"On Sunday morning I shall preach the word of God in this very hell hoel of sin-I shall conduct divine services in this saloon

Some of the men snick- cred, and even those who had seen hi mwhip Ben Grant, the bully who controlled the town. shook their heads doubtingly.
 But Ryan did preach a sermon on Sunday morning. Eagle" Ryan, the man whose aversion to belief in God had prompted him to openly deN the Creator to master him, spoke with an eloquence that surprised even him. self-an eloquence that swayed that crowd of rough men as nothing else ever did. He went straight to their hearts with a story of his own youth, spent in a reform school, and he found in their enthusiastic response that joy which comes with a knowl- edge of power.
 For the moment he forgot his aver sio nto belief in God, forgot abou

AUDIENCES DELIGHTED WITH
 CLEVER MARTIN PHOTOPLAY

Clever twists and surprises are a feature of "The Third Kiss" the latest Paramount-Artcrart photoplay starring Vivian Martin. which is booked for the Eagle theatre next Saturday. To reveal what these un. expected developments are would spoil half the pleasure for the mul- titude of folks who are sure to wit ness the picture Suffice it 70 say that Miss Martin, pretty as she is in her factory girl costume. is not quite what she seems.
 And the screen lovers who view the film are sure to like it all the more when the big surprise is sprung and she reveals her identity. The Third Kiss is said to be the most delightful picture in which the pop ular little star has yet appeared. It was adapted from novelette, which appeared recently in popular mag. azine. Robert Vignola directed Mss Martin, as he has done in all of her recent successes.

It is doubtiui any Ill Ion pictu- e was ever awaited with as much in- terest and anticipation in Bisbee as Majesty, The American" which will be the attraction at the Lyric theatre, next Thursday and Friday.
 Something more than mere interest in a motion picture lies back of this anticipation, for His Majesty, the American" is Douglas Fairbanks first independent production and marks the first release of United Artists Corporation, the so-caiied Big Four"
 In January of 1919 the entire amusement world was startled by the formation of the United Artists As sociation. This association was formed by Mary Pickford. Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and D. w. Griffith. These artists, conceded throughout teh world to be the screens foremost producers, after having released their pictures for a number of years through various dis tributinC companies decided that to assure their best work and in order to have full indeDendence for the highest expression of their art, they would. upon the completion of their then existing contracts, release their own pictures. direct to the theatres of the country.
 This move for independence by the foremost artists of the screen Is the most important and beneficial steD picture business since it assumed it's leadership in the amusement field
 It means for the motion picture pa irons that Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin. Douglas Fairbanks and D. w. Griffith will hereafter be enabled to produce pictures in their own way.
 They will make fewer pictures than they have made before. and this in itself will be an advantage. Hereto fore they have been obliged to turn out a certain number of productions within a given period and conseduent- ly have not always had the time to perfect their work.
 Thus. under the leadership of the screens foremost artists is the per- lection of motion picture entertain ment in sight.
 The first picture made under these ideal conditions is His Majesty. the American" The management of the Lyric Theatre feels great pride in having secured this production for it's

"Jubilo," with Will Rogers In the title role, is the screen attraction at the Central theatre next Friday and Saturday and at the Eagle Sunday and Monday.
 Ben Ames Williams story appeared as a serial in the Saturday Evening Post and Goidwyn Pictures secured the screen rights. as they believed the role of the principal chaarcter would fit their star like glove.
 And Will Rogers Is credited with giving such masterly characteriza- has firmly established himself as a screen star of the highest calibre.
 When this homely rowing hobo was forced to arise from his slumber in the field simply because the sun was shining in his eyes, he is mystified to see a train robbery occur not less than & quarter of mile away. He noted in particular that the leader of the band rode black and white horse.
 At noon of the same day he applies for a meal at a ranch and Is refused unless he works for 1t. After catch nig a view of the rancher's pretty daughter making an appetizing pie he breaks the habit and rule of life time and actually performs manual labor. And then he sees horse in the barn that he is convinced was used by the leader of the train rob bers.
 He stays on the job and becomes a producer. There is some excitement around the ranch also. The boss was forced to thrash him one day and on another occasion the hobo administer ed severe punishment to a young rel- low in the nearby town after hearing him talk about the rancher's daugh- ter.
 This picture is described as possess ing the essential human appeal that is the supreme mark of greatness in a photoplay.

