AMUSEMENT
At the strand.

AT last comes the much-heralded
million dollar . picture-.Foolish

at tho Strand theater to exceptional
~ good houses, and there Ia no doubt.

ances all week Tor in spite of 1t,
many shortcomings it has exceptional
merit: It is Il great achievement in
production and photography.
In scenic beauty and atmospheric
detail Foolish Wives is supreme.
We see Monte Carlo in all its gran
deur-the beautiful bui dings. the
casino, he biszarre crowds, beautiful
gowned women. splendidly groomed
men,. United States ba%ttleships, and
rolling seas are shown in all their
grandeur.
The story Is scraggy and choppy,
but 1t is SO skillfully handled that 1t
is unnoticed by the average movie fan
who is carried swiftly along by the
Spectacular. The plot IL any is thin,
very thin, in fact the whole thing 1,
just a panorama of the adventures of
a lustful and crafty beast and in this
role Won Stroheim is brilliant and
proves himself as consummate an &C
tor as he is a director. With the ex-
ception of the American and his wife
lie has chosen unusually good types
foN his cast. Rudolph Christian is
too nervous and ~effervescent an actor
: to represent the high type American;
he should have better and
poise. The acting Of Miss Dupont as
the Foolish Vile is excellent but ever
here the type is not strong enough
for the average American woman.
Maude George and Mae Busch play
the part of the two princesses admir-
ably and Dale Fuller / the maid and
she does her work exceptionally we'll,
After all is said this picture stands
out among many as a brilliant and
daring production and it is well. worth
seeing.

ter Roads movement in Carbon

the Board of County Commission

ultimate object of making several
designations :of roads. already es-
tablished ana heavily travelled, as

the roads from Rawlins to Casper
and the one from Rawlins to Lander.
While investigating these projects 1t

confer with representatives from
both counties on the ground.
The gentlemen mentioned who
journeyed out from Rawlins were
disappointed as the highway officials
apparently changed their plans and
went from Casper direct to Lander,
where they were said to have spent
the night Tuesday. leaving there
yesterday morning. The same To-
cal party made a fresh start We'd
nesday afternoon, hoping to make
connections and have the promised
conference at the Bair camp. They
were accompanied by Resident En-
gineer Marks, Of the highway COM
mission.

the Highway commission has de-
|cided to take over the road from
Lander to Rawlins, and hereafter
maintain II ~ o state highway. but

AT LOCAL HOSPITAL

Tuesday morning when NO. 4 ar.
rived from the west q man was taken
off in . dying condition and removed
to the Memorial Hospital, where he
fingered but q few minutes and
died without having regained con
sciousness. The mans effects
showed his name to be Jake Tar
asoff and that he came from some
Pacific coast town, his railroad
transportation showing San Fran
cisco as the originating point. He
was a Russian, about 48 years of
age. An effort was made at once
to get in touch with relatives or
friends.
According to the railroad crew
the man began showing signs OF
mental unbalance about the time
the train left Ogden. He was
watched carefully for a time. but
was not taken from the train as his
ticket was a through one to New
York City, and 1t was hoped that he
would soon become rational. Short
ly after passing Whmsutter, Tara
soft raised the window of the NOV
ing car and jumped out. The train
was brought to a stop and he was
picked up and DR.. Barber, the U. P.

WIND STORM

Last Saturday was distinguished
and set apart on the records as the
day on which one OF the most dis
agreeable wind and sand storms OF
years occurred. The storm
reached over into Sunday but with
lessened severity.
Monday morning the huge keep
to-the-right post at the corner or
Fourth and Cedar was found lying
prone on its side. but there isn't the
slightest connection between this fact
and the high wind as the concrete
post was tipped over by a side swipe
