THOMAS MEICHAN IN
FAMOUS STORY SUNDAY

Thomas Meignan, athletic Para
mount star, seldom, if ever, disap-
points his audiences. Hence, it follows
that when his latest picture, 'Cappy
Rlcks," based on Peter B. Kyne's
famous Saturday Evening Post story
is shown at the Grand tneater Sun
day, Mr.. Melghan will add another
delightful morsel to his long list of
picture successes
Mr.. MeIgnan is excellent as Matt
Peasley, a seamar's mate, who falls
in love with and wins Florrie Kicks.
daughter of the .rascible Cappy. He
proves his mettle as a man in two or
three capital fistic encounters which
take place in the development of the
story. Altogether, his portrayal is
one that is enjoyed by every one.
Agnes Ayres is charming as Florrie,
While ChaVes Able is wholly artistic
N his portrayal of Cappy. The sup
port generally is Of the highest stan
dard.
"Cappy Ricks," directed by Tom
Forman, II one of the most enjoy
able pictures seen here in Il long
while. 1t is an excellent story Of the
sea and the photography by Harry
Perry leaves little to be desired.

SAYS MEMS, LOOKS IMPROVE
That Males Of the Race Are Growing
Handsomer Is Contention Of
British Surgeon.

according to Sir William Orpen. the
painter, men are glowing more hand
some every day, says the North China
Herald.
That their faces are changing is a
scientific fact, vOuched for by Prof.
Arthur Keith Of the Royal College Of
Surgeons. In his annual report on the
museum Of the college he says:
"FOr many years past it has been the
custom to accept and preserve in the
museum all human remains found in
Great Britain when they were found
under such circumstances as gave an
approximate clue to their date. In
time, it is hoped. sufficient material
will accumulate to provide basis for
a physical history of the inhabitants
of these islands"
From the evidence accommodating uu.
der his care Professor Keith has be-
come convinced that definite changes.
particularly in the face and jaws, have
been taking place in the last century or
two.
Whether these changes are for the
better Professor Keith does not say.
But Sir William Orpen was quite de-
citled OIL the point.
'Of course we are growing more
handsome" he said "a tirmer type.
stronger jaw is developing, l should
say. Men are approximating more to
what is known as the strong, silent
type, SO beloved Of fiction.
II believe you can make yourself
like anything you like within limits.
One of these limits is that you be-
come like the people you live with.
either in actual life or in the life OF
the mind.
II have found that husbands grow
like their wives. and wives grow like
their husbands very frequently
Sir Williams theory perhaps may ac-
count for the fact that there is Il type

GROWING Demand for Peanuts.

Americans are eating peanuts In a
number Of ways. They cut peanuts
straight, peanuts in many forms OF
candy, sailed peanuts on the tables
like salted almonds, peanut butter,
peanut oil and peanut meal or flour.
And all the possibilities of the peanut
have not yet been realized by the
public. : -
American farmers are not supplying
the, American demand for, peanuts.
Shelled peanuts by millions Of pounds
and peanut oil by millions OF gallons
come from China and Japanese pos
sessions on the Asiatlc continent, and
insular Japan gu'ws peanuts for eN-
port and runs oil mills for crushing
them. Kobe. and Osaka. Japan, and
Shanghai. China. are perhaps us great
peanut ,marts as our own city or
Petersburg in Virginia. India raises
peanuts and Spain is peanut export
ing country.
The European taste Is turning TO
peanuts and peanut products just as
the American taste has turned already.
The peanut has 4 great future.

pAEDNERS" AT TIE REX
THEATER. NEXT SUNDAY

Through the blowing up OF stra
tegical piece Of the newly constructed
road in the West which was engl-
neered by Justus Morrow, his pr'n-
cipals have lost the franchise IN that
section. This is the opening situation
in tie photoplay feature "Pardners"
the Rex theater Sunday.
"Pardners' is an adaptation to the
Green OF Rex Beach's Well known
ok OF the same name. In tie stellar
roe OF this production Miss Charlotte
Walker, the celebrated actress, has
been surrounded with very capable
company of players.
The many readers Of the Rex Beach
stories will find in the motion pic
ture version of "Pardners" all Of the
details which they read so avidly in
his book. Also a true Interpretation
of characters has been effected bring
ing the pages of this widely read nov
ell to life on the motion picture screen.
All of the wholesomeness of the
outdoors which Mr.. Beach injected
into his story has been preserved in
the picture and the atmosphere which
is so important has been splendidly
supplied.

