Movie Star Goes Through Maze
of Hazardous Stunts to Kill
Off ALI Jinxes in the
World.
WHOLE TOWN FLOODED
Realistic Scene Created in
Comedy, when the Clouds
Roll By" Coming to Strand
Theatre.

''When the Clouds Roll By" another
strenuous comedy production starring
Douglas Fairbanks, will be at the
Strand four days. starting next Thurs
day afternoon.
The theme Of the picture is a far
reaching one-superstitions. Everybody
has one. It's a touchy theme to say
the least; because of the millions of
people in the country who really believe
they won't be married for seven years
II they break a mirror, that they'll have
bad luck IL a black cat crosses their
path or that they will have a quarrel IL
they spill salt and all the other hun
dred and one jinxes.
Fairbanks succeeds in smashing
every one Of these pet superstitions and
coming through with a smile. To win
his point he Is called upon to go
through a maze OF hazardous stunts
that test even his we'll known dare
devil abilities.
The production from a standpoint of
settings Is without parallel, it is
claimed, particularly the final scenes
which show an entire small town, spe-
cially constructed, swept away In q
flood. Millions of gallons Of water were
turned into the little valley where this
town was built In order to achieve the
effect desired.
The story is pure comedy. clean as
. hounds tooth, bull Of Fairbanks ac-
tion and amusing situations. but it has
Q smashing dramatic climax.

A GL|MMER OF HOPE
FOR THE THIRSTY

A small measure Of relief is in sight
for Nevada people who enjoy all occa-
sional drink of something stronger
than near beer" or the various horms
of "home brew" by the announcement
that the next edition of the United
States pharmacopoeia will take the
ban off the sale in Nevada of grain
alcohol, brandy and whiskey by drug
gist's On physicians prescriptions. The
new pharmacopoeia will be issued
some time this month, says the Ga
Iette.
Under the Nevada law the sale OF
alcohol, whiskey, and brandy by drug
gists certificates is prohibited be-
cause the phamacopoeia OF 1919, un-
like it's predecessor of 1913 ,failed to
mention those liquors, placing them
within the classification of drugs that
were not considered necessary for
medical purposes.
When the Nevada prohibition law
first went into effect the sale of Ger
tain Intoxicating liquor for medicina
purposes by druggists was permitted
under the terms of the then existing
pharmocopoeia, but when the new vol
ume was issued Attorney Genera
Fowler notified druggists ana physi.

liquors on physicians prescriptions
would not be tolerated unless the

that she thinks that the League is ,n-

lieve the lady is sadly mistaken.
She says the constitution guaran-

hence she advocates the release OF all
