"The Woman and tine Puppet,'' is Geraldine Farrar'S latest vehicle. This picture will be shown at Polls thea Ere, beginning today. The plot is laid in Spain and centers around Con- cha, a beautiful and wilfu1 Spanish cigarette girl. A rich man bribes her mother and endeavors to use Concha as a toy for his whi1ns, but the girl uses her own initiative and leaves her home to dance in a wharf cafe. When the rich man at length discovers her, it is to find her danc- ing, half dressed.
 The vaudeville bill will be entirely new. Jimmie Hodges who has been such tremendous hit for the last three days, will appear in an entirely new musical comedy entitled Honey moon Isle.' John s. Blondy and Sister, g. novelty diversion, and Craig and Holtsworth in music and sing ing are other attractions.

 Go to any of the theatres or mo- ton picture houses any afternoon or evening and what do you see? Full houses-in most cases crowded ones
 One would think that if times are as hard as they are supposed to be- theatres would be the first to feel the slump.
 There are two solutions to the prob lem:

SEYAD@ winch separate tine
4 state from California. Most of the
I History of the state centers in this
Western section, near the Sierras, and
1t is here that all of Nevada's princi-
/ pal cities are located.
The first white man to cross the
| present state was the Franciscan
Monk, Father Cares, who made his
waysacross the deserts to California
in 1775. In 1925 Peter S. Ogden of the
Hudson's Bay company discovered the
Humboldt river which is sometimes
called Ogden river after him. This
river has popularity, which also ap-
plies to most of the rivers of the
state, in that it does not flow into the
ocean, but disappears in large lake
or sink. Other trappers followed Og-
den, but found the Indians hostile and
there was no inducement at this time
for settlers.
The next memorable trip across the
state was that by Fremont in 1S43,
when he went to California at the time
Of the outbreak of the Mexican war.
1t was that war which in 1913 resulted
in Mexico ceding a large area to the
United States, of which Nevada was a
part. When this was organized into
territories, the Territory of Utah ex-
tended to California The Western in
habtants, however, were left to their
own resources and accordingly organ
ICED their own government. Resenting
the attitude of Utah they petitioned
to be annexed to California. They
were closely allied with the latter
state, for it was largely on account of
the gold rush to California in 1S49
that Nevada settlements were made.
One example of this was the trading
by the Mormons in the valley of Car
son river, to supply the gold seekers.
In 1859 the Comstock Lode was dis
covered and Nevada had it's own min
ing boom. Population Immediately
grew by leaps and bounds and in 1861
Nevada was formed into a separate
territory. Later, portions of Utah
were added and the lower part of the
state was taken from Arizona. Petit
lions for statehood were made but It
was not until 1864 that Nevada be-
came the thirty-sixth state of the
Union.
Though Nevada ranks sixth in size
with its area of 10000 square miles,
It has the smallest population of any
Of the AS states. Between 1890 and
1900 there was marked decrease in
