dance
Laugh and grow fat; laugh and
grow thin" That's the way it works
with the clowns in the Howe's Great
London Circus and Van Amburg S
Trained Wild Animals, for there are
fat ones, thin ones, small ones, Tall
ones, pompous ones and meek ones,
but they are all laughing clowns and
they are selected to make Johnny ana
his papa and mama and big orotnef
and pretty sister laugh. II they don
make you laugh, they will make you
smile. At least anyone of them VIII

fill the rings and stages. There are
no dull moments afterward.

The Theatres
MURRAY.

MURRAY.
1t is doubtful if any real social
event at Newport, Palm Beach or
Fifth avenue ever displayed such an
array of youthful beauty and we'll
groomed masculinity as are to be seen
in THE Fighting Lover" the society
melodrama starring Frank Mayo, now
on view at the Murray theatre.
A magnificent estate at Santa Bar
bara, California, was secured for some
of the scenes in the Universal produc-
ton, while the annual horse show
was in progress at this popular Pa
cific resort. A prominent eastern so
ciety writer, who has reported the
doings of the four hundred from Bal
Harbor to Coronado, and who watched
the film folks with much interest
made the observation that the princi
pals in this screen feature outclassed
the real society crowd
MURRETTE.
Hands Off," in which Tom Mix
famous western star of the dancing
lariet and screaming gun. appeared al
the Murrette theatre last night, is q
drama that is calculated to please 9
great majority of picture lovers. It is
a William Fox production. The di
rector. George E. Marshall has takeI
William Mcleod Raine's story and by
adding a thrill here and there-where
the action requires Mix to be on tho
screen-has succeeded in turning ou
a photoplay of extraordinary force ant
attractiveness.
Action is what has made photoplays
popular and action plus tx personality
is what puts over Hands Off" TherS
is bank robbery IAN attempted lynch
ing, plenty of gun play and some dar
ing riding. But the real big punch o
the picture is the stampede of a vile
horse herd through the streets of ;
town, where Mix outrides the herd
and saves the little sister of the
heroine from the hoofs of the flyins
animals.

FAMOUS CIRCUS MAN
CAN HANDLE EACH ACT

Al. G. Barnes, who is bringing the
only exclusively wild animal circus
in the world to Richmond Friday, Aug.
II. is recognized among showmen as
an animal wizard" He has an un-
canny sense of knowing just how to
handle both the wild beasts and tie
domestic variety. That he has been
able to impart his knowledge to others
has added to his success and has re
suited IN his building up show that
started with two small wagons to an
organization that now requires two
special trains to convey 1t from city
to city
In the 103 acts presented at each
performance of the Barnes circus
there is not one that the owner can
not successfully handle. During the
war. when practically his entire force
of trainers were serving the various
allied nations in the worlds struggle
for freedom, it was not an unusual
thing for Mr.. Barnes to personals
work" dozen acts twice daily. With
the assistance of Martha Florrine, who
has been with him for fifteen years
Mabel Stark employee for nine years
and Vera Lindsay in her fifth season
Mr.. Barnes frequently gave the entire
performance, and the excellent bust
ness everywhere indicated that tn
crowds were satisfied
Not only that, but superintendent
OF departments were scarce, and fol
days at a stretch Mr.. Barnes super
vised the putting up of tents and thu
taking down and loading of the out
fit. Many of the workingmen had only
one arm and others were minus leg
while in the south it was necessary
to use negro women to get the tent!
and seats ready.
In spite Of all the handicaps Mr.
Barnes retained his cheerfulness, ant
during the various war drives his ad
vance department posted thousands o
sheets of paper, and his animals were
always at the disposal of local com
mittees for demonstrations. In add
ton Mr.. Barnes purchased a $1,000
cash bond in every city visited whilt
drives were on, and in this way &C
quired SCI, 900 worth of the govern
ment's guaranteed paper.

