SCREEN STAR
HEADS BILL
AT STRAND
Virginia Pearson Appel Is II
Person and In Pictu1 ID
Roll,

A fine amusement treat is Of
fered at the Strand this week,
where Virginia Pearson, emotional
screen actress, is appearing as the
vaudeville headliner, as well as the
star Of the screen production,
"Wildness of Youth"
Many who attended out Of inter
est to see the film celebrity found
that Miss Pearson Is as good on
the speaking stage as she Is on the
silver sheet. Unlike a majority Of
the screen stars who take fling
at the speaking stage, Miss Pear
son possesses true presence and
dramatic ability. But the entranc-
ing film star doesn't devote her
entire offering to dramatics, for
she relates several humorous
stories concerning "Wildness of
Youth" in it's production stages.
The remainder of the vaudeville
program, too, is excellent. Billie
Norton and Ethel Wilson, in
From the Sublime to Ridiculous"
provide a good round of merriment
with their songs and chatter.
Nancy Boyer, assisted Dy t10IlTy
Teste and Harry Hamilton, offered
Mary LOU" still as popular as
ever; Thomas P. Dunn gained the
comedy honors with various char
acteriZations: Bell and Eva, in an
array of amusing versatile capers,
AT the Soda Fountain" opened.
"Wildness of YOUTH the photo
play feature, with Miss Pearson in
the leading role, deals principally
with youth-and it's folly. Harry
T. Morey, Julia Swayne Gordon,
Bobby Connolly, Joseph Striker
and Mary Anderson have the
heavy roles.

'"'SPICE OF ~ =
SNAPPY
REVUE
Studded With Pretty Girls
and Novel Scenes, Belasco
Bill Makes Hit.

The present administration Of
the Shubert Belasco Theater
seems to be intent upon closing
the local Shubert-vaudeville sea-
son in a blaze Of pristine glory
sure to dim the briIliances Of the
early year. Spice Of 1922" with
hook by Jack Lait added to
some tuneful numbers, opened at
this house yesterday and far out
shone anything of It's kind that
had gone before during the
present cycle.
Spice Of 1922" is the Shubert
version of a former New York
Winter Garden vehicle. It is
marked with a variety Of novel
and meritorious scenes; there are
enough catchy ditties to suffice.
the principals are all pleasingly
above par and the chorus Is both
pulchritudinous and zestful. And
the dances Every variety, from
the old-fashioned cake-walk and
soft-shoe stepping to statuesqt1e
posing in costumes of paint and
an allegorical ballet representing
the Garden of Eden at the time
of the apple episode. This latter
offering, by.the-bye, Is a daring
innovation Of the strictly epider-
mis- school. The young lady
wears only a breech- cloth. Elsie
Wacht, the Eve in question.
does Enthusiastically fine piece
of terpsichorean effort.
BY far the biggest hit of the
show is HI Brendel, whose SWede
characterization is a scream.
Brendel is canny; he does not
appear too often, and thus in the
few scenes which are his he
brings down tie house. A very
capable foil to his wit IL Flo
Bert. who incidentally contributes
no small part to the entertain
ment with her popular songs.
Brendel has one tremendously
funny scene in a burlesque
minuet in which he loses most Of
his costume piecemeal, and an
other of his hits is in q bedroom
farce in which also appear
florence Brown and Arman Kaliz.
Kaliz, incidentally, 10 no SLOUGH
at burlesque comedy himself. In
a sktt fraught with matrimonial
tribulations KaliZ. assisted by
Florence Browne Martha Thr0op,
Alice Ridnor and Evelyn Down
ing, shows a deft touch.
Sam Hearn il the third coined
ian OF the trio. Besides furnish
ing some excellent fun as the
censor who stops the show oc-
casionaIly to eliminate certain
risque bits, he shows q technical
knowledge of the violin which
was enjoyable.
Arthur Corey does some very
fine dancing in a number Of
scenes, his Egyptian Frieze being
both timely--in view of the recent
discoveries in the Valley of the
Kings-and graceful. Robert An
derson displays a pleasant tenor
in several solos, while James
Gaylor, Johnny Berkes, and the
entire chorus Of Spice Girls do
more than their share toward the
success of the production. Nor
are to be forgotten the role of
the little tough girl in "Help"--a
role played very convincingly by
Exelyn Downing, and some OF
the vocal solos Of Martha Throop.
From whatever angle you view
it, "Spice Of 1922" is the Belas-
cos best bet SO far this season.

