ADJUSTMENTS

Carey scores again at the Washington
theatre.
This production was built, like rae
ing auto. for speed. 1t is action, tense
and swift. from start to finish. 1t
starts with bang and ends with a
crashing wallop that will thrill the
heart of the most exacting theatregoer.
1.-THE Kick-Back', depicts the adven-
lures of cowbow, from whom hand
of rogues try to steal a water hole in
the heart of the Arizona deadlands. The
cowboy protects his property as best
he can, but his foes send him into a
trap that almost results in his death.
He manages to escape, however, and
returns to claim his land and the girl
of his dreams. Intermingled with
these incidents are several strong eli,
makes.
In the production of The Kiek-Back'
nothing has been omitted to provide
sure-fire entertainment. The cast, in
Guiding besides Mr. Carey. such prom
inent players as Ethel Grey Terry and
Henry Walthall, is adequate. The pro
duction was directed by Val Paul and
is being distributed through the Film
Booking offices of America.

The memorial is a municipal high
way called The Boulevard of the Al
lies. 1t extends from the business Sec
ton to the Oakland district, approx
mately two miles.
When city officials discussed ideas
for suitable memorial, public opin-
ion was accepted as fayoring a gener-
Gus appropriation for any monument
which might perform valuable public
services and in this way perpetuate the
offer of Pittsburgh's service men and
women.
At the time the city faced serious
problem. A tremendous amount of au-
tomobile traffic between the resident
ial sections and the business district
was compelled to use a single boule-
ward.
Meet Demand.
Insistent demand for second artery
of travel, punctuated by hundreds OF
accidents-minor and fatal-caused
the city council to decide upon the
boulevard-memorial
The highway, built chiefly of con
crete, is 40 feet wide. Construction
was begun in September, 1921. Start
ing at Grant street and Second ave
nue., the boulevard stretches up hill

MURRETTE

Charles Gerard, than whom there
Is no more suave, subtle or polished
heavy in the realm of motion pic
lures, declares that during his entire
career of celluloid viIlainy he has
been subjected to the indignity of ar
rest on only two occasions, and both by
the same detective actor-Louis J.
O'Connor
Gerrard's first experience in hav-
ing OConnor snap the steel bracelets
alongside of his wrist watch was when
he was contributing some of his deep
est dyed villiany to production in
New York City. The second occasion
happened recently in Los Angeles dur
ing the filming of one of the scenes Of
Charles Logue's story, Heroes and
Husbands" First National attraction
starring Katherine Macdonald, which
is showing at the Murrette theatre.
AS O'Conner slipped the handouts
on Gerard, the latter happened to look
up at his captor end exclaimed: Great
Scotti -. you were not satisfied
to place me under arrest in New York!
You had to pursue me across the con-
tinenti Where are you going to turn
up next?"
Wherever my stern duty as indi-
Gated in the scenario compels me to,
grimly replied O'Connor, who is such
a good picture detective that he never
takes off his hat in the presence o.
man, woman or child, and who is sell

Murray
Allan Dwan has turned to his first
love comedy drama in producing "a
Perfect Crime" his second Associated
Producers release, which is playing al
the Murray theatre.
He has taken a simple story, EN-
belished it with sound philosophy pro
vided plenty of romance, humor ano
pathos, and turned out the best com
edy drama of his career.
The story has for its hero the great
est liar on record. Baron Munchauseu
himself was a rank amateur compared
to Wally Griggs. And Wally is sc
proficient in the art he lies his way tt
success.
For in the beginning he is a poo
bank messenger, timid, groveling anc
despised, earning $50 month. He !:
| disguised because bank officials en-
deavor to make him thief by plac
| ing money about where he can stea
| it.
Wally revolts. If they suspect hin
| to be theft. he'll be one, and he plans
a cunning robbery. He lays his plant
carefully and devotes his time to es
tablishing another identity SO tina
when the time comes, Wally Grigg
will have disappeared and a new per
sonality in no way connected with thu
bank will reap the harvest of the stol
en- money.
In establishing this new indenity
is necessary for him to lie. He lie
magnificently and impressively. Fo
the first time in his life he finds tina
people are listening to him.
Does he rob the bank?
1t would be unfair to tell you. BIZ
he does steal girls heart Mont
Blue is the hero of the story and JAG

ming, the two girls, Opal and Fern

miles southwest of Canton They
were about five miles from home
when the Dodge car they were driv-
ing stalled. A terrific rain storm
was in progress. so the girls made
their way to nearby farm house,
and waited on the porch until the
rain abated.
When the rain stopped they went
back to the car and finally got it
started. They had not driven over
10 rods when two men jumped on
the running board, pointed a gun at
the driver. and ordered the car stop

These were loaded into a Buick be-
longing to thw-a thieves. The men
then drove away.

Plan Portrayal
Historic Event

Chamberlain, July 12-Records
show that 1t was 100 years ago this
summer in 1922, that the soldiers
and Indian fighters of those early
days on the frontier founded Fort
Discovery on American Island, fine
tract of land in the Missouri river op-
posite Chamberlain, which belongs to
the city and is utilized as a city park.
The fact that this summer is the
Tooth anniversary of the establish
ing OF the first outpost of white men
in this part OF the great Missouri
river valley had been forgotten bg
many people.
1t is suggested that the people of
Chamberlain and Oacoma unite in
presenting a, pageant some time this
fall portraying the events of those
early days down through the 100
years of South Dakotas develop

ASSESSED VALUE
OF RAILS IS UP
SOUTH DAKOTA TAX COMMITS.
MISSION COMPLETES WORK.

Pierre, July 12-The total assess
ed valuation of the property of the
railroads operating in South Dakota,
according to a tentative report COM
piled by the state tax commission, is
$129,710,788, which Is $43A374
more than the assessed valuation of
these properties for 1921 when q
total of 1929, 9,286,394 was assessed
against the rail lines of the state.
The tax commission has just COM
pleted its work of assessing all of the
railroads of the state and has sent
out notices of the tentative valuation
to all tax attorneys of the various
railroads operating in South Dakota,
From statements which have been
filed with the commission there have
been slight additions made in the
physical value of some of the larger
systems while the gross earnings
show very perceptable falling of
for the year 1921 The net earn
ings, however, show small increase
over 1920 which is attributed to The
reduction in the cost of operation.
On the basis of this years assess
ment it is expected by the tax com
mission that railroad property. In
South Dakota will pay fully as larg'
percentage of the total taxes fol
all purposes as they did in 1921. Th'
commission compares this shown.
with that in Minnesota, where ;
gross income tax is In force AM
where falling off In revenue to th'
state this year will amount approx
imately to $1.700,000 over that Q
the preceding year.
