SIGN INVISIBLE
 COMES TO THE PLAZA
 SUNDAY AND MONDAY

"The Sign Invisible," to be featured at the Plaza theater, today and tomor- row, is one of the photoplays selected by the First National Exhibitors Cir cult, an organization of big theater owners formed a few months ago for the purpose of selecting pictures oi real merit for their own chain of first run theaters from coast to coast.
 From an original script by Anthony P. Kelly, produced by Edgar Lewis the man who made ''The Barrier featuring Mitchell Lewis, Victor Su- therland. Mabel Juline Scott Hedda Nova, Edward F. Roseman and other well known screen artists, '"The Sign Invisible" promises to loom large among the seasons more noteworthy photoplays. The story deals with hu- man nature in the rough, the principal action of the plot occurring at a re- mote Canadian trading post. The di- rotor has woven into the swift nov ing story so much strife, love and 'pathos, has pictured them all so vivid ly midst such beautiful scenery that a great many discriminating photoplay lovers are going to pay to see it twice.

SCENE FRoA
 DMH0PlFFrTAS ~BPOKEN BLOSSOMS" Fp Columbia Wednesday, embe

the central figure in the story, is just young girl, brought up by stern father in ignorance of the world and it's ways an unwelcome child at birth, because she was a girl her only TO- nance having been her childhood love for Martin Conrad, but that love stamped itself indelibly on her heart, to map out her fate when she had reached womaphood. The father ar ranges her marrieg with a young Eng fish lord, notorious profligate, a beast in character, and cur in action. Marriage does Lot deter the noble mans affair with a paramour, but only serves to heighten his wifes contempt. Then, the meeting of Mary and Martin, the revival of their old love, the young wife's plucky but losing fight against the dictates of her heart her sur render, feeling she has done no harm, for in her heart was not Martin her mate-then the heart breaking parting of the lovers, Martins reported death, the birth of her child, the product Of true love but illegitimate in the eyes of the world; her fathers terrible ar raignment; her bitter struggle against starvation; her fight for the life of her child; and finally her resolve to sell herself on the streets to keep body and soul together: the strange reunion of Martin and Mary, and then, the victory of love over evil, the justification of the woman's course
 This sterling attraction will be aug mented by 'Ioves False Faces" a Mack Sennett comedy, and the Prizma natural color pictures, with the Pathe News.
 The Strand symphony orchestra with Eugene Redewiu conducting. will be heard in concert, with Professor Hayes at the organ.

JOHN [. KELLERD IN
 SHAKESPEARE PLAYS
 COMING ID THE EELKS

To students of Shakespeare ''The Merchant of Venice" which the emi- nent actor, John F. Kellerd is to pre- sent at the Elks theater this after noon at 200 D. m., holds tremendous interest. The part of Shylock is one of the very best of this skilled actors characterizations. "Shylock" is not one of Shakespeare's inventions, but is based, as so many of his characters are, on historical records. The very name "Shylock' he seems to have borrowed from an ancient pamphlet called Caleb Shillocke his prophetic, or the Jewes Prediction" on which, in 1907 a Pepysian ballad was founded. Indeed no other play of ShaKespeare allows the student so clearly to trace it's sources. The choice of the three caskets is taken from the "Gesta Romanorum; the argument in the trial scene comes from Silvayn's s orator who declaims of a Jew whc would have for his debt pound of flesh of a Christian" while the elope- ment of Jessica has been traced to the Fourteenth Tale of Massucio di Sa- lerno. It is plain from the human qualities with which MT. Kellerd in- vests the character of Shylock that he has made a close historical study of the play and that he has imbued his supporting company with the fine literary and historical traditions.
 The repertoire for the brief engage ment of MT. Kellerd will be "The Merchant of Venice" Sunday matinee Hamlet" Sunday night; Julius Cse- sar," Monday. and Macbeth" Tues day.
 On account of the length of Shakes peare's plays the curtain will raise al D. m. Sunday afternoon and at o'clock in the evening at each per formance.

The Thanksgiving Dance

The Thanksgiving Dance at the
Auditorium Thursday night was a
success as far as it went-that is,
there was a jolly, good-natured
crowd present, despite the disa-
greeab1e weather that came on
about nightfall, but they were not
numerous enough to make the oc-
casion big financial success. But
for the rainy, snowy, disagreeab1e
evening there would have been a
large attendance beyond a doubt,
as the dance had been we'll adver-
tised and was given for the benefit
of a community entertainment en-
terprise the Chautauqua fund. AS

Facts About tie Census

The Fourteenth Decennial Cen
sus is to be taken during the month
of January, 1920.
The first census of the United
States was taken in 1870, during
the administration of George Wash
ington. 1t related solely to popu-
lation.
The Constitution of the United
States requires that a census of the
United States be taken every ten
years. 1t is by this means that
the. apportionment of members of
the House of Representatives is
made to the states.
The Bureau of the Census is a
part of the Department of Com
merce. It was established as a per-
manent bureau in 1902. Prior to
that time the census work was done
by temporary organization known
as the Census Office.
A census of the country's manu-
factures was made in 1910. Under
the present law a manufactures
census is to be taken in connection
with the Fourteenth Decennial cen
sus and every two years there
after.
United States marshaks acted as
enumerators at the first nine de-
cennial censuses. Each marshal
had as many assistants as were ne
cessary to properly cover his allot-
ed territory.

Interested in the Charleston Dam

B. Maier, of Maier Bros, has
Just returned from one of his trips
in the interest of the firm. He says
in travelling around over the coun-
try he has talked with number of
prominent business men and they
all seem deeply interested in the
proposed construction of the Char
lesion Dam Especially in south
ern and eastern Cochise county
Bisbee, Douglas, McNeal. Court
land, Pearce, and other places, and
of course Tombstone ali show much
interest. Mr.. Maier is a never
failing booster for the project. He
says that with it's completion there
would be great advantages offered
consumers of food and agricultural
productions in the county. The
cities of Bisbee and Douglas, each
now requiring large shipments in
from California and elsewhere,
could be supplied from the San
Pedro Valley, with a saving of
time and freight and advantages
to both producer and consumer.
Mr.. Maier says he met up with
Mr.. Maxwell, the great reclama-
ton advocate, on one of his recent
trips, and that that gentleman as
sured him he was doing and would
continue to do all in his power to
urge forward the project.
