This is the first time that the beautiful silver trophy has come west. A picture starring Roscoe Ar- buckle scheduled for Round-up week at Idaho Falls has been cancelled by the biggest theatre in that city, which says no film of Arbuckle’s will ever be shown there again. The cause of the cancellation is due to the recent murder scandal in which Ar- buckle is the main figure.
