8 I ' ‘thoroughly. artistic. Vola Vale proves THE BEMIDST DAILY FIONEER ™ * 75178 “THE ROUGH DIAMOND” AT REX OPENING SUNDAY Tom Mix, the William Fox star, never believed he would ever have to break the record for cost of cloth- ing and outfit which he set in his western photoplays with his famous cowboy. costumes. It has hap- pened at last during the making of his newest ; Fox production, “The Rough Diamond,” which will be shown at the Rex, beginning Sunday. As a western _star, Mix was reported Lo have paid out sums for his famous Stetson hats, handmade decorated boots, pearl-handled revolvers, beaded vests, ctc., that rivaled the cost of a prima_donn: regalia. In his latest production, playing a new role in a story different fl'om‘ any he had ever been seen in, Mix,| as a reckless adventurer, becomes a| generalissimo jin the —army of | southern republic, It is the rich and gaudy costume he wears in this part with its yards of gold braid, exper g cavalier boots, silken cords and s , es, gold-plated sword, rare feathers ! and other accoutrement that equalled and passed the t of any outfit he had ever worn since becoming a mo-| tion picture star. | There is a circus in full blast, to| say nothing of one of the real old- time street parades, with elephants, clowns, wild animals, and even a cal; liape at the end of it, in the new Wil- liam Fox picture, “The Rough Dia- mond,” starring Tom Mix, which comes to the Rex theater on Sun- day. a part differing radically from any in which he ever has been seen be- fore. | | & 7 & “HER MAD BARGAIN" AT | THE REX THEATER TUESDAY “Her Mad Bargain,” announced as the coming attraction at the Rex theater next week, is Anita Stewart’s new First National attraction. The star’s recognized ability as &n actress of what is termed the sympathetic type is given full play and her fashionable wardrobe more| than proves her right to the title | of “The Smartest Dressed Girl on the Screen.” | Miss Stewart's career in “‘Her Mad Bargain” ranges in social strata from | the inner circle of iety to the| humble position of ar model. | The role is admirably suited ot her natural beauty and grace and in it she is given opportunity for dramatic scenes that fairly hold one spell- bound. The story was prepared for the screen by Josephine Qui Supporting Miss Stewart is an all-| star cast includingg Walter McGrail, Arthur Edmund Carew, Gertrude Astor, Adcle Farrington Ernest But- terworth, Margaret McWade and William Badger. “OPEN YOUR EYES” AT REX THEATER THURSDAY “Open Your Eyes,” the flaming photoplay prepared under the super-| vision of the United States Public Health Service as part of a campaign for a clean nation and a country made safe tfor posterity, comes to the| Rex theater on Thursday and Friday.| This picture has attrected wide atten- tion, and created a veritable sensa- tion among educators and public offi-| cials in every city where it has been, shown.

RICHARD DIX COMING AGAIN MONDAY—GRAND Do men want to be “Vamped?” Meny girls think so. The impetuous little girl in the new Goldwyn pu ture, “All’s Fair In Love,” thought so, and as a consequence spent many sleepless nights and despairing days worrying about a husband who adored her and who, she insisted, had been torn from her side by the wiles of a vampire. . This sprightly comedy from the pen of Thompson Buchanan, which first appeared on the stage under the title of “The Bridal Path,” will be shown at the Grand theater, for two days beginning Monday. It serves to in- troduce dainty May Collins as a Gold- wyn leading lady. Playing the role of the innocent young husband is Richard Dix, who has appeared in sev- cral former Goldwyn productions. Other prominent players in the cast are Marcia Manon, Raymond Hatton, Stuart Holmes and Andrew Robson. The picture was directed by E. Mason Hopper. “THE BRIDE'S PLAY” AT ELKO LAST TIME TONIGHT No more exquisite production has been seen here in recent months than “The Bride’s Play,” Marion Davies' new, . Paramount-Cosmopolitan crea- tion which was shown at the Elko the- in that theater tonight. Miss Davies plays a dual role in “The Bride’s Play,” In the medieval h scenes she is Enid, a golden- aired girl who is destined to marry against her will, Sir John Mansfield. In the modern es she plays Ailee Barrett, a dark-haired, charming, vi- vacious girl, who finds true love in Sir Fergus Cassidy, after she has been deluded by Bulmer Meade, a rascally poet. Associated with Miss Davies in this charming picture are Wyndham Standing, who is the hero, and Carlton Miller, who plays the villain. Others who take importsant parts‘are Richard Cummings, Jack O'Brien, Frank Shannon, Eleanor Middleton, Thea Talbot and Julia Hurley. | “LADIES MUST LIVE” AT ELKO BEGINNING SUNDAY or poor, or ambitious or otherwi: is adequately shown by the late Geo. Loane Tucker in his een master: piece, “Ladies Must Live” which will be shown at the Elko theater tomor row, also Monaay and Tuesday. In this delightful and appealing story, star and the featured player in the picture named, has the role of a voung girl who has been reared by her rich brother-in-law and whose penniless father plans to marry her off to,som man in order th: income, derived from his son-i may be increased. But there is an- other women who has similar plans to obtain an casy living and the two clash with interesting results. Then there is a waif whose love proves a tragedy, and other characters all of whom are component parts of a most consistent story of modern life. The women in the cast include besides Miss Compson,. Leatrice Joy, [ Hutton, Lule Warrenton and Ma Manon, all players of ability and rep- utation “Ladies Must Live” is a picturiz: tion of a story by Alice Duer Mil which was published in the Saturday Fvening Post. It is a dramatic and appealing picture —_— Wy Obeyed Orders. [ told' the chef to preparc the fowl story of two girls, both young, bean-| tiful and innocent, just budding into | young womanhood. One finds her| mother all that a mother should be.| Her questions are frankly and sensi- | bly enswered, and consequently she | is able to avoid the pitfalls that lie| in the pathway of youth. The other,| less fortunale finds her mother too| busy with social duties to listen to her daughter’s questions, and when | the lonely girl turns to companions | of her own age for knowledge, she gets it at first hand from a handsome “younder” young in years but old in| wisdom of the ways of the world.| The contract between the careers| of the two girls, one protected and shielded from the dangers that lie} about her by a wonderful mother;| and the other “going it blind,” as| s0 many young men and women do in| life, makes a powerful and domanti pecially when the *“rounder.”; ging shame and suffering | upon oje, becomes engaged to the | other. How frankness saves the in-| noeent girl from a terrible fate onj her wedding eve makes one of the| strongest and most thrilling scene: ever staged.

