MANAGER OASTLER PROUD
OF EDUCATIONAL PICTURES

Manager Oastler. of the American
theatre, justly takes credit to himself
for doing a good and wise thing in
presenting at his showhouse the
many fine educational pictures he
exhibits. A picture show can hardly
help being a liberal education in the
long run. where such photographs are
presented. There are several of the
best series running every week at the
American. Tomorrow night it will be
one of the splendid Burton Holmes
"Travelogues," this time "Old Ire
land" One may get a considerable
idea of the scenery, towns and people
of a country from even one of these
Borton Holmes productions.

request of Billy Wilson. who had
come in to the place from the mine in
an excited state and claimed that ne

HOUSE OF GLASS;
TOMORROW NIGHT

Cohan & Harris production of Max
Marcin's powerful drama, "The House
of Glass" which comes to the Nixon
opera house tomorrow evening, un-
questionably owes much of its sue
cess to the finished acting of the
well balanced cast engaged in visual
izing its several roles.
That "The House of Glass" is one
of the biggest plays seen on the New
York stage in years is but to voice
the opinion of every one who sees it.
The story il tells is so genuine, so
human, so perfectly natural, that it
might be page torn from real life
1t has to do with Margaret Case, n
poor stenographer, about to marry a
young man who turns out to be n
thief. The girl is arrested as an ac-
complice; convicted, she serves one
and half years of her three-year
term, is released on parole, which she
breaks; she goes West and is married
to a railroad president Her nemesis
is an insistent detective who secured
the original conviction. Through the
detective the husband learns that his
wife is an ex-convict.
THE House of Glass" is an impress
sive, gripping play that runs
the gamut of human emotion. Max
MARGIN. its author, is also the author
of See My Lawyer" and several
other pieces of dramatic literature
He is also a successful writer of
short stories. One of the first of
these, "The Practitioner" he peddled
about for weeks before some reader"
recognized in it signs of talent. Now
he has the publisher and theatrical
manager in pursuit of him.
This will be the first road show to
visit Winnemueea for several months.
The advance sale at Krenkel & Bosch's
has been fair and indications are that
there will be a good house.

Assemblyman Williams gambling

OF the most stringent anti-gambling
measures introduced in the State
Legislature and is declared by it's
author to absolutely prohibit every
form of gambling. 1t is identical
with the initiative petition that failed
to receive consideration at the hands
OF the Legislature and also to be af-
forded a place on the referendum

number of signatures.
