Legion Men Among the Miners.

The activity of the American Legion
In the mining districts Of southea st
Kansas IS another pertinent proof
that the Misunderstanding between
labor bodies and the eX-service mems
Organization has been dissipated. At
Scammon, Kan, the climax of the
eight-hour day celebration of the
miners in District IA, was reached in
ban at the Legion hall, under the
auspicies of Francis Ellison Post.
Another instance is the almost unpre-
cedented growth of Clarence Smith
Post No. 272 at Weir. From a member
snip of u ex-service men in 1920, q
total of 1l2 has been enrolled in 1921

Among the many novel scenes
which mark Eugene O'Brien's latest
Selznick picture, The Last Door,"
which will be @ at the Strand
Theatre next Friday, are some pic
%turesque skating scenes in which
Eugene O'Brien and Martha Mans
field show their adeptness at this
popular form Of winter sport.
Director William p. S. Earle. ac-
companied by Mr.. O'Brien, Miss
Mansfield and other members of the
cast, made a special trip to New
York's most famous winter resort,
Saranac Lake in order to get the
proper atmosphere and realism for
this phase of the production.
The ene upon the ice are very
important to the, story Of "The Last
Door" and it was only due to Mr..
O'Brien's and Miss Mansfield's ex-
pertness as skaters that these inter-
esting. exciting and beautiful scenes

duction.

IF TRUE

Late reports from Mexico state
that not only the Los Naranious and
Amatlan-Chinampa districts have
been nearly wiped out by salt water
intrusion but that the Zacamixtle
sector is also affected. II this is
true 1t certainly adds another factor
toward further advances in the price
of crude. which may be looked for at
an early date. The officially stated
fact Of consumption of gasoline over
production and the tremendous ex-
port demand caused the last in

Edith Roberts has a new kind of
role in The Unknown Wife," her
latest Universal photodrama in
which she is to be seen at the Strand
Theatre mex Monday. The story gets

With a comedy story Of unusual
merit and ~cleverness. interpreted by
a cast OF well-known players, Doug
las MacLean will appear at the
Strand Theatre on Tuesday next In
zone a Minute" his latest Paramount
Ince starring vehicle. Marian De-
Beck, who appeared in several New
York productions prior to entering
pantomime, has the leading femi-
nine role of Miriam Rogers. MacLean
is cast as Jimmy Knight, a lawyer
and erstwhile druggist whose expert
ences with a successful patent med
icine form the basis of ~innumerable
clever comedy situations. The re-
mainder OF the cast includes such
popular players as Victor Potel,
Frances Raymond. Andrew Robson
and Graham Petite. Do not fail to
see this picture, which is considered
! Mr.. MacLean's best.
Cecil B. DeMille, perhaps the
foremost motion picture producer in

played his genius at it's best in his
latest Paramount picture, 1.-THE At
fairs of Anatol," which will be pre-
scented at the Strand Theatre for two
nights next week, Wednesday and
Thursday. From every standpoint
investiture, its all-star cast, sump-
t%uousness of settings. brilliance of
directorial execution, richness of
costumes, quality Of story and gen.
eral artistry, this picture marks a
distinct epoch in screen production
of the decade. The story, written by
jeanne Macpherson and suggested by
the famous play by Arthur Schnitzler,
deals with an impressionable young
man of wealth who finds time to in
terest himself in the affairs of others
and who learns by practical expert
ence that it pays best to attend to
ones W affairs and let others do
the same. The cast is superb and
includes such stars as Wallace Reid,
Gloria Swanson, Elliott Dexter, Bebe
Daniels, Monte Blue, Wanda Hawley,
Theodore Roberts, Agnes Ayres and
Theodore Kosloff. Their portrayals
are artistic and add vastly to the
value OF the production. The photo
graphy by Alvin Wyckoff and Karl
Struss Is beautiful. Take it all in
all this is perhaps the best picture
thus far made by Cecil B. DeMille
and that Is saying a great deal.
