KNICKERBOCKER-
Harold Lloyd Anuses.

The holiday week was ushered In
at crandsirs Kniekerbocker Theater
yesterday by nrst Washington pre-
sehtations OF Viola Dsns's latest
starring vehicle, "Cinderells's Twin"
and Harold Loyd's new two-reel
comedy de luxe. Number. Piease?"
both OF which scored instant sue
cesses. Special musical and short
reel offerings completed a program
OF rare attractiveness.
Number. Please?" affords Lloyd's
most convincing visual argument
that MIN comedies can be made laugh
able without resort TO the yulgarities
that most comedians seem to deem
the basis OF screen humor.
This delightful subject, in which
Mildred Davis charmingly supports
the star. relates the experiences OF q
love-sick young man whose endeavors
to win the girl OF his choice are re-
peatedly defeated by a more fortunate
rival and particularly impeded by the
inspired stupidity OF a telephone
operator who gives him every number
in the world but the one he wants,
when the call really means the sue
cess OF his suit. The scene is laid in
one OF the largest beach resorts In the
vicinity OF Los Angeles.
The special musical feature OF the
bill arranged for yesterday and to-
day at the Knickerbocker is fur
nished by Max Pugatsky, a young
New York violinist, who yesterday
won rounds of applause in a fine
recital the chief number in which was
Wieniawskis Second Concerto.
The principal Aim feature OF the
bill is one OF the most effective

LOWS PALACE
Double Comedy Bill.

Old Man Comedy was crowned
monarch OF the program at Loew's
Palace Theater yesterday afternoon
where was inaugurated. for a run OF
one solid week, a program OF merri-
ment that will add fresh levity to the
holiday season and probably establish
few new laugh records of its own.

Party" by Irwin S. Cobb. and Buster

sponsible for the major portion OF the
hilarity that is manifest at the Palace

OF "Thc Life of the Party" which

NOORE'S GARDEN
ssThe Great Lover

All OF US, young and old. male and
female, feel tingle OF curiosity
about any man who has won the
reputation of being a charmer OF
women. If one considers they will
md that, in history and literature,
the eartbreakers have always left
a more permaent record than many OF
those whose achievements deserved II
better.
"The Great Lover" based on the
stage success by Leo Ditrichstein and
Frederic and Fanny Hatton. as pre-
scented at Moore's Garden Theater for
a weeks engagement. beginning yes
terday, deals with the love adventures
OF such a character. at the same time
developing as a stronger motif the
failure OF the average Anglo-Saxon
mind to comprehend the tempera-
mental WITNESSES of the artistic
Latin. and the common mistake OF
crediting passing piQue as the final
decision of a more reliable character.
The story depicted centers about
Jean Paurel, THE Great Lover"
played with excellent effect by John
Sainpolis. the other principal char
acters OF the play likewise being
operatic singers. The plot is woven
around the life of these people in
their work, and the crisis occurs

$4,000 BAND FOR $4,000

Since there will be no baseball in
Brookings next summer the only re-
naming source OF amusement, recrea-
tion and entertainment is the band.
Brookings has a band available, COM
posed of unquestionably the best mu.
sicians in the state We have always
prided ourselves on our band. The
whole town turns out on summer even
ings to hear and appreciate their even
ing concerts. But it seems that the
band is to go by the board this sum-
mer because this progressive city Of
five thousand people, who profess
great civic pride, do not seem inclined
to support the band to the extent OF
$4,000. In view of what other towns
give toward the support of band, our
band is worth at least $4,000. The
boys have enough pride in their city
to offer their services for the modest
sum OF $4,000. The Register believes
that the sum asked is very reasonable
and will do everything within its pow
er TO support the band so that the city
will not be in state Of entire stagna-
ton this summer.

cant farmhouses in that state. A sim
gle county in Kentucky has twenty
seven vacant farmhouses. Figures
from the 1920 census show these con-
ditions to be general over the country
cities overcrowded, farmers begging
for help. The shortage of houses, the
high cost of living, and a good many
other things can be at least partly
explained by the movement Of the
rural population to the cities and
towns. In 1880 seventy per cent of
our population was engaged in agri-
culture. in 1870 $50 per cent and the
1920 estimate is about twenty-five per
cent. Small wonder that the wheat
acreage is less this year Not sur
prising that the number of hogs in
the United States has fallen off 81
per cent. How can people expect any
thing else of the farmer who has
plodded along for years deserted by
his sons and daughters who are all
living in the cities, and hired men as
scarce as Eskimo bathing suits?

N THE CROWS NEST

The first week in May is generally
designated and observed as cleanup
week. On account Of the unusually
ccol and wet weather this spring there
was not much chance to do any clean
ing up last week nor does it look ia
vorable for such work this week. But
we need to get busy as soon as the
weather will permit. 1t is not often
that we see things as untidy about
town as they are at the present time.
There may be some excuse for it in
certain cases, for the winter closed in
on us earlier than usual and many
projects were left unfinished, but there
is no excuse for a large part Of the
untidiness and confusion that can be
seen il you look in any direction. Back
alleys are piled with rubbish and in
many cases are filthy. broken trees
are lying along parkings. and public
lawns are strewn with rubbish and
have the general appearance of no
body being at home. One public lawn.
especially, is little less than a dis
grace, with trash scattered everywhere
broken trees not removed, sand and
gravel on sidewalks and vehicle tracks
Of all kinds spelling the surface Of the
lawn. II is also being used as short
cut for autos when there is no neces.
sity for It, Broken sidewalks and bad
crossings are altogether too common
in the business part of the city. Nc
doubt all Of these things will be looked
after as soon as the weather will per
NIT, and the city will be cleaned ur
and made to appear itself again. This
is something in which everyone should
take pride else We shall lose oul
! good name as city Of fine homes and
surroundings.
