THE THEATRE

1t is graduation day at college, and
the. pampered son of millionaire re-
turns home. His millionaire father,
who owns a string of soap factories
figures up in a detailed account, just
what his son has cost him since his
birth and arrives at total of two
hundred ninety-three thousand dol
lars. The father starts his boy to
work in one Of his factories, making
soap. But the young man gives up
his job. This is the situation that
starts all the complications in ut
Pays to Advertise" a new Para
mount-Artcraft picture starring Bry-
ant Washburn, which will be shown
at the Idlehour theatre next Sunday
For a while residents and business
men in Chicago got quite curious over
new brand of soap which was ad-
vertised extensively on billboards all
over the city. A man couldn't go
down the street without finding a
handful with the words THIRTEEN
SOAP-UNLUCKY FOR DIRT"
printed in large letters on the top of
the sheet.
After while it came to light that
Bryant Washburn, and his company,
were there taking exterior scenes for
the stars new picture, ut Pays to
Advertise" and that all this advertis-
ing was put up to be filmed in the
picture.
This is said to be one of the most
delightful light comedy vehicles in
which Mr. Washburn has yet appear
ed The action is filled with spark
ling comedy and the climax is a
triumph for the truth of the we'll
known slogan. A delightful romance
runs throughout the story. Lois
Wilson is leading woman. Others in
the cast are Frank Currier, Walter
HERS, Clarence Geldhart, Guy Oliver
and Julia Haye.
The Regent
"The Thunderbolt," starring Kath-
crime Mcdonald, will be seen at the

This is the first picture Of this stars
to be released through First National
Exhibitors Circuit. It tells the story
of girl forced into a loveless marri-
age with her most bitter enemy.
Eastern critics have praised it highly.

attorneys for the defense are unable
to state accurately how long they will
be occupied in taking out their tosti-
mony. three days is the estimate
With the pleas and charges it will
probably be Thursday at least of next
week before the case goes to the jury.
The defense is not certain of the num-
Der of witnesses whom they will use
as both the state and defense have
summoned, in some instances, the
same witnesses. When used by the
state in direct testimony the defense
takes out its testimony through the
cross examination. In the meantime
John A. Burke sits in his chair at
the bar and while keenly alive to the
incidents transpring he does not
seem nervous nor fearful of the out

gan Opera House by State Superin-
tendent of Schools DR.. A o. Thomas

Nation. He touched upon the ques-
ton OF salaries and the necessity of
young people preparing for the work,
expecting the people to take care Of
the instructor. He urged sympathe-
tie cooperation with the teachers on
the part Of the parents and spoke
upon newer ideals in education. He
gave the wage OF the average teach
or in elementary grades as SIS week
SO weeks to the year He then told
OF the teachers leaving the profess
sions for more remuneratiye work
and referred to the young people not
attending normal schools and colleges
At the present time. DR.. Thomas
stated that there were only fifty
even men in the high schools of the
state outside of the principals. He
rehearsed what the towns have al
ready done in the line of more ade-
qaate compeusations. He also told
interesting facts with regard to the
cost of the schools and the proportion
OF municipal taxes which goes to sup
pofi The schools.

pan under the auspices of the Open

cinity of the bullet holes fired into

then proceeded to have examinations
made from the immediate vicinity
where the bullet was shot into Burke's

attorney for the defense until further
examination had been made EXami-
nations were then continued by the
state from scrapeings taking else
