"The Eternal City"

The Eternal City which is to be
shown at the Bentley Grand on Tues.
day the 18th, marks the passing Of
another milestone in the film history
The Eternal City, however, is purely !
dramatic story. While it has sew
eral large scenes. they are only Incl
dental; they never overshadow the
story. This picture marks an epoch
OF big stories produced by big direct
Ors.
Hall Caine story OF the foster bro
ther and sister who, after years OF
separation, meet again in Rome,
where he is socialist agitator and
she is the companion of the Prime
Minister, grips the audience instantly
The interest grows constantly to the
final scenes in which the foundling's S
uncle, who has become Pope, is able
to save the life OF his nephew who has
killed the Italian Prime Minister.
The young man has been led to the
killing by his love for Donna Roma
his foster sister. Her love, too, has
reached the heights, and she assumes
the guilt and stands trial for murder.
Miss Frederick, as Donna Roma,
change from the butterfly like mistress
of the Prime Minister TO g young wo-
man whose love upIifts her is portray
ed as probably only she can do it.

The Tea with the Flavor.

The Erlandson & johnson Co.
have q northv est reputation for
tea. They have one particular
brand that they have been handling
exclusively for over thirty-five
years, and this tea has given them
. reputation that is more than
statewide, for it is very common
thing for the firm to receive an
order for tea to be sent by parcel
post to points in Montana and
North Dakota, and this week they
received an order from Superior,
Neb., for two pounds of the e W
tea to be forwarded by parcel post.
Other dealers may have their part
icular points Of superiority in
goods handled, but on the tea
question the Erlandson & Johnson
Co. are prize winners with the

Girls Glee Club
VI HamIine University GIVE Enjoya-
bie Evening Of Song

A large audience greeted the
Hamline University Girls Glee Club
at the Bentley Grand last Saturday
evening, and all we're heartily
pleased at the several numbers
rendered by the young ladies. who
gave our Milbank folks a delight
ful evening Of song and music.
The chorus Of soprano and alto
voices was of excellent quality and
delightful harmony and gave evil
dence OF the thorough training that
had been received under Prof. joe
ger as director. An act from
The japanese Girl' was most
pIeaslngly presented, the operetta
being peculiarly adapted to the
young ladies club. Mr.. Jaeger,
who has a rich tenor voice, inter
spersed the choruses and trios of
the ladies with solos that were
greatly appreciated, and the several
school songs by the club added
go to the program, and were
always heartily received.
The Mllbank engagement con-
cluded the weeks outing for the
club, but the party remained over
in the city Sunday, and at the
morning service at the Methodist
church Prof. Jaeger and Miss Wv
lie rendered duet and solos. At the
public health meeting at the opera
house in the evening the company
enlivened the meeting with num-
ber of selections.
The time between the closing of
the program at the opera house
and the departure Of the midnight
train for Saint Paul was utilized
by the Epworth League of the
Methodist church for holding an
informal reception for the club.
The League rooms at the church
were filled and the visitors and
home folks alike enjoyed the hour.
After the serving of refreshments
and the rendering Of an enjoyable
impromptu program the local
young people escorted the glee club
to the station and saw them safely
started on their homeward way.

What Determines Character

What is the determining fact
or in human character9 Eugen.
les, heredity, environment, edu-
cation, religious training, are
any or all Of these sufficient to
account for the trend Of life and
the bent of nature character.
This question will be discussed
Sunday evening by the pastor Of
the Methodist church. The story
of "Old Born Drunk the out
cast of the London slumf, will be
told and the history of the man
whose name is revered by more
people than that Of any other
who has ever lived, not even ex-
cepting Jesus himself, will be
given. This is supremely vital
question, and the attention OF
thoughtful people is invited.

Naughty Rebecca"

Everything under the sun is
being charged to the war now
days, principally the high cost
of living. But 1t is a fact that in
the very prosperous East, due to
war orders, plays are having un-
usually long runs, because mon
ey is easy and patronage conse-
quently heavy beyond all expec
tationS.
The result has been a dearth
Of travelling companies. L h G
shows enjoying the long runs
have been loath to take to the
road while the prosperity con
tinued and this condition has
been taken cognizance of by
James +. Kerr, well known pro
ducer. Quick to take advan tage
of situation where managers
declined TO give up sure and
steady profits for the uncertain
returns Of tour, he gathered a
company Of We'll known players
and under the capable direction
Of VIM G. Walch sent them
forth in Naughty Rebecca, an
evening ) supply OF laugh tonic
umcorked j n three doses o +

laughs it would require IN ad-

The "Nau@hty Rebocca com

ty Rebecca and for several years
has been favorably known in

Disastrous Fire


Last Saturday morning a little
before eight o'clock the fire alarm
sounded and it was discovered that
the Emanuel furniture building
was on fire. For consi lerable time
no blaze was visible, but the build
ing was filled with smoke, and the
indications were that the fire was
in the basement. When the blaze
did burst out it appeared to come
all at once, and it was quickly seen
that the fireman would not be able
to cope with it so far as saving the
building. but that the best they
could do would be to prevent the
flames from reaching other prop
erty. This they successfully ac-
complished, and confined the flames
to the Emanuel building Fortu-
nately for the east side of Main
street the wind was blowing from
the north, and the flames and
smoke carried in that direction had
to cross Fourth avenue before
reaching another building. Had
the wind been from the south il is
probable that the fire Wonld have
spread up the street, and it wou d
have been a difficult matter to have
che ked it IN the row Of brick
buildings to the north. AS it was
only the two Emanuel buildings
We're destroyed. One Of these was
the original large frame structure
on the corner, and the other was
the additional brick building on
the north, the two forming
double store building.
The fire when at its height was
so hot that it cracked the transom
windows in the Rogers art store
front, and the officers of the Evan
gelical insurance company stored
their valuables in the vault in an
ticipation Of the possible spread Of
the flames to their building. The
morning was bitterly cold, the
mercury being below zero, bat the
firemen kept three streams of wat
er playing on the fire and on the
exposed buildings, and good work
was done until the blaze was un-
der control.
The furniture stock was recent
ly purchased from VIM. Emanuel
by the Security Land & Loan Co..
of Tolley. N. D., in a land deal,
and the company had just conclud-
ed special sale at reduced prices,
and the stock had been in charge
Of Fruh Brothers. A. M. Fruh
had gone away at the close of the
special sale, and Albert Fruh was
left in charge. Mr.. Hartfeldt
who was working for the company.
and was in charge Of the furnace,
states that there was no fire in the
furnace Saturday morning, and
just how the fire was started is
mystery, as practically all of the
goods had been removed from the
basement, and there was no rub
bish lying around.
There was S5, 200 insurance on
the buildings, which were owned
by E. D. Emanuel.
On the furniture stock. owned
by the Security Land & Loan COM
pany there was $1,000.
VIM. Emanuel had $1,000 on his
undertaking equipment and stock.
Prof. Hopfner, the musician.
had one of his pianos stored in the
building, and this was destroyed,
there being no insurance upon it.
We understand there was some
other losses to parties who had
purchased goods and had not re-
moved them from the building for
various reasons, and these would
be total losses to the owners.
