 All theatres. churches, dance halls, schools and public gathering places have been closed by Mayor Hanson and many have been turned into hospitals, as quite few of the Naval Training students are down with the sickness. Seattle is not the same city in appearance, as everything seems dead.

Lynch, A. Richard Hansen, Louis Paul and William Taylor, Jr Wrangell gave the boys g great sendoff just before the Jefferson landed there

STOREY EXCELS IN
 WESTERN ROLES

Edith Storey, the athletic star of "The Claim" Metro All-Star picture, excels in outdoor, Western roles, such as she plays in this picturization of the Broadway play of the same name, to be seen at the Eagle theater today. This picture affords her opportunities to live in her character of Belle Jones just the genuine outdoor girl that she is in real life.
 It was in western pictures that Miss Storey first made her first big hit as a screen favorite. She has been ap- bearing in motion pictures over six years, during which she played for the Vitagraph company, with the excep- tion of one year, when she was loaned to the Melies company for a series of western productions.
 The Mack Sennett comedy, "It Pays to Exercise" completes an exception al bill.
