REGENT,,."The More Excellent Way" Blue
Ribbon Nitagraph, with Anita stewart and
Charles Richman. Story by the Rev. Cyrus
Townsend Brady. Directed by Perry Nek-
rolf.
According to James Huneker the Dis
agreeable Girl in fiction is a discovery Of
the late nineteenth century. lie would
have few flaws to find in the heroine Of
this tale. for while Chrissy is not actually
nasty, she is the most shilyshallyng
creature that. the lens has ever caught. It's
still an open question whether the movies
can afford to offer unsympathetic women
to their patrons and ask the latter to be
interested in them. From the viewpoint OF
actually. of course, it's perfectly permis-
sble. The plotting and little touches of
human nature in The More EXcelenr
Way" are admirable. showing the practised
touch of the Rev Mr.. Brad9. The direction
is very very fine. Dissolves. fade-Outs,
tricks of the camera as, for instance. when
the illusion of drunkenness is conveyed. all
make the film a capital study in what
subtleties the photoplaY can deal with when
il wishes to. The acting is inciSive. natural
and hard-driving.

IN MAiftATO JAIL NOW

Ed. Schultz, who passed a worthless
check at Metzinger's store in December
and was held IN the Brown county jail for
several days pending an investigation
blythe authorities, is in jail at Mankato,
accused Of horse stealing. He is said
to have hired team from a Lake Crystal

s. d., to Clinton, Iowa, where he said
he had an aunt living. s
Schultz, who gave his name at Lake
Crystal, where he hired a rig, as p. M.

he is married. He said he was a tele-
phone linaman and expected half
dozen men there the following day to

marshal to engage rooms for them. He
admits that he lied. It is claimed that
he tried to sell the team at Good Thun-:
der, but he denies this.

julius hotel for couple of weeks, passed
a check for $50, drawn in his own name
on Gibbon bank, at the Metzinger store

SPECIAL NUMBER
ON ! YSEU.jM COURSE
UNIVERSITY PLAYERS WILL BE
HERE NEXT WEEK & s

Next week, Tuesday evening, Jan.
80, is the date for the last of the seasons
Lyceum course. At that time the Uni
versity Players will appear at the Ar
mory under the auspices Of the Current
News Club. The members of the Club
are working hard to make this one event
carry the burden of the expense Of the
season and it is hoped that the Armory
will be well filed.
The Lyceurn Players are notable for
the high class productions they put on
and this engagement will show the
versatility Of the players inasmuch as
they will present a comedy, a romance
and tragedy. The first is the farce
The New Baby, a humorous presenta-
ton Of the American home. The second
is "Cherry Blossoms a dainty japanese
love story and the tragedy is THE
Bishop and the Convict play promising
plenty of thrills and a big lesson.
The University ,Lyceum Players are
young men and women of excellent
training and experience in the best form
of the drama, Shakespeare, Ibsen, Su--
dermann, SINCE.
They have been carefully ,rehearsed
in their entire repertory by Mr.. Holt,
whose good judgement and long ex-
perience insures a splendid performance.
= Clean, entertaining, stimulating plays
that leave good taste in the mouth,
should receive the whole hearted support
Of the public, particularly Of the parents
of young people whose taste s can best
be formed by what they are given in
their growing years. High School pupils
need to see such plays as the University
Players offer and the house should be
crowded with all who love the pure and
wholesome in art, literature and life.

CENSORS.

Considerable stir was created the
early part Of the week by the report that
pictures announced to be shown at the
Ruby Theatre Monday night we're to be

public morals protested to the Mayor
against the showing of the film and a
committee was appointed to view the
picture prior to its public presentation.
The snowstorm, however, got in its work
first and no films arrived until Tuesday.
A committee consisting Of two local
pastors and the Mayor viewed the
picture yesterday morning and, decided
in favor of it's being allowed to show.
No date has been set but .'The Little
Girl Next Door, will appear some time
in the near future at the Ruby.
