| THE 'BEMIDJI DAILY ‘' FIONEER =V AT THEATRES “TWO MINUTES TO GO,” AT THE REX THEATER TONIGHT Charles Ray has scored another wrgen triumph in “Two Minutes To Go,” a_corking story of college life by :Richard Andre, which began an tgernent at the Rex theater last Ray gives an excellent portrayal of ‘ football hero in this. admirable t National attraction. fhe charm and virility which has characterized Riy -in past - screen -successes was never better exemplified than in his interpretation of the role of the col- lege lad, who, through financial re verses, is compelled to quit the team and give his spare time to peddling milk as a meang of working his way through school. Because he is ashamed of the job and offers no explanation of his leaving the team on which he nas be! nlayer, Chet Burnett, pot N \ on y the con- smates and his swee: hecrt. The great day comes, when Chet saves his team from de- feat and transforms a combination of misfortunes into happiness. Ray is given excellent support by L Mary Anderson, his leading lady, who makes a very charming lttle coed. Lionel Belmore, Lincoln Stedman, Trueman Van Dyke, Gus Leonsra, Tom Wilson and the other playcrs also contribute toward the success of this wholesome production. Richard Andre ig the author of “Two Minutes To Go,” and it is to be hoped that he will favor the screen —and Charles Ray—with mor: mu- terial of this kind. BEBE DANIELS SURPRISES AS A WISTFUL ORPHAN HEROINE Admirers who have got into the way of thinking of her always as dashing Bebe Daniels, get a surprise when they see her in “Nancy Frou Nowhere,” which ig showing toniznt for the last time at the Grand thea- fi:& for she has in thig picture an en- ly new kind of role from anything she has done heretofore. % All the well known Daniels mis- chief and sparkle are subdued and the “good little bad girl” of the sgreen appears ag a shy and wistful orphan, oppresged and repressed by a pair of ‘“low lives.” She is none the less appealing, however, and hc dark beau.y 1s not marred by her raggedy costumes. “WHY ANNOUNCE MARRIAGE” AT ELKO THEATER TONIGHT “Why Announce Your Marriage?” the picture featuring Elaine Han- merstein, showing last times at the Etko theater tonight, is a society com- edy based upon the actual experiences of one of the country’s most famous woman writers. Readers of newspap- ers and magazines ajl remember the startling disclosures made some time back regarding the secret marriage of Fannie Hurst, whose wedding was kept secret for years before it finally became known to the public. Ti's, of course, is not the story of Fannie Hurst’s married life, but i all prob- ability the experiences of Miss Hurst inspired the story. The picture throughout provides cotnedy of the snappy variety. Miss Hammerstein seldom has been seen to better advantage than in her whini- sical role of an artist-bride who be- lieves that the living apart of newly- weds will perpetuate their happiness. Niles Welch makes a handsome and dashing young husband and an im: portant comedy role is entrusted to Arthur Housman, who usually is the llain in the piece. Florence Billinge s an important role in the_picture and others in the cast are Huntley ordon, Frank Currier, James Har- rison, George Lessey, Marie Burke gld E'izabeth Woodmere. Ottawa, Ontar The total catch 1 both consts of ing month was 5! ued at $1,213,625, compared with 473,716 cwts., calued at $964,143 dur-) ing December, 1920. TONIGHT ELAINE HAMMERSTEIN “Why Announce ~ Your :~Marriage?” +Would marriage be more successful if husbands and wives have separate es- “tablishments? “Is marriage the private af- ;fair of two people, or ‘should it conform to the conventional rules of so- ciety?

Corvet has deeded his house and its contents to Alan. CHAPTER 1V,—Alan takes posgession of his new hpme. CHAPTER V.—That night Alan discov- ers a man ransacking the desks and bu- reau drawers in Corvet's apartments. The appearance of Alan tremendmlulr agitates the intruder, who appears to think him a ghost and raves of “the Miwaka.” After a struggle the man escapes. | (Continued from. last issue) It proved to have brought Constance and her mother; Mrs. Sherrill, after informing Alan that Mr, Sherrill might not return until some time later, went “You're Not Staying' Here Tonight?" She Asked. upstairs and did not appesar’again. Constance followed her mother but, ten minutes later, came downstairs. “You're not staying here tonight?” she asked. “I wanted to say to your futher,” Alan explained, “that I believe I had better go over to the other house.” “Are you taking any one with you?” she inquired. “Any one?” *A servant, I mean.” “Then you'll let us lend you a man from here.” i “You're awfully good; but I don't think I'll need anyone tonight. Mr. Corvet's—my father's man—Is coming back tomorrow, I understand. I'll get along very well until then.” She was silent a moment as she looked away. Her shoulders suddenly Jjerked a little. “I wish you'd take sonie one with you,” she persisted. “I. don’t like to think of you alone over there.” “My father must have been often alone there.” “Yes,” she sald. “Yes,” She locked at him quickly, then away, checking a question. She wanted to ask, he knew, what he had discovered in that lonely house which had so agitated, him; for of' course she had noticed agitation in him. And he had intended to tell her, or, rather, her father.

How? I mean, warn you against what?” “Against thinking too much of him.” She turned away. o “I think I'll come to see‘your father in the morning,” Alan said, wkexf Con- stance looked back to him. “But youw'll come over here breakfast in the inorning?” “You want me?” “Certainly.” “T'd like to come very much.” “Then, I'll expect you.” She followed him-to. the door. when he had put on his things, .-and he made no objection .when she asked-that the man be al- lowed to carry his bag around to ‘the other house.

The emotion roused by his first sight of the Jake went through him again as he opgned thé window to the east.

So it's you that got Ben! Yl get you! , . . You can't save the Miwaka!” The Miwaka! The stic of that name was stronger now even than before; it had been running through' his con- sciousness almost constantly stiice he had heard it. Fe jumped -up and turned on the light and found a pencil. He did not know how to spell the name and it was not necessary to write it down; the name haJ taken on that definiteness and ineffaceableness of a thing which, once heard, can never again bhe forgotten. But, in panic that he might forget, he wrote it, guessing at the spelling—“Miwaka.” It was a name, of course; but the name of what? It repeated and re- peated {tself to him, after he got bgrk into bed, unty} Its very iteration made him_drowsy. | Outside, the gale . whistled and, The wind; passiiig its last SR A 3 fer ' Ite ! §iveap across the) nyrnmw;bgflo(e it-leaped upon.the h\kp,: \tteredt 100 HRMPA (n its assault] no longer as it} the eaves and over the roof: hutas out’s Lopsthe lnke, above the roaring and ice-| crunching waves, it whipped and cir. cled with its chill the lce-shrouded sides of 'struggling ships.
