BREED THEATRE.

One of the most important book ings of the year is today when Flor cnce Reed, perhaps the most popu- lar star both in stage and screen. will be seen here in her latest super-pic- ture success, Her Code of Honor, " directed by John VI. Stahl and pre- sented by United Picture Theatres of America. Inc. Of this offering Miss Reed herself says: "It is the best picture I have ever made" an eloquent statement to make considering the long list of successes this star has to her name.
 The story of Her Code of Honor Is laid in the famous Latin Quarter, Paris, and in a luxurious home on Long Island, N. Y. Miss Reed has a dual role, portraying in each a fascin- ating young girl. and twice in this great story she is called upon to make a vital lewiston in the intensely hu- man situation that confronts her. But this latest photofeature Is more than q mere love story. It is of surpass- ing interest for the argumentative in terest it will awake in all who see it.
 Taylor Holmes will also be seen in "A Regular Fellow, a feature ere ated for laughing purposes and one that will please all who enjoy come dies of the better class. Tlle Pathe news will complete the bill.

Snakes.

Some snakes may be very useful about a farm, and western farmers are beginning to evince interest in the propa ga ton of a large plains rep tile-the bull snake.
 Authority for this statement. con- tained in a bulletin of the Naional Geogra phic Society, is Raymond L.. Ditmars. who recently returned with his family from a curious vacation spent in the Georgia swamps where his daughter captured the most dead ly reptile known to that region.
 Mr. D:nlars became curator of rep tiles of the New York Zoo. because of his hobby was collecting snakes in stead of postage stamps or heathen idols His collection grew too large, and perhaps too dangerous for his up- town apartment and he offered them to the zoo. But the director would not even let them into zoo. until Mir. Dit mars consented to care for them.
 Not that MT. Ditmars has any i1- lusions about the dangers of snakes. He says, in. a communication to the Society:
