In- cluded in the cast are such artists as: Milton Sills, Charles Cleary, Lawson Butt. Naomi Childers. Iren ? Rich, Alex Francis and Lydia Yea mans Titus. Edward Lowe wrote the scenario.

 IS FEATURE OF TOWN

SCOTIA, Cal, Nov. 10.-A com munity motion picture theatre where patrons vote on plays to be presented and the profits are di- vded among the var:ous civic enter priscs, is 8 feature of this little town tucked away in the redwood forests of northern California.
 There is nothing makeshift or temporary about this project. The architect who designed one of the most widely Known theatres on the Pacific Coast was engaged to design this one, which. is built entirely or redwood with bark-clay tree trunks for porch posts, s.a tF
 The equipment is of the best and the lighting is so ingeniously work ed ,aut that a spectator could, if he would, read a newspaper during the orogress of the performance. Man agement is vested in a committee Club of Scotia, the head of the Scotia hospital and the head of the Scotia fire department. The last named organization, instead of play ing checkers in it's spare time, de- votes itself to furthering recreation al activities in Scotia: Hence it's ''cut" in the theatre proceeds, which gre divided three ways after deduct Ing interest in the investment and ] proper amount for depreciation. All patrons are invited to notify he committee as to what plGys and incidental music they most enjoy, the only suggestion of limitation being a request from the committee that we get the best there is. y Travel pictures and high and low comedy appear 10 be the favorites so far.
 Funds for the erection of the theatre and a site were provided by I local milling concern.
