to be released by the First National Exhibitors Circuit is the Passing of the Third Floor Back" the Sunday feature at the Palace Theatre, star. ring Sir Forbes Robertson in the role | of The Stranger, which he played in all parts of the English-Speaking world for some eight consecutive sea sons. In many respects, the film yer sion of Jerome K. Jerome's great play is Herbert Brenon's masterpiece. There is more genuine human inter est in the story than can be found in half a dozen of the ordinary machine made scripts" while Sir Johnston heads cast of character actors whose uniform ability is rarely matched on the screen.
 Heart interest and the genuine hu. man emotions of hate, greed, snob. bery, cowardice, vanity and brutality. redeemed by the homely kindliness of passer-by, furnish the motives upon which this big dramatic struc. rure has been built. No man or
  plot, and the changes wrought in the lives of the various characters by the mysterious Stranger without de irving personal good from the experi- ence
 Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson is supported by such players as Molly Pearson, famous for her creation of the star role in "Bunty Pulls the Strings; George Le Guere, star of "The Seven Deadly Sins" and TOW being featured in the seasons big Broadway comedy hit, Business Be fore Pleasure" Ketty Galanta, form |erly of the Ballet Russo, featured dancer in "The Wanderer." and the Anna ViroubOva of ''The Fall of the Romanoffs.; Alfred Hickman and Sydney Goldin.

 This feature will be seen at the Orpheum tonight and Sunday along with a two-reel comedy.
 The story, which was. written by George Middleton, who has himself resided in the heart of Greenwich Village for many years, recounts the unusual occurrences in the life of a beautiful southern girl with inherent dramatic talent, who leaves her fathers home in order to taste the freedom of independence through self-development Naturally enough, she takes an apartment in the vicin- ity of Washington Square while talk. ing course in dramatic training un- der one Serge Ratakin. It is from this cosy studio that most of the un- usual influences radiate which furnish the plot complications.

This will be the offer ing at the Palace Theatre for the last time tonight. The director, Al bert Capellani, has enlarged con sderably upon the stage version as produced by David Belasco, and has added materially to this fascinating and dramatic story of theatrical life.

RUSSELL STAGES FIST BATTLE IN ELEVATOR SHAFT.

William Russell, athletic star of the screen, hero of a hundred fights to the death in as many tight cor. ners, has his most sensational en- counter in the new American-Mutual production. New York Luck"-a fight that starts while he and his antagonist are hanging precariously to an elevator cable in a narrow shaft, and ends in q smashing knock out in the elevator cage.
 This new drama, to be seen at the Coliseum tonight only, is one of the best in which Russell has appeared for some time. The star is given an opportunity to show versatility and does it in the role of Nick Flow Ter, an ambitious station agent of Hohokus, Maine, who is determined

MONDAY FEATURE AT ORPHEUM THEATRE,

lover There,' the great war drama which Select Pictures is releasing for distribution, will be shown at the Orpheum Theatre Monday. The pie ture, which was made by the Charles Richman Pictures Corporation, is be- ing hailed as one of the finest Of the years productions, and its CO., stars, Charles Richman and Anna Q. Nilsson set high standard in mo- tion picture characterization.
 The story, briefly told, concerns the lives of Monte Jackson and his sweetheart, Betty Adams. Monte has an inherent fear of bloodshed and when war breaks out sidesteps, one one excuse or another, enlist ment. In time his friends question his excuses; he is blacklisted at his club, finally denounced as a coward and dropped by his set. Even his fiancee, in the face of his continued evasions, loses faith and breaks their engagement Only his mother stands by him.
 Mortified at the position he occu- pies in revulsion of feeling, Monte joins the service. He is sent to France, where Betty is already serv- ingas a Red Cross nurse. Here he works out his salvation, climbs back into the love of his friends and sweetheart, and covers himself with
 glory. See the picture. It is the
 sort of thing that might happen to
 my one of us. It is filled with hu
 man interest, and appeals to the iil-
 nate love of country and flag in
 every loyal American. It is red
 blooded American play with a great
 idea behind it.

"The Face in the Dark" to be seen at the Palace Tuesday, contains some charming snow scenes in which fifty children coast down hill. Days after this episode was taken it was found that additional scenes would have to be photographed. But there was no snow. It had melted. So a portion of the hill was re-created in. side the Goldwyn Studios. The ques- tion asked by audiences is, which was real and which artificial?

