The production is divided into four .-episodes, each episode being base n one of the four stories.

The vety ;mention of the words “School, Days” holds an appeal for young andold, and it is said that every mother who has boys, every man who'remembers his boyhood, every human/being who can thrill to the joys, the disappointments, the pranks and the glory of boyhood will gloat over the trials and tribulations of Speck Brown, better known to the screen world as Wes’ Barry. Briefly the story centers around a small town boy who loves the old swimmin’ hole and his dog., Hippy, better than anything else in the world He meets a wealthy uncle who sends him east to get an education. Here he meets many youngsters of weal- thy parents, and he finds himself out of the social swim. He is beset by many trials and tribulations, and finally he goes back home to his faithful dog and his little country sweetheart via the freight train route. “ There are said to be many other interesting high-lights in the picture, in addition to a cast composed of a number of players who have graced the screen in scores of productions. The cast includes, in support of Wes’ Barry, Nellie P. Spaulding, Margaret ‘Seddon, Jerome Patrick, George Les- sey, Arline Blackburn, J. H. Gilmore, Franéis Xy Conlan and Arnold Lucy. The production was made by Harry Rapf, and directed by William Nigh. “THE FAITH HEALER” AT ELKO THEATER LAST RUN TONIGHT Several extraordinary features in connection with “The Faith Healer” * “|theater tonight last showing make d | Williams and other celebrities are in Edwards classic s John - Galsworthy, Eveline Sherman,|: it one of the most notable examples of the screen art produced by George Melford this season.

Hart’s latest and most memorable Paramount picture, “Tra- velin’ On,” to be shown for two days at the Grand theater commencing next Sunday, y William S. Hart wrote the story with that end in view. That, too, was probably why he got Lambert, Hillyer to direct it, and Joe August, A.S.

The story of the three buddies who have been reported missing and who turn up alive after all, is one of tremendous interest. There is an exquisite love story and an abundance of humor in * rhree Live Ghosts.” The produc- tion by George Fitzmaurice is high grade, the cast headed by Anna Q. gliluson and Norman Kerry is artis- 1C. “THE LIGHT IN THE CLEARING” AT THE GRAND TONIGHT g “The Light in the Clearing,” which is showing for the last time tonight at the Grand is the second story by that famous author, Irving Bacheller, to reach the screen. One of those delightfully old fashioned and rural stories that Bacheller so well knows how to tell, it will take you back to the days of your child- hood when a rosy red apple was a man’s greatest gift to a woman. Joe Martin, the famous monkey comedian in his mewest two part comedy “The Monkcy Bellhop” com- pletes the program. .

Gold Knives Used to:Carve Sacrifices. At Chichen-itza, in Yucatan, where there is a sucred sinking well, there has ‘been found all sorts of beautiful sieritices imbedded i the mud. Jade necklaces, golg® plates and small jars heavily studded with jade, sometimes containing human hearts, have been found in this well. The Maya Indians made these sacrifices when they want- ed rain or a blessing for their crops. Beautiful gold knives that were un- doubtedly used to carve up the victims. of sacrifice, usually young women; have also been found. The Maya Indians of northern Yu- catan probably use the same language as the builders of the ruins:among which they live, says Prof. A. M. Toz- zer, of Harvard unlversity.
