These are three of the outstand- ing characters in “ The Rosary,” the -special SeligrRork feature ate traction, founded on the stage play by Edward E. Rose and the immortal song of the same name, which will be screened st the Rex theater on tonight and Wednesday. On the front porch of Fath:r Brian Kelley these turee old cronies gather and discuss the problems and make plans for: the happiness and prosperity of the little fishing vil- lage of Sandy Bay. There are no racial or religious predjudices in this little group. They are one in striving toward that long sought goal the brotherhood of man. Lewis S. Stone.is said to give a mangificient characterization as the fine upstanding Father Kelley, while the work of Bert Woodruff as the erusty old Captain Mather, and Dore Davidson as Isaac Abrahamson, the merchant, is declared to represent the best they have yet given to the screen. According to advance reports, “The Rosary” not only presents some remarkable character sketches, but it is also one of the most powerful romantic photodramas of the year. “The Rosary¥ is an Auocnted Fint National re]enu “MADONNAS AND MAN” AT ELKO TODAY, WEDNESDAY + “Madonnas and Man” is'a tensely dramatic story of ancient Rome and modern New York. In the - Roman Coliseum at the beginning of the Christian. era the Emperor Turnur- ius with: his favorite, Ne watches the bestial games in ‘the arena. His son Gordlnn. is asked by Grimaldo, magician, to save the life of a Christian. girl about to. ''be thrgwn to the lions. He refuses Grimaldo therupon prophesies. the fate of the empire. He tells the Prince a. story -of the future, The scenes are laid in New York, 2,000 years in adyance. The Roman: char- actérs are reincarnated and travel through intensely dramatic - -situa- tions. The Prince is deeply affected and intervenes.as requested, . . The cast is an all-star.. The work of’‘Evan Burrows Fontaine, - Hd- mond Lowe, Faire Binney, Anders Randolf, Gustav von Seyffertitz and Raye Dean being exceptionally g0od. 7BX A. Rolfe, the ‘director, Has never made a better picture than this one, few directors have, and in it he proves that he takes high rank among the present day producers .of photodramas. The two stories,: the ancient and the modern, are. tensely told, with even continuity and can be followed with unabated interest. “WATCH YOUR STEP” AT : GRAND ;THEATER THURSDAY “Watch : Your Step”. a Goldwyn eomedy coming to the Grand theater for two days commencing Trursday is a production of youth in every sense of the word. The story itself’ is'an ‘inimitable tale of country town young folk. The. leading man: and .the leading woman of- “Watch Your Step” are Cullen Landis and Pltsy Ruth Miller. * 'Since the story deals with youth‘ and youth’s point of view, there is no_straining or reminiscing to “put it.‘over” in the picture. The result is' a delightful, rollicking, utterly ‘human and natural screcn version of real lifes ADDED ATTRACTION AT GRAND THEATER TONIGHT +An added attraction at the Grand s tonight and: Wednesday evening ‘will ‘be charming dance numbers by ‘La Verna Dugas, talented little “daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Wm. "Dugas. La Verna's ‘performance in California, present home of the Du- ggs family, are much sought after by those acquainted with her capa- bility to entertain, B VERMII.ION PENCIL” -, AT ‘THE GRAND TONIGHT ‘A "vyoleano -bursting into. smoke nna flame as it spews out its fiery torrent of molten lava. ‘Buildings crashing -into fragments as the earth rocks ‘and sends huge structures tot- tering -to the ground. Fleeing na- tives rushing for safety and being overtaken by the flaming flood. This ig but a brief word-picture of one of jfif\a, big scenes in Sessue Hayakawa’s' ™~ but latest reports from' that country show that the diggers are experiencing very ‘hard times, owing' to the slump In the precions stone in u\e European flll’k“l. oy ‘Coober Pedy, the homc of the fa- mous: South Australian black opal, 18 100. miles from anywhere, and prob- ably. the most primitive village in the British empire.: The Australian blacks christened ‘it' Coober Pedy, or “white man living in a hole," and it well de- serves its name. Of all the rough outback jobs in Australia, digglog for opal is about the worst. Coober Pedy lles in the heart of the Stewart range, 170 miles from the nesrest station on the East- ‘West rallway, and its whole population Of between 70 and 80 diggers lives un- dergronnd in burrows scratched out of the hillside. A tin shanty, in which diggers keep thelr tools, is the only sign of Wfe showing above ground. Every morning the diggers come out of their burrows and set out for the opal elds, to cut patiently.through the rock in the hope of finding the beau- tiful black diamonds lying -beneath. Between them they have dug.pany thousands of pounds’ worth of opal in the last foyr years, though they have worked only a small area of a ‘fleld sald to be 40 miles long. In mormal times opal'ls worth $:30 an ounce, but now that there is practically no de- mand for the gems the diggers have opal, but no money. SHAH JEHAN’S PEARL MOSQUE Beautiful Temple Agra Is Lined WHh White and Biye-Veined Marble. Among the most beautiful of Shah Jehan's sculptured monuments is the péarl mosque at Agra. The entrance gateway of red sandstone contrasts effectively with the interior of white and blue-veined marble, says a writer In -Asla. An fnscription in letters of ‘black marble states that this mosque may be likened to a precious pearl, for no other mosque is similarly lned with marbla The Indian influence upon - Mobammedan _architecture ..of this ‘period - is' evidenced ‘in the lotus petal cap decorating the domes and in the purely Hindu finials, lemumnu ‘Mohaimmeddn ‘mosques.| ‘bearing instend:| the stmple spire with - the ‘star 'and ¢rescent. The follated - arches come. from a Buddhist source, symbolizing the lotus-leaf shaped aura around the body of Gautama, The poimed upper foliation is derived from the shape of the leaf of the bodhi or pipul tree, under Wwhich Gautama attained to en- lightment and Buddhahood, and {is commenly. used in Buddhist ‘idolatry to indicate the nimbus around, tlie head. The master bullders of.Mogul days were chiefly Indians from Ben- gul, ‘dnd, since they were artists and artisans rather. than mechanical work- men, much jof the inspiration of the architecture of.this period must be ac- credited to them.

