All the world loves a lover-and
especially a fighting lover. That is
one of the potent reasons why Will
liam Farnum makes such splendid
and heroic figure in Rough and
Ready" his newest and tremendously
interesting de luxe production. &.
The picture, which was directed
by Richard Stanton, among the SHOWS
of the mountains, for the most part,
comes to the Rex theatre Thursday,
as the chief attraction for one day
run. There are three performances
daily, at $3.50 and 1920 and 9 p. m.
Mr.. Farnum has the role of. Bill
Stratton, who has always led a high
social Hfe, and who is as square with
his fellow-men as he is with him

friend from disruption, but his mas

HERE IS SCREEN STAR
WHO DOES HIS OWN WORK

Antonio Moreno, popular star OF
Vitagraph serials, has one well
known pet peeve." 1t lis the per-
son, who upon meeting him, never
fails to put the question to him as
to whether he actually goes through
the thrilling and ueath-defylng
stunts that his picture represents him
as performing.
1t is true in many cases that pro-
ducing directors and companies are
loath to have their high paid and
popular stars risk life and limb In
the stunts that serial script calls
for. What are known as troubles
are used. Not so with Antonio Nor
emo, regardless of what the company
or his directors may think. He con-
tends that fans who are attracted
by his name and personality on the
screen want to see him and not Bill
Jones or Sam Brown dressed like him.
This conscientious attitude of
Moreno often holds up the production
Of his serials-as it did in his latest
thriller, "The Invisible Hand" the
first three episodes of which will be
shown at the Grand theatre on
Thursday. Right in the. very first
chapter of this photoplay Moreno Is
thrown from the top of moving
train. In putting this action thru
there was a miscalculation and An
tonic Moreno missed the soft spot on
the railroad bank picked out for him
tosland. In consequence the compile
ton of the episode and the starting
OF the others was delayed for sew
eral weeks while he recovered from
the bruises and scratches sustained.

NEWS OF THE THEATRES
REX WEDNESDAY

Struck by bolt Of lightning, pick
ed up for dead and buried alive by his
cousin, who knows he is only stun
ned, Count dttMontrone wakes up in
the family vault and only by super
human effort makes his escape to the
outer world. In the meantime his
cousin succeeds to the title and wOos
the woman di Montrone loves.
The dreadful experience has so
changed the appearance OF the Count
that he is unrecognized to his closest
friends. He loses his identity and
becomes music master. Word
reaches him of his cousins perfidity,
who does not love the girl he has
won and wants only her estate. The
count returns and wrecks vengeance
on the man who has sentenced him
to a living death. Then, by means
of the phantom melody which he had
played to her in years gone by the
girl realizes that the count Is not
dead. Her love for him revives.
This is the merest outline of 1.-THE
Phantom Melody" the Universal pro-
duction in which Monroe Salisbury Is
to appear at the Rex theatre on We'd
nesday and which is said to be the
most fascinating romance screened,
in a long time. F. McGrew Willis,
who wrote the story, has combined
the Imagination Of Dumas, the wierd
ness of Poe and the beauty of Steven
son in the plot, characters and situa-
lions of this unusual photodrama.
The locale of the story being in
Italy, the producers have given the
production an artistic and colorful
background. Beautiful exteriors,
gorgeous interiors and much natural
scenery have been caught by the
camera to add to the romantic in
terest of the story. ~ -
In the role of Count $di Montrone,
Monroe Salisbury has the biggest role
of his career, and he portrays its sew
.era1 phases in his usual artistic man
ner. Others in the cast are Barney
Sherry, Jean Calhoun, Ray Gallagher,
Charles West, Lois Lee, Joseph Ray
and Milton Maxwell. Douglas Ger
rard directed the production.

