a., MINUTES FROM BROADWAY

"Forty-Five Minutes From Broad
nov" George M. Cohan's celebrated
n,ov in which Charles Ray is now
onnearing in a perturbation as a
first National attraction is one of
tbe most human stories Mr.. Ray has
ever produced. 1t takes its title
from its locale, New Rochelle, which
is approximately as minutes from
Broadway and 42nd street, New
York city.
The story of "Forty-Five Minutes
From Broadway has to do with the
adventures of Kid Burns, an ex-prize
fighter from the East Side of New
York city, whose friend, Tom Ben
nett, suddenly finds himself heir to
fortune and an estate in New
Rochelle and sends for the Kid to act
as his advisor. Upon reaching New
Rochelle. the KID encounters a series
of adventures and 1.-The only girl
named Maryland this combina-
tion furnishes material for one of
the most delightful pictures Mr.. Ray
has ever produced. And this pic
ture, by the way, is the first indie
pendent production made by Mr.. Ray
in his own studio and it is bigger
and most costly than any other pic
ture this taleted screen star has ever
anpeared in. "Forty-Five Minutes
From Broadway will be shown at
the Liberty theatre, March 26-27.

COLUMBIA BASIN USES
w. S. G.. PROFESSORS

There are about 100000 acres
of arid land yet in the United States
that can be irrigated by gravity and
for which there is water to irrigate
with. OF this amount Washington
has more than 100000 acres, for
which there is an abundant water
supply. OF this immense acreage
the Columbia river project covers
more than one and three-quarters of
million of acres-a territory larger
than the state of Delaware-and
within its boundaries there will be
more tillable land than in any one
of the following states: Massachu-
sets, Wyoming, Vermont, Arizona,
Florida, Connecticut, New Jersey or
New Mexico.
This great empire will supply 49,
900 40-acre homes for some of the
100000 farmer boys and girls who
each year in the United States reach
their majority and begin to search
for a place to live.
Besides the farms there will be
populous cities. In all, the develop
ment of the Columbia basin project
will bring 100000 people to the state
and add more than a billion dollars
to it's wealth. From this new irri-
gated country $4,000 new students
will come to the State College of
Washington to be educated. The
taxable wealth added to the state will
add half million dollars to the year
ly millage of the State College.
To the study of this great project
the State College has made liberal
contributions. Professor o. L. Wal
Ter, vice president, and Hon. Peter
MacGregor, for many years a regent
of the State College, were members
of the commission. Arthur J. Turn
er, of the class of 1904, was chief
engineer. Professor F. w. WEIGH
and a number of our former students
were employed on the surveys. Pro-
fessor Waller spent much time study
ing the water supply, soil, climatic
conditions, the surveys for irrigation
and drainage, canal sections, dam
sites, diversion works, and so forth.
On April 1 the new director of re-
clamation, the Hon. Dan Scott, whose
daughters were students here in the
college, will take over the work of
the commission. And here is hop
ing he may find way to finance this
great project, and promise that the
State College of Washington will
render him every assistance possible
in his efforts to develop this great
arid empire.

"THE SCUTTLERS"

THE Scuttlers," in which William
Farnum comes to the Liberty theatre
March 91April l, is an absorbing
and sensational story of the sea-
William Fox, the producer, must
have gone to great expense to put
this story on the screen. A 25O-
loot ship is used for most of the
scenes, and this vessel is sunk Tar
out in the Pacific, after a series or
dramatic incidents that are gripping
IN the extremee.
The story is that of man who
Is nired to ship as a sailor in order

"IIrRE OF AMBITION"