Thrilling Wreck
 Staged in Scene
 For Strong Film

The question of how far train just what a coach will withstand when an express crashes through a decayed bridge is answered in "The Juggernaut' which will be shown at the Central theatre Monday and at the Eagle, Tuesday.
 The climax of this picture is mammoth wreck scene staged at great expense. Tn the first place To- cation finders had to find an aban- doned road that fitted the descrip- tion written in the script.
 When the location was found, nego- tiations had to be entered into to se- cure the use of it for the purpose of and several coaches had to be pur- chased outright
 f Then came the most difficult part. The company must give a bond that human life would not be endangered in the staging of this disaster. Every Ssfety device known had to be in- stalled. The camera men must be protected from the flying debris. The company and director had to be sheltered close to the scene that not a minute be lost in making the film.
 It is in such scenes as this that Ralph Ince shines. He arranged every detail in such thorough man. ner that there was not a mishap.
 X scene like this cannot be re- hearsed. Once the wreck occurs it is an end to it as far as that particular location is concerned and so there can be no mistakes. The record must be final.
 Realizing the importance of getting every detail. Ralph Ince had seven cameras stationed on the ground. Each recorded a different angle of the disaster. The result was seven different wrecks. Each camera re- corded all that occurred and there was not a foot of bad film.
 Back at the studio experts joined the seven different versions of the same wreck in manner that made complete visualization of all that oc- cured. The film was edited by Mir and Mrs. George Randolph Chester.
 Anita Stewart shines in this film. She has a very dramatic role and is supported by cast of all-star play CTS.

NORTH AND SOUTH
 CHINA ARE UNITED
Proclamation for Reunion ot Two Sections Has Been Is-
 sued By the President

Picking, December ts.--A proclamation of the reunion of North and South Pe- king has just been issued by President Hsu Shih-chang. The mandate orders the various provincial authorities to ex- ert themselves to the end that the demo- cratic government may be promoted, and announces that the republic will hence- forth be united"
 The proclamation is practically coinci- dent with declaration from Canton by Tsen Chen-hsuan and others of the "ex- ecutive committee of the southern mii- tary government" announcing the dis solution of the government and cancella- tjon of the independence of the south west provinces.
 The reunion mandate loses much of it's force due to the fact that another inde- pendent faction is in control of the ter ritory which the military government relnqushes. and that the signars of the Canton declaration immediately boarded British steamer to escape the in coming troops of the opposition faction. Also leaders of the Cantonese faction deny the right of Tsen Chun-hstan, Gen. Bu Yung-ting and Mu Yung-hsien, of the Kwangsi party. to dissolve the military government
 The Peling government however, ap- pears to have hopes that these other fac tons can be concliated, Coupled with the reunion mandate the President issued an instruction to the ministry of the in terior to bring about the election of a new Parliament of the republic.

HALLE UNTOUCHED
Is Only Part of Germany Going Along
 As in Pre-War Days
By Associated Press

Halle, Germany, November 15.--The old. rich. propertied German aristocra- icy has held it's own through war and revolution here, as perhaps In no other part of the new republic. Great es- ttates and numberless tenants. huge fac tories and famous salt mines keep the pre-war customs and conditions vir- tually unchanged
 Only the flaming posters of bolshev- ism and the placards calling young communists" to meetings indicate that the spirit of unrest is working for the overthrow of the old order. The cry fact that conditions here are much the same as they were before the war ap- parently has contributed to the in.ensi- ty with which the radicals have begun their campaign for "a dictatorship or the proletariat."
 The shops are filled with select .oods and fine clothes. but the prices gre very high and wages still are low. The ishopkeepers say their trade is almost entirely with the rich, old families snd the farmers. who have won prosp s.ity through the changes following the War l--the high price of farm produce and the depreciation of the mark. whi ,h has permitted many to pay mortgages once lccnsidered an everlasting obliga -ion. Day laborers. factory workers and the tenants have no money for luxr1ies and barely enough to buy necessari as.
 German communists refer to Halle as ''The Red Heart of Germany and say the issue between the bourgeoiss aid the proletariat is here more cle irly drawn than even in the more conse@va- tive sections of Prussia.
