PAGE FOUR Ee €be Casper Daily Ceidune . SATURDAY, DARING AGTS FEATURE “THE ARIZONA EXPRESS” ‘Thrills and spills. The words de- scribe the melodrama which opened yesterday at the America theater. This is “The Arizona Express” and has more action than the ordinary picture three or féur times its length. It is almost impossible for the spectator to keep up with the new situations as they are con- tinually arising. It ts easily seen too that no expense has been spared in creating the great melodrama. The story has to do with a young man who is trapped into being arrested for the murder of his uncle and is sentenced to the gallows. A Prison break, many days of conceal- ment, a desperate effort on the part of his sweetheart to get his free- dom, and success, mark the high .. Ughts of the film. In addition to this the audience is given a glimpse of the Kip street gang, a band of thugs who have many robberies and murders to their credit, a stupend- ous scene of a runaway express train while those who are riding on it struggle with each other for supremacy, several death-defying leaps, and a fight in a motor car. The heroine shows that she is a real woman with a keen mentality and great courage. Tomorrow at noon “The World's Struggle for Oil" will be shown at the America under the auspices of the Wyoming Petroleum club. The film will be presented in adfition to the regular picture at the usual admission pri oo DIFFICULT ROLE HELO BY BETTY COMPSON IN PICTURE AT THE RIALTO ‘The beautiful Betty Compson in her newest picture, “Woman to Woman,” at the Rialto theater. ‘This is by far the finest piece of work yet created by this lovely star. She has in her part many trying moments which would tax the ability of any except a ‘finished artist, Her portrayal of the un- usual combination of fairy-like daintiness and womanly strength and unselfishness won the sympathy of the audience for the little dancer who places love before reason. ———__—_ “THE QUEEN OF SIN” STARTS HERE TODAY , The patrons of the Columbia theater will be glad to learn that “The Queen” of Sin” will open to- day and remain two days only. This massive spectacle picture had its successful premiere in New York quite recently. It is a perfect blending of picturesque modern drama and magnificent ancient spectacle. It is forceful in theme = and overwhelmingly impressive, par- = Ucularly in the episodes which de pict the obliterating of the beauteous cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Ninety aircraft were employed in these destruction scenes, and eight hundred buildirigs were demolished. Nothing which surpasses this pro- duction in pictorial scope and con- ceptfon has ever before been placed before the motion picture public. for his villainy in “Stranger Than Fiction,” was chosen. Dwight Crittenden, who played important roles in such great pro- ductions as ‘The Miracle Man” and “The Hocdlum,” was, cast in the role of father to the heroine, and Henry Barrows, one of the foremost American actors of stage and screen, was cast in the role of the adamantine newspaper publisher. Ora Deveroux, a well-known char- acter actress, was chosen as the erring mother, completing the best cast that has ever appeared in a Katherine MacDonald success. REALTORS IN CALIFORNIA IN CLASS OF OWN “Woods Alive” With Them and They Are Progressive Lot. BY L. ©. OWEN (Copyright 1924, The Casper Tribune) BERKELEY, Cal., March 29.—On many occasions eminent writers with no Intention of levity have 1 timated that California is a place populated largely by real estate agents and that !f any sacred spots are unadorned by “for sale” signs they are few, far between and hard to find. There is no denying that the real estate gentry have never been con- spicuous by thelr absence in Call- fornia but it also must be admitted they are both an agressive and a progressive lot. If any evidence is lacking on this score it will be found right here in the effete super col- lege y of Berkeley. Just now the state realty commission, which looks into and after licenses and the moral qualities of realty venders is trying to determine whether the lo- cal “memorial association” shall be allowed to sell cemetery lots as a speculative propaition. The concern, according to state- ments laid before the state commis- sion, has been advertising that op- portunity to buy burial plots on a lavish scale—not, however, as a final resting place for purchasers—but as an opportunity to buy realty hold- ings which in the next few years will double, triple and even quad- ruple in-value. So far as is known this is the first recorded instance even in California, wherein efforts have been made to induce the public to gamble ijn future values of its eterna] resting place. The so-called memorial association started an ad- vertising campaign two weeks ago- Prospectuses and display pace dwelt heavily upon the opportunities and nice profits for those, who, fig- uratively speaking, got in on the ground floor. Then following pro- tests by the local association of realty men, backed by the chamber of commerce, operations of the bur- fal plot concern were temporarily halted. Considerable mystery sur- rounds the allegations which brought the stop order. The case is now under consideration and a decision existed within a few days. Pending @ decision the state commission de- clines to make any statement for public consumption. Locally, however, two different reasons are being advanced. One sor to Secretary lace, should the latter resign. Maniac’s Work A man.ac with a peculiarly perverted mind is believed to have overturned 99 tombstones in Mount St. Mary’s Cemetery, Pawtucket, R.

He felt he was responsible for Harding's nomina- tion and for his success in office. Ho hoped for a second term for Mr, Harding. He saw only the opposi- tion of La Follette as a factor. His appointment as attorney general was the subject of criticism but Mr, Harding felt that to do otherwise would be an act of ingratitude on his part. There were those who counselled Harry Daugherty not to accept on the ground that he had been so active in politics that there would not be the necessary confi- dence in his administration of the department of justice.

The girl was on her way home from Seattle by way of Minneapolis when she disappeared from the train. She had used her hammock to lower herself from the window to the right of way. She was found yesterday morning in a snow bank east of Gladstone, N. D., after an extensive search. She had spent Thursday night in a strawstack. The right side of her face was partially frozen, and her mittens were frozen to her hands. She was brought to a hos- pital here, where she is recovering.
