PLANS FOR FILMING
PASSION PLAY ARE
FLATLY TURNED DOWN

OBERAMERGAU, Bavaria, Nov. y
The Passion Play committee, which
recently has been bombarded by pro-
posals from American motion picture
concerns for the privilege of filming
the production in 1922, when the play
will next be performed, is standing
firm in its refusal ito play Judas to
our tradition. despite our poverty,
as 1t puts it.
The committee, it is stated, has re-
fused offers running as high as TO-
100000 marks, representing a hugh
fortunet o the villagers.
The play, last produced in 1910,
was not given in 1920, the regular
date, because of the mortality among
the performers and musicians cause
by the war.

"sITTIN ON THE WORLD

On Friday and Saturday the Lyric
theatre will present as its banner
attraction David Butler in Sitting on
thes World. This story was adapted
from the Saturday Evening Post
story, Sitting on the World" 1t is
a typical story of American rural life
and deals with the humorous love ex-
ploits of an American boy who after
making the world safe for democ-
racy by fighting in the mud of Flan-
ders returns home to find that a
Stacker has taken his girl from him.
1t is said that there are many a
wholesome laugh, most of them at
het expense of the young hero, who
in the end does a little laughing at
the expense of the other fellows. The
story savors of Denman Thompson's
"Old Homestead" and James Whit
comb Riley's country poems.
1t shows that it is impossible to
keep good man down when that
man can smile when another fellow
robs him of his girl. But this hero
works little different from the aver
age movie hero. After a few signs
of outraged love, ne corners the
chicken-hearted wretch who has
caused all his trouble and makes
him take back his false SANDER.
Then when the girl wants to come
back, he refuses to have anything to
do 9th her and marries another
girl who has secretly loved him TO
years.

A record was made in the criminal
courts of Douglas county this week,

apprehended in an adjoining state, re-
turned to Nevada, found guilty as
charged and delivered to the warden
of the state prison, all within the
brief time of four days, one of which
was holiday.
Turner was employed on the Heise
ranch in this valley and one morning
he turned up missing. A saddle
horse valued at SIS, saddle worth
$40, bride costing s55, spurs SIS, and
chaps $25; total valuation of $3.50,
were also missing, and suspicion
pointed to Turner as having taken
the horse and riding equipment.
He was traced to Lake Tahoe, and
believing that he was headed toward
Placerville, warrant was issued for
his arrest in this county and the
sheriff of Ell Dorado county was noti-
fled to apprehend the thief. This was
accomplished without difficulty and
the accused returned to Nevada to
stand trial without a fight. He was
given a preliminary hearing in the
justice court Saturday and was held
for trial in the district court, the
offense being that of grand larceny

WHY FISHING IS
POOR AT TAHOE
Spawn Being Taken From Lake Tahoe
by California Authorities, 1t Is
Said, and Distributed Among
Other Streams Of State

For the past several years fishing
at Lake Tahoe has been exceedingly
poor, and no explanation for the con-
dition has been forthcoming. How
ever, resident of Lake Valley, de-
clares that it is always poor fishing
where there are no fish, and since
trout are no longer permitted to
spawn in the creeks leading into the
lake, because of the big fish hatchery
stripping the females, the supply OF
trout In Lake Tahoe has greatly di-
minished. Whether or not this ex-
plains the responsibility for the poor
fishing at Lake Tahoe for the past
few years, is not positively known, but
1t is an undisputable fact, however
that trout fishing at Lake Tahoe is nc
longer considered by sportsmen and
they seek in other lakes and streams
that which once made Lake Tahoe ia
nous.
