SALT LAKE GROCER
ROBBED BY TWO MEN

Salt Lake, Jan. 30.-Jerking the
telephone from the counter just as
they entered the store, two wei
dressed young men with white hand
kerchiefs over their eyes covered
j. w. Simon and his delivery boy
with revolvers in the Simon grocery
at 432 South Ninth East street on
Saturday night and commanded them
to throw up their hands. While one
Of the robbers held the grocer and
his employee against wall with
their hands in the air, the other walk
ed behind the counter and took 500
from the cash register.
The men, according to simon
made no attempt to take his watch
or several dollars he had in his pock-
cts. After the money was taken
from the register the grocer and his
delivery boy were told to stand
against the wall at the rear OF the
store and stay there. The robbers
placed their guns in their overcoat
rockets and left by the front door.
simons told the police both men
were we'll dressed and did not ap'
pear to be more than twenty years
old. Both wore black hats and gray
overcoats.
Owing to the fact that the tele'
phone wires were cut 1t was several
minutes before the alarm was given
the police. George Chase, captain OF
detectives, and F. d. Huntsman and
o. p. Pratt, patrolmen, went to the
scene, but were unable to find any
trace of the robbers.

Mr.. CREX Of
MONTE CARLO
At THE LYRIC

Theodore Roberts, the distinguish
ed star, will be seen at the Lyric on
Wednesday and Thursday in the
photodramatic version by Jesse l..
Lasky Of E. Phillips Oppenheim's
thrilling novel, Mister Grex OF Monte
Carlo, which recently appeared in
serial form in the Saturday Evening
Post and is now one of the most
widely discussed books of the day. 1t
is a Paramount Picture.
Mr.. Oppenheim is said to have
written this story nearly two years
ago while on visit to Monte Carlo.
There he saw, and recognized, three
of Europe's greatest diplomats, all,
apparently, upon pleasure bent, but
meeting in secluded parts to discuss
international relations. Taking this
as theme for his story and involv-
ing an impetuous young American
millionaire on Yachting cruise, he
constructed his wonderful unconsci-
Gus prophesy of the present European
conditions.
A young American falls headlong
in love with the daughter Of one of
the diplomats, posing as Mister Grex
and is greatly chagrined, but not I'M
daunted, when he learns that she is
the Grand Duchess Fedora. His I'M
conscious and unintentional interior
ence In the plans Of the statesmen,
stamps him as spy and he is or
dered removed. How he causes con.
fusion in the worlds greatest diplo-
matte circles and wins the hand of
the Grand Duches, make many grip

The Lasky Company has given
Mister Grex Of Monte Carlo, a pro-
iuction OF its usual lavishness and
fidelity to detail.
The scenes in the Casino at Mon
lie Carlo were taken in a set which
was an exact replica Of the great
gambling salon at Monte Carlo This
scene is said by authorities to be
absolutely correct.

that you are not likely to forget it

Red-blooded men with real tobacco

The limit of luxury in tobacco chew

No other chewing tobacco is so mel

Spear Head is made of the worlds
best tobacco leaf-the choicest of red
Kentucky Burley. This leaf is selected
for its full, juicy richness with the
most painstaking care, is stemmed by
hand, is pressed into Spear Head plugs

SUNDAY FACE.

(By Mary o. Carey, Talent, Ore.)
I told my friend the other day
I was invited out.
she said, "Put on your Sunday fac
And mind what you're about"
These few words put me thinking,
AS words so often do.
I said, "Put on my Sunday face
How often that is true,
We go about with face demure,
We hate our daily task;
We see no joy in all we have,
No blessings give or ask.
But rather murmur and complain,
The world serves wrong;
No smile have we for any one,
We join no happy song.
But when we go in company
We wear a different face.
We smile and laugh, somehow,
But it is just Sunday face.
Few guess the feelings hidden
Beneath that company smile,
Or know of anger hate and pride,
They are hiding all the while.
Now, friend, just turn the tables
And wear that smiling face
At home, among your loved ones.
1t will fill a nobler place.
