NATI0NAL-Alice Brady in "Zan.
der, the Great"

1
The title "Zander, the Great" sug-
! gests a story about a magician, and
this new play by Salisbury Field. in
this week at the National Theater, is
! the story of the greatest OF all
! magicians, a sweet, confiding little
child: The audience which witnessed
| the first performance OF this comedy
| last night seemed to fall as complete
ly under the spell Of this little child's
charms as the characters in the play
| themselves.
! Little Edwin Mills plays the title
role OF Zander-short for Alexander
factor in aiding Miss Brady to de-
/ velop role as realistic as that of
Judy In Daddy Long Legs" and not
dissimilar. Miss Brady portrays a
modern, resourceful girl who is an
! American, and bellies the Scott-Fitz-
gerald type Of happer.
/ Mamie Adams. whose name would
seem the logical one to give the play,
even though the theme is the age-old
one of "a little child shall lead Them -
II a spunky orphan who drives a
hivver from Weeweedon, n. j.. to a
ranch in Arizona in order to save the
little orphaned Zander from the same
orphan asylum from which she was
f1nd Zander.s father. If possible.
Miss Brady makes this brave. pa
| thetic role OF Mamie wonderfully ap-
! pealtng and her portrayal is doubly in
/ teresting when compared TO her Cas-
| sic In the original version of Cas-
| that was full of Chinese proverbs
and was called Drifting" In fact,
the role of Mamie is distinct con-
| trast to Miss Brady's preceding roles.

The story of "Zander' is the last
word in freshness for plot complica-

| competent chef and stirS this sure
fire recipe with a skillful hand and a
generous sprinkling Of clever lines.
| There is the always popular touch of
melodrama with its inevitable pistol
shot: there is semi-tragedy: and, as
a thick susar-coating on top of all is
the delightful comedy with the hap
Ipy-ever-after ending.
! The other members of the cast do
much to make the story entertaining
particularly Joseph Allen as Good
News" and George Abbott as Texas,
two excellent cowboy portrayals. Je-
! rome Patrick has the role OF the
semi-viIlainous hero, a cowboy Robin
! Hood. His work is good. but the au-
dience did not seem at all convinced
that he really deserved the love OF
Mamie and showed strong suspicion
| that she might be in for hectic
married life.
James S. Barrett and Dan Moyles
are satisfactory deputy shriffs and
Joseph Spurin is a delightful Greas-
err. William Wadsworth and Joseph
! Baird, as stanch friends of Mamie S
| from back east" gave good con-
trast to the western men.

B. F. KEITH'S-Mrs. Jean Acker
Valentino.

Many were drawn to keith's last
night. doubtless to see Mrs. Jean
Acker Valentino, former wife OF the
moving picture star. The house was
tino was seen in an interesting
sketch entitled "A Regular Girl and
demonstrated that she has real his
trionic ability. The sketch deals with
the f1apper world. The leading man
has wrecked the life of sister of
the star and she decides on revenge,
using the mans sister to square ac-
counts. The dramatic climax, very
strong, but unpleasant. shows the
man leaving with bowed head. while
the star moralizes on the ways of the
sterner sex in destroying the sisters
Of others, overlooking the fact that
their own may fall by the wayside.
A happy ending comes when the
has been making believe to convey
q lesson. Miss Acker brought out all
the strong points with telling effect.
She has a clear voice, we'll under con-
troll. The other members of the COM
pany are satisfactory. Several cur
tain calls followed the sketch.
This is National Vaudeville Assoc
iation week and the program was
strengthened by the appearance of
the associations representative,
and humorist. A couple in the box
from another theater helped out and,
after short speech by Morton
Harvey, the hat was passed around
and a goodly sum was realized for
the association. New people from
other theators will help out each
night during the week. and this plan
is being followed all over the coun.
try.

Sandstone public and high school
the past five years has resigned
his position there and leaves the
first of January for his new posi-
ton as travelling representative

cured a good position. Mr..
Schwartz alongside of being an
able school superintendent has

affairs of Sandstone village as an
officer of the Commercial Club

WRESTLING MATCH
WILL BE A HUMMER
Larson and Nissen Both in
Good Condition for
Friday.

, The wrestling match to be held
in the ID. B, S. hall tomorrow
friday evening between A. Lar
son of Hinckley and A. Nissen Of
Askov, promises to be a thriller.
Both men have been taking good
care of themselves and working
hard to get into trim for the
grueling contest.
Nissen has been training with
Ludwig Madsen and word comes
from Nickerson, where Larson is
at present depot agent. that he
is also tapered off in good shape,
so both men are in the proverbial
pink of condition. Larson has a
weight advantage of about rs
pounds over Nissen but this is
most likely offset by Nissen's
great speed. Friends and follow
ers of both are eager to see their
man win and it is expected that
a large crowd will attend.
Local followers of the mat
sport will remember that Nissen
gave an excellent exhibition of
skill in his match here two years
ago with the Greek demon,
Manos, from Duluth, a match
which resulted in a draw. Nissen
was outweighed about 80 pounds
by Manos.
Larson who is a middleweight
is also cfedited with being quick
and clever. Those who saw the
match between him and Crosby,
the strong man, at Duquette last
year said it was a real encounter,
ending in a draw.
The contest Friday evening
will start at 8:15 and will be fol-
lowed by a dance. 1t is arranged
by the |. o. o. F. lodge.

Washington. ID. C.-Develop-
ments Of the week indicate that
major political parties must find
an issue for the 1924 Presidential
campaign. The approaching
struggle for partisan control Of
the Government reveals a dearth
of workable ideas capable Of at
tracing votes. 1t has been aptly
said that politics is a science of
exigencies," and party chieftains
are hopeful that something will
appear to make clear the line of
cleavage between the two parties.
The "off-year" elections in sever
al states held last week were ut
terly lacking in national signif-
canoe.

The French Premier, entrench-
ing himself at home through
stubborn resistance to the over
lures of the American and Brit
ish governments, unknowingly,
perhaps, interviewed in the Amer
lean campaign. Poincare relegat-
ed the question of foreign rela-
tions TO the rear of the political
stage. Senator Hiram Johnson Of
California, one of the so-called
'irreconcilables" in the League Of
Nations fight, had counted heavi-
ly upon the question Of American
participation in German repara-
tions. There were others plan
ming to capitalize the subject of
European entanglements. Sena-
tor Oscar Underwood. of Ala
bama, an avowed candidate OF the
Democratic nomination and Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo, as yet an UNI
declared aspirant for the same
acknowledgements honor. have ex-
ercised extreme caution in max
ing known their views on inter
national problems. Governor
Clifford Pinchot, of Pennsylvania,
another native son favorite for
G. o. p. consideration, has wisely
given his attention to domestic
matters of political and econom.
ic nature. Mr.. Woodrow Viii.
son, who commands considerable
influence with the Democratic
party, has contributed only an
impressive silence.
