"A CITY SPARROW" AT -. f..
ELKO LAST TIMES TONIGHT

Suicide! A terrible thought, but
he can never live without her so he
must die! The. sooner the better.
The gas is already filling the room
with its deadly. fumes. But bark! Is
that the soothing sound OF poker
chips rafting in the room next door?
Are those human voices, saying,
"Open for sfive!" 'Raise you tive!"
and other poker expressions? Even
so. All, after all, life is sweet and
women are at times unnecessary, yea
at times like this, supertiuous. Good
bye, suicide!
Walter, HERS is the hero of this
little scene and this is one of the
comedy relief moments in Ethel Clay

The leading man is Clyde Fillmore.

DUCK INN" SHOWS AT
REX THEATRE TOMORROW

Persons who see Lloyd Hamilton,
Of "Ham and Bud" fame in Duck
Inn," second of the Mermaid Come
dies at the Rex theatre Sunday, may
find it hard to believe that he got
his real start on the legitimate stage
as the leading juvenile with James
X. Hackett. And those were the
good old days when the matinee idol
was worshiped and Hamilton was one
of the favorites with the fair sex. For
TWO years he played in "The Prisoner
of Zenda,'' a heroic figure, matinee
and evenings.
Most motion picture followers will
remember him with the "Ham and
BUD comedies, for he appeared in
1874 Of them for Kalem. His chief
item of fakeup was hugh black mus
tache, but he graduated from that,
and now depends on his facial eX-
presisons for the greater portion OF
his laughs. Hamilton is one of the
biggest of screen comedians, being an
inch over six feet, and weighing 205
yet he keeps in such physical trim
that the other members of the COM
pany are taxed to their usmost to
keep up with him. 1t is promised
that "Duck Inn" will prove one Of
the fastest-moving comedies the
screen has seen.

THE WHOLE WORLD BRIGHT

brothers Divided" Frank kee-
mans newest production for Pathe
and booked for the Grand theatre
next Monday and Tuesday, is one OF
those pictures that makes the world
seem like a mighty fine place to

confines of a prison had taught him
to appreciate human nature: and
when circumstances placed him IN
charge of his brothers mill, where
the employees were overworked and
underpaid, he told them of his past
and asked for chance to make

of work and play and just plain hap
py living to a close that sends a
smile chasing the tears away.

Scenes of gaiety among the gayest

ner in the big Fox production, "While
New York Sleeps" which opens
Thanksgiving Day at the Rex theatre.
1t is difficult to lay a finger def
nitely on the element in this truly
remarkable picture which makes the
greatest bid for interest, but it is
safe to say that no other picture
has ever maintained greater degree
of gripping suspense. At times the
suspense approaches perilously near
that point where the nervous tension
must snap. One can feel the eyes
straining in an attempt to see beyond
the pictured action.
The picture is told in three stories,
each of intensely dramatic interest,
the first representing crucial Incl
dent in the life of millionaire and
woman who has married him be-
lieving her real husband, a worthless
cad, has been killed. The cad goes to
her happy home and attempts to
blackmail her. The situation is COM

burglar who comes to rob the house.
Charles J. .Brabin, the director, has
put a world of dramatic punch into
his untangling of the plot,

KEEL CANAL IS NOW
 QUIET WATERWAY
But Is Famous as German War
 Stronghold

Nivl Canal, cnce held by Germany. closed with the outbreak of the World war, now is open to commerce of the world.
 The canal was built by Germany and enlarged primarily for naval operations The British fleet kept close watch lest German warships emerge into the North sea from the ,anal, until it Was realized that the kaiser's much vaunted fleet had no stomach for coming out to fight either by the Kiel or Skagerrack routes.
 NaliousIE known as the Kiel. North sea, or Baltic Canal. the official name Of the waterway was the Kaiser Will helm Canal Finding q new name undoubtedly will be the least of the troubles concerning it's future status. The name kiel by which it is gener- ally known, is somewhat misleading. Though the canals eastern terminus is in kiel harbor, it is nearly two miles north of the, city of kiel, at Holtenau. From that point it ex- tends to Brunsbuttel on the Elbe cut ting across the base of the peninsula which contains Denmark and most Of SchlesWig- -Holstein.
 Naval Importance to Germany.
 The canals naval importance arose from the fact that it saved about 200 miles in the passage from the erst- while kaiser's chief naval port, at kiel, to the advance post of Ger nlany'S naval defenses. at Helgoland.
 Though Kiel presented no such en- gineering difficulties as the construc- ton of the Panama Canal, the two arc comparable in some dimensions. The kiel canal is about 60 miles long, that at Panama a fraction more than 40.. kiefS width, after it's recOnStruc- ton, completed in 1914, was 335 feet at the surface and IA feet at the bot tom with ;t depth of 36 feet. The Panama Canal has a min imum bot tom width Of 300 feet. an average of 649 feet, and a minimum depth of fl feet.