1 CHARLIE WAS
 |ChIEF THRILLER.

Charlie Murray, the Sennett come dian, was general manager and field marshal and chief thrill expert of the recent Salvation Army drive in Los Angeles.
 Most of the famous stars of the screen took part in one capacity or another in big production planned by MT. Murray There was a show on nearly every street corner of the down town district
 Murray himself was scheduled to leap from the top of the tallest sky scraper in the city. A great crowd gathered; they saw him peek over the edge of the building. All the crowd held their breaths; then the women screamed as a form came hurling over into space-and a dunn my dressed up like Murray fell into the waiting net hundreds of feet be- low. The stunt netted a lot of mon ey for the Salvation Army and gave the whole city laugh.
 This comedy is a Sunday feature at the Coliseum.

SCENARIO FOR ELTINGE BY CAROLYN WELLS AND GELETT BURGESS.


 Following the announcement that Julian Eltinge, famous feminine i'm personator, had consented to appear before the motion picture camera in Paramount pictures, came the name of the authors of his first production These were no less than Carolyn Wells and Gelett Burgess, both hu morists and popular short story writ CTS.
 "The Countess Charming" is the play and in it MT. Eltinge is seen as a bewitching foreign countess who lures mems watches. scarf pins and wallets into her fair ringed hands for no less a purpose than the Red Cross fund. The picture abounds with humor of the best sort and is the kind that will be long remem bered for it's unexpected situations rnd screamingly funny plot. Manager Gross of the Coliseum Theatre an nounces "The Countess Charming for his playhouse on Sunday and Monday.
 This may be a strange thing to say of man, but it is nevertheless true. Julian Eltinge, the talented female impersonator, actually has 2 handsomer wardrobe of woman's gowns than most stage or screer stars. He shows these of to goot advantage in his first screen produc tion. entitled "The Countess Charm ing"

I took this matter up with Mr. j. H. Sko-
grand Of the Farmers and Merchants bank
at Montevideo and with c.. H. Justice, shoe
dealer there, and DR.. Randolph Arnold, and
they assured me that the banks and merchants
of Montevideo would stand behind our effort
and lend it every assistance within their power,
because in their county and community it has
reached stage where the farmers look
askance at the merchants. They are animated
with the idea that their local banks and the
business men are trying to perpetuate what
they conceive to be diabolicar scheme of graft
because they (the merchants) refuse to acqui-
esce in the Townley program. This has re-
suited in a material loss of business to them, a

MAKES APPOINTMENT

I have made an appointment
with Mr.. Nicholas in Jackson coun-
ty to meet him Thursday morning
of. this week for the purpose of
talking over and arranging for a
campaign of raising funds amongst
the merchants and business men of
that section of the state. Now in
the magazine that has been issued
under the name of "On the Square,"
find provision made for contribu-
tions to "On the Square Association
of National Americans" for the pur-
pose of carrying on campaign of
propaganda relative to the Nonpar-
tisan league. Now it would be
manifestly unwise to solicit funds
for two separate different institu-
tions for the same purpose. There
fore, it seems to me that method
of raising and disbursing funds that
has the sanction and cooperation of
all concerned should be determined
upon. am calling your attention

Dear Sir: Pursuant to your request relative to
presentation of the actions in the past, and the
intentions for the future, of A. c. Townley, presi
dent of the National Nonpartisan league, permit
to suggest that to ascertain the facts pertinent
thereto, the following be given close and careful
scrutiny: e.
First-The early life and training of Mr.. Townley
eliminating in the organization of the Nonpartsan
league in the spring of 1915
Second-A perusal of the testmany given before
the referee in bankruptcy at Bismarck, N. D.

him, he was unable to cash it and
came to me, asking me to indorse it.
| did so, and the owner of the restau-
rant where I was known gave Teigen
the money.
"That night we had League meet
ing and Teigen offered to come with
me. He offered to speak and I ac-
cepted the offer, as Teigen is good
speaker. There, with $50 of the money
OF jackson county taxpayers in his
pockets, he made a rattling good
League speech. The next day he went
to Jackson and testified against Mr.,
Townley."
AS for the financing of Teigen's ac-
tivities, there is absolutely no doubt
that Teigen was paid by Patterson.

injunction restraining the Postal and
Western Union companies, and the