Gvpsies: who is there that is not
interested in them?~ Their different
life? Their dress? Their habits ana
costumes? How much do you know
about them?
Novels, poems and songs have
been written about these strange
wanderers but very few of us nave
had the oppor+ unity to acquaint our
selves with the way they live. We
know them as fortune tellers and
horse-traders and some people, VINO
are ignorant of these queer people,
believe that they have an over-indul-
gence for kidnapping children. An
American director, Morton Thornton
by name, happened to secure a seem
ario dealing with gypsy life. Reallz-
ing the difficulty of finding band OF
gypsies in this country whose camp
life was what the author of the story
had in mind, he went abroad and
over in Scotland found just what he
was looking for. He engaged
group of actors who had stage ana
screen experience both here. and
abroad and combined them with this
band of gypsies and thus was able
to turn out Romany Where Love
Runs Wild, one Of the most inter-
esting six-reel picture features pro-
duced in recent years. Heretofore in
making pictures of gypsies and gypsy
camps, directors have faxed, but Mr..
Thornton has adhered to absolute
truthfulness in producing his feat
ure by employing a tribe of Romantics
who will be on view in the picture
at the Rex theatre today.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17-Federal spe-

FiScheT's Brother-iH-LGIC Ad-
canoes Mental TeLepathy
Theory.

HAMILTON. Ontario, Sept 17.--Men-
tal teiepathy was offered as the expIa-
nation OF Edward p. Fischer's warning
Of the Wall street explosion IN New
York by Robert A. Pope, Fischer's
brother-iu-lsw. who caused his arrest
here today.
Pope declared Fischer was not in New
York yesterday when the explosion oc-
Cured
Pope lad Fischer arrested on a charge
Of insanity after their arrival here this
morning from Niagara Falls, y. Y.
Fischer was arrested in the Offices Of
attorneys ia the Bank Of Hamilton Build
ing.
Pope, in statement to authorities, said
Fiacher's mental condition was not nor.
NAL. and for three weeks during which
Fischer sent out warnings of the Wall
street disaster his mind was in a pc
culiary receptive condition.
With his mind thus sensitized, Pope
said, he was especially receptive to men
tai suggestion from others.
His mentality intercepted the thought
waves OF those guiltily connected with
the explosion, according TO Pope's theory.
With his mind filed with these inter-
ceptive thoughts, Fischer worried about
friends who might be harmed and warned
them, Pope believed.
Pope said Fischer predicted the dis
aster to him three weeks ago, and at
that time wrote friends in the financial
district Of New York, warning them OF
what was to take place.
Pope supplied the police with the story
Of Flscher's activities during the last
three weeks He had been subject TO
spells Of mental depression, Pope said,
and his relatives feared he was on the
verge Of a nervous breakdown.
They sought to persuade him to 20 to
the North woods for \ rest, but he re-
fused.
Pope asserted Fischer did not come in
contact with anarchists and he did not
believe 1t possible he had met any per-
sons who would have had knowledge of
the bomb plot.
He then advanced the theory of mental
teiepathy.

The outstanding example Of this lies
in the fact that the Lincoln Hotel served
a portion Of sliced tomatoes, consisting
of not more than three whole vegetab ables,
at 90 cents.
The highest Wholesale price quoted on
tomatoes of any variety during the past
two weeks on Commission Row was $1.5o
per bushel.
Commission men say that the average
number Of tomatoes in a bushel is 150
which makes the,>wholesale cost for one,
cent
Granting that the Lincoln serves three
tomatoes for so cents, the margin over
the wholesale cost is Il cents, or 1855 IS
per cent.
For purposes Of best comparison can
teloupes, watermelons, tomatoes, peaches.
potatoes and sweet corn were priced.
In every instance cited the lowest
charge at each restaurant or cafe has
been compared with the highest whole
sale price.
As is well known the highest retail
! prices are to be found in those estab-
lishments which furnish musical or
cabaret entertainment, part Of the higher
charge being cheerfully assumed by most
patrons because Of the frills, which, OF
course, include better service.
However, It was found that eafeterias
where the self serve custom is in effect
were not universally the cheapest places
to eat, indicating that some places are
able to provide good food and service and
sometimes entertainment at reasonable
prices and yet make a fair profit
