e e e e . e B it A i i “THE WOMAN'S SIDE,” REX ‘THURSDAY AND FRIDAY “The Woman’s Side,” a First Na- tional attraction, to be presented at the Rex theatre Thursday .and Fri- day, is a picturization of ofie of the often-enacted dramas of human life which never gets into the papers and which are always' carefully concealed by those Fate casts as the principals. The best stories seldom get into print and the best of life’s dramas seldom get to screen or stage, but “The Woman’s Side”' is one of those exceptions which prove truth much stranger than fiction.. There is mnothing improbable in this picture; it is a chain of events beautifully and logically woven in the most dramatic style and it will not fail to hold the interest of any audience. Miss MacDonald gives a fine in- terpretation of the heroine’s role and she is ably supported by one of the strongest casts that has ever been assembled for screen work. director, J. A, Barry, and. sub- conciously points out a moral les- son picturegoers will not soon for- Henry Barrows, Edward _ Burns, Ora Devereaux Dwight Crittenden, and Wade Boteler. WHAT’S WORTH WHILE?” AT ELKO THEATRE TONIGHT Lois Weber, director-producer of “What’s Worth While?”, her latest production for Paramount, in dis- cusing this picture immediately after the editing had been completed, gtated that, taken as a whole, she considered this picture which will be shown at the Elko theatre tonight last, times, her greatest screen achievement. The story has all pa- thos and comedy of life as IT IS, which is faithfully portrayed in a manner that will allow the exhibiting of thig production to a Sunday School class, without offense, and which at the same time has retained the “kick” which will satisfy the Its a picture with no kickers, Claire has the leading woman’s most rabid fan. a_ “kick” but Windsor role. “CONCEIT” AT THE ELKO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY The Elko theatre on Friday and Saturday will present the latest big Selznick Special “Conceit,” and ac- cording to the management the pa- a picture that is decidedly worth- while. Combining the best elements of a modern society play with the action and adventure of an outdoors drama it is said that the spectators will find much variety of scene and character in this photoplay.

P. McGowan with Fritzi Bounette, and that comedy “mirthquake”’ en- titled “I Do”, in which the origina- tor of clean comedy, Harold Lloyd, takes the leading role. Both pic- tures are of such excelence that this return engegement is warranted. \This program is justly enti}le{}tqa § called “Double Special’, as /theen tertainment offered is of a class most’ persons thoroughly enjoy.. ¥ “FLOWER OF THE NORTH” AT THE REX THEATRE SUNDAY A novel touch has been given to “Flower of the North,” the James Oliver Curwood special production which will be shown' at the Rex theatre Sunday. This touch is found in the prologue which shows the North country in the days of the French Chevalier, when knights fought for a fair lady’s hand. This comes in decided contrast with the North country at the present day. “Flower of the North” is consid- ered one of the best of Mr. Cur- wood’s books. | COLLISION OF TRAINS IS FEATURE OF FILM One of the most exciting scenes in “The Show,” a Lary Semon com- edy which will be shown at the Rex theatre Sunday, is the collision be- f tween a locomotive and a box filied with high explosives. This provides a big thrill and a big laugh. HELEN GIBSON TO APPEAR AT THE REX IN PERSON Manager Brinkman of the Rex theatre has succeded after much ex- herself, to appear in person at the Rex theatre June 1 and 2, with her latest picture “The Wolverine” Miss Gibson is well known to | theatre goers of Bemidji as the most daring actress on the screen. While she was making her well known se- ries “The Hazards of Helen” her work was under the supervision of Railroad Officials as they were in constant fear that some of their railroad equiqment would be wreck- ed as a result of her marvelous dar- ing. Leaping from horses, automobiles and airplanes onto trains is child’s play for Miss Gibson. “The Wolverine”, the picture which will be shown with her per- sonal apoearance, is a very wo thy vehicle for Miss Gibson. i picture she displays horseman which very few of our male west2rn | stars can equal. She is well support- ed by a very capable cast.. A SWEEPING REFORM Mrs. Peck: - Make up your mind, Henry, there’ll be no more of_this wine, women and song stuff, ~ Henry N.

