far, the noted prima donna of the
metropolitan opera house, appears in
the title role, has announced to the
surprise of the entire motion picture
industry, the members of the cast
which Will appear in the principal

time, announces the names of the
players.
No less than five of the players in

DETECTIVE STORY
ON SCREEN AT THE
ISIS TODAY ONLY

The Essanay five-act detective fea-
ture. THE Alster Case" is today's at
traction at the Isis theater. Bryant
Washburn has the principal role.
Tomorrow. Tuesday and Wednes-
day Vivian Martin will be seen in the
Morosco film, Her Fathers Son. di-
rected by William Taylor. A New
York critic has the following to say
about this feature:
Her Fathers Son" through it's
wholesomeness, the striking beauty of
it's settings and the remarkable light
ing and photography, the daintiness of
the star and some splendid perform
ances by members of the supporting
cast, makes itself welcome. The tired
business man and The confirmed pic
ture- goer will like the offering, not for
any depths it's story is possessed of,
but for the appeal it makes to the eye.
Vivian Martin masquerades as a
boy a good part of the time and she
makes an engaging picture all by her
self in clothes that serve a better pur-
pose in delighting the spectator than
deceiving either onlooker or characters
in the play. She is daintier than ever,
and, too, she does some good acting
upon occasions in Her Fathers Son.
THE story is a comedy laid in Vir-
ginia. The play opens just previous
to the civil war, and some war scenes
as well as that familiar situation
showing a reception in full swing sud-
denly halted and disrupted by a mes
sage announcing that Virginia has Sc
coded from the Union account for some
exciting moments. Even in his flashes

l am also frequently asked. How
many scenes are there in a motion pic

easily answered as the query of the
number of turnips in a barrel II de-
ponds on the size of the turnips. So
do the number of scenes in a picture
play depend on the length or size of the
scenes. The commercial length of a
film is given at 1000 feet but there may
be so or 200 scenes in this length. pro-

There were some in attendance at
the night show who enjoyed all the
advantages of its features, i. e., the
fireworks, without our being the gain
er. Sixth street and the section line
on the west of the fair grounds were
lined with automobiles. And it is
proof positive to me that when a man

any former year. The sworn state
men published before the meeting of
the Board Of County Commissioners in
October is approximately right,
though after an audit of the books we
find that some items should be chang
ed.
In the matter of advertising where
the amount in the statement is 1913, it
should be 1882. The difference being
contained in bills receivable. The
amusement percentage should be 1928
instead of 1898. And by the way let
me say that the percentage received
from the four independent shows on
the grounds this year was $500 more
than the percentage received last year
from the Carnival company.
In the matter of premiums paid, the
published statement gave them as
$1,525, when that should be SLIPS.
This discrepancy is accounted for by
the fact that the full list of premium
winners was not completed at the time
the statement was made, September
26th.
The fair today has an outstanding in
debtedness of $500, a floating debt
covered by a note to the First Ma
tional Bank of 1860 and an over

$1,000, we have coming to us from the
county seventy-ive percent of prem
iums paid or as the law says, not to
exceed 81 900. And to cover the over
draft and also of unpaid bills which
amounts to about $500, we have stock
