The Garrick's bill the first half of
the week, Douglas Fairbanks in
Reaching For the Moon" provides
an interesting hours entertainment.
Douglas is the same old impulsive
and active worker as in other days,
and his enthusiasm for a fray is
given full sway when he becomes
king of Vulgaria, only to find that
the pretender to the crown Is willing
to resort to violence to carry the day.
There's a good story in Reaching
For the Moon" and Fairbanks does
it justice.
"The Story of Ybarra," the sec
ond episode in The Fighting Trail
comes to the Princess Wednesday
and Thursday. William Duncan and
Carol Holloway are featured in the
picture.
Won Bfeck's band of hired cut
threats make a night attack on the
Ybarra cabin. Gwyn rescues Nan,
Ybarra's daughter, from their vicious
clutches. Ybarra refuses to divulge
the route to the mine, and is shot
in cold blood.
But the providers tear half a chart
holding the secret of the mine from
the stiffening hands of Don Carlos.
Which half is the one revealing
the mines location?
That is the question uppermost in
the minds of all as the assassins
make their escape into the night.
Mischa Elman, violinist, who viii

Though Mischa Elman has been
absent from his native land for a
number of years, he has retained the
strong feeling for 1t which is so
characteristic of the young people
Of his origin. 1t is therefore but

are interested in the advancement Of
Russian art. He feels that The young
talents of the new Russia will no

their energies in the western world
but will find at home not only the
opportunities for their artistic
development, but also the serious

ct is a we'll known fact says Mr..
Elman, that great art can only

personality and fees from those
countries where this impulse is con-