Major Beaumont Arrives

Among the arrivals on the City of Seattle Tuesday was Major George Beaumont of international war fame, the newly appointed Marshal of the First Judicial Di- vision. He was accompanied by Mrs. Beaumont.
 While in Wrangell they visited their old friends, Captain and Mrs. Lloyd L. Wardell, and Ma jor Beaumont also conferred with local officials regarding the af- fairs of his office. He stated that he had made no promises or appointments as yet in his de- partment, awaiting arrival at Ju- neau, and consideration of the problem.
 Major Beaumont was located at Anchorage, before the War, where he was connected with the Telegraph and Telephone Depart ment of the Government Rail- road. Having been in the Army Signal Corps years ago. he reen- tered it as an officer at the out break of the World War and saw much service in Franc, where he was wounded.
 Major Beaumont is still con. nected with the Army, being a field officer in the Third Section of the Army, and is assigned to the 96th Division. which is being reorganized in Oregon, Washing ton and Alaska. He and Captain Wardell are thus officers of the same Signal Corps Battalion.
 Major Beaumont makes a fa- vorable impression wherever he goes-a quiet, alert, strong man. He expressed himself as con- pletely in accord with Governor Bone and U. s. Attorney Shoup in their determination to enforce to the utmost the laws of the Territory and of the United States in this Division.

Council Holds Its Regular Monthly
 Meeting.
Important Matters Pertaining to the Question of Reduc- tion in Light Rates Dis cussed.

The regular meeting of the City Council held last Thursday even- ing was attended by represent ative gathering of citizens, prin- cipally business men of the con- munity, who had been invited to be present to take part in the discussion of the electric light question.
 In May, 1920. o. c. Palmer. owner and manager of the Wran- gell Electric Light and Power Company, in a letter to the City Council, asked that an increase in electric light rates be granted owing to the increased cost of op- erating expenses. This increase, which amounted to 2]k cents a kilowatt over the franchise rate, was granted in the form of a bo- nus, with the understanding that the advance in rates might at any time at the option of the Wran- gell City Council be reduced to the rates provided in the fran chise granted the company July 23, 1904.
 At the Council meeting held a month ago, it was decided that, owing to the reduction in the price of fuel oil during the past year, the Council was no longer iusti- fled in authorizing the collection of a bonus on the rates specified in the franchise and Mir. Palmer was notified to this effect, the mo- tifcation stating that the bonus allowed on the old rates begin, ming May, 1920, should on Sept. l, 1921, be annulled. A reply to this notification received from Mir. Palmer who was visiting in the States indicated that there was a possibility that there was a possibility that the plant would be closed if the bonus was an- nulled.
 At the meeting held Thursday night, the various communica- tions which have passed between the Light Company and the Coun- cil were read and the franchise granted the company July 23, 1904, was also read in full. This franchise expires on August 6, 1924. After a general discussion of the matter, it was decided to advise the Electric Light Con- pany that a discontinuance of the service would annul the franchise. the Council maintaining the right to return to the rates specified in the franchise, at this time.
 The return of MT. Palmer from the States on the Spokane a few hours after the Council session made it possible for the matter to be taken up with him person ally and it is expected that a set clement that will be satisfactory to everyone will be made soon.

from around the world and pre- sided over by a nice young lady as librarian, 'twould be g mighty big help to the city. Or if the city fathers feel that their dig nity is being encroached upon, there are other equally good rooms to be found and the owners should be loyal enough to make the rental nominal. You Wran- gell boosters get together, organ ize a library club to handle the matter; send out a committee to interest every one in it and collect funds, thus giving con- crete evidence of your claim to being interested in the ad- vancement of Wrangell.
 To show my sincerity in the matter I'll agree to give my share, the amount to be proportionate to that given by the big fellows and I'll also subscribe for one good magazine for one year. In addition I'll agree to do what ever painting, staining, or var nishing that is necessary to put the fixtures in working order. And last and most important of all, if it becomes absolutely and unavoidably necessary, l agree to go over to the library one day each week and make ardent love to the librarian in order to keep her on the job. If 1 am willing to make such a martyr of myself, surely you ought to be willing to quit your stick toting long enough to put this thing over.
