TOMORROW NIGHTS FEAT.
URf FILM AT THE NIXON

FThe Regeneration, powerful,
magnificent perturbation of the dra-
matization of Owen Kildare's undying
romantic and tragic story, MY Mamie
Rose" featuring Rockliffe Fellows and
Anna Q. Nilsson will be the fea-
ture offering at the Nixon next We'd
nesday night
"The Regeneration" is a play of that
section of New York life that is not
generally known. 1t runs to the melo-
dramtaic in spots, but calls for strong
work on the part of every member in
the company. The play treats of a So
cial problem with caste as the key
note, and tends to show that it is
barely possible an raise man from the
slums. but that union between man
of the underworld and a woman of the
better class would tend to degrade him,
rather than elevate him.
No expense was spared to make the
Regeneration one of the strongest
pictures that has ever been filmed,
with scenes and settings on which no
cost was spared, with types from the
Bowery that Il took weeks and months
to secure, and in fact with everything
as nearly human as human ingenuity
can make this picture is an epoch In
the film world. There are scenes of
New York life that are too human and
to perfect to describe by words. The
part of Mamie Rose is taken by Anna
Nilsson, who for the past four years
has been considered one of the sweet
est and most charming actr esses of
the shadowy screen. Others who con-
tribute to the success of the cast are
Rockliffe Fellows, who became a star
on Broadway his first year in the the
atrical world; William Sheer, who has
made millions of friends on the screen
through his exceptionally fine charac-
ter work, and thousands of others who
go to make this great picture the sue
cess 1t is.
TIL story of 'The Regeneration" is
based on the life of owen Kildare, the
famous writer and so-called Bowery
Kipling, who gave to the world in his
book, MY Mamie Rose" a story that
was proclaimed a classic from the mo-
ment il made its public appearance.
Owen Kildare was born on the Bowery.
His carer was a varied one. He rose
rapidly to be a Bowery tough, bar
tender a saloon bouncer and a prize
fighter of no mean ability. He was
nearly thirty years old when he met
Marie Rose Deering, whom he later
imortalized in his famous book, my
Mamie Rose"

NEYtDA'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS

asked quite frequently of late a great

ties of Nevada have expended for the
support and maintenance of the public

of pupils enrolled in the public schools
of each county and at the University.
For the benefit of those interested in
the matter and the public generally,

expended for the public schools of
this amount 1892, ,924.0S was contrib
uted by the state and 1862, 2,361.50 by
the counties. The University, accord
ing to State Controller Coles report,
received from the state 1924, 1880 for
its support and maintenance, or a
grand total of nearly $4,000, for edu-
eational purposes in the state of Ne
vada.
The number of pupils enrolled, ac-
cording to official reports received,
was approximately 13,S47 in the public
schools and $40 in the state university,
and the amount of money contributed
by each county, independent of the
amount contributed by the state, and

tions are not footed, but an examina-
tion of them shows that in many cases
his figures are higher than those re-
turned by the state tax commission.

ter. Sitton s figures on this are from
$40 to $50 per acre.

alfalfa lands, Noteware places a valu-
alton of 500 per acre, to Sitton's 1925.
In the lower valley, the respective val
uations ore $40 and $75. In the other

UNIVERSITY INSPECTOR HERE
LOOKING OVER HIGH SCHOOL

Once year the state university
sends an inspector to each high school
in the state for the purpose of exam

This summary does not include the
interest paid on school bonds by tn
various counts, or interest on inter
est-bearing warrants, nor moneys ex-
pended for the library fund, insurance
on school buildings, or rents paid for
school houses not owned by the eoun-
ties, as these statistics have not been
secured. The latter expenditures would
amount to a good many thousands of
dollars and are considered proper
