Hippodrome Allegory
Jars Nerves of Minnesota
Capital; Suit Threatened

typical instance of the close civic
competition and rivalry between Amer
lcan cities has made itself known at
the Hippodrome through letter written
to Charles Dillingham; by the St. Paul
Association threatening legal action
against the Hippodrome unless the il
Illuminated lettering in the great map in
the Hall of Commerce scene in Good
Times" is changed to show St. Paul
instead of Minneapolis as the capital
of Minnesota.
II want to assure you" says the
letter, which is signed by Dan E.
Weigle, as general secretary of the St.
Paul Association, chat we have about
arrived at the conclusion that if, after
having the matter called to your at
tention, you persist in this damaging,
deliberate, malicious and willful mis-
representation, action will have to be
taken by our citizens to have it
stopped''
The scene of which St. Paul com
plains is an industrial. scene in which
the al'egorical mare of tire producing
nations in the world is pictured, and
no attempt was made at the Hippo
drome to show the capital of each
state. Instead, a colored light was
shown on the map location of the most
important business or industrial city.
For Minnesota, Minneapolis with it's
rank as eighteenth in population and
its great milling Industries particular
ly was regarded as more important
than St. Paul, the thirtieth city, and
exceeded in population by Minneapolis
by about 100000, according to the last
Federal census. Letters from various
town-boosting org ni2ation' have beer
received at the Hippodrome by the
dozen this winter asking that the
names of their particular cities be
given a place in the sun, to mix the
metaphor, on the Hippodromes big
map.
The st. Paul incident recalls one of
the laughable events of Mr.. Dilling
hams production of "Hip Hip Hooray."
In that spectacle one of the features
was q march of the states, in whicf
the character representing each state
bore some symbol characterizing that
state. The girl representing Nevada,
where divorce is most popular, carried
several dolls representing men on a
string More than hundred self
conscious letters poured in from one
of the Southern states protesting
against "an insult to the fair name Of
the fairest land of the South" The
Southerners thought the Nevada girl
represented Southern state and that
the figures on the string were intended
to remind the state of its lynching
procliyities.

the Playhouse Company, stand out dis
tlnctivel y, presenting plays of a high
standard
1t was with "The New York Idea"
that Miss George established her COM
pany III New York. When she assumed
the direction of the Playhouse she an
nounced she would give series of
plays that she thought worth while
plays to afford real entertainment for
intelligent theatergoers, who are not
always considered by the regular pro-
ducers. Plays of that sort were not
abundant. Miss George concluded to
put on THE New York Idea" which
Mrs. Fiske had produced once, but
which Broadway had never appreciated.
Here was an opportunity to lift from
the shelf a good play, brilliant play,
of the sort too seldom written. After
carefully selecting a supporting cast
OF artists that was above the average
she opened the play and won instant
success. Here was a personal triumph
such as she had never won before in
her various years of stardom. And her
company, her whole enterprise, New
York took to its heart
Miss George continued at the Play
house for one season putting on "The
Liars" "Major Barbara" "The Earth"
and captain Brassbound's Conversion"
At the conclusion of the New York en-
gagement she took her company for a
tour of the principal cities.
Last season Miss George appeared in
New York and on tour in "The Ruined
Lady" comedy by Francis Nordstrom,
in which she won substantial success.
And now at the Playhouse, with her
series of matinee performances of "The
New Morality" Miss George is again
delighting those fond of the best the
theater affords

Buried Treasure l. Masterful
Screen Presentation of tbo
Old Theory of Reincarnation

