Change <Your Husband, there is nothing that can be said that will not sound weak beside your own remembperance. “Why Change, Your Wife?”, is a story of married life. It is staged in the rich and lavish manner of all the . )’ DeMille productions. Its leading players are Thomas Meighan and Gloria Swanson, wno played the leading roles in “Male and Femile.” Bebe Daniels, scored such a “Everywoman,” is also in the cast, as well as a host of other farorites such as Theodore Kosloff, the famous Russina dancer, Sylvia Ashton, Clar- ence Geldart and Maym Kelso, “THREE MUSKETEERS” AT GRAND THEATRE TONIGHT “The Three Musketeers,” showing at the Grand again tonight on a three-day stay, is announced as the most gripping and spectacular film ever produced by Douglas Fairbanks. Based on that universally read classic by Alexander Dumas, “The Three Musketeers,” and added to from the Memoirs of D’Artagnan, this feature is said to embody more that is adventurous, romantic aand: dramatic than it has ever before been ggslsibla to incorporate in a film ve- lcle. Fred Niblo, who directed Douglas Fairbanks in “The Three Muske- teers,” was formerly a Coban & Harris star in the “speakies.”” “BLIND HEARTS” AT THE REX THEATRE NEXT THURSDAY Hobart Bosworth, man’s man, and hero of scores of gripping and virile out of door stories, is the star of “Blind Hearts” a thrilling narrative of the Alaskan gold rush days that is to open at the Rex theatre begin- nig_Thursday.

This spec- ial production, based on Zane Grey’s well known novel of the same name, | has achieved enviable success here— but success not greater than is justi- fied. Both acting and screening are a genuine credit to motion picture art at its best. The cast is an all star oue, headed by the stalwart young artist Maurice Flynn. The picture.will depart after to- nights showing.

The pro- duction is perfect and the direction all that could possibly be asked for. The photography is so good that bne is never conscious of it, which is the great test of camera work. “FOOLISH WIVES” AT ELKO BEGINNING NEXT SATURDAY “Foglish Wives,” the sensational Von Stroheim production, which has attracted so much attention in New York City, will be presented at the Elko theatre Saturday, Sunday, Mon- day and Tuesday. This gigantic super-Jewel pro- duction made by the master genius of Von Stroheim, after nearly two years of labor, and after Carl Laem- mle had expended over a million dol- lars on the picture, is assuredly the foremost American made production in the history of screen drama. Al- though the scenes are laid near Monte Carlo, the unusual and novel feat| was attempted of duplicating that famous Mediterranean resort on the shores of Southern California. No such colossal enterprise as re- producing the entire city of Monte Carlo at California has ecver been known in the moving picture industry. “Foolish Wives” adds to the laur- els of Von Stroheim, who wrote the | story, directed the picture and acted ! the leading role of a Russian count, ! who tries to fascinate a lot of fooi- ish wives. Others in the cast are; Miss DuPont, Mae Smith, Maude George, Dale Fuller, Rudolph Christians, and | a host of others, Nearly 15,000 people were employed in the showing the crowds in the gay pleas- ure resort in the South of France. “GLASS HOUSES” AT GRAND WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY In “Glass Houses,” her latest pro- duction releasedbp Metro, Viola Dana has to portray the role of Joy Duval, who, on her wedding day, finds that her husband, Billy Norton, believes her to be a notorious crook. He tries to persuade her to give up her life of (crime, but she thinks he has gone mad and tries to soothe him.

