CELEBRATED "F0LLIES" GIRL
Is EMOTIONAL SCREEN ARTIST

The largest and most elaborate "set"
ever erected on the immense glass
stages at the Triangle Culver City
studios is the reproduction of Minots
Cafe, which provides the background
for much of the action in AN Even
Break" starring Olive Thomas. The
''set," which was erected at a cost Of
$4,000, occupies the entire stage, look
200 feet, and it was even necessary to
remove one end of the stage and set
up the camera on a platform outside
to secure some of the long vistas.
Sceens were taken under the sun as
well as by artificial light, Rirector
Hillyer and his company, which in
cluded more than five hundred play
ers and assistants, working all night
in some instances to secure some of
the magnificent lighting effects which
are a feature of the piece. One par
ticularly effective scene was secured
by a novel stage-lighting scheme
which brings the dancers in silhouette
before the camera, the transparent
costumes floating like ethereal drape-
ries about classic figures. For more
than two weeks the dancers were re-
hearsed for this and other scenes
which take place in the cafe. and are
undoubtedly the most effective ever
used in a motion picture.
The production is in reality a bit
out of real life for the star, Olive
Thomas, who plays the role of
Gotham's gayest and most popular
entertainer. She became a star of
Triangle plays after winning interna-
tional recognition in musical comedy
for several seasons. Charles Gum
plays the leading male role opposite
Miss Thomas, and Margaret Thomp-
son and Darrell Foss are prominent in
the cast. The story is from the pen
of Lambert Hillyer, who also directed
the production.

DUCKER'S MACHINE
KILLS RENO YOUTH

While riding down Court street on
a bicycle Tuesday night, says the
Reno Gazette, Paul Freeman, the 13-
year-old son of Mrs. Marie C. Free
man, was struck by an automobile
driven by W. G. Ducker, and instantly
Killed. The accident, according to the
police, was unavoidable, and after an
investigation Ducker was absolyed
from all blame.
Young Freeman was riding east on
Court street and ran squarely in front
OF Ducker's machine, which was max
ing a turn from Court street into
Granite street, headed south. The
front light of the car struck the boy
on the bicycle squarely and threw
him to the pavement. Ducker stopped
his machine and took the boy to the
office of DR.. J. E. Pickard, near by,
where he died in few moments.
Through aid given by several West
ern Union messenger boys, the lad
was identified after an hour of wait
ing and his mother was then informed
OF the accident and was nearly pros
trated when she found her boy dead
in the office. The car did not run over
him, but when he was thrown to the
pavement his skull was fractured.
Ducker, who drives a taxicab in
Reno. was formerly a resident of
Winnemucca and represented Hum
boldt county in the Assembly at the
last session. He has been in the taxi
cab business in Reno for some time
and was at one time manager of the
Becker cafe. The boys father was
formerly an engineer on the Virginia
& Truckee railroad He has been dead
for several years. Besides the mother,
brother, Andy Freeman, now at
Camp Lewis, and three sisters. Doris
Z. Freeman, Ailene F. Freeman, both
If Reno, and Mrs. John Wilderspin of
erie, Pennsylvania, are relatives of
he dead boy.

ULTIMATUM GIVEN
TO FUEL DEALERS

Coal for fuel dealers who will not
cooperate with the food administra-
ton will be diverted to dealers who
will, according to information con-
tanned in a telegram from the bureau
of public information at Washington,
received in Reno by Chairman Nagle
of the Nevada fuel board, which reads
as follows
"The present is not a time when
coal dealers can run their business
as they see fit. and cooperation with
the United States fuel administration
will be required. II coal dealers in
any part of the United States refuse
to cooperate with the Federal fuel
administration, steps will be taken to
divert coal to dealers who will so CO.
operate This policy of the United
States fuel administration was made
known in telegram to a firm of coal
dealers in a Pennsylvania city, who
had been reported as refusing to CO.
operate with the fuel administration.
The telegram was as follows:
Administration is advised you re-
fuse to cooperate with the Federal
fuel administration. II this is the
case, administration will take steps
TO have all coal shipped to you de-
verted to other dealers who are will
ing to cooperate in relieving the
whole situation II is not a time when
dealers can run their own business
as they see fit. and cooperation on the
part of dealers must be given If efforts
OF this administration are to be sue
cessful. Unless advice that you are
willing to cooperate is given by four
o'clock this afternoon we will arrange
TO have all coal now in transit diverted
TO other dealers in your city"
The above telegram to the Pennsyl-
vania dealer was sent In connection
with work OF the fuel administration
in relieving the coal situation in vari-
GUS parts of the country. The firm to
which the message was addressed re-
piled promptly denying charges that
il was refusing to work in harmony
with the fuel administration and fur
nishing proof of its statements. In
this connection, the administration
also puts forth a reminder that every
citizen is a committee OF one to report
directly violations of regulations by
fuel dealers which may come to his
notice.