Victor Keene, Indianapolis physician and surgeon, once was be- ing prepared for' an” appendicitis op- eration. He'was a fellow among those whose -loving hands were to gas*him out: and -carve him' up.. So-they.were making ‘grim humor about “the | cat- ting ‘party.

Don’t you know he's a merv- ous devil? Look out! Sly, you'll aniff him out!” e ! | ing took root in Lincoln he has noticed BOY'SCOUTS AMQ— IRDS The same energy Whi into robbing birds’ nes Cock Robin down'with'a sling shot is still inherent in the small boy, but in scouting it is_put to other uses which are. constructive instead of destruc- tive. ‘Every winter scouts maintain hundreds of feeding stations for their feathered friends and. every spring thousands of bird houses are built and set up by boy scouts all over the coun- try, so that when the birds come north no renting problems await them. Near- ly every local council and many indk vidual troops conduct a bird house bullding contest which rouses great in- terest among scouts- and fulfills more than one purpose in wat not only. are the birds well served, hut the boys get practical carpentry training. In plan- ning the houses they observe and dis- covef bird babits, In the endeavos to build houses which will suit the prospective tenant. -To most people a bird house Is a bird house, but a scout knows that what will be just the thing for a wren may not please a bluebird at all. Taking bird censuses and co-operat- ing with Audubon socleties in protect- ing bird Tife “are also fairly frequent in scout activities. A certain troop in San Francigco which has made a spe- clalty of bird study and conservation has been made officlal guardians of the birds ot Golden City Park. Another feature of bird conservation work which received much attention at the twelfth annual meeting of the national counell in March at the sug- gestion of ‘Jabn M. Phillips of Pitts- burgh is-the projéct of planting large numbers of mulberry trees for the ben- efit of the robins and othér fruit-eating birds which arein danger ot extinction at the hands of-farmers; who realize only, that thie bifds eat tlieir own fruit | crops without also realizing that they do an ‘incalculable service in the de- struction ‘ of ‘insects. - “From March until June,” says John M. Phillips, who' was Instrumental in getting the Box Scouts of America to take action In this matter, “the -robins and other birds scour the gardens, fields and forests clean of:destructive-insect life, end ‘make 'possible. our small fruit ¢rops. Yet in June, when the parent attempt to “collect” for their ] ithe of cherries and berries whlch they had an indis- || pensable share 'in raising, they meet with .a° very - different reception from that to which they.are entitled, espe- cially. since the federal government is now issuing permits to kill robins | when they are’committing or are about to commit-serious injury to cherrles and other small fruit trees. Such ac- -tlon, according to Mr. Plillips, Is not only a sericus blunder, but a real breach of honor to our feathered ben- efactors. ‘His-solution 1s, supply more fruit and berries of an unmarketable vprlety. The sweet cherry and tfe mul- berry, both .cheap and quick to grow, are prime favorites with the birds, agd consequently planting these specles means saving niore valuable crops, especially as they bear continuously all summer, and ‘6ne tree will feed hun- dreds of birds. Scouts are not only to plant these trees themselves, but they are to help to educate the public, es- pecially the. farmer public, as to the practical as well' ag humane aspect of such a_procedure. . . BUILD FROM FOUNDATION We have heard scoufing praised by judges and fire chiefs, by clergymen and policemen., Recently came a ver- | dict in favor of scouting ns @ leaven by a representative of another calling —a Lincoln (Ilinois) motorman., This gentleman. announces that since scout- a marked decrease of mischievous and annoying pranks-on the part of boys who formerly liked to “flip” cars and do other things to make themselves a nuisance to car. men.. The speaker was of the opinion: that the boy scout ‘nttitude of mind-has had much to do with. this. desirable change, not only because the movement puts its fol- loweérs on their homor, but also be- cause It gives boys something useful and interesting to occupy their time and attention, which is, by the way, an opinion arrived at independently and colncides. -with -that of some of the most famous educators In the world. § An editorial in the Lincoln Star re- porllng the motorman's verdict adds: This, may be a little matter asi ‘things go, but it Is one of the small’l matters; that go to make big ones.” The scouts believe a going to the bot- tom and building the boys up. If they are right in small things they will not? err in the larger.
