THE CHALLENGE OF THE LAW '-R|ALT0 William Russell to Appear in Thrilling Story of Canadian
 Northwest

William Russell, in his latest William Fox production, The Challenge of the Law will be one of the big attractions at the Ralto this week. This story was written by E. Lloyd Sheldon, author of many successful photoplays, and was directed by Scott Dunlap
 This is q northwest Canadian story abounding in thrills and tense dramatic action. The popular star again has an excellent production, which will be thor oughly enjoyed by everybody who sees it.
 AS captain in the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. Russell puts up sin gle-handed fight to smash desperate band of fur smugglers; and this he does In typical Russell fashion. He leaves nothing to the imagination, but wades right in, accomplishes his mission. and in the end wins the girl whose love he already had won.
 It's rattling good picture, clean and wholesome. with plenty of good comedy and delightful love story--in fact an ideal photoplay of the sort generally la, belled western
 Helen Ferguson enacts the hes inc with delightful charm. and the rems snder of the cast is excellent. Denison Gift wrote the scenario and the picture was directed by Scott Dunlap.

Romance of the Automobile

From LeSlies.
 Twenty-Five years ago there were n America only four automobiles. One of these was in circus, while an- other was on exhibition as mech ini- cal freak.
 Today there are 5000 000 automo- piles in use in Am merica. Eight hun dred and fifty thousand of these are trucks
 Iowa and Nebraska have an automo- bile for evrey six people. On any given Sunday the whole population could go joy riding
 There is one car in the United States for every II people. The rest of the world has to worry along with enc car for every 2,830.
 These stupendous figures kindle the imasination. They are the manifesto of q social and economic revolution.
 First of all, they mean the invest ment of billions of dollars In a new ;n> dustry, thus shifting the economic een- ter of gravity to new point. necessi- tating many important financial and industrial readjustments.
 Then they mean good roads which one fact is calculated to change our whole merchandising and transporta- ton system and at the same time pro-

SARTOR|A[ DISPLAY
 AT MARCUS SHOW Gowns, Stunnin gand Daring, Feature Show of 1920 Con-
 ing to Jefferson

While men folks, no doubt, will visit the Marcus Show of 1920, during it's en- gagement at the Jefferson Tuesday and Wednesday, February l and 9 with spe- cial matinee Wednesday, to see what the myriad of costumes have in them, their female companions will with equally as little question go into ecstasie5 over the superb sartorial creations themselves.
 Misses Bee Wnsome, Ruth Elmore, Charlotte Allen, Florence Lawrence, Ed na Quirk, Lulu Swan, Mile. Loletta and the famous Marcus Peaches promise to display somewhat over a thousand stun ming habiliments, ranging from the ultra gorgeous and enveloping effects of gold and silver worn by Miss Winsome in the prologue to the scanty nipples of light which protect the votaries of the goddess in "Birth of venus,' from the minis trations of the constabulary.
 Over $100,000 has been expended in mak- ing the Marcus Show an exhibition of supreme opulence. transcending any pre- vious effort at stage investiture. Full three-quarters of the vast sum found it's way to the master modistes of New York and Paris.
 Miss Winsome alone wears nine dir- ferent creations. Her orchid dress IS Parisian importation of hand-painted de- sign. Brides past and to-be will delight in Miss Winsomes delicate trouaseau re- vealed In Goodbye, Bachelor Days Miss Winsome's rival for stunning dis play is Miss Fillmore, whose gowns make one wonder little. at the Marcus outlay for feminine decoration.
 In the 2 musical numbers the Marcus Peaches will be seen to advantage in wardrobe as beautiful as it is daring.

