Invincible General THEODORA TAKES FIRST PLAGE AMONG THE HUGE MOTION PICTURE WORKS Production Required More Than Two Years In the Making and Repre- sents Outlay of Over $3,000,000— Rita Jollvet In the Title Rola, More than two years of preparation and the expenditure of over 15,000,- 000 ire (which i» more than $3,000, 000 at the present low rate of- ex- change in creating “Theodora” which Goldwyn will present at the Iris thea- ter starting Sunday, - It is the same wonderful production that has scored such a remerkable success at the Astor theater, New York, and in a few other principal cities. The people o? Casper are for- tunate in being one of tho first cities to witness the spectacle which was made in Italy by the Unione Cinema- tografica Itallana. “Theodora” is a screening cf Sar Gou's famous romance, built around the historic personage of the Em- press Theodora who ruled the Roman empire in the sixth century as the wife of the celebrated Justinian. His- torians have decreed for many centur- ies about the virtues and the faults of the great Theodora, but all agree that she was of surpassing loveliness and exquisite charm, She was the daugh- ter of a lion tamer in the circus at Byzantium (es Constantinople was then called) and led a life of pleasure until she met Justinian, the heir to the throne of the Caesars. He fell madly in love with her and their mar- riage elevated her to the throne when | he became emperor. The life of Theodora after she be- came an empress is refiected in the film, together with the historic love story of her mad infatuation Yor the young Greek, Andreas, for whom she sacrificed her throne. The screen story follows the gereral outlines of Sardou’s famous romance, acted org: finaly by Sarah Bernhardt, and gli rifles Theodora in her supreme sacrt- fice for the one real love that came jinto her life. Yet Theodora, with all her charm, was a mad unreasoning woman when it came to saving the life of her lover. In order to distract attention when he {s sentenced to death, she turns forty ons loose into the areana among the mob so that Andreas made his escape in the con- fusion. ‘This startling effect is sald to have been screened with the ut- most realism in “Theodora.” ‘There are many massive sets, several {m- mense ensembles which employ as } title roll of Theodora. many es 25,000 people at one tim and a large cast, headed by the} French actress, Rita Jolivet in the| ~he Gamer Cally weHrne [ eres | Oil Securities | Furnished by Taylor and Clay LOCAL OLL STOCKS, Risepmnt et ae 24 Big Indian —————_ -22 et Boston-Wyoming ——— 75 <7 Buck Creek ———__— -18 19 gurke ——-————__— 11 a3 Blackstone Salt Creek 34 Biack Tail 03 Capital Pete 20% Columbine 20 Consolidate?

He shot himself after his pet Boston terrier “Pesey” died yesterday. “I want to die too,” Russell sobbed to his mother, Mrs. Marte Grover. Yesterday a policeman visited the Iad'’s home. He took his pistol from its holster and tucked it be hind a cushion on a davenport. Then he, with the boy's mother and other guests, went into the library. A moment later the crash of a shot stopped their laughter. They found the boy crumpled on the floor, the big police pistol in his hand.

PULLMAN COMPANY GETS PERMIT TO TAKE OVER RIVAL GONGERN SHINGTON, Jan. 10. - 10.—Authority was granted the La interstate commerce commission to- of the Haskell & Barket Car 0 shares of new capital stock, hay- 16 500,000. against the action by C. E. Nash of Los 7 ast A> ss, C4", on the ground that the pr. she car company would be so hugh as to increase charges to the public users of Pullman equip ment, but the commission refused to allow them. and held that the Pull- man company could have completed the transaction without asking inter- state commerce commission permis sion. ‘The commission analyzed the finan- clal condition of the Haskell & Bark- er corporation and concluded that the purchase was for a lawful object and that the price paid was reasonable. The Pullman company, by the addi- tion of the new plant, the commission held would emphasize the value of its services as a common carrier. It slso held thai tnasmuch as there was rooms for doubt concerning the necessity of the commission touching the matter, the commission would as- sume jurisdiction in the case because the Pullman company desired. Commissioner Eastman dissented from the opinion and said that the transaction should not be brought be- fore the commission. ~ Reviewing the financial aspect of the Pullman and Haskell & Barker il | iF it ate fA ba! : ? $ Wholese FRESH MEA TSrexi Largest Market in the State merger, the commission found that 129 East assets of the Pullman company before e a) Second St. the consolidation amounted to $163,- e 248,989 against which capital stock had been issued, having a par value of $120,000,000.