Man Shot Drake and Very Much Alive When the An- esthetic Had Worn Off. One of New Jersey's most con- zervative towns is consumed with mirth, nnd the objects of said mirth are a young, kind-hearted bride and bridegroom. The bridegroow, It ap- pears, teok a chance on -a tuikey that was being raftled off in his New York office and n few days later was notified that he had won the pompous bird. Highly delighted, he gave his address and ordered the prize sent out to his New Jersey home. In the course of time the bird ar- rived at its destination, and arrived, much to the surprise of the bride and bridegroom, In a wire crate very much allve, remarks the New York Sun. As their experience in executing birds wus nil and the bride “couldn’t bear to lave its pretty head chopped oft,” they decided to chlorvoform it. Con- sequently, the next night, when the bridegroomn got home from the office, the anesthetic was administered on a lovely lace handkerchief and then the bird was plucked and put into the ice box. About 9 o'clock that night the peace and quiet around the library lamp were disturbed by strange noises in the Kkitchen. Hand in hard the newlyweds bravely deacended upon the chen expecting to find the ever-looked-for burglar, But no burglar was to be seen. Lo- cating the noise in the direction of the ice box the brave young bridegroom swung open the doors and out stepped a very naked turkey. After a few rounds of the Kkitchen with consider- able tlapping of wings he begun pick- ing up the crumbs on the floor. The bride and bridegroom looked at each other in horror and fled from tha kitchen. An hour or so later the services of a nelghbor were called upon and this time the turkey was an- esthetized with an ax. Her Daddy Was All Right. When I was twelve years old 1 called upon Mary (aged ecleven) one Sunday evening. 'T was all ‘dressed up and had pilfered an armful of mother's cherished lilacs from the garden. I stole out the alley gate, traversed Mary’s back yard and she met me at the kitchen door. We sat on the back steps. T restrnined a strong impulse to flee when. Mary said. “Father is coming. T think.” He was a gruft, bad man. When he saw us I was terror- stricken.

George Hayer of Dover, N. H,, tells a remarkable hunting story, which Is vouched for by witnesses, says the Manchester Union. Walting patiently behind a blind at Ayers pond in Bar- rington, Hayer and his companions saw a ‘large shelldrake alight oo a rock just outside of gunshot on the opposite side of the pond, and after makiug quite a lively turn there took to the air again and alighted in the water 30 yards from the blind, Hayer fired and killed the drake. An abnormal bunch or swelling no- ticed in the bird's throat, which ap- peared to have nearly shut off the breathing, was not investigated until | the return to town, where it was found that the drake had captured a large | pickerel and had devoured the head, after which 1t hud attempted to swal- | low the vest of the fish. The body of the plckerel stuck in the drake's throat. It measured 14 inches in length. The drake weighed, without the fish, four and one-half pounds. Hayer and his friends were served drake with pickerel on the side at the spread that followed the hunting ex- pedition. Mysterles of Nature. One of the most mysterious powers that close observation has revealed is the capacity of certain fishes and wa- ter animals to live out of the water, Some small crustaceans have been known (o lie for 40 years in dried mud without losing the power of ac- tively living when the mud was mois- tened again. A naturalist visiting Jerusalem took a little mud from the pool of Gihon, at the Jaffa zate. and put it in a pill box. It lay dry for 40 vears, but when some of the dry dust was put into a saucer full of water It gave rise after a short time to some lively water fleas. The eel, as Is well known, can travel through | damp grass. There is a tropical fieh, | known as the climbing perch, which has the very curious habit of scram- bling, by means of its pectoral fins, up stomes, roots, and even the trunks of trees, in search of insects on which it feeds. Still more surprising is the habit of a South African fish, cailed Clarias, which is said to make noc- turnal raids on the fields in order to eat the grains of millet.—Cincinoati Enquirer.

