FILM STORY ACTED ENTIRELY
BY BOYS ON PROGRAM TONIGHT

A two-reeI Judge Brown story,
entitled THE Rebellion" and an o.
Henry store in two reels entitled by
Injunction" and a Harold Lloyd
comedy will constitute the program
at the American Theatre this even
ing. The wonderfully appealing
boy-life stories written by Judge Will
lis Brown and produced by the Boy
City Film Corporation have proven 70
be the seasons most consistent photo
play successes. These two-reel re-
leases, played by boy actors, have
established what film men believe tC
be a new record for popularity with
both the old and young. In these
stories the clean, captivating humoI
of juvenile life is given free rein
Real kids-kids one sees in real life
are the principal players in this pro-
duction. The o. Henry story is a
snappy western story without gum
play in which the efforts of the citi-
zens of Yellowhammer to provide
some kids for a celebration brings a
surprising and happy reunion to an
estranged couple The Harold Lloyd
comedy needs no recommendation as
every one so far has been riot.

WONDERFUL PICTURE, TUESDAY

Because of her marvellous interpre-
tation of the role of Dorothy Har-
Ian" in Carmen of the Klondike ;"
which will be the attraction at the
American Theatre next Tuesday, Miss
Clara Williams has been hailed by the
critics as the foremost delineator of
feminine parts in stories laid in the
barren northwest Miss Williams por-
trays an extremely difficult character
in the picture. inasmuch as it takes
her from the vaudeville stage in the
United States to the snowbound back
woods of the Alaska mountains. The
picture is built on strong and grip
ping plot and is doubtless the most
vivid drama of the north woods which
has ever been presented on the
screen.

relatives from DEMO and several
friends were sitting in the house,
Arthur Turney ran in the front door
and informed them that the house
was on fire. Preparatory to leaving
Mr.. Irving had been burning lot Of
personal papers and it is probable
that defective chimney caused the
fire.
The fire department and many citi-
zens arrived soon after the alarm was
turned in, but by that time the flames
were shooting up from the entire roof
Only by quick work was the furniture
removed and the fire checked. That
the fire was confined to the roof is
considered remarkable, but was due
primarily to a fairly good supply II

SMOKE ROLLING INTO TOWN

Today Winnemucca has been en-
cased in a cloud of smoke. the origin
of which is a subject of much debate.
1t is known that forest fire is raging
near Verdi, but because the wind is
coming from the northeast many are
of the opinion the smoke is coming
from a fire in the forests of southern
Idaho. All efforts to ascertain the
real source have been fruitless.
