STILL ROLLING
ON THIS
WAGON"

Seemingly unable to extingI1ish
public interest In its wonder
fully pictured tale, THE Covered
Wagon rolled into its third
week at Polls yesterday, and.
judging from the record attend
ance, there is every likelihood
that the film may stay on
through this month.
This photoplay is a vivid and
accurate perturbation of the
perils and hardships the pioneers
of 40 underwent in their journey
across the trackless prairies, in
wagon trains, on the way to Ore
gon. It is entertainment, and
more than that, 1t is history.
There is a genuine thrill wind
ing through the hills and across
the plains, but excitement is
tense during the stirring episodes
of the buffalo hunt, the Indian
attack and the prairie fire. Trag-
edy and comedy go hand In hand
in this, the greatest work of
Emerson Hough, transferred to
the screen by the genius Of
James CFuZe.
Ernest Terrence, 50 long an or
nament to the stage in delight.
full musical shows, Is perhaps
the real star OF the picture. It is
hard to recognize the handsome
captain of 1.-THE Night Boat" in
the bearded plainsman he por-
trays, and he demonstrates In
this. film that his versatility is
truly remarkable. J. Warren
Kerrigan and Lois Wilson are
cast as the young lovers about
whom the romance OF the story
revolves, and others of note who
appear in the cast are Charles
Ogle. Tully Marshall, Alan Hale.
Guy Oliver, Ethel Wales and
Johnny Fox.

THUNDERGATE.
AFuM TO BE
SEEN

Seldom has the authorial mind
wandered through more intricate
plot mazes; rarely has a more
original, ornate web of fancy been
woven than that spun by Sidney
Hershell Small in his dramatic
and altogether compelling novel,
''The Lord Of Thundergate,"
which forms the basis for First
Nationals particularly good adap-
tation 'Thundergate," which con-
stitutes the major part of the
program at the Metropolitan this
week.
One could hardly expect such a
title as "Thundergate" to be less
then melodramatic. If you will
accept our opinion, no expectation
you may entertain on this subject
will surpass actually. It is melo-
drama in the most melo sense of
the word, and yet, as il rarely
the case, it is perfectly probable
and logical. Stirring events are
crowded upon each other In rapid
sequence which strange to say,
adds to the general effect, rather
than detracts from it. We feel
safe in assuring you that interest
is never permitted to flag in this
one. An uninterrupted enter
tainment awaits you.
Owen Moore, starring in "Thun-
dergate" scatters his dust about
with careless ease and seems
equally convincing as either OF
the personalities his dual role
leads him to assume. Really 1t
makes little difference to him, so
it would seem, whether he be the
broad smiling American, Bob
Wells or the stoical Oriental hid
ing behind a mask of sinister in
trigue. Kong Sue, heir presump-
tive to the domains OF Thunder
gate, or Bob Well were equally
well done.
Sylvia Dreamer is rather pas
sively featured and little demand
is made upon her. Virginia Fare
is very good as the American
wait who causes a good bit OF
trouble in certain masculine cir
cIes ana she makes a most whim-
steal Chinese wife, as long as is
necessary. Tully Marshall, who
is deftly emblazoning his chapter
in the book Of the character ac-
tors does some excellent work as
the elder Lord Thundergate. Rob-
ert McKim has a rather inconspic-
uous part.
The overture for the week IL
Raymond" by Thomas, extremely
well played by the Metropolitan
Symphony under Mr.. Breeskin's
direction. This is followed by an
exceptionally melodious special
arrangement of 81 Love You"
from little Jesse James" played
as another offering Of Breeskin's
classical jazz. This number Is
given added effectiveness by the
addition of saxophone and banjo
to the customary instrumental
ton. The applause was so en-
thusiastic last night that the
orchestra had to be brought to
its feet in acknowledgment and
was then forced to repeat the
rendition.

. vincingly cold society butterfly,
who is later hunanized by con-
tact with the charming little boy
she has consented to adopt from
purely selfish motives.
Marie Ault, as dresser, mother,
father, and devoted slave of the
little dancer, should also share
the honors.
Though the final scene is not
the usual happy ending, it is 40
beautifully done and is so logically
the best solution of an otherwise
hopeless tangle that 1t does not
leave one with a feeling Of de-
preston.
The orchestra, directed by
George Wild, contributes its
share toward maintaining an air
of realism throughout. Fox News
and Fun from the Press are adj
ditional features.-M. M.

Colleen Moore.

An appealing melodrama Of the

Washington this week in Broken
Hearts Of Broadway" which IS
being shown for the first four
days of the current week at Gran

in philosophy, the hard little
truth that Broadway must break
before 1t will make. Impartially
and indifferently it views the
young hopefuls who come to
plead their cause and just as in
differently it burns out, or let's
die out, the first white flame in
their hearts. Then, IL they can
coax a blaze from the ashes,
Broadway will consider them.

President Harding Dead.

The President is dead, Long live
the President. President Harding
died at san Francisco at T.SO p m.
last Thursday night. Four hours
later, at $50 a. m Friday morning
eastern time Calvin Coolidge OF
Massachusetts took the oath of ONCE
as President in the Vermont farm
house where he was born, his father
administering the oath.
President Harding's death came
without warning, of apopleXy, and
when the nation, after a week OF
anxiety during his serious illness,
was breathing a prayer of gratitude
at the report of the attending phy-
sicians that he was on the road to
recovery.
And to-day the country is in
mourning. not for a President only,
but for man, for MIR. Harding was
a man of the people, a loYable
man, a man of many close friend
ships. Of human sympathies and un-
4 derstanding.
Mr.. Harding had received the
highest honor this-~ country can
bestow: he had assumed Office when
the country was facing some of the
most difficult problems it was ever
called. upon to solve; he had handled
affairs with frmness, with courage
with rare Judgment and always with
an eye to the greatest good for the
greatest number No man could
please all, but to-day all unite, re-
gardless Of party, in paying tribute
to the man who gave the best he
had.
And so he died, at the pinnacle OF
his career-loved by his friends, ad'
mired by his foes, honored by all
Nothing could add to his stature
and he is spared the trials of another
bitter Presidential campaign,
Warren G. Harding had nothing
to gain by living; the nation loses
much in his death.

ENDS OWN LIFE.
Hollis N. Mosley, Ill and Despondent,
Shoots Himself


The accidental shot that killed his
son Walter more than two years ago,
may almost be said to have ended
| the life of Hollis N. Mosley Sunday
evening. Mr.. Mosley had been in
| i'll health for several years. The
! death of his son, who was killed on
November 13, 1920, by the acct
| dental discharge of shotgun in the
hands of playmate, William
| Brown, was a blow to him from
which he never recovered. 1t had
preyed upon his mind ever since.
Frequently he had said that the
boys face was always before him,
and he never awoke in the morning
without feeling that the boy was
in the house, and he would go to his
room hoping to find him there.
Saturday he worked in the hot
sun, haying, and this aggravated his
trouble. Sunday evening, while his
wife and other members of the fam
lily were in another part of the
house at his home on State street,
he took his rifle, went out into the
barn, and Joined the son for whom
he had so long mourned.
Mr.. Mosley was sixty years of age.
He was born in West Ellsworth, and
this city had always been his home.
He was an industrious and worthy
citizen, and his sad death is regret
ted by the many friends of the fam
lily. He had for some time been en-
ployed in the hardwood factory.
He leaves, besides a widow, two