THE WILD GOOSE" AT
..a- ELKO THEATER TONIGHT

To sec motion picture personally
directed by Albert Capellani is a de-
light: This was especially so in the
case of "The Wild Goose" his latest
Cosmopolitan production for Para
mount which was presented at the
Elko theater last night. The story
dealing with the eternal triangle in
welded life, is admirably brought out
by this master director, while the ill.,
vestiture, rich appointments and mas
sive settings lacked little to make the
production one OF the best shown,
here this season.
1.-THE Wild Goose" will appear, last
times, at the EiKo tonight.
One cannot reveal the motif of the
action of this superb picture without
he risk of spelling interest in the
unusual denouement by which Man.
ners and his romantic minded wife
ultimately are rcconciled The players
are excellent in their respective roles.
Mary MacLaren and Holmes F.. Hor-
bert have the leading roles and they
acquit themselves with rare artistry.
Dorothy Bernard, Joseph Smiley and
Norman Kerry gave effective char
acterizations.

"BAND BOX REVUE" AT REX
TONIGHT AND SATURDAY

The Band Box Revue opened their
engagement Of three days at the Rex
theater last night.
THIS show is somewhat different
from the usua vaudeville that has
been playing this popular playhouse
and made an instantaneous hit with
the audience, and from the amount
of laughter and applause that greeted
the efforts of the players, they have
established themselves with the thea
TRIGGERS of Bemidji.
The show is made up of a few prin-
cipal men among whom Eddie Russell
won the laurels as a comedian and
dancer of merit, while Mr.. Beaseley
was close second, and scored hit
The company is advertised as
"mostly girls" and lives up to the
billing-as most of the members are
really girls. A better dancing, better
trained, and prettier chorus has not
played this city in several seasons.
The costumes worn by this bunch of
'tpeaches" as they are advertised,
were very becoming and helped in
a great measure to make the offering
a huge success.
The girls dance we'll, and while they
did not sing in all the musical num-
bers, when they did sing, it was shown
that they possessed pleasing voices.
Today they will change the entire
program, in fact complete change
of program is announced for each
day Of their engagement, and if the
change today is nearly as good. as
the opening play, it will be winner.
A feature picture Of merit is includ-
ed in the program of the house, also
a comedy, making a solid two-hour
show for popular prices.
We trust this popular company
will play a return date in the near
future.

TAKE INVENTION FOR GRANTED
Few People Seem to Realize Impor-
lance OF Work Done by Men Of
Brilliant Ideas.

Inventors sometimes have been
looked upon as rather scatter-brained
people who spend most Of their time
thinking up impractical ways to do
unnecessary things. But, according to
DR.. Miller Reese Hutchinson, distin-
gu1shed inventor and former adviser
of Thomas. A. Edison, few people real
ize the importance Of invention to our
modern daily life.
Invention. says Doctor Hutchin-
son, "is perhaps the most important
constructive force in our economic life.
We take it for granted and few people
appreciate its daily application. But
inventions shadow our every step from
the cradle to the grave. Our food is
planted and harvested with invented
machinery: it is distributed through

"FOOTLIGHTS" AT THE ELKO
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY

Elsie Ferguson, who is starring in
"Footlightf:"," a Paramount picture
which will be shown at the Elko the
alter tomorrow, Saturday, also Sun
day matinee and evening, brings to
her the role of finesse of both stage
and screen experience. The part:
which portrays an American, who Is
introduced on the New York stage as
a Russian actress, challenges the best
Of Miss Ferguson's art. In one. scene
she gives an impersonation of Eddie
Foy and IN another she has a fencing
bout. All through the picture there
are two personalities at play, the one
of the puritanical New England girl,
end that of the pampered Russian
actress.
In making this picture, Miss Fer
gusorl has broken precedent. she
has refused to appear in many plays
and pictures dealing with the stage,
feeling that no true presentation
Of the profession has been given.
"Footlights" tells the story of a
vaudeville entertainer who becomes
the most famous actress in America.
Her rise to fame, although unique in
every way, was made through strug-
giles, hardships and sacrifices. 1t is
not the exaggerated story of an over
night career with flowers and dinner
parties. To reach this height Lizzie
Parsons, had to give up her friends
and past associations and lose her
identity in that of Russian.
Miss Ferguson's Interpretation of
this role makes "Footlights" the out
standing picture of the year. Regi
maid Denny heads capable support.

TRENTON. \. j., Oct. 3-On the eve
OF the annual conventions Of the Repub-

apathetic primary elections ever held
IN the state, there is in prospect con-

Prohibition, far from being a burned

vital influence in TIE control of the
destinies of both parties in the cam

hibiton enforcement law, adopted by
the late Legislature. stands out to-day
as the greatest problem in New Jersey

this measure by the two parties will
affect materially their prospects of sue

Republican delegates find themselves
az serious odds over the demand of
Speaker Hobart for an Endorsement by
the convention tomorrow of the state
enforcement act. Three OF the twelve
candidates for the Assembly on the
