MISHEL PIAsTRO, RUSSIAN
VIOLINIST. TO PLAY HERM

The famous Russian violinist, Mis-
hel Piastro, has probably had one
of the most brilliant careers on the
concert stage of today. and ono of
the widest scope.
During the years OF 1s1i-1s he
made a tour of the orient and the far
east, where he gave more than 400
concerts, His successes throughout
these strange lands can best be
judged by his press notices. He
played before European audiences
and native princes in all sorts of
climes and under all sorts of condi-
tons, conditions seldom experienced
by concert artists.
He made his American debut on
October 8. 1920, In Carnegie Hall. New
York city, and Immediately gained
the recognition OF the critical press
as one Of the master violinists of our
generation. In this hall, before a
large and fashionable audience Pias-

For good laughs and strong inter

The story, while a very interesting
one and at times exciting, is pleasing
to the taste and full of fun. Eileen
Percy is the pretty star of the play.
A splendid musical programme has
been arranged by the Million Dol

enhance the enjoyment of the picture.
Miss Percy starts out as a young
dispenser of buckwheat cakes in a

secret ambition to view at close

At the end of the tale she realizes
her ambition and succeeds as well In

Many Noted Drivers

Many Noted Drivers
A resume of the reld who will
compete convinces one that some
records are bound to tumble
Friday and Saturday, with the
state and track records being
lowered. Jimmy Costa, who has
been seen in dirt track events
from coast to coast, and who is
also a veteran OF indianapolis
speedway competition, has en-
tered two cars in the events.
One of his mounts is the famous
Bitten Benz. This car has con-
verified more fences Into kindling
wood than any race car in Amer
lea. and IL it could talk 1t could
tell some mighty interesting and
thrilling stories of the drivers II
has carried to death in mad
plunges through fences and over
embankments. Costa will also
drive Premocar No. 10 in some of
the events.
Bob Robinson, who has been
busy all the year gathering in
medals and purses on the dirt
tracks. and who has probably
won more individual honors on
the circular tracks this season
than any other driver, has also
entered the big speed classic.
Bob's mount will be Premocar
No. Z.
SarIes Back In Game
Cleo Sarles, who was forced out
of the racing game for awhile
on account of injuries piling up
on him in his numerous race
track escapades, is back now
looking for trouble again. He has
rebuilt his Cyclone Six, and Is
looking after any honors or prize
money that might be laying
round loose.
The SEVERN, another veteran
boat OF the tracks, will be pill
oted by Jimmy Gray. Dick Seip
will look after the fortunes OF
the fast-flying Essex, and Ray
Rountree has entered his green
Dayton gas glutton in NUMBER
of the events. Ray Snowden, the
only local boy booked to start
in the races, will draw hand
from the crowd as he enters the
competition and starts the dust
clouds swirling over Jones valley:

as wild as its driver-a Flats
