NUGGET COMMENTS ON
 THE NEW CURRENCY

Three of the new dimes came to Nome in the last mail addressed to Buster Brown, the son of Mir and Mrs. w. H. Brown. They were sent by Busters grandmother who got them bright and shiny from the San Francisco mint. This coin is the same weight as the ordinary dime but very different in appearance. The ob- verse side has the conventional head but the reverse side is puzzle to enc not in the confidence of the de- signer. It may be taken for water hydrant, a barber pole. bundle of faggots or a package of licorice sticks The cylinder of whatever it is rests sternly upright and clinging vine or palm drapes about it. A curious fact connected with the new dime is that it was hardly issued from the mint before it was recalled. The reason for the recall was that the designer had put his initial "W" on the coin. Apparently the government does nor intend to advertise the creator of this doubtful art curio.-Nome Nugget.

"Out of the Wreck. !"

An interesting story is-told in"Out
of the Wreck" which comes to the
Grand Monday. The scenario is said
to be based on an actual happening.
1t may well have been. The action
rings true more than generally speak
ing.
Kathlyn Williams plays the role of
Agnes Aldrich, the wife of a success
full politician, candidate for the SEN
ate. In the search for vulnerable
point of attack on his candidacy, it is
discovered his wife has past. Her
frank revelation of her early sorrows
provides genuine dramatic material.
She is at all times the center of IN
terest and of sympathy. Miss Viii
liams feelingly portrays the woman
against whom luck seemed always to
turn early in life.
The production is lavish in its stag
ing. It contains striking contrasts
Of high and low life, and has running
through it vein of strong human in
terest.

ssHis Fathers Son.

The theme of this play, IN when
Lionel Barrymore will be seen at 1iie
Grand Theatre Sunday, is interviewer
with love and romance, humor ana
pathos in such manner that II MAKES
an altogether likable and interesting
picture.
Caring more for pleasure ana pok-
or than for his studies, Dabney Bar
ron proves a failure at college ana IS
expelled. His father in disgust de-
prives him of his allowance and tells
him to find employment, betting MN
$4,000 that he cannot hold a sou JOB
for a month. Dabney takes MN up
and determines to win the wager
After many failures he finally Sc
cures work through his friend, JIM
Foley. a detective. John Arden, q
gem collector, has priceless emerald G.
called "The Lady from the Sea, .
Fearing it might be stolen, ne senos
for a detective to guard his jewels
Dabneysis detailed for this purpose,
and poses as butler IN the Arden
home. Lord Lawrence, better known
as London Larry is visiting Arden
| with the object Of stealing the eiher-
aid.
At the Arden home, Dabney meets
Betty and recognizes her as girl ne
had known previously. In an attempt
to retain her respect he tells her a
wonderful tale of lost fortune and
kidnapped sister, for whom he pre-
tends to be searching. Betty slmu-
lates belief in the story and promises
to help him. At last the month is up,
and Dabney is happy over the thought
of winning the bet. Arden discovers
him making love to Betty and dis
charges him. That night as he is
about to leave, he surprises Larry IN
the act of opening the safe where the
| Jewels are stored. Oyerpowering the
thief, Dabney puts him in the safe
Arden, hearing the noise, comes down
and liberates Lord Lawrence, who
tells him that Dabney is the guilty
one. When Foley arrives he ldent1'
fies Dabney and arrests lord Larry
Dabney not only wins the bet, but al
so the girl he loves.

e.Sapho.' =

The outstanding factor in the Fa-
nous Players adaptation Of ''sapho,"
which will be the Wednesday offering
at the Grand, is the individual work
of Pauline Frederick in the name role.
Her Interpretation Of the famous
heroine of Alphonse Daudet's classic
is thing Of life. She has the fire,
the abandon, the coquettish art of the
young Frenchwoman who finds life
pleasant, who makes what she believes
to be love consecutively to the sculp-
tor, the poet and the young man about
town. And she possesses the depth
of feeling to reveal the soul of the wo-
man who comes in contact with the
one man who in her world towers
above all others, for whom she casts
aside the luxuries bestowed by former
favored suitors and elects to share
with him cottage in the country.
The production is splendidly staged.
The director has been at pains to
bring out the lighter side of the
drama, to leave covered as much as
may be of the sortlid side; but he has
banked strong on the dramatic situa-
tions Of the denouement. 1t is all
well done.

"The Courage of Silence.

The Friday attraction at the Grand
will be "The Courage of Silence fea-
turing Alice Joyce and Harry T..
Morey. An American business man,
married to beautiful woman and the
father of two fine youngsters, goes
over to London, and while there meets
the wife of the Spanish ambassador.
She is unhappily married and is at
traeted by the American. In mo-
ment of passion they imagine they
have fallen in love with each other.
The American returns home, decides
he cannot live without the other wo-
mar1deserts his wife and elopes with
thdukair spaniard. When the latter
learns the truth about the Americans
family affairs she leaves him, enters
a convent and is the means of bring
ing the man and his family together
again. The story unfolds skillfully
and is made doubly entertaining by
the completeness of the production.
The locations include scenes in the
United States, London and the south
of France. All have been carefully
selected and the illusion is complete.

NEWS OF THE PHOTOPLAYS

of the spectator, but, to make things
all the more real and intimate, I'M
folds a story of such grim trueness to
life that its dramatic power is I'M
matched. Thus the production fulfllis
the two-fold mission of being a most
absorbing drama and an authentic
representation Of military operations
in France at the present time.
The mere fact that Sarah Bern
hardt plays the leading role IS suttl-
Gent to arouse intense interest, as
this is perhaps the last picture IN
which the great actress will appear.
The story, by Jean Richepin, mem
Der of the French Academy, tells IN
simple form it's human tale OF love
and sacrifice. It's pathos is irreslstl-
