summoning witnesses for the 20 or 70
cases to be considered by that body.

instruction of Judge Sorrells to
enumerate prostitutes and assigna-
ton houses will submit its report at
the sitting to begin September 10.

1.-THE Way of the Strong" story
set amidst the inspiring grandures Of
the Yukon-a romance Of the north
lands-is a play of virile and red
FLOODED manhood, glowing with fires
OF love and passion The gripping
drama gives Anna @. Nilsson dual
role, ranging in emotions that tax to
the full the rare talents Of the beau
tiful star. In the early part OF the
play she is seen as the unfaithfui
wife-untrue to her husband and her
self and causing misery and grief to
all. Later she appears in q role or
beauty and strength, bringing love and
happiness to replace the other bitter
ness. The story breathes the spirit Of
the great northwest bright with the
glitter Of untrodden snow and diffus-
ing the resinous scent Of the pines
and spruces, larches and hemlocks. II
is story OF sublime grandure-sing
