TONES AND STARRING AT AMERICA Charles Jones has a role that is Aifferent in ‘The Vagabond Trail” which opened yesterday at the America theater» In this picture he is cast as an adventurer who finds adventure. He also runs across the only woman tn the world. Will Rogers is in one of funniest comedies in “The Cake Hater.” In this film the comedian is pestered to death by two old maids while his heart reaches out for a sweet young thing who knows the art of filrta- tion. el GLORIA SWANSON PUTS OVER NEW TRIUMPH IN “THE HUMMING BIRD” If there has ever been any doubt that Gloria Swanson possesses some thing more than a figure on which expensive clothes can be draped be comingly that doubt is dispelled with the arrival of ‘The Humming Bird,” undoubtedly the greatest character- ization that the actress has ever attempted. The picture opened yes- terday at the Rialto theater and will remain for three days longer. wpe Casper Daily Cribune SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1924, It fe for that time for it is a pieture the “quality of which is not often equalled. In “The Humming Bird” Gloria has a role that calls for talent of many different orders. One sees her first as a girl wha has a hobby of dressing in boy’s clotaes and mak- ing raids on the rich people of Paris. In this she heads a gang of half civilized Apaches known as the Wolves of Montmarte, Then again one sees her as the girl in whom there is the fire of passion, but who is sti!l a diamond in the rough and whose swagger would make any person solicitous of his refinement draw the cloak of civilization and culture aboyt him and retire into the distance. Love comes to the Humming Bird as she is known to the police or Toimette as she is known to her associates and with this love there is an awakening of her soul, Then there is the World War and Toinette is instrumental in sending the slacker Apaches to the front fighting among the bravest until all of them are wiped out—for France. The Humming Bird's real ident- ity as a girl and not a boy becomes known to the police and she is im- prisoned. Only one of the accidents of war permits her to obtain her temporary freedom. Her American, the man for whom Toinette wou! cast her life away is thought to be dying from a und received in battle. He recovers, armistice’is de clared. Toinette is pardoned because of her work during the conflict. She is no more Humming Bird. “The Humming Bird” brings back, memories of the war period.

Everyone NEW MUSICAL COMEDY PLAYING AT WYOMING “Topsy Turvy Honeymoon” opened yesterday at the Wyoming and proved to be a pleasing bill excel- lently demonstrating the ability of the Naughty Baby? Revue troupe. The plot deals with the desire of a rich American to have his daughter marry into the nobility. He in- trusts a friend with a large sum of money with which to obtain the Prospective groom, title and every- thing. The American gambling in- stinct gets the better of the man and the money is lost. He js then forced to some other method of obtaining a man with a title or one who can make the newly-rich friend believe he possesses a title.

In “Little Old New York,” adapt- ed from Rida Johnson Young's s' cessful play by Luther Reed, Miss Davies acts the role of Patricia O'Day, masquerading as her dead brother Pat, in order to inherit a fortune left by an unclesin New York.

After Indict- ments were returned the Millers to him, he said, and he advised them to contest'” the cases. Asked if he knew of the report of Cox and Rankin, two investigators who inquired into the case, the wit- ness replied: ' “Oh, no, I don’t think I ever met those men.” | One of the Millers, after the Hard- ing administration went in, he added, came to him with a view to getting Daugherty's attention at- tracted to the Cox and Rankin re- port. “I saw Attorney General Daugh- erty once or twice in 1921,'" McGraw said. “We discussed the Cox report and I asked him to go McGraw quoted Daugherty ving “I'm going to prosecute these cases; there is nothing else for me to do.” Daugherty told him, he said, that he was thinking of employing a “prominent Democratic lawyer,” in the case. McGraw recommended Judge Armstrong, of Oklahoma, but Daugherty selected Former United States Attorney Peck. The witness told of a conversation with Senator Harreld of Oklahoma whose attitnde toward the Millers was ‘‘very vicious,” he said. The senator told him he “didn’t want those boys to get away with all those oll lands down there,” McGraw said. The witness said had told Sena- tor Harreld there was ‘‘no oil on the lands,” and that later Harreld went with him to see Daugherty and with- draw any statement he had made to Daugherty indicating that the case America theater for Sunday and Monday.

He was defeated for re-election as na- tional committeeman by the late Jake Hamon. He said he had never “heard” stories of extraordinary ex- penditures by Hamon in the Harding campaign until they came up before senate investigating committees.

O. Wertz of the Natrona County Abstract & Loan company, made at the weekly lunch- eon of the Casper Real Estate board Friday to the effect that the county clerk’s office is 40 days behind in its transcribing work was emphat- leally denied by Alma. Hawley, coun- ty clerk, this morning. “We are transcribing on yester- day morning's work” said Miss Haw- ley in discussing the matter this morning, ‘and therefore we cannot be more than 24 hours behind. That is considerably different from the 40 day deficiency reported by Mr Wertz. “The photographic recording sys- tem advocated by Mr. Wertz for the county clerk's office would un- questionably be a time and money saver but I believe the machinery and plant should be purchased by the county. An operator could be employed for $150 per month and the county could reap the profit that otherwise would be made by a pri- vate individual.” Through some queer misrepresen- tation of facts a story has been in circulation the last few days that Mrs. Hawley made a net profit of $8,000 in 1923 above her salary as county clerk, The facts of the ¢ase are that Mrs. Hawley turned into the coun- ty treasury $8,000 net above the sal- aries of the employes in her office in 1923, Chiropractor In Hotel Building Announcement is made by R.
