Country Boy Roles
Played By Charles
Ray All Different

People have fallen into the habit
of calling every picture in which
Charles Ray appears with a rustic
background a typical Ray picture"
and letting it go at that. This would
seem to indicate that the youthful
stars Characterization are largely all
alike, which is not true.
Mr.. Ray is one of the most versatile
stars of the screen. Reviewing some
of his most recent pictures reveals
the fact that that in the past year he
has appeared in such widely deversi-
fled roles as a prize fighter, a crack
baseball player a hotel clerk an ex-
pressman, bank clerk, son of poor
but honest parents a son of rich but
u1scrGrulous parents, an English
aristocrat and finally, detective.
He has the last named part in his
newest Thomas ii. Ince picture, "A
Village Sleuth,' in which he will be
seen at the Eagle theatre Friday and
Sunday.
Mr.. Ray is small town lad with
ambitions to become a great detective,
and, securing position as chore
boy in a rest sanitarium, he unex-
pectedly is given an opportunity to
show his sleuthing ability. And
makes good. Jerome Storm directed
the picture, which is a Paramount
release, and Wihifred Westover is the
leading woman.

Sensational Racing
Film, The Handicap,
Coming During Week


The Handicap sensational
racing drama with Violet Hopson in
the stellar role, is the announced at
traction at the Lyric for Saturday.
The picture, described as "a red
blooded story of the turf mixed with
the blue blood of Europe deals with
the adventures of an American turf
man who goes to England in search
of new honors for the colors of his
racing stable and while there against
intrigue, conspiracy and general OPP
position wins several classic racing
events and the girl of his choice, Il
young English debutante, much
sought after by leading member of
the English nobility.
The scenes are all laid on the his
toric course of EPSON Downs, in the
English town of EPSON and are fill
ed with action, thrills and sensation
al riding, such as is seldom seen in
the average racing picture of today.
The cast supporting Miss Hopson
headed by Stewart Rome, is an unus-
ually excellent one and the picture
on the whole is superior to anything
in its class seen here to date.

quiet subtlety of method that con-
vinced him the slapstick actor would

Of straight comedy.
1t was the same sort of discrimina-
tiOn that led Maxwell Karger to take
Alice Lake from slapstick work into

ma for Metro. Or, to take a striking
instance from the stage, it was the
sort of selective power shown by Bel.

from slapStick to play in 1.-The Auc-

Buster Keaton has been a member
of the theatrical world since he was
five years old, when he started on the

years in vaudeville, playing all over

Lionel Barrymore
In master Mind" ,
Featured Tuesday

Lionel Barrymore, the distinguishes
American actor, has made several
notable contributions to the screen,
but, it is said. he has given his best
performance in his latest photodrama,
The Master Mind, which is the first
of series of his productions to be
released by the Associated First Ma
tIonal and which is booked to be
shown ut the Lyric Theatre, Tuesday.
According to the advance Informal
ton THE Master Mind is a photo
play replete with Numerous situations
classed as ultra-gripping. In fact it
is claimed the suspense and conse-
quent keen interest are so well main
tanned up to the very end, that whole
audiences are held speechless. Many
are the motion pictures, of this day,
that afford plenty of moments in
which one can divert his attention
from it long enough to chat a little
with a companion oftentimes to the
annoyance of others, but not neces-
sarily causing any loss, so far as
missing part of q picture is con.
cerned.

Every race has an original and

That is why minstrel shows are al

BEAUTIFUL GAMBLER"
AT LYRIC TOMORROW

Although Grace Darmond, VINO Is
featured in the Universal production,
THE Beautiful Gambler" coming to
the Lyric Theatre, Monday, is one OF
the most radiant beauties of the
screen and adds dignity and distinc-
ton to the most gorgeous costumes,
she chooses roles in which she can
wear Bingham frocks and cotton
stocking, rather than be decked out
like a Partisan rainbow
In the opening scenes of the THE
Beautiful Gambler" which is from the
pen of that well-known writer of
Western stories, Peter b. Kyne, Miss
Darmond is the youthful daughter OF
profligate who wastes his last dollar
at the gaming table. In these scenes
the actress wears the very simple gar
ments of poor girl, and she felt hap
pier in those clothes than in the later
scenes. when she was arryed like the
lily of the field.

SOLAR SYSTEM
OFF SCHEDULE,
SAYS PROFESSOR

SWarthmore, Pa, Dec, so (by the
Associa ted Press. )-Something is
wrong with the solar system, Dr.
Ernest w. Brown, head of the
mathematics department of Yale
university, told members of the
American Astronomical society in
session today at Swarthmore col
lege. Either the earth's rate of
rotation is glowing down or the
moon is moving faster. This con-
clusion was reached by Professor
Brown when he observed that the
days are becoming longer
This fact, long suspected and now
verified beyond reasonable doubt,
the Yale mathematician declared,
need not be taken into account in
the daily life of laymen because it
amounts to less than one-thou-
sandth of a second a year. How
ever, he declared, it is decidedly an
noying to men of science, who base
their calculations on the regularity
Of the various units of the solar
system. He said that he had spent
a number of years mapping the
course Of the moon for several
hundred years and had compiled Il
table of the moons orbit. But, ap-
parently, the moon was not fol-
lowing the schedule and he threw
his mass ct investigations into the
waste basket.

COVE RNMENT To
RENE: W CONT RACT
Of MINES school.
Summer Contract of State
School of Mines is lnveS-
tigated and Found Sound;
Profiteering Charge False

| According to a letter from e. II.
Wells, president of the New Next
co school of mines, the recent de-
cision of Director C. r. Forbes, of
the U. S. Veterans bureau, to the
effect that the schools contract
with the government was with
drawn until investigation of alleged
"profiteering" has been nullified,
and the school is once more accred-
tied as a training center by the gov
eminent.
The action of the Veterans bu-
reau arose from a report by the
Associated Press that the school
had been profiteering on the gov
eminent. This report contained
| information indicating that during
the summer period Of training, only
two students were present, for
whom a monthly payment of not
less than $S25 was to be made, UNI
der a clause in the contract. The
latest information reveals that in
stead of two men, the average at
tendance of students at the summer
session was around nineteen, and
the average monthly cost of the in
dividual students to the bureau was
$37.24, instead Of $412,50.
After getting the true figures,
| Director Forbes cancelled his orig
inal decision with regard to the
Modification of the contract, and
approved the special summer con-
tract with the school of mines.
Letters received by Mr. Wells
from Director Forbes at Washing
ton, and from I. NJ. Ristine, acting
chief of the rehabilitation at Den.
yer bureau, included assurances or
the renewal of the contract, and
expressions of regret that mis-
Interpretation of the terms Of the
agreement should have occurred.
