AMERICAN LEGION AP-
PRECIATES COOPERATION

The members of the local camp of
TIE American Legion are going to do
everything possible to make the big
celebration on the fourth and fifth a
success They have given out the
following statement this week;
"The business men of Clovis are
heartily endorsing the American Le-
gion in planning for their gigantic
celebration on the 4th and 9th Of
July, and believe it to be one of the
greatest events ever staged in the
Magic City.
"They are heartily behind it in each
and every phase. 1t is the opinion Of
the business men that such attractions
as this are properly staged by the
younger generation, Of which the
American Legion is largely composed,
allowing the older men more time to
devote to the more serious affairs,
those affairs requiring deliberation
and experience, yet allowing no fea-
ture of our city to be sighted.
"The strongest form which their en-
dorsement has taken is the liberal
manner in which they are contribut-
ing to the advertising fund which is
being raised by the American Legion
for the purpose Of scattering broad
cast over a wide section Of the coun-
try, the information that Clovis Is
going to stage one of the biggest
cleanest and best 4th of July celebra.
tions ever presented by any city
throughout the entire southwest"

NAZ|MOVA THRILLS
 LARGE AUDIENCES
 AT RIAL LTO THEATER

Nazimova, the incompatible, sup ported by Rudolph Valentino, the screens greatest lover, continues as the Rialto's feature attraction. pre- senting Metros 1921 version of Alex ander Dumas immortal love story Camille ''
 Throughout the entire day and evening yesterday the house of ex- ceptional features was tf1ronged with the most enthusiastic audiences. Nothing but the highest praise was heard on all sides for the great artis- try displayed. by the famous star in this, conceded her greatest emotional contribution to the screen.
 Metro has achieved a double suc- cess in releasing this feature In the first place, it is the answer to the insistent cry from the picture devo- tees of the nation to offer Nazimova in the role made famous by the greatest feminine stars of the stage. In the second place. it brings to the screen a production of Camille" greater than anything ever seen on either the silent or speaking stage a modern version-brought right to the environment of the present, with settings, gowns and effects that add an appeal that serves to accentuate the hold this renowned love story has always exercised-though it has been before the public for years.
 Nazimova, wonderful as the nation has become accustamed to seeing her, reveals a phase of her art never be- fore possible in any of her former triumphs. Her emotional scenes are positively inspiring. As the woman of many moods, Nazimova truly lives the role. She is at once whimsical and a woman of the deepest char acter. She is tickle and constant she is debonnaire and simple-sfe is extravagant and thrifty--she is bold and retiring-no artist save one of the limitless art of this great Rus sian actress could have achieved the registration which greets the re- viewer in a witnessing Of the produc- ton which the Rialto is screening for today and tomorrow.
 And in Rudolph Valentino. she has an Armand" worthy of her portrai- ture of "Camille.' Valentino is es- tablished with picture goers every where. His work in ''The Sheik'' and "The Four Horsernen" brought him national fame, and he adds another feather to his cap of laurels in the principal male role in this immortal love classic.
 Everyone is familiar with the story of "Camille"-but it will hold an l added interest after one sees the | classic done by Nazimova and Val | entino.