MAE MURRAY
JAzzES THE
FILMS

"Jazzmania," with Mae MUIR
ray-or Mae Murray with jazz
mania-for the life of one it's hard
to state offhand which term is
the most descriptive after having
viewed the Robert z. Leonard
production of that name starring
the bizarre Mae, which is the at
traction at Loew's Columbia this
week. For the dainty. capricious
and--it must be Enthusiastically
star jaZzes her way all through
the tale; a tale which unfolds a
magic carpet whereupon are
spread a European opera-bouffe
kingdom whose like was ne'er
heard of before, New York
salon de dance and a troupe of
characters ranging all the way
from prime ministers, royal
princes and captains of the guard
to Grant young reporters from
America. "JazErnania," with Mae
Murray-or Mae Murray with
jazzmania.
There is but one way to ap-
proach sane reviewing of Jazz
mania" To take it seriously, to
accept the situations IT presents
as an attempt to portray that
which might happen in real life,
were utter folly, and might result
in a spoiled evening. But to en-
ter into the spirit in which the
film was evidently produced-to
give oneself up to two hours
of make-believe-then the verdict
will be more than favorable.
To tell the story here is to spoil
1t for prospective screengoers. A
word, however, for the clever
work Of the star. Miss Murray
Is a peculiar type of individual
one who might not fit into every
yarn spun for the delectation of
the American movie-fan at large.
She must have vehicles whose
Vagaries fit her own; "Jazzmania"
is certainly one of these and she
graces it well.-R. L. B.

He also fails to recall the time when he was laid up with broken leg and almost died of indigestion trying to eat up all the, dishes brot in to tempt his appetite or how the neighbors did every thing but the marrying at his sis ter's wedding.
 It's rather better for one's nervo us system to be warned of coming events by neighborly gossip than to come home and find the wife and all her personal effects gone, or to be summon ed to court to pay fine for ones child ren,- arrested at raid on a notorious roadhouse.

In Defence of the Small
 Town

But few days ago we reed a pithy paragraph from the pen of-we can't recall whom quoting Ebert Hubbards statement that God made the country. man, the city, and the devil. the small town. We'll not dispute the statement because, to quote the pith of the pa. ragraph "Elbert was wise old bird" But we will rise to remark that his sa tanic majesty peopled his handiwork with Human Beings, anyhow.
 The noted journalist, who has since quilted this vale of printers ink and gone where all good editors go, is fur ther quoted as branding all small towns as character assassins." That's going it a bit strong. The person who takes that stand takes himself too seriously. We'd venture to say that most of us could count on the fingers of one hand the really worthwhile people that We know of except in fiction whose lives have been blighted by the "venomous tongue of slander".
 He who takes himself and "They say too seriously forgets that it is applied impartially to Mrs. Browns city gowns

TOWN OF HOLLY RECovERS
s3,sO000 WARRANT FROM
FAIRBANKS MORSE co.

Mayor G. W. Smeltzer this week
completed negotiations with the
Fairbanks Morse Co. whereby the
said company returns to the town
of Holly the warrant for S3,S0O0O
given to them for the rotary pump
which the town bought from them
three years ago. and which proved
to be worthless to the town after
a few days use. AS a consequence
Of the failure of this pump to work
the town was without lights, fire
protection or drinking water for
several days and in addition spent
considerable money for repairs In
trying to make the pump work.
The Company demanded pay
ment of the warrant which was re-
fused by the town ,and the matter
has been in controversy for nearly
three years. The matter was set
tied out of court, the Company
taking the motor and starter back
and delivering the warrent to the
town without further considera-
tion.

Health inspection was conducted
in the following scools: Mount
Zion, Fairview, High Plains. Wes-
tern Belle, Sunny Slope, Mountain
View, Pleasant Heights. Lone Star
Alta Vista. Barrel Springs. Eadle
Hill, Star, Ridgeview, Riley and
Plum Creek
Two hundred twenty nine pu-
pills were inspected, and parents
notified of defects found.
Eighty two pupils were found to
be in need of Dental attention.
The biggest item of waste on the
school budget is the child who is
MT pomoted-who is one, two, or
three years behind his grade. Al
most invariably the child who
fails to pass is found to be suffer
ing from physical defects, especi-
ally those resulting from tooth de-
fects.
All school children are taught to
brush the teeth at least twice
daily. After breakfast. and after
the evening meal. Proper care
puts the dent" is the Dentists
bill, but the Dentist should be
consulted at least twice year
from three years of age on.
One third of the pupils inspected
this month have abnormal ton
sils, and sixteen show nasal OBJ
struction.
Abnormal Tonsils and adenoids
are quite as dangerous sources OF
disease as decayed teeth. With
adenoids, breathing becomes diff
ficult, the expression vacant. the
hearing dulled, comprehension
slow, and growth stunted AbnOr
nal Tonsils are fertile breeding
ground for many kinds of disease
germs.
Thirty three pupils were found to
have defective vision, and in each
case, parents were asked to con
suit their Physician.
We find that there are families
living fifty and sixty miles from
town that have no means of trans
portation other than by wagon

having defects corrected, and at
tend to the matter in the best way
they can. A; number have secur
