INST LESION
sHOW pNeH;

Ierington music lovers will be Of
fered the treat Of their lives this
evening, October 18. when the Metro
politan Male Trio will render pro-
gram. The furnishing of this high
class talent is made possible through
the efforts Of the Lyon County Post
of the American Legion. who hare
signed a contract with the Midland
Lyceum Bureau for other perform
ances. which will be given at the
Granada Theater during the winter
mouths.
The Metropolitan Male Trio has
the distinction OF being the first or
gailization OF its kind on the lyceum
and chautanqua platform Others
have followed its example and tasted
its success. but the Mctropolitans
were the first to conceive the idea
OF three men singing together with
the same effect of four.
Probably no form of entertainment
has been more popular in the Ly-
ccurn field than male singing. Male
quartets and male choruscs have been
cncorcd time and tine again. Audi-
cnces have lefts their performance
visibly pleased. The Metropolitan
Male Trio is no exception 1t is conf
posed Of three fine young men. with
excellent voices. 1t is program full
Of pep and ginger as the best quartet
or chorus you have ever heard.
The program, varied bs vocal and
Instrumental selections, will also be
varied by different kinds of music.
The men viii sing and play the semi
:lassics. responding to encores with
popular tunes. From beginning to
md the entertainment will be high
class and interesting. No attempt
will be made at educational features
as is often the case with lyceum and
chautauqua programs, yet the Metro
politon concert will be Of the very
finest type. You will be refreshed,
after hearing the Metropolitan Trio,
.efrcshed because you have been cn-
[.ertaincd by program thoroughly en-
ioyable and absolutely wholesome.
Season tickets arc on sale at both
local drug stores.

WHOSE STATEMENT
SHOULD GO?

at the time the -Pittman silver act
was passed. Senator Pittman received
letters from e. E. Lakeman, general
manager. and c. V. Jenkins. business
manager of the Nevada Consolidated
Copper Company, congratulating and
thanking him for his untiring efforts
in putting the measure through con-
grcss.
Candidate Chandler is also concect-
cd with the Nevada Consolidated Com
any. holding a position subordinate
to that of the two men above referred
to. He states that Senator PittInan
had little to do with the passage OF
the silver act. In view OF the rcla-
tive positions of the three men, whose
statement should be believed?

Qualified. to Hold

Position

Everybody who knows Jim Bernard
;nows that he is in every way quail
led to make the most efficient County
Clerk that Lyon County has ever had,
>ut there are some who profess to
,elieve that he is moi old enough 10
assume the responsibilities OF this
ofiice.
JIM Bernard is Is years old. John
II. Miller. present candidate for. Gov
,rnor OF. this state. assumed the duties
IF the Clerk and Treasurer OF E.smer-.
aida County when he was Il. and in
spite OF the dire predictions OF his de-
'eated opponent made the most COM
potent official who has ever served in
that county Governor Boyle as
sumed his duties as head OF this state
lin his 54th year. and because OF his :
youth made record that is unsur-
passed by any Governor in the United
States. Theodore Roosevelt, at the
time when his fame and popularity
was at its zenith, was the youngest
ruler in tho world. and il was his
youth and the courage and aggrcs-
sivc confidence that gocs with it that
enabled him TO accomplish the things
which he did accomplish. Alexander
sighed for new worlds to conquer be-
fore his thirtieth year, and was dead
and gone at 80. So why worry about
James N. Bernard and his Is years:
The fact of the matter is that the
Clerk and Treasurcr's office requires
hard work and plenty Of it. with that
capacity for definite detail which con-
stitutcs real genius. Any man who
possesses the knowledge of the av-
erage grammar school graduate, and
fair amount Of common horse sense,
is amply qualified to perform the
duties of any of the county offices
! in this or any other county in Nevada.
What we should look for in county
officials is character. reliability. and
t"workability'. and these are the three
things which James has nothing else
but.

TEN NIGHTS IN A BARRoOM''

+ There is no doubt that in recent
times the American public has swung
very markedly to motion pictures Of a
distinctly heart interest type. /, And
thus an assured welcome awaits Arr
rows "Tcn Nights in Barroom.'
which has captured the plaudits OF
audiences in Boston. Newark, Provi-
dcnce, r. l., Reading, Pa, and many
other large cities in the United States.
There is plenty of sensation and
thrill. in this picture, but the story is
one that goes to the heart. Times
change in the motion picture field; it
is found to be more and more difficult
to interest the American people in
costly spcctaclcs on the screen They
mean nothing. except the more or less
doubtful outlay of one million dollars.
Million dollar spcctaclcs are Things OF
the past, even if they ever existed:
Advertising of this nature no longer
fools the people. What the people
want are heart interest stories. OF
which "Tcn Nights in a Barroom' is
favorable type. Like all great sue
cesses the thtfnc is very simple and
easily understood: there is nothing OBJ
scurc or complex about it: wealthy
young man goes wrong. ncglects his
wife and child; the child is killed in a
quarrel. the young man repents. be-
comes decent member OF the COM
munity and with his young wife re-
gains his lost happiness. all due to
the spiritual influence OF the dead
child.
This is the story, set in magnificent
ly spectacular surroundings, well pho
tographcd and directed supcrbly
acted by John Lowell. Baby Ivy Ward
and strong cast.
The picture will pc shown at the
Granada Thcater, next Sunday and
Monday.
