Onless otherwise indicated, theatrical e written by the press agencles for th | gg - JOHN GILBERT AT CAPITOL. A photoplay well worth seeing— that's '‘welve Miles Out,” the pho- toplay attraction at the Capitol to-! day and Tuesday only, and with popular John Gilbert in the star role. In “Twelve Miles Out” one will find a dramatic story that is much to everyone's liking. It is a thrilling, romantic drama of the seas, a tale of rum runners, hijack- ers, and a conquest for pretty wom- en. Ernest Torrence and Joan Craw- ford have supporting roles to John Gilbert, all of whom are absolutely wonderful in this picture. This week the Capitol program changes on Wednesday and the show will also run on Thursday and ¥ day. Beginning this Wednesday a double feature program will be of- fered with the main attraction being “The Great Deception,” a mighty | drama of the secret service, Clara Bow starring in “The Prim- rose Path,” shown for the first time | Jast night to a satieficd _audience with the other feature, “The Swell Had,” turn out a \ vy well balanced program. “The Irimrose Path,” a very tense and sturdy drama, shows how a young man stole diamonds in order to pay the great debt he piled upon himself gambling. Forced to steal he gets himself with a gang of professional thieves who kill a mem- | her of the gang, putting the blame on the innocent young man. Right here Clara Bow steps in the path of all things, portraying the part of a vivacious young lady who steals her | way into this young man's heart, making all dark things look light. PRESENTS PLANTO AID AGRICULTURE Co-operative Units, Creation of Federal Loan Suggested TME LY M. | | Washington, August 15 (#-—F tensive organization of co-operative units @ ong American farmers, cre- ation of deral farm board and establishment of a fund to a: carrying surplus crops from s to season is viewed by Secretary Jardine as the most effective means of improving the troubled agricul- | tural situation. | This plan was outlined by the sec- | retary in an article written for the current issue of the Farm Journal, | a Philadelphia publication. Two avenucs of approach were seen—control of surpluses due prin- cipally to weather conditions and a | better adjustment of production to the requirements of the market. In handling surpluses, Mr. Jardine said, much coull be accomplished | through - “commodity stabilization” corporations operated by the farm- ers, the essential function of which would be to take off the market temporarily such amounts of a com- modity as would. prevent the price from falling to a ruinously low lev el.

AT THE STRAND One of the most extraordinary at- tractions ever brought to this city opened this afternoon at the Strand theater when Paskman's Radio Min- strels scored a solid hit with the eager throngs who packed the spa- cious playhouse. The Radio M strels will be presented again night, Tuesday and Wednesday conjunction with Jack Mulhall “Smile, Brother, Smile, as .he screen feature. The Radio Minstrels who are popular favorites with ra- dio fans who have enjoyed their broadcasting from station WGBS, New York, are even better on the stage, Among the celebrities with the minstrels are the famous Nate Busby, conceded one of the fore- most minstrel men of the American stage. The Radio Minstrels present an hour of solid entertainment. SOUTH DAKOTA T0 SOUND SMITH BOOM to- in | Convention Chairman Is McAdoo Supporter Rapid City, § D., Aug. 15 (UP)— Democrats of this state are so wor- ried about what is going to be done about the presidential boom for Governor Al Smith of New York that they are going to get together |in September to talk over the mat- |ter and attempt to determine where {their 10 votes will go in the next G mor‘rauc national convention. W. Bilger, chairman of demo- cratic state committee, told the United Press today that he had fs- sined a call for a democratic pow- wow at that time. He has invited every county chairman in the state and the entire state central com- mittee—64 in all. Bilger, who is considered an anti- Smith and pro-McAdoo man because he held this state delegation for G. McAdoo in the battle against Smith at the last Madison Square Garden convention, says the meeting will merely discuss pros- peets of democratic action. However, democrats here have never before gotten together in such a meeting prior to the regular dem- state .convention which is called to select candidates for pro- ] men at the peculiar primary hold here. The convention to elect proposal men will he held in February and the primary will be held in May fo choose national con- vention delegates. The real purpose of summoning an early unofficial convention is to decide what will be done about the Smith movement; to determine how democratic leaders throughout the tate feel toward Smith. There has been much Smith talk out here. Tn 1924 South Dukota lwent for McAdoo and stuck to him to the last. North Dakota, which has much the same ideas regarding politics, gave Smith six votes, Tt is understood that Smith states recently, sounding out sentiment among dem- ocrats and making all possible ar- rangements to swing the state to their candidate at the next conven- | tion.. There 13 no idea of swinging the state to MeAdoo again, it is sald, but some leaders are reluctant go to Smith and they want to fight |out the question among themselves before the convention or primary.
