nation, he said, daily travel 100000
miles, Of highways. This is 30 per
cent of the mileage Of the highways
of the United States and the placing

In spite of his fears for the eco.

"of having seen an enormous swarn

An economic collapse of Germany
DR.. Amadeo was convinced, would
mean heavy losses for all countries

career.

"a Tailor Made Man" is the first
of Mr.. Rays big features for United
Artists, and is a screen comedy drama
of higher type. Its humor springs
naturally from a combination of log
ical events, and is happily bereft of
slapstickianism. 1t is Charles Rays
intense humanness, investing the
character of John Paul Bart with
logical motive and rational impulses
raised to high degree of enthusiasm,
plus the sound philosophy of the play,
that makes the screen version Of "a
Tailor Made Man" such a delectable
and noteworthy entertainment.
The story tells how John Paul Bart
extricated himself from the ruck of
drudgery to high place in the social
and business world, thru a workable
theory. part of which lays stress on
the Importance of good clothes in
moulding a mans self estimate and
in influencing those about him. The
play moves swiftly thru thrilling
situations to an intense dramatic eli
max and a surprising denouement.
Charles Ray. epitomizing youth at
it's brightest and most propitious mo-
ments, has created a screen character
that will live and scored one of his
screen career. The supporting cast
is excellent.

the name of Smith may be, and no
matter how many are the possessor
of the name John, the picture is one
of the most out of the ordinary pic

vaudeville, there are fourteen midgets,
four normally grown persons and a
whole menagerie of dwarfed animals
in the company that will play here.
Each of the midgets is an artist in
his or her department. There are
singers actors. athletes and animal
trainers on the troupe and each ap-
pears as a part of the regular pro-
gram three times a day with the tiny
horses. monkeys. dogs and the mid
get elephant Carrie, who stopped
growing when she was fourteen years
old (baby age for elephants).
In addition to being the biggest
company of the smallest people on
earth. and playing the longest engage
ment here of any act in vaudeville,
Sternad's midgets also scores another
record in that the act is the costliest
of any that has ever been engaged at
the Novelty, costing the management
more than a complete weeks bill -erdi-
narily does.
The midgets however do not furnish
the entire program. They have only
forty-five minutes on the stage. In ad-
dition to the two reels of the serial
THE Timber Queen the first half of
the week. there will be two extra
vaudeville acts. The Gabby Brothers
will follow the serial. They are live

bill Mr. Gatchett and Miss Helen
Huntington have a chance to play
parts that the patrons of the Orpheum
have never seen them play. Mr.. CAT

and they have some real pathos and
heavy acting to do.

of the decided contrast of Mr. Cat

Going from the ridiculous to the SUI
blime you might say, and it does not
jar upon your sense of humor or
pathos either. Hooper is noted for
putting over his lines in way that
his humor sticks out in any situa ton.
At one moment the air might be
charged with animosity and you might
think that it would be impossible to
put over a line that carried a laugh.
but that is just where 'Rube" excells.
That is what puts him above the aver

AT the Grand.

Theatrical history was made two
seasons ago by THE Storm" written
by Langdon Mccormick. The play as
a road show reached Topeka last sea-
son and made a great sensation here
because of its gripping story, it's dra-
matte situations and its spectacular
presentation. It is now in pictures,
and with an elaborated story and pro-
duetion is even better than the road
show. 1t will be shown all week with
a special orchestration by the Grand
orchestra.
The theme is based upon the usual
triangle OF two men and one woman.
One of the men, however, fears
women because he has never had any,
thing to do with them. The other man,
product Of Paris and London fears
women because he has seen too much
of them. The two are shut in a
wilderness cabin all winter with an
innocent French-Canadian girl, who is
forced to take refuge with them be-
