mended by many visitors, including
the M~andanites.
Mandan played a much better game
yesterday than on their own grounds
the week previous. The men had
been practicing hard; many new men
had been put on the team, it's person
mel being noticeably different. The
spirit of the game throughout was fine,
the Mandan fellows taking their de-
feat in the finest way, and the atmos-
phere throughout being that of a con-
test none the less friendly because it
was dead in earnest.
AS is to be expected, Bismarck is
happy over this close of the season
by its "unbeatables;" they have not
lost a game, and Mr.. Bolt is wearing
smile that won't come off. Pep and
ginger has pervaded all the games
this season, the team being we'll sup
ported by Bismarck high school stu
dents and citizens.

The superior form of the Mandan
players was noticeable at once to
those who saw them at Mandan only
a little I'VE a week ago, and interest
rose along the sidelines, at the chance

especially well for the locals. During

dentally adding to his accomplish
rnents as an author.
The story Of the photoplay tells of
a typical American youth whose
''wanderlust" and ideas Of living
close to nature are not in accord
with the views Of life assumed by
his sweetheart, an ambitious society
bud. Bridge parties. matinee dances,
tea parties and sumptuous dinners
are the important factors in the
pretty girls social career and these
occupy too much OF her time for
wanderings amidst Gods country in
the great outdoors. How the per-
sistent youth takes her away from
her surroundings and wins her over
to his way Of thinking despite her
self offers one OF the most amusing
tonics the screen has yet displayed.
Many chimes are visited and many
surprises are presented in typical
Fairbanks style, ranging in variety
from doing n handstand on n noun
tain precipice 5000 feet above sea
level to teaching a hippopotamus the
famous Fairbanks smile.

GARRICK'S FEATURE

AS a special attraction at the
Garrick theatre commencing Mon
day. Manager Phillips announces
Douglas Fairbanks in his new Art
craft picture, Down to Earth, written
by himself and adapted to the screen
by clever little Anita Loos. John
Emerson, producer of previous Fair
banks Aircraft triumphs, again pilots
the activities of the energetic star
in this production with notable re-
suits. In fact, 1t Is freely predicted
that Down TO Earth is undoubtedly
the greatest Fairbanks screen vehi-
Gle ever given the popular star, the
reason for this, no doubt, being the
fact that he wrote it himself. incl
