Spectacular Film Coming
To the Victory

Opening at the Victory theater
Saturday in one of the most stu
pendous and thrilling motion pic
lures ever made, the kind of a
show that makes a Fanny Film
feel mighty glad that she can get
a pass.
THE Daughter of the Gods"
with Annette Kellerman, the IA
nous woman swimmer, playing
the leading role. is the type of
film that is welcomed by every
one in these strenuous times, a
picture of so delicate fantasy
and of such exquisite develop
ment and photography, that one
forgets for awhile, and earth
again becomes the fanciful spot
OF dreams, peopled with fairies
and fays and gods.
For one, we are mighty glad
to see Annette.

Lots of Action
At Melbourne

"The Golden Goal" which is
showing at the Melbourne this
week, has to be some picture, it
just naturally has to be full of
excitement, as it opens with a
terrific fight in a waterfront dive
between two stalwart brutes.
With start like this the picture
keeps up the interest thru to the
closing scene.
Tacomans are particularly in
terested in Denton Vane, a former
stock actor here, who has a great
many acquaintance. He has a
good part in the film and proves
to his friends that he has been
succeeding in the world of black
and white as he did upon the
stage.

The above telegram received this
morning by the Pioneer, tells the
story of four more from Bemidji on
their way to camp at Charlotte, N.
c., they having left at midnight last
night. The quartet consisted OF
Raymond Lord, Raymond Magurn,
Charles Caslin and Tony Corite.
There was another from Thief River
Falls who came to Bemidji yesterday
and left with the Bemidji boys.
The leaving of the party from Be-
midi holds more than passing in
terest and if two patriots ever en-
deavored to serve their country in
the battle line it was Magurn and
Lord:
Here's a Real One.
Magurn is married and has one
child. He had tried three times to
get into the service for Uncle Sam
and each time he was turned down.
The first two joints on the index
finger on the left hand are gone and
the top joint on the second finger OF
the same hand is gone. Yet he is a
splendid specimen physically and
will make a good soldier. AS a last
resort a photograph of the manned
hand was taken and, together with
other particulars about Magurn, was
sent to Washington. An order was
received to induct Magurn into SER
vice and he chose the infantry. -: -:

Young Lord is another who also
Z tried to enlist as hard as ne could
but there were some minor defects
about him that needed fixing up and
he went to it with the result he al
so went into the infantry.

men and also volunteered for the in
fantry before the call. All four were
