Blind Husbands" Is an unusually

Objectionable features which generally
attach themselves to such produc-
tions. Advance criticisms state this
production to be one OF the best of its
kind ever conceived and the writer
thoroughly agrees. Enacted with the
Tyrolean Alps as a setting, the pic

strong. is no stronger than the drama
depicted. which throbs with vitality
and scars with tremendous sweep

The story carries one to a fashion

Immediately establishes the fact
that marriage was never more prev

Young and old rush into this most
serious and perilous business of

themselves the ones who will live
happily ever afterward. Few seem
to have time or the inclination to

much of the unhappiness resulting

The element Of contrast was add
ded to the bill which won the un-
stinted praise Of capacity audiences
at Crandalfs Knickerbocker Thea
ter last night> by the projection of
q rousing farce based upon the diff
hculties of husband who found
himself confronted with domestic
complications due to the prevalence
Of notion on the part OF his wife
that she had sworn to "love, honor
and be gay" In His Naughty
Wife" are embodied most of the
qualities of drama which the major
feature of the bill lacked. The pic
tured adventures Of the distrustfui
spouse and the usual Introduction
of a series OF battling Photographic
tricks make this a camera comedy
Of exceptional merit.
Another contribution to the effec-
tiveness OF the bill was found in the
new issue of current events which
Sisualised important happenings the
world over during the week just
closed.
The principal feature Of the bill
arranged for yesterday and today
at the Knickerbocker is such that

CrandaI's MetropoIitan-aIom rdi,

Ltd"
Seldom in picturizing a former
stage success has the original act
ing version of the play been so
rigidly adhered to as in the case of
lombard. Ltd" which was re-
vealed to Washington in photodra-
matte form for the first time. in
Crandall's Metropolitan Theater yes
terday. The logical sequence of
scenes has been scrupulously OBJ
served with the result that the
shadow drama derived from Frederic
and Fanny Hatton's greatest comedy
hit. preserves all OF the directness
and all of the dramatic power OF the
play that ran for two years on
Broadway.
Supplementing the charm of the
story of the impetuous young Ital-
ian male modiste whose dream OF
love and financial independence was
shattered by the perfidy OF a vividly
blond show girl are the man pic
turesque amplifcations in setting
permitted by the almost unrestrict-
ed scope of the camera The epi-
-sodes of the story that take place in
the fashionable Fifth avenue shop,
conducted by Tito lombard, are
beautiffed by the introduction Of
fashion parades Of the latest modes
from Paris that Will delight the
feminine eye and completely BATTLE
the male mind. The gorgeous crea-
tions are worn by a group OF stun
ming mannequins who play an i'm
portant part in the development of
the romantic story. There Is also
visualized the scene in the theater
where "Strohm's Revue" is being re-
hearsed. 1t is here that the male
gender finds the visual delights
which place him on a par with his
wife in the matter of agreeable spec
tacle. The production throughout
its length is one of elaborate and
colorful execution that stamps the
picture as one of the genuinely ar
tistic accomplishments of the year.
In the role OF Tito lombard, Bert
Lytell offers one OF the most perfect
characterizations the screen has
known. 1t has evidently remained
for the requirements OF character
role to bring to light the real depth
OF Lytelrs power and the full play
OF his unerring sense of comedy.
Surrounding the star are players of
more than ordinary note who add
much to the effectiveness Of the en-
sembles. Chief among these are
Alice Lake. Jean Acker. Thea Talbot,
Anne May. Thomas Jefferson and
Joseph Kilgour. Each contributes
to the creation of the plays dis
tinctively smart atmosphere,
character study that appreciably
strengthens the-feature's appeal as
genuinely human as we'll as ex-
tremely spectacular reflection OF a
little known phase of metropolitan
life.

MISS kATHERYN sTAuDAHER

Miss Katheryn Staudaher died at
tho home of her parents in Salmon
last Saturday morning, the second
member of this family falling under
the inroads OF the prevailing epi-
demic. A son, William Stuadaher.
passed away few days before the
daughter, while the parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Staudaher, were crtiti-
cally i'll. Mrs. Staudaher from Dillon,
a sister-in-law, came over to Salmon
Friday to render loving care and
comfort in this stricken home The
young woman, Katheryn had been
unconscious before the aunt came
but with mind cleared for a time just
before the end she told the aunt
how hard it was for her to die be-
cause she said, she had engaged
herself to become the wife of a
young soldier in France whom she
expected soon to be back home from
his great patriotic service abroad.
The daughter and son thus taken
were the eldest of the family. One
other only is now left, son, Victor,
who has been visiting in Boise. An
uncle from that city came to Sal
mon on Monday and accompanied
the body Of Katheryn to the capital
city for burial. Mr.. and Mrs. Staud-
aher, the parents, are now consider
ed safely passed through their own
Illness. In all their Affections they
have, had every care that neighbors
and friends could give them.

In the Field Notes of the Farmer
we find the following:
I'VE just can't write these notes
without thinking of Harry Summers.
1t is real loss TO the stock inter-

good nature, his keen knowledge of
livestock and of men, and his extra
ordinary ability TO make things go''
made him a leader in Montana. II is
hard to everest stimate the good he has
done to improve stock standards in
the state. The Montana Shortborn
Breeders association is virtually his
creation, and he has been the moving
spirit in it since its foundation. II is
likewise to his credit that he has
helped train and develop other breed
ers of the reds-whites-and-roa in

started will carry on without hesita-