Almost everybody has experienced
that unaccountable sensation that
the particular situation he is in at
that moment has happened once before
and that he will do now just exactly
as he did before, almost sensing
coming events in that he can almost
foretell what will happen next. 1t is
queer feeling and difficult to define,
and is one Of the experiences which
some investigators have used In trying
to solve the problem of reincarnation.
1t raises the question whether a
rerson's subconscious self indicates
through the phenomenon previous ex-
istence or q relationship with other
spheres.
The theory OF reincarnation has been
an interesting theme for writer's who
find in the mystic wide field for their
IMAGINATION. The possibilities of pre-
vious existence, blended with modern
story, offer a wide range for the
imaginative writer as we'll as striking
opportunity for photoplay presentation.
The screen is best adapted to present
an occult theme in its purest form, and
for that reason it was the silver sheet
which was first to present F. Britten
Austen's story, "Buried Treasure" the
COSMOPOLITAN production which Hugo
Riesenfeld will show at his Criterion
Theater for an extended engagement,
beginning to-day.
Mr.. Austen's story is an ideal one
for the screen inasmuch as 1t blends
with its pivotal theme, that Of rein
carnation, a series of events which
range from the Stone Age to modern
society The magnitude of the produc-
tion necessary for a just rendition OF
the story in dramatic form demanded
1l.z&
the stage could not present it with"
out limiting its scenic possibilities.
"Buried Treasure" is the first big pic
ture which has taken the reincarnation
theme and made it alive on the screen
in thrilling and varied scenes.
Marion Davies, the Cosmopolitan
star, plays the principal role in the
production, that of a bankers daugh-
ter. The choice of Miss Davies for
the role is 8 happy one because her
mobile beauty makes her an ideal
player in a part which demands por-
trayal of many types as the character

ASKS FOR AID FOR
NYE CO. INDIANS

Nye county has instituted move
ment to obtain federal relief for in
digent Indians without tribal affilia-
tions, according to letter received
yesterday by the assistant district
attorney of Washoe county, says
the Journal. The letter came from
District Attorney Dunn Of Nye
county and is one of many that
have been sent to district attorneys
in the state in regard to the situa-
ton. Data has been sent to the
Indian service urging that law be
proposed that would afford proper
protection for these wards Of the
state and government.
Following is Mr.. Dunn's letter:
1--WE of Nye county have for some
time been contributing to INDECENT
and poor citizen Indians and In
dams who have no tribal affiliations.
1t is placing quite burden upon
the county when properly we be-
lieve it is a case for relief from the
federal government. We have tried
through practically every available
source to get relief for these In
dams and have been unable to do so
for the reason that there are no
provisions in the federal statutes
for relief in such cases.

TOPAZ RESERVOIR
IS sAT|SF ACT0RY

Governor Boyle yesterday de-
clared that the construction at To-
paz Lake is up to the standards of
high class engineering and compare
very favorably with any work of
the kind in the west, says the Car
son News. While in the Topaz
country Friday, the governor and
J. G. Scrugham, state engineer, in
spected the work as members Of the
irrigation district bond commission.
A canal has been dug to convey
water from the Walker river to To-
paz lake, where 1t is being stored
for use in irrigating Lyon county
lands next and succeeding seasons.
The outlet from the reservoir-lake
is a tunnel 2100 feet long, lined
with reinforced concrete through
out. From the tunnel the water
will be conveyed back to the river
through ditch two miles long. The
tunnel is about nine by twelve feet.
The lake level has already been
raised to a point about three feet
above the tunnel floor, the governor
says, and is being held back from
the tunnel inlet by flash boards. The
inlet is equipped with a trash trap
consisting of steel girds. By raising
the water level fifty-eight feet above
the tunnel floor storage of $4,000
acre feet Of water will be possible
This would be sufficient to irrigate
about $4,000 acres of new land
but as old rights are to be supple.
mented with water from the reser'
voir the maximum reclamation acre
age will be somewhat lessened. The
cost will be low for the amount o.
storage possible, when compared
with similar undertakings, Governor
Boyle said.

SMALLPOX SCARE
IN EUREKA, NEW.

During the past week two more
cases Of smallpox were discovered
in Eureka. A. Moore and SON AL
Ian were found to be afflicted, and
the health officer quarantined the
premises. W. R. Reynolds, who has
had very serious attack, is now re-
ported to be improved, says the Eu-
reka Sentinel.
A large number of persons were
vaccinsted, and it is hoped that this
will check the advance of the dis
ease.
The manager of the Eureka thea
ire voluntarily consented to close
the moving picture shows in an eff
fort to prevent further spread of
the malady.
The public schools of Eureka are
still closed, and will doubtless re-
main so, until it is evident that no
more outbreaks will occur.
No quarantine has been placed on
the town and this step will not be
necessary unless the situation be-
comes serious. With reasonable pre-
caution on the part Of the popula-
ton, no extensive epidemic should
occur.
It has come to the attention OF
the health officer that social parties
are being held where considerable
numbers gather. The school and
picture shows are closed to avoid
such congregating and such prac-
tees will not be tolerated during
the presence of a serious contagious
disease in the community.
