coin j. Carter's melodrama, Bedford's
Hope dramatic matters in the lower
part OF the town are decidedly looking
up. For in winter it's a very long time
since either of the big theatrical cross
streets, or for that matter Broadway
itself, has seen as sensational a hit as
'Bedford's Hope has scored by its one
big scene. ,
This thrilling race between an eX-
press train and an automobile across
the bad lands of Montana, carries one
back to the old days when the -Four
zenith Street used to be the original
mandatory of all sorts of climactic
sensations of this sort. But in all its
long career of thrills. the Fourteenth
Street has never sheltered so thrilling
a thrill as this one. 1t knocks all the
other race scenes into q cooked hat, ut
the same moment it gives spasms to
all their s%prockets and punctures all
their tires. 1t will be initiated, of
course, but it's mechanism is so in
genious and the effect of the race so
intensely exciting that for once Broad
way theatregoers will have to emigrate
and go down to Fourteenth Street to
see the real thing"
There will be no Wednesday matinee
at the Columbia, owing to 1t being Ash
Wednesday, so a special matinee win
be given instead on Thursday.

THE NEWARK THEATRES
EXCELLENT MUSICAL OFFERING.

On Monday evening the Newark

tant musical offering of recent produce

Tin Woodman of THE Wizard of o."
will give for the first time here 1.-THE
Red Mill" the musical comedy by

cess for a year in New York and has
since scored for over three months each
in Chicago and Boston and for two
months in Philadelphia. The production
is sponsored by Charles Dillingham;,
who is known as the manager of such
excellent stage offerings as FRITZ

1.-The Hoyden," Frank Daniels in 1.-THE
Tattooed Man" and numerous other at
fractions of the first class.
In fitting Montgomery and Stone with
their roles in 1.-THE Red Milr' Henry
Blossom, the author, has taken into
careful consideration their diverse and
peculiar stage personalities. Following
his plan in mile. Modesto" of which he
was also the author, he a gone
abroad for his stage pictures. 1t is Hol-
land, the picturesque place along the
dikes, that he uses as a background
for the stage settings of his latest eff
fort. The first scene shows the red
mill of the tale at the edge of the Hol-
land village at Katwyk-aan-Zee. The
second scene shows the home of a we'll
TODD Dutch burgomaster, All the
people of the play are Hollanders, save
the characters i-mpersonated by Mont
gomery and Stone-the girls all short
frocked fraus or frauleins and the lads
all youths of blouses, knickerbockers
and buckle shoes.
Montgomery and Stone appear as two
young New Workers, stranded in the
Iowlands. They run counter to a Kat
wyk-aan-Zee romance, and proceed
therein at once to take a pertinent part.
From this adventure follow others that
make I'D the main comic fabric of the
piece. The supporting company is said

which appeared in New York. In full,
it is as follows: Allene Crater. Ethel

School football team used six second
team-men and lined up on the local
gridiron Saturday afternoon against
the Hibbing Highs and defeated
them by a score of 10 to 5.
It rained all day Saturday and the
field was in a slippery condition but
the game was pulled off in spite of
the weather and proved to be hard
fought battle, neither team being
able to kick goal when they had the
chance. Fullback Jerome Meyers
had his nose broken early in the
first half but pluckily stuck through
out the game.

VOTERS CHANGING THEIR

If Voter Changes Residence Within
Thirty Days Of Election He :
Can't Vote.

Moorhead Daily News: A ques-
ton which has very frequently been
discussed and ruled upon with much
laxity by election judges has been
settled as far as the attorney gen.
erals office is concerned, in a letter
written by Special Assistant C..
Louis Weeks to D. w. Nfeeker. The
letter follows:
Dear Sir: We are in receipt of
yours of the 9th inst, in which you
ask for the opinion of this office on
the hereinafter stated question. You
ask If voter moves from from one
ward to another, or from one voting
precinct within the county to
another, within thirty days of elec-
ton, where does he vote?"
In answer to this question I beg
to advise you that where a person
moves from one election district to
another within thirty days of an
election, he is not entitled to vote
in either election district. He loses
his right to vote in the district from
which he has moved by reason of
fact of his ceasing to be a resident
of that district, and he cannot vote
in the district to which he has
moved for the reason that he will
not have been a resident thereof
thirty days preceding the election.
as required by the state constitution.
(See Article VII, Section 1, consti-
tution.) An election district, with
in the meaning of the constitution,
is what is quite frequently spoken
of as precinct meaning thereby

electors. vote at a given place and

officials.