There is a theory that the Aztecs and Incas of America, who had de- veloped a civilization on this continent many centurles before Columbus came, were descended from the Atlantiuns, the people who inhabited a continent which set out in the Atlantlc ocean, between Kurope and Africa and the American coast. History seems to reach back to Asla and Africa about 5,000 rs before Christ and in the earliest historic times there was a tradition of a land far west of Africa having high moun- tains, valleys, plains and splendid cities. That land might have existed 10,000 or 20000 years ago. It is thought possible that the Azores, Ma- deira, Canary and Cape Verde islunds were sowe of the highlands and moun- tain tops of the old and vanished con- tinent, the name of which has come to us from the early Greeks as “At- luntis.” Oceanographers, sounding and sur- veylng the bottom of the Atlantle ocean, find deep valleys, mountain ranges, towering peaks and wide stretches of table lund deep beneath the surfuce of the sea. There was a tradition in Asla and Africa at the time recorded history begins that the Atlantians were about to invade Afri- ca and Asia, when their land was submerged. It might have been a vast tisaster due to volcanic action. The bottom of the sea in that part of the | world and the islands that rise out of it are voleanic and there are still active voleanoes in the sea and in the Azores, Canary and Cape Verde islands, which are supposed to be fragments of Atlan- \ls.—Milwaukee Journal. DIFFER AS TO GIANT RAY Naturalists Divided in Opinion Con. corning Structural Makeup of Monster Fish. The great devilfish or giant ray, which abounds in the waters around Benufort, S. C, and Captiva lnlet, Kla,, hus occasionally been found off New York and New Jersey. The fur- ‘hest north it has ever been taken I8 Block Island, where one was caught last year. ‘This was 14 feet wide between the tips of the pectoral fins, 7 feet long from head to base of tail, and weighed 1,686 pounds. This Is the only specimen known to have been welghed, but there are stories of fish thut are sald to have welghed 10,000 pounds, Dr. E. W. Gudger of the American Museum of Natural History writes of the glant ray in Science, and says that naturalists who have described it differ ns to whether It has a large spine or sting on its tail. The one caught at Rlock island had none, but there was a wound on the tail where a spine was sald to have been torn off. The late Theodore Glll, dean of American ichthyologists, doubted the spine, as have other writers, although gome naturalists picture it with one. Kipling as a Stret Musician. Kipling's verse, even where it Is not slang, is rarely poetry. but it is, for the most part, clean and neat in its rhythmical swing, well adapted for the purposes of the music halls, easy to remember, even without tune, pralse- wofthy In its control of the means of clarity, and, In short, a genuine article of its kind. . . Kipling is like a practised musiclan in that strange orchestra which we sometimes see In the 'street, clinging around one per- former; he nods his head, and the bells tinkle about his pagoda-shaped hat ; he stamps his foot, and the drum- stick bangs the drum and sets the cymbals clapping on his back, and all the while he is playing the concertina with both his hands and perhaps blow- ing into a panpipe with his mouth. —Arthur Symons, in London Quartevly Review.

Simon Bolivar lived ,during that periqd in the history of mankind when political revolution was the order of the day. He was born in Caracas, Venezuela, July 24, 1783. The Amerl can War of Independence had just thea come to an end, and while visit- ing Paris Bolivar had an opportunity to witness the closing scenes of the French Revolution. By this time the Spanish colonies in South America were beginning to make their various struggles for political independence, and when Bolivar returned to his na- tive land he soon found himself allied with the agitators who were strug- gling to free their country from the domination of Spain. He rapidly rose to a position of great prominence, both as a statesmap and a soldier, and he was again and again appointed as dic- tator until such time as political inde- pendence would be assured. He achieved the political independence of three states: - Colombia (in 1819), composed of Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador (from which the last two withdrew in 1830) ; Peru (1824); and Bolivia, nammed after Bolivar (1825). When' he diéd, December 17, 18%0, he did not have any public money in hig possession, although he had hzd com- plete control of the treasuries of these republics. ton rags--no buttons, bands or woolep eloth accepted.