SPANIEL GETS GOLF BALLS English Dog Source of Considerable Revenve to Small Boy, His Owner and Colleague. The Manx seagull who seized a golf baBl from under the very niblick of a player, was a spoil-sport.as well us a ,gourmand. His conduct can be ex- tenuated only on the plea of defective education. Very different it is with the spaniel who plles a steady trade on certain links in Comwall, England. The course lies along the cliff top, ‘with a steep Seaward slope strewn with loose rocks and thick with gorse | and all kinds of tangled growth. | Many a ball goes bouncing down. From the doorstep of a cottage look- ing on the links, an amiable spaniel watches. Is it fancy which sees his brown eyes glisten when a new ball {s abaneoned? When the last golfer hies Un- hastinyr, systematle, he works that bank of rock and heather. where four feet have so great an advantage in security, and the nose is a safer gulde to hidden treasure than the eye. His accomplice, 8 mere boy. who acts as storekeeper and uzccountant, recelves the proceeds on the brink. Up and down trots the traveling member of the firm, till darkness is complete, and he Iolls homeward behind his . col- league, whose pockets bulge with treasure to be exchanged tomorrow with its former owners or their friends for coin. BUSY MAN GATHERS NICKELS New York Street Musician Might Be Said to Be a Whole Concert in Himself. A whole choir seems to burst forth into music along Chambers street these evenings as the workers are rushing along homeward bound, the New York Sun states. There is a volume of song supported | by an organ accompaniment. At first it seems as if some singing band had t1aken possession of the street. No one would imagine for a moment that one ! human being could be responsible for ail this musie. | But the crowd, pausing for a brief second, discovers that this is the case.; Drawn up to the curb is a street organ which the owner is operating with one hand. With the other hand he holds a megaphone through which he sings. Not | having a third hand, the singer-player | cannot accept the tributes of passers-, by while the ‘concert Is in progress, but this concert, like all such affairs, has | 1ts intermission when the orchestra be- | comes for the time being the business |Farm.

Smuggling in “Merrie England” | Smuggling and illicit trading were| common enough in England a century ago, according to the journals of the day—but more often than not the sub- rosa transactions were in things to eat. 'This ‘was especially true of game, which was very scarce in town and seldom offered for sale. That i3, it was not offered openly except at holiday time, but, none the less, hare and gawme birds appeared on many din- ner tables. The place to buy was at the end of a stage line of the driver, as a rule, who had understanding with poachers throughout the territory, and who managed to keep supplies on hand for good customers, in‘ spite of the game wardens. Seizures of game off the Sunday platters of families that were weary of the taste of the everlasting beef and mutton and pork are not recorded in any prominent way, but some of the news notes are nothing less than an- cient family portraits of old man Human Nature. Rival for the Skunk. Muskrats force themselves occaslon- aliy upon one’s attention in Indin by their habit of entering a bungalow and ambling slowly round the rooms, talk- ing loudly to themselves all the time in a chittering voice. Although ratlike, the muskrat is not really a rat, but a large shrew, pro- tected by an extreme degree of offen- sive odor like sickeningly strong musk, 1t not interfered with it wiil solilo-| quize round the room, picking up in- sects atfracted by the light, and wan-| der out again; but Jet anyone assault 3 it, and the room will scarcely be hab- itable Zor a time. Dog or cat only attacks n muskrat once in its lite, and the mongoose moves politely out of its way. That is the meaning of the continu- ous noise which it makes as it goes along—a sort of alarm bell to let all concerned know that something is com- ing which is best left alone. | Tumbleweed. | If one crosses the western prairies | of the great Arkansas valless, and| happens to be there in the fall, dur- ing a bigh wind, one may see a very strange sight. Antelopes, rabbits, prairie dogs, and sometimes o\-on] herds of cattle racing along the plains| pursued by strange balls, nearly as| tall as a man! These balls, when seen a little nearer, seem to be masses| of sticks stuck closely together. The| plant that forms these balls/is called| the tumbleweed. Botanisis call it Cyeloma plalyphylium. It belongs to; a genus of plants that grow into 1 thick. vound wass of small branches attached to the roots each by a small stem that, in the fall, becomes dry and| yrittle.
