Boxing Contest
On Labor Day

Charles Morris, superintendent of
the Mexican mill at Virginia City,
Wyman Evans. of the Virginia & Gold
Hill Water Company, and Frank Quirk
also from the Comstock, comprised a
fishing party that spend Saturday and
Sunday on the Carson River In the
vicinity of Indart's ranch. They all
made fair catches despite the muddy
river and felt satisfied with their out
ing. In speaking of conditions regard
ing the "old camp" they were en-
thusiastic boosters and declare the
celebration to be given there on La
Dor Day will eclipse anything OF its
kind that has been staged in this Sec

are already working upon an automo-
bile endurance test over a short
course. possibly between Silver City
and the Comstock which would pro-
vide a real hill-climbing test for the
cars entered and would create state
wide interest. Other features pro-
posed at this time, although 1t was
stated by the visiting Comstockers
that plans to date were only tentative,
include two main boxing contests for

Wanted--Recipe
For Catching Fish

ISHING ON the Carson river
1 is attracting many parties
In their leisure moments, and al
though for the past few days the
stream has been EXTREMITY high
and muddy, owing to freshets
during the end of last week,
some good catches are reported.
One naturally is told of those
who have been lucky or scien-
tific ~ enough to come home
and enter the family wickiup in
glory and unafraid. But we
wonder what the other fellows
do-if there are any besides
ourselyes--to determine whether
or not it is safe to enter If one
happened to be in the wrong
part of the stream and is
forced to return like the prodi-
gal son-sunburned, hungry, and
the possessor of nothing but a
bad excuse?

Beban
AtRex Sunday

"One Man In a Million" the new
Robertson-Cole super-special release,
which has been heralded throughout
the country as the greatest drama the
public has ever witnessed will be seen
at the Rex theatre Sunday. George
Beban, whose reputation as a charac-
ter actor is international, is in the
leading role. 1t took just one solid
year to make this wonderful film, Mr.
Beban personally doing all the work
Of production and direction after he
had written the story. The result OBJ
tanned justified the time spent.
Several years ago while appearing
in his extraordinary stage and screen
success The Sign of the Rose" Mr..
Beban conceived the idea for "One
Man In a Million.
In the story of the picture we find
Mr.. Beban In the character of kind
hearted and humble Italian whose
mission on earth seems to be the
spreading Of happiness. Throughout
the film the kindly theme is carried
In clever and convincing manner. 1t
was Mr. Beban's idea to spread the
code of happiness without making his
picture preachment and with the aid
OF comedy situations mingled with
his highly dramatic moments, he has
succeeded admirably 20
) Humans alone are not entirely re-
sponsible for the success of "One Man
In a Million" The author fully real
izing the value of animals as a medium
of conveying ideals, has enlisted the
aid OF very funny parrot and a score
or more of the most frolicsome dogs
you have ever seen. You'll have to
see the picture to realize just how
wise these dumb" actors are.
Equally as clever as the story and
the star is the cast which appears in
support. Included are Helen Jerome
Eddy, Irene Rich, Lloyd Whitlock
George Williams, Jennie Lee, Wade
Botoler. and George Beban. Jr. This
Beban, Jr., Is the five-year-old son of
the star and his daddy better watch
out, for he is fast developing into one
of the best actors in the silver sheet.