Do you believe in life after death? Are you spirltualist-or a materialist? The materaiist says, Time is passing. Death Will soon end all. Let us then destroy the existing order and share the good things of this world.s' AS basu King expresses it in his great photo-drama "Earthbound," the creed or the materialist is mo God, no sin, no fu- ture hfe-nothing but the survival of the Ilttest, and every man for himself Inrough the lives of three men and a woman he pictures the bitter fruitage of this creed. even beyond the veil
 Basil King is spiritualist. He was formerly an Episcopal clergyman He believes with Tennyson, T can hardly understand how any great, imaginative man, who has deeply lived, suffered, thought and wrought, can doubt of the souls continuous progress in the after life"
 Many who see "Earthbound'' will recall Victor Hugo's glad cry, Death is not the dreary finish to life; it is it's pro- longation; my work is only begun
 One of the great scenes in Basil King s 'Earthbound'' is on the broad stairway in the lobby of a wealthy and exclusive club. Gen. Jack Pershing saw this scene taken when he was at the Goldwyn stu dio in Culver City.

 The human element enhances the race because everybody wants to see little Tim, the heroic Jockey, bring Aunt Abigails horse, Cold Molasses' home in front for the simple reason that the win ming purse will pay off the mortgage held by a money-lending old skin flint who has threatened to throw Aunt Abi- gail and her sweet Attle ward out of their home.
 Tourneur has pictured all these everlts faithfully and set the action against a background of charm and beauty. It is one of those simple, appealing stories that never fail to enlist the sympathy and interest of all

As is quite well known. this produc- tion is founded upon the famous rural racing drama of the same title which Neil Burgess made an institution upon the speaking stage when he played 1t with great and increasing success for many seasons all over the country.
 On the stage there were hints and in cidents which set off the simple lives and methods of a typical New England farm community. But in the picture ver- sion 1t is all presented with a realism that embraces every aspect of the plays suggested possibilities. The scenes show ing the county fair are exact duplica- tions of this American institution.
 It is as if the audience were visiting a fair and taking part in the festivities. Westley Barry chases greased pigs and climbs the slippery pole and the others enter into the sports and the excitement. The oriental dancers delight the bucoiic onlookers and the popcorn vendors and the lemonade makers are as real as if you hear the shrill cries of the bankers boosting their wares. And then comes the climax when the thoroughbred

Greasing the Ways of Service

Arthur H. Little. in Leslies.
 Have you ever stood in line, waiting to buy pair of theatre tickets? Have you ever waited. hungrily, in the door way of public dining room for 2 place at table? Have you ever tried to get room in a hotel or berth in a Pullman or phone connection in a hurry? If you have done any of these things, then probably you have been the victim of a greaser of the ways of service. Some one with a ready wit, an ingenious imagination, or maybe quick-triggered purse, has slipped in ahead of you.
 Sometimes sheer nerve plus ingenuity is the lubricant Sometimes it's merely the use of a name-the nationally known name of an individual, or a company, or an institution.
 Nowadays the wise traveller, on the road for a big concern, doesn't sign his own name to the message when he telegraphs ahead for hotel reservations. He signs the name of his company. Generally this expedtent has it's psych- ological effect
 And then, of course, among the lubri- cants of service, there. is money. Money judiciously used is wonderfully effec- tive. The difficulty is to know how much to use and upon whom and how.
 The few hotels in the country that operate on the on-tip plan are so rare that they need not be considered. The management of the average hotel knows that the employees frequently are asked to give special service, that frequently this special service is given and that usually the employe concerned therein is specially rewarded therefor. Upon the special service practice the average hotel management frowns with disapproval--but what is the manage ment to do?
 In Rome do as the Romans do! That seems to be the only course--at least until the millennium comes. Use your head; if necessary use your nerve; and, as a last resort-and judiciously--use your pocketbook.

 The story revolves around the family of Jucklins and their neighbors in the rural districts of North Carolina. and the young school teacher, who, disliked and discouraged by his own people and his neighbors in Alabama, comes to board with the Jucklins and teach the country school Two delightful romances are developed, one of which leads to the supposed murder by Ali Juclxlin of his rival, after the latter makes sighting remarks about his girl.
