BAND BENEFIT AT IRENE.
Noted Film viii BE Shown Tomorrow
Night for Benefit of Band.

Marguerite clark, the adorable,
scores another decided screen success
in the Famous Players Film company's
feature film version of Daniel Froh-
mans famous New York Lyceum
theatre success, Seven Sisters"
adapted for the American stage by
Edith Ellis Furness, and the latest
release on the Paramount program.
The play is based on the Hungarian
system of marriage, where matrimon-
ia, conventions inexorably consign TO
helpless spinsterhood a girl whose
younger sister marries before her.
Under the circumstances, therefore,
seven daughters may be considered
very well-disguised blessing, particu-
larly when the middle one is such a
hoyden that she places her sisters
romantic chances in further jeopardy
by being expelled from the convent
school. That is what the naughty
Mici, portrayed by Marguerite Clark,
does in the play. She escapes from
the school and attends masked ball,
where she meets Count Feri Horkoy.
On her return she Is caught and dis
missed and sent home. This starts all
the trouble for the widowed mother
OF the seven sisters, who on seeing
Mici return in a beautiful dress, rea-
Lies that unless she Is placed In the
background her elder sisters would
never have the chance to marry. The
stern mother promptly shortens her
dress, lets down her hair and bids
her abandon all hopes Of lover until
her older sisters have all been dispos-
ed OF. Thereupon the rebellious Mici
Horkoy (who is, by the way, very
much surprised to see her In children's
dress) to provide husbands for her
senior sisters at the earliest possible
moment, promising him kiss with
| each betrothal. From this moment
on the complications grow thick and
fast, none Of the girls liking the suitors
that have been chosen for them. The
girls in each case admire brass but
tons, are duly susceptible to the
| thui VI NlbOI anu ihuc-
culinity, and equally anxious to make
as good match as possible; but they
are apparently Indifferent as to the
means by which the desirable end is
accomplished. AS result we find the
J oldest sister voluntarily engaging In
most unmaidenly deception to bring
ffeoet a proposal. The fact that she
glyn thereby the hand OF the uncle
rather than that OF the nephew FOL
whom her mother has been angling
Dies not appear to matter at all. The
necessary husbands are finally Sc
cured and Mici, in her turn weds the
young lieutenant for whom she has
been angling all the time.
Seven Sisters" is a novel farce
and as Mici Miss Clark is wholly cap
tivating. II has been well described
as charming comedy Of romantic
youth. This delightful feature will
be shown at the Irene theatre, Bant
Benefit, Friday night.

in operation by that time. Otherwise
the note and mortgage are to become
void. The mortgage reads as follows:

G. 0. p. CONVENTION TO
BE NOISY AND EXCITING
More Than 100 Bands and 80 Glee and
Marching Clubs Will Be on Hand.


Indications are that the Republican
national convention of 1916 will be
one of the noisiest and most exciting
of the party.
With 16 candidates for president in
the field, and with the result in doubt
until the last ballot has been taken,
there is likely to be an unusual
amount of noise and enthusiasm for
every day the convention is in ses-
sion.
Fred w. Upham. chairman of the
local committee on arrangements,
was informed Monday that plans have
been made to bring more than 100
bands and so glee and marching clubs
to Chicago during convention week.
Every state which has a favorite son
candidate for president will bring
from five to 10 bands with innumerable
marching and glee clubs.
The demand for convention tickets
continues to increase. Season tickets
for the convention are quoted at $3.50
each.
Sergeant-at-arms william F. Stone
Monday began the appointment OF his
1900 assistants. He has received 5000
applications for the positions.

Another loan made by the state
land board similar to the one which
led to the undoing OF former State
Treasurer Allen, is being widely dis
cussed.
Auditor Huston, 1t is claimed, was
the beneficiary of the last loan. and
that the money secured was used to
redeem the land from a tax deed sale.
The applications for the loans, II is
said, were never filed with the regis
trar OF the state land board, but we're
drawn from the pocket of State Auditor
Huston, presented, and with little dis
cussion, the loans were ordered grant
ed on motion OF Governor Alexander.
There were present Governor Alexan-
der, Auditor Huston and Secretary
Barker; absent, Attorney General
Peterson and Miss Mccoy.
The facts concerning the loans be-
gan to be whispered, recently, but the
first general knowledge OF them was
impaired in an open letter from Cap
tain e. @. Davis to Governor Alcxan-
der, published In the Idaho Daily
Statesman, May 10Th. the essential part
Of which is given below:
