Blood and Sand and Monte Ca1iSt0 Reach
Highest Pinnacle of Motion Picture Art
r., WAITER D. HICKMAN

The worlds best acted tragedy has
arrived.
This important title falls to the
movie version OF Blood and Sand, !"
with Rodolph Valentino playing the
role Of the temperamental bull fighter.
Such praise may appear extrava-
CANT, but Blood and Sand" now on
view at the State Theater, is a pic
ture which has that something
which makes 1t really great picture
and places Valentino unquestionably
on the highest pinnacle of great act
ing.
The truth IS, haven't been greatly
excited by the work Of Valentino in
the past, as I considered him just a
matinee disease" meaning a popular
love-making, idol.
Blood and Sand Is a great tragedy
and Valentino makes a more convinc-
ing Juan Gallardo than Otis Skinner
did on the stage. In the first place,
Blood and Sand" is a great tragedy
It moves with compelling and terrific
force. Valentino has caught the spirit
OF the author and the result is that
the movie version of Blood and
Sand IS one that deserves to be called
great.
On the stage Otis Skinner, because
Of his age. left some doubt in ones
mind that he was really a great youth
full lover. Valentino, on the other
hand, seems to breathe the very flames
OF passion. His madness" for Dona
Sol Is wonderfully reflected on the
screen. The director has reached the
highest pinnacle OF handling mob
scenes in the bull fight episodes In the
arena.
These arena scenes have the Dig
punch" the big knockout strike
which the stage story could not con-
tain Every time Valentino waved his
coat a thrill went up and down my
back Valentino Is the bull fighter,
the mad and reckless lover. He is
the only man I know who could play
this role so masterfully.
II Is impossible to go into the merits
Of the wisely selected cast, but give
it in full as follows:
Juan Gallardo. Rodolph Valentino
carmen. Lila Lee
Dona Sol. -...-............N Mia Naldi
Fl Nacional. .........-. George Field
Plumitas- --.-.-.......W Walter Long

Garabata. Gilbert Clayton
Fl Pontelliro- Harry Lamont
Marquise de Guevera. George Periolat
DR.. Ruiz. Sidney De Gray
Ion Jose. Fred Becker
Sonora Nacional. DOrcas Mathews
Euentes. -...-. William E Lawrence
Blood and Sand" makes Rodolph
Valentino the most important movie
player before the American public to-
day. It is the great tragedy triumph
Of the present day. 1t Is a Paramount
picture.
It IS useless for me to urge you to
90 as the capacity rule has been the
order since the picture opened Satur-
day at the State Theater.

The portrayal Of Edmund Dantes
By John Gilbert Is a great piece of
work The prison scenes are master
full, especially the escape, where
Dantes begins life anew with the IA

many recently acquired interest in Salt

said to call for purchase of 100 per

Under the present ~pro-ration reguia
tons It is understood that these con
tracts arc abrogated by purchase OF 90
per cent production.
Whether the operators can sell the
60 per cent yield remaining to indie

such disposition could DO made.

The signed report follows
Your committee spent some tins
in the office OF the Red Cross and
thoroughly examined the methods Of
worK and system OF filing and also
read sone OF the cases there on file
They found that in the month OF
January alone. IS families have been
contacted: lss Wis Is made. $50 inter
views held: 23 letters written; . tsIe
grams sent and - new families con
tacted-
During tho time spent in the Of
FEC tour applications were made by
people asking various services.
Some OF the Impressions received
by the committee were the systematic
and conscientious way in which each
case IS handled. 1t IS not the plan
TO hand out charity without due ex-
animation OF the merits. and II Is
also the plan not to give Q so
much as TO help the needy to main
tain themselves. The committees hnd
that tho Red Cross Is aiding many
to get on their fee and walk 1 n their
OVID strength
The records show there have been
1916 cases handled by the office in
the last year. Of which. over 600 were
rev. At the %circscrt time there are
2oc cr-n civilian use and over 400
soldier cases.
The variety OF work done e. sur.
'prising. Gases OF extreme poverty
and delinquent young people. who
need mcdiqna and moral attention.
are types OF the work done. During
tho ear &c small children have been
looked after and o-ed for according
no their needs.
ITO tho committee It seems that
the Natrona County Red Gross is In
dispensable. Our city and county
cannot get along without this work.
IL deservest he support of the entire
citizenship of our city and county.
Another is greatly needed
Many OF the cases are so delicate in
nature that there should be n private
room for consultation.
I'VE heartily cor.mend the able and
Efficient work of Mrs. Kittie Payne
and OF her assistant, Miss Olsen.
"As proof Of the business like meth
dis of the office II might be stated
that to county has been saved enough
TO pay the salary OF the super1ntenu
emit This has been done by care
and discrimination in handling the
cases which would noturAliy go to
the county for support
1.-THE Rcd Cross office Is now TAX
ing the place of an associated charity
such as many cities maintain and
this feature should appeal to all or
~ganizations and individuals who de-
sire TO assist in c~hir1table work
Being a national organization. the
Red Cross investigates cases which
como from other cities and states
and turnso YER such work to the
city which should attend tq such
transient cases. Thus all money sub
scrFbed here Is used in Natrona
county.
I'VE appeal to tho people Of the
city and county to be liberal In their
contributions TO the Red Cross when
the campaign Is put on next week"