While she is trying to get him home so che can have him exami- ned as to his mental condition, the “RECLAIMED” AT THE REX real Angel Face comes upon the scene. THEATRE WEDNESDAY Without any doubt “Reclaimed” is one of the strongest, most absorb- ing melodramatic photodramas * re- leased this year. The story tells of a young and beautiful girl, born in ignorance and barbarity, reared amid neglect and | Viola Dana enacts the principal role in this, her gayest, comedy of adven- ture and hilarious complications which is to be shown at the Grand theatre for two days starting Wednesday: The production” was . directed by Harry Beaumont and the scenario story by Edith Kennedy from a story by Clara Genevieve Kennedy. MAY HAVE TOLTEC TREASURE t daid to Have Taken Enormous Fortune From Tomb of Ancient King. Students of archeology and kindred subjects in Mexico are deeply inter- ested in a remarkable story which comes from Colima, the capital of the state of that name, which borders Jalisco. According to the story, the French archeologist, Count Brisac de Saint Denis, while doing research work in Mexico tn 1910, came upon the tomb of an anclent Toltec king near the town of Comala, situated a short dis- tance from Collma. It is clrcumstantially asserted in nar- rating this tale that fn this tomb, along with the mummified body of the | king, were a dazzling ' collection of pearls, opals and gold dust of an’estl-* mated value of $10,000,000. It 1s stated thut the count was-anble to-get all thig “efiormous-fortine out of the ‘country - ~ and that it made him independently wealthy. Ancinvestigation of the strange re- port Is to be made by Mexican ar- cheologists. Beyond the fact that it is well-known that the count really dl spend some time in investigating th ancient ruins of a prehistoric race | aear Comala, there Is no authentle public knowledge here that he made | any suvh discovery.—New York World,' Unique, as 1t Were. “Rhode Island,” said Muriel to her father during the course of her study after dinuer, “is celebrated fov being the only one c¢f the United States that is the smallest.” | Key to Egyptian Hieroglyphics. The Rosetta stone, one of the most celebrated archeological discoveries of modern times, is famous for being the key whereby the decipherment of the yptian hieroglyphics was made pos- sible, Tt was found in 1799 near Ros- etta, t, by an oflicer of engineers in the nch army, which was then in occupation of that country. The stone is a slab of black basalt, and bears an inscription in honor of Ptolemy Epiphanes, written in three | languages—Greek, demotic and hiero- glyphic.

HELPSL WOULD DIVIDE UP INDUSTRY, Prominent Manufacturer Belleves Con- gestion in Large Cities Is In Nature of an Evil. Have the great industrial centers of the United States reached:their max- imum growth? A leading manufacturer believes that they have, that the time has come to break up the congestion of workers in large clties, and to get back to the small communities with industry. His theory is that the massing of indastrial workers in large city is bud for the country, and that anything which is bad for the country is in the long run bad for industry. He announces that he has demonstrated to his own satisfaction that industries can be taken to the people who live close to the soil, and that he expects to expand his own industrial activities along this line, His idea is that instead of hous- ing a large industry in a single large plant or group of plants in a city it can be broken up into small units, and each unit can be successfully operated i o small town, where it will provide employment for the class of people who leave small towns for the indus- trial opportunities of the cities, and also part-time employment for farmers who are now unalje to puke a satis- factory living on small farms. The water power available in m: small towns will provide thg power for the factory, and the factory will provide power for the town's utilitles. In this way, he believes, the towns can be made attractive enough to hold the workers, and the whole scheme will save them from the unwholesome life in packed citles. KEEP TOWN LOOKING RIGHT Appearance Is Inseparably Connected With Business Success and Pros- perity of Community. The physical appearance of a town has much to do with its business suc- ces and progress. People are not at- tracted to a disorderly town. It looks like the kind of a place where inefii- clency is the rule. Visitors have the feeling that that spirit would prevall in the stores in their dealing with the But a town whose business | and home buildings are kept in good winner. People feel that the same spirit of order and system and en- terprise must make it a good place to do business. There are some folks everywhere whose instinct is to slip along as easily as possible, They realize that their real estate Is getting to look a little run down, but their motto Is, “Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow."” Every time anvone gets out and straightens up a leaning fence, or re- pairs some tumbledown building, or |- paints & house that is getting to look shabby, he helps his home town take a step toward progress. His desire for improvement spurs on his different neighbors, and soon the whole street Degins to have a new air of alertress and success.—Louisville (Texas) En- terprise. % What Zoning 'DoclA. Some of the things that zoning laws do for a city are summarized by Charles B. Ball: Zouing substitutes method for chance, -symwetry for confusion, pro- gression for patch work, and order for chaos in city development. Zoning affords for the poor man such security from nuisancés and in- vasion as the rich may provide at great expense. Zonlug-is a flexible harness in which city expansion works; it may be ad- Justed in case it galls or frets at any “point. Zoning will flatten out the human pyramid which congestion has created in a crowded portion of the clty. Zoning sells a town. An unzoned town Is like a dead stock of goods on the shelves. Restorer of Cemeteries. Miss Marlon Eaton of Old Sudbury, Mass., has succeeded in an unusual field for a college woman, that of re- storing old graveyards. She is also a garden planner. “To city people graveyards do mnot | mean much,” stated Miss Eaton, “but | to the countryman—it holds his loved ones. It is where he goes for his Sunday afternoon stroll, or his after- church smoke, and it should be beau- tiful. That is what I mean to make it.” Building Up a City.