wINNEMUCCA Is SECOND IN
GREAT WAR SAVINGS DRIVE

Four cities lead the entire State in
the war savings drive, according to
Statewide reports received by Post
master Fred l.. White of Reno. direc-
tor for Nevada. Approximately $4,000
in 25-cent Thrift Stamps and SIS War
Savings Stamps have been sold in
Nevada during the first ten day days
of the movement, Notwithstanding the
fact that postmasters were handi-
capped by insufficient information or
publicity matter.
Goldfeld ranks first in Nevada,
Winnemucca second. Yerington third
and Reno fourth. in amount of sales.
These totals" said Director White
in an interview in the Reno Journal,
represent only such sums as have
been forwarded or reported from a
few towns. There has been no drive
at all, strictly speaking. Sales to date
have been merely to persons who ap-
pear at the postofiice windows and
ask to be shown stamps. However
our posters. folders and War Savings
primers are now arriving and being
remailed with the utmost speed. sc
that results should be attained witt
gathering momentum from now on.
"The main reason of the Govern
ment for commencing the sale of Wal
Savings Stamps just before Christmas
was, of course, to allow these stamps
to take the place of the usual holiday
greeting cards. Committees or Wa
Savings associations are being formed
throughout the State and we are re-
ceiving the finest kind of cooperation
and patriotic response"

MEATLESS XMAS
Will BE NOVELTY

With practically all restaurants and
homes in Nevada pledged to comply
with the food conservation rulings,
and with Christmas falling on Tues
day of the coming week, housewives
and restaurant men are making plans
for meatless meun for the feast OF
that day. Letters from Herbert Hoo
yer received by the division food ad-
ministration headquarters at Reno
declare there will be no abandonment
of the meatless feature on Tuesday,
December %, because that day hap
pens to be Christmas, nor on Tuesday,
January l, which will be New Years
day. Despite the fact that meats are
barred from the Christmas menu, it
may be made an enjoyable one, says
the Reno Gazette.
The food administration explains
that the word meat" is not to be
taken literally, but is intended to
cover beef, pork, mutton and veal, and
as permitting the use of their by-pro-
ducts and fish and game as substi-
tutes. Suggested menus for the house.
wife include a dinner including grape
fruit, cocktail, clam broth, roased tur-
key, stuffed onions, mashed potatoes,
fruit salad, plum pudding, with such
agreeable extras as celery, homemade
preserves and pickles, olives, salted
nuts and coffee.
The same menu may be made over
into a true meatless day by opening
the dinner with peanut soup, having
macaroni and cheese in place of the
turkey, or nut croquettes or cabbage
stuffed with onions,or any number of
vegetable substitutes. If mince pie is
preferred to plum pudding, green to-
mato mince made without meat should
be used.
A different combination of foods is
suggested if fish be chosen for the
Christmas dinner Tomato bouillon
and salted waters may be followed by
baked mackerel or whiefish, or escal-
loped tuna; sweet potatoes and tur-
nips may be used, nut or orange or
grapefruit salad may precede the des-
sert-a baked Indian pudding or
pumpkin pie; homemade moIasses
candy, preserves, pickles and coffee
may be used. The cook who is con-
siderate of niceties will not serve
squash and pumpkin at the same din
ner, and will never serve ice cream
with a fish dinner.
