Minot has not as yet attained The
size of Chicago but it has a reputa
ton of having the biggest heart fol
housing and entertaining conventions
and all Osterdoler wishing to favor US
with visit to this meeting will be
heartily welcomed.
We have a large auditorium in oul
new high school building, large hall
in the Sons of Norway building and
other halls for the meetings.
We have beautiful parks along the
Mouse river with flowers and lawns
and driveways. In one Of these parks
we can proudly point to the most
complete zoo in the state. Among
the species you will notice bear, buff
falo, deer, wolves, fox, apes and
many other wild animals and birds.
The program will be announced by
the officers at later date. 1t can be
stated, however, that prominent
speakers and musicians will entertain

One auto trip through the city of
Minot and vicinity has been provided

boat on the Mouse river.
Not to be forgotten is the banquet
at the Association Of Commerce hall,
when Remmegrod and lefse, mountain
trout and many Scandinavian spe-
cialties will be served. 1t would be
desirable if those PLANNING to come
would communicate with one of the
undersigned about one week in ad-
vance in order to enable US to reserve
proper hotel accommodations.
We ought to forget our daily wor
ries and troubles for a few days and
gather together once year to re-
fresh our memories from our beloved
Osterdal, where we first saw light and
where we as children played and
sang, wept and laughed-shake hands
with old friends, meet new ones and
perhaps strengthen the chains hold
ing future generations.
Welcome the annual meeting.

of the Frolic 1t is scheduled for Mon

of most highly amusing as well as
one of most unusually novel affairs

The doughnut dance is something
that is going to afford no End of fun
for the contestants as well as a
rousing round of lau Shter and fun
for the onlookers. The idea of the
doughnut dance is a modernization of
the old tournament days when
knights of old met at the tilt for SUI
premacy in catching the small rings
suspended from frames on points of
spears while riding at breakneck
speed astcide spirited chargers. In
the version which will be presented
at Frolic next Monday night dough-
nuts will take the place of the little
rings and dancing viii take place of
the chargers of the knights; the ring

and that's what VIII determine the
winners. Prices will be offered the

At STRAND TODAY

For an engagement of just today

adaptation of Sir Gilbert Parkers
novel, ''The Translation of a Savage"
Already having scored one of the
greatest triumphs eve: reached by

miere tour of the country, Behold
My Wife" is right now duplicating
the same feat, it is one of the most
solidly booked pictures today, an at
tractien that is marking up new at
tendance figures.
The production is cited as the per-
feet motion picture. In it's deep dra-
matte moments 1t is logical and con-
yincing, never resorting to cheap
melodranatics but rather telling in
highly appealing way story re-
uiarkable for its depth and scope
Unusual, thrilling and gripping, Be

He is a stakeholder in the Hudson

his heart, in a fit of drunken rage,
he buys and marries~ Lala. daughter
of an Indian chief. He then sends
the illiterate Indian girl to the heart
of London society as his wife. His
revenge is complete and he gives him
self over to the downward path. In
London the women treat the girl
coldIy, but Richard, cripple brother of
Frank, learns to love her, keeping his
feelings to himself. knowing she is
Franks wife. He begins a course of

Coming direct from a three week
run at the Kinema in Los Angeles,
Bebe Daniels latest picture, The

morrow at Mauk's Columbia theater
is one of the peppiest, jaZziest com

furnishes a new idea In screen stories.
Those who have read w. B. Maxwell s
novel of the same name will instantly
realize in the announcement of the
picturized version an entertainment
fraught with not only the greatest
possibilities in the matter of drama
tic excellence. but in daring, in bold
ness and startling discussion.
And such is the portraiture that
Lionel Barrymore contributes to the
cinema in the role of the principal
character in this stirring narrative.
And in every scene is he ably assisted
by the wonderful supporting cast
which First National has furnished
him. Mae McAvoy, Roris Rankin and
H. Cooper Cliffe each have wonderful
roles which they register in wonder
full style.
The story of the drama is one of a
William Dale, a man of uncontroll-
able passion and a terrible temper.
He has made his way in the world
solely through dominating spirit.
but when he allows his anger to get
the better of him on a government
position, it is then that he meets the
crisis But for his wife he would
have been ruined financially. The
sacrifice she made, one which the
husband when he learned it was not
willing to forgive, but on the contrary
he sought the man and put him to
death. Always there stood between
the man and his wife the charge of
infidelity. Cruel as it was, he was
uncompromising But he still failed
to see the faults in himself, and when
in later years there comes into his life
beautiful young girl, he realizes
that in this girl he faced the same
charge he was unable to forgive In
his wife. The age-old battle in mans
heart, fealty to one woman, or the
unleashing of the primitive love in
stincts-one man to one woman, or
the resignation to unrestrained pas
sion The man is torn between the
forces of life, he seeks the answer,
sends the girl away to work out the
problem alone, and in this phase OF
the story Lionel Barrymore brings to
the role without question the finest
exhibition of emotional registration
in his entire career ether on the stage
or screen.
