Tooker. The story tells of the of- forts of a former crook to live straight, and of the- difficulties he meets with in the operation. But he manages to win out in the end after many thrill_ing happenings, however. The love eiement is highly captivat- ing. — f— =S ee————— NUMBER SEVEN, BELTRAMI COUN- TY, BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA.

Flowers made of petals cut from paper: tape and coated with colored sealing wax, are among the novelties that add to the cheerfulness of home and Christmas this year. A cluster of them in several different colors, in a vase that is also coated with the wax, makes a very pleasing bouquet for the living room or dining table. The colored wax is a substitute for paint and a small alcohol flame be- comes the brush for making the fade- less blossoms. Most people regard the post as & modern institution ; yet this is not so, for regular postal services have ex- isted for more than two thousand years.
