BAGLEY PUBLICITY MEET
WAS SPLENDID SUCCESS
Market Day Drew Large Crowd and the Speakers at the
Meeting We're Given Very Cordial Recep.
tion-..Bagley Did Well.

Bagley, May 25.-(Special to
Pioneer. - Saturday was market
day and publicity day in Bagley,
and the village and county turned
out splendid crowd of enthusiastic
farmers and business men to attend
the publicity meeting and participate
in the market day sales and good
time provided in this village under
the auspices of the Bagley CONNER
cial club.
When the proposed publicity
meeting was suggested by c. ].
Pryor of Bemidji, member of the
Federation of Commercial Clubs for
the Ninth district, it was decided to
hold market day the same day as
the publicity meeting, in order to
draw as large crowd as possible to
q E - +
the village on that occasion.
It was the intention of the resi-
dents of Bagley to demonstrate to
the visitors from St. Paul who were
to address the gathering at the
publicity meeting that Clearwater
county was in the front rank of the
agricultural counties of the state;
and Saturdays crowds of prosperous
farmers and business men attested
to the full worth of our community.
The farmers and their families
began arriving in the village early in
the forenoon, and by 10 o'clock the
streets were filled with visitors.
The Bagley band enlivened the
occasion by appearing on the streets
and discoursing some good music,
under the able leadership of H. M.
Day.
The publicity and boost meet
ing was held in the hall, and the
place was filled by farmers and bust
ness men, as well as many ladies.
A. Kaiser, president of the Bag
ley Commercial Club, and who did
much for the success of the meeting,
presided at the meeting, and intro
duced the first two speakers, being
later called away on business, when
Oscar Stinvick presided.
The speakers of the afternoon
were w. r. Ingram, who is an official
of the South St. Paul stock yards;
George WEIGH, state immigration
commissioner; A. J. Mcclure, super
intendent of the Northeast Expert
mental Farm; D. M. Neill of
Red Wing, president of the State
Federation of Commercial Clubs,
and Curtis L. Mosher, secretary of
the Federation.
All of the gentlemen delivered
fine addresses, and were given the
very closest attention.

space to do full justice to the Grafton,

address.

It's farewell week the Empire
stock company will present For
Woman's Honor" with Miss Snowie
Maybelle, recovered from her recent
illness, Al Franks and Frank Morton
in the cast. After next week the En-
pire will be devoted exclusively to vau-
deville, a more extensive bill than that
which has heretofore been presented
taking the place of the comedy COM
pany's Offering
= FISCHER'S-"The Gibson Girl" at
Fischer's this week will serve to rein
troduce TO local theater-gooers Max
Bloom, who as q member of the Muir
ray and Mack company at the Grand
year ago made many friends. Mr..
Bloom will be the Dutch comedian
with Herr Fischer's forces, and with
Ben T. Dillon as the lrishman fun
should be looking up" Dillon and
Bloom have ample opportunities for
laugh creation in the new bill. The
playlet is by Matthew OFT and its plot
turns about numerous cases of mis-
taken identity. Dillon is Mr.. Gibson,
returning to his home after an alb
sence of many years, to find his baby
daughter a young woman. Prior to his
arrival Bloom, cast as detective, has
been summoned to investigate the rob-
berry of the house and Is upon his ar
rival mistaken for Gibson by the young
woman. Subsequently Gibson arrives,
finds the detective in feminine attire
pending the mending of damaged trous-
ers, and mistakes the detective for his
daughter Miss Nellie Montgomery Is
the daughter; Laurel Atkins, Gibson's
wife; Marguerite Favar, a pert little
serving maid; Fred Lancaster, the Glib
son girls sweetheart and Max Asher
has character hit. There are numerous
musical interpretations and several elab-
orately costumed chorus numbers.
UNIQUE-A musical comedy. entitled
''The Persian Cat" by F. Clifford Har-
ris, the new director, will be presented
at the Unique this week. Mr.. Harris
will be assisted by James P. Lee, who
will collaborate with him in future pro-
ductions at this playhouse The sketch
has an oriental background and Is said
to be replete with catchy music and
wholesome comedy. Among the musical
numbers are my Six Little Wives" to
be sung by Hugh Metcalf; ''Tipperary,"
by Billy Onslow; 1.-THE KISS" by Maude
Beatty; "I Don't Like the Searchlight,"
by Olga Stech; "Diana," by Millar
Bacon, and "How Would You Like to
Take Honeymoon with Me?" by Miss
Stech. This latter song is one of Mr..
Clifford's compositions. Among the
chorus numbers are THE Lotus and
"The Cat Came Back"
In consolidating the two stock COM
panies the Unique management has re-
tained the favorites of both aggrega-
tions and also has enlarged the chorus.
i Mr. Harris has achieved a wide repu-
tation as q writer of popular lyrics,
and James P. Lee is already favorably
known as a producer. The combina-
tion, therefore, shou-I II owe happy one.

