Another example of a play that does
not depend upon "A star for it's popG-
larity appears in Rex Beach's great
photoplay. The Auction Block
which comes 10 the Alta theatre he
ginning sunday
There are no stars in THE Auction
Block" although there doubtless are
many in the making, for it is said that
there are few more striking examples
of histrionic ability than those which
appear in this action. The various
characterizatiOns which figure in the
story are rounded out in the great
novellsts best manner and probably
as much Of their force is due TO this
fact as to the splendid capabilities OF
the players themselves.
1t Is from a finely conceived char
acter that the action springs, that OF

ambitious but nagging mother. She Is
so beautiful that her parents deter

their sacrifices in due time by marry

This plan works out very well in

worthless brother Lorelei is given IA

tribe is the diamond-back terrapin. Be-
cause Of it's rarity and unusual flavor
a specimen seven inches long weighing
about four pounds is worth about So,
and every additional half-inch in
length adds another dollar to the price.
Loggerheads, swapping turtles and soft
shelled turtles are all eaten. The last
named are the most palatable Of all
after the terrapin. They live in mud
dy streams and ponds and are easily
caught on a hook baited with meat.
