Auto Does Circus stunt.

Monday night about nine o'clock
two young men, strangers here, were
driving south on the street leading
from the A. Bernats residence in
Curtin's addition. They were headed
Tor ND town, no doubt. and drove to
tho Milwaukee railroad tracks in
front of the former Nels Riste resi-
dence opposite the Rock Island
depot. They went right on up over
the tracks and down the steep en-
tankment into Dry Run. The car
didn't tip and the boys ran it up
cut OF the creek on the street lead
fng over to Water street from the
Rock Island depot. The boys were
not injured, neither was the ear. The
car was an enclosed Ford. Vern
Kennard, the barber, witnessed the
accident, and he said 1t was the
closest" shave he ever saw.

ly Is exhausted.
THE fact that the consump-
ton in one year has reduced the
stocks in Europe to the absolute
minimum with which those coun.
tries can carry on business, and
has wiped out all the govern
ment's surplus stocks, with only
nominal consumption in Ger
many, which has heretofore
been, outside of the United
States, the principal copper con-
suming nation of the world,
leaves the metal situation such
that the only stocks available for
new consumption are held by the
American producers, and the
amount unsold is not more than
sufficient to furnish a reasonable
reserve considering the worlds
needs"
The multiplicity of uses for
conner were never so great as to-
day and as the world gets back
to normal the demand for this
metal will steadily increase.
Electrical development alone

GIRL is KIDNAPPED AND
Welded TO A HERMIT

When a sixteen year old girl is
kidnapped by man she neither knows
nor cares for and is forced to marry
him and thereafter leaves her husband
without even knowing his name, it is
to be expected that interesting devel-
opments will occur. This is amply
proved by the story "Good Gracious,
Annabelle!" in which Billie Burke the
dainty Paramount star will appear
at the Royal theatre tomorrow.
This picture story is one of the best
in which Miss Burke has been seen
since her entrance into the silent
drama. 1t is perturbation Of the
eminently successful play written by
Clare Hummer, a young playwright of
New York and it was produced at the
Republic Theatre, New York City
October 81. 1917, with gratifying re-
suits, to the author and theatre man.
agement.
The story has a Western atmos-
phere which later changes to the
East, whittier Annabelle Leigh, the
heroine, goes and subsequently after
a lapse fseveral years, is followed by
her husband, hermit miner who has
become enormously wealthy, with the
result that they meet in peculiar cir
cumstances. When their relation
ship is established, they find happi-
ness in their mutual love.
The picture was directed by Gearge
Melford, and many notable players
appear in the cast, the leading man
being Herbert Rawlinson.

from the heart.
Crying for the screen is differ
ent matter. Although she has divulg-
ed a part of her secret of laughter
her recipe for bitter and sweet tears
remains untold. The fact is Miss
Phillips admits, she always calls to
mind little poem she learned when
she was a girl. It never fails to
bring tears to her eyes. But the
star won't disclose what the poem is
is. She wants the secret for herself.
SATIRE ON THE SIDESHOW
The latest "Flying, A" production
by the American Film Company fea-
turing Margarita Fisher, directed by
Edward Sloman, is "Molly of the Fol-
lies" It is an adoption of a story by
Peter Clark MacFarlane, which ap-
.peared in a recent issue Of the Ret
Book.
"Molly of the Follies" will be the
attraction att the Royal Theatre to-
day. It is a clever satire comedy on
sideshow life and one of the best.
Miss Fisher is a clever little artist
and her work in this picture merits
all the confidence placed in her by
the American Film Company.
In the supporting cast with Miss
Fisher are seen, Jack Mower, ]. Far
rell Macdonald, Lule Warrenton and
other we'll known screen performers.
"Molly of the Follies" provides the
most fascinating entertainment that
is possible via screen.

THAT SECRET rs SAFE

Dorothy Phillips, the star of many
Universal screen productions, who is
appearing in "Paid in Advance" at
the Lyric Theatre, has some secrets
for the making of tears and laugh
ter that she guards jealously, although
she confesses that at times she. has
an inclination to write and tell about
it to somebody. See it at the Lyric
theatre today.
Miss Phillips said recently: 81
sometimes feel tempted to write a
treatise on how hard it is to laugh
at a moments notice. I really find
it much harder to laugh and look as
if I really meant it-than to cry.
Tears in themselves register sadness
and produce that effect, after they
first appear in the eyes. without the
need of further effort on the part Of
the actress. But laughter, that is
different! It is virtually impossible
to laugh when you are not in hum
orous mood. And if you don't feel
the laugh-if you do not laugh with
your heart and eyes as well as with
your mouth, it is going to look forced
and will not be effective"
The star went on to relate that
once while she was in an unhappy, un-
sympathetic mood she Joined group
of "kiddies" who in the hilarity Of
their play were laughing at nothing
at all. Although it seemed ridicu-
lous at first, she discovered the proper
mood that prompts successful screen