will be considerably strengthened.
At the Empire announcement is made
that the stock company will be dis
banded next week and that the pro-
gram hereafter will be made up ex-
clusively of vaudeville acts, with a
liberal assortment of moving pictures.
1t is rumored that the theater will ul-
timately be turned into picture house
exclusively, but this the management
denies.
Charles Ruggles of the Belasco com

Las Sunday Mr.. Ruggles was the guest
of Lewis S. Stone of the Auditorium on
an auto run to Laguna Beach. Four
autos made the trip, Mr.. Stone driving
his own car. the Patsy, with Mr.. Rug
giles as ballast.
Arrived at their destination, they
drove to the edge of cliff, arriving
! Just in time for Mr.. Ruggles to break

to look seaward just in time to see a
little girl who was wading in the surf
carried off her feet by big breaker.
The child screamed, and Ruggles
jumped. He rolled, fell and tumbled
down that cliff in a way that would
have made a moving picture photog-
rapher turn green with envy, but he
arrived in time.

About a year ago in these columns I
predicted that the moving picture
show would soon enter into direct
competition with the cheaper forms of
theatrical entertainer :. and expressed
the opinion that one of two things was
pretty certain to happen, either that
the proprietors of smaller houses would
be compelled to raise their standards
/ or go out of business.
At the time this view of the matter
was regarded as extreme and vision
ary. Today the managers most directly
affected admit it's accuracy. Attend
ance at the smaller theaters has been
falling off steadily for several months
past yet the explanation of "hard
1 times" cannot be accepted since statis-
/ ties, easily available. prove that more
money is being spent in Los Angeles
today for cheap amusement than at
any previous time the citys history.
| These same statistics show that very
! considerable sum of the total is being
paid into the Golfers of 'nickelodeons"
and 10-cent picture houses, the num-
| ber of which is constantly increasing.
At Fischer's theatcr the patronage
| has fallen off to such an extent that
radical measures have become neces-
sary. For several months past Mr..
! Fischer has been looking for a new
| location, a location that would give
him more stage room and permit a
more pretentious class Of entertain
ment than can be staged in the First
street house. This quest, so far, has
! been unsuccessful. Herr Fischer, how
! ever, has set about reorganizing his
company with the idea of offering his
patrons the very best shows possible
! with facilities at hand. Tomorrow Max
Bloom will join the Fischer forces as
Dutch comedian. Next week Miss
| Marie Roslyn will make her local debut
as leading woman of the company, and
! T. Edward Pierce as leading man.
I other changes may be made later.
The Unique, which is probably the
most strongly entrenched of the minor
| theaters also has felt the effects of
moving picture competition and like
wise is taking steps to improve its at
fractions. Beginning tomorrow the
two companies engaged at this house
will be consolidated into one big
musical comedy organization, under
the joint direction of F. Clifford Har-
ris and James p. Lee. The favorites of
both companies will be retained and it
! is announced that the chorus, which

undertow and Ruggles' arrival, un-
heroic as was his appearance, doubtless
saved her life. She was over her depth
when he reached her and had swallowed
considerable water.
The girls name was Millie Smith.
She was bundled into the auto, wrapped
in a lap robe and whisked away to her
home, where she was soon made com
Portable. Ruggles, however, was not
so fortunate. He didn't have a dry
stitch of clothing on him and couldn't
get any, so that the trip back to Los
Angeless was by no means a pleasant
one.

romance seems to be coming into ia

at the present time James K. Hackett
is portraying the part of Rudolf Ras-
sendyll, the role that will be played
by Mr.. Stone at the Auditorium. The
favor that has been accorded to THE

romance has lost none of its charm
and fascination for theater patrons.
It is perhaps the best specimen of
stage romanticism that has been Of

love story is an enhancing one and
there is enough action in the piece to
supply three or four dramas.