Lure of Ambition" the William
Fox super production featuring
Theda Bara, which comes to the
Liberty theatre March 1880, is an
unusual as we'll as intensely dra-
matte photoplay.
AS the title indicates, the story
6 founded upon the proposition that
a woman of adequate will power can
scale any heights if she is fired by
ambition. In this case Olga Dolan,
the role enacted by Miss Bara. is a
girl of the utmost determination to
succeed in order to compensate her
self for vital wrong done her by
Cyril RaIston-played by William b..
Davidson-whom she foolishly loved,
Miss Bara makes Olga Dolan one
of the most interesting of screen
heroines. She gives wonderful
representation of the girl who Is
transformed from trusting creature
into a woman of the world.
The photoplay is full of gripping
situations from the time when Olga
Dolan, the stenographer, attracts the
attention of Cyril Ralston, until Olga
becomes the fiance of the Duke OF
Rutledge-a part played with much
skill by Thurlow Bergen. Others in
the cast are Amelia Gardner, Ida
Waterman. Dan Mason, Robert Patton
Gibbs, Doorthy Drake and Tammany
Young-last seen here in CHECK
ers." Edmund Lawrence directed
the picture.

tional talents and holds the interest
from beginning to end.
The Isle of Conquest, which is
coming to the Grand theatre March
31-April l, is fast moving drama
treating with a young girls mar
rage to a wealthy waster, through
the efforts of a designing mother.
Later, the yacht upon which they
are cruising, is wrecked and she
finds herself safe upon an uninhabit-
ed island with stoker from the
ships hold. Months of isolation
kindles within them mutual love
and, all hope of rescue having per-
ished, they are preparing to enact
their marriage rite when suddenly
her husband appears to return her
to his world of sham. Here the cir
cumstances become tragic, conclud-
ing with an unexpected and sensa-
tional climax.

HONEST HUTCH"

Money makes the man." quoth
the sage.
Ort Hutchins, known to Willow

he had found 100000 and immedi-
ately began to act that way. Where
he had been worthless town loafer.
he became in his own mind a pluto

OF his fellows also.
Will Rogers plays Honest
Hutch" in the inimitable Will Rogers
way, under the direction of Clarence
Badger. The picture was made by
Goldwyn, and comes to the Grand
theatre March &c.
How Honest Hutch makes a
man of himself, and uplifts his fam
lily through his effort to convince
his neighbors that he had been saw

that which he had found without
causing amazing questions provides
an absorbing story. In the end,

POOR DEAR MARGARET KIRBY

The characters in Poor Dear
Margaret Kirby the Selznick fea-
ture which is coming to the Grand
theatre March 27-2S, are members
of the most exclusive New York So
ciety, yet their failings and vir-
tues are to be found in every COM
munity. This humanness, which
made Kathleen Norris novel such a
success has been carefully pre-
served, it is said, in the picturiza-
ton by Lewis Allen Browne, Will
liam P. s. Earle directed the fea-
ture. With Elaine Hammerstein as
star and a supporting cast of well
known players.
Loss of money, treachery among
friends, and malicious gossip of
enemies combine to make the life
of Margaret Kirby a regular little
inferno after her husbands business
fails and she is thrown on her own
resources to support her family be-

"THE OFFSHORE PIRATE"

Delightful Viola Dana, the effer-
vescent little actress, will soon be
seen by local theetre-goers in the
stellar role of The Offshore Pirate,
the Metro production which comes
to the Grand theatre March 1880
as the feature attraction.
In this unusual picture, which was
adapted from the story of F. Scott
Fitzgerald, as published in the Satur-
day Evening Post, Miss Dana has
part that brings out all her unusual
gifts. AS Ardita Farnham, the girl
who is stolen by modern plratical
young man, she excels her previous
efforts.
The story tells of Ardita Farnham,
Young. rich and beautiful, whose
heart has gone to scheming for
eigner, who cleverly plots for her
money. Her relations realize what
a rogue he is, but Ardita is adamant
and intends to marry him. In de-
spair. they contrive plan. Toby
Moreland, a happy-go-lucky young
fellow. boards Ardita's yacht with
handful of cut threats, and seizes
the vessel. Out of this a romance
springs-but Unexpectedly and after
thrilling happenings.
