BOBS HER HAIR
FOR FILM PART
Miss Nilsson Shows Nerve
In Clipping Locks
For Movies

If there Is ever a sudden decline in
the ambition of the girls of the land
to become motion picture stars it will
be due in large measure to Anna Q.
Nilsson. noted leading woman.
Here is the reason:
In order to play a masquerading role
in "POnjOla" the fair Anna had to part
with her hair, of which she was just
" fond. When other actresses heard
of Annals sacrifice they shuddered. 1t
was incomprehensible that it took
nerve"
Annals nerve came in good stead
when she was signed up to play the
leading feminine role in Flowing
Gold, First National picture pro-
duced by Richard Walton Tully and
directed by Joe De Grasse. Mr.. Tully
warned her that the role was a dan
geroas one. but that didn't make any
difference to her. But she didn't know
that nature does not heed the bidding
of authors. even of Rex Beach, who
wrote Flowing. Gold
In one scene she had TO rescue Mil
ton Stills from the vicinity of a burn
ing oil derrick. She did so in a real
istie manner, bnt when she looked Mt
herself in the mirror a short time
later she discovered that her face had

Gray's arguments have no effect and
he decides that he must thrash the boy

Gray, Buddy and Allie are at the old
Briskow ranch expecting the blowing

in the resultant excitement and Buddy
rides through storm for a doctor. The
valley is flooded by a cloud-burst and

NEW LYRIC BILL
TOOPEN MONDAY
Two Headline Acts Play
Half Week Engage
ment Here :

Two headliners on the same bill and
two more featured numbers of the five
acts of big-time Keith vaudeville, this
is the high quality program which will
be offered patrons of the Lyric theatre
the first half of this week, beginning
with the matinee Monday afternoon.
The first headIiner is the Patricia
Fay and Johnny Weston Revue, with
the Royal Garden Six.
Patricia Fay and Johnny Weston,
just completed worlds tour doing one
comedy song and five dances. They
have replaced their pianist with a six
piece jazz band presenting II fast min
utes of fast dancing and music sur
rounded with elaborate stage setting
and costumes; youth, speed and origin
atty predominant in the presentation
of this act. Each dance is original
and unlike any being done now in
America. ~
Billy Beard, THE Party from The
South" known wherever vaudeville is
known, is the second headliner.
Billy Beard is a monologist Of ocular
tendencies who brings an advance
showing of all the smart sayings and
Quieting retorts in addition to two popu-
lar songs. Billy is royal good enter
tainer whose streaming conversation is
filled with humor that should make you
forget your troubles temporarily at
least.
The added attraction is "Cost to
Cost" with Andrew Lewis and Pansy
Norton. This is satire in four scenes,
written by Jack Lat, and it is de-
clared to be one of the cleverest things
of it's kind seen in sometime.
The SPECIAL feature brings Sharon
Stephens, with Della Bordeaux and
Maybelle Mignon in "They Never
Change" This is described as a fun
ny domestic wrangle, involving a man
and wife and girl and a song.

CAPITOL PICTURE
IS BLACK OXEN
COrinne Griffith Stars
In Lloyd Production, r
With Fine Cast

BLACK Oxen" Frank Lloyd pro-
ductiOn, released through First Ma
tional Pictures, and featuring Corinne
Griffith and Conway Tearle. is to be
the photoplay offering at the Capitol
theatre, Monday and Tuesday, and the
booking is looked upon as one of the
big cinema events of the season.
The best selling novel of 1923, in
book form: BLACK Oxen" is said to
have been greatly enhanced by the elab-
crate filming Mr.. Lloyd has given it.
Dealing with the romance that develops
when the rejuvenated Madame Zatianny
returns to America on business trip
and finds the first true love she has
known, BLACK Oxen" presents more
than usual interest to picturegoers, it
is said. Mfr. Lloyd, with the aid of
Mary O'Hara, prepared the scenario
from which the film play was made,
and as n result, critics state, the story
runs its length with pleasing rapidity
and increasing interest.
Corinne Griffith. regarded as one of
filmdOm's most beautiful and smartest
dressed stars, essays the difficult dual
charter of Madame Zatianny, and Con-
way Tearle has been cast as the TO-
manceless newspaper writer, Lee
Clavering. Clara Bow, 17-year-old
girl who but recently made her screen
debut, was selected for the role of the
happerish Janet Oglethorpe from more
than so well known screen ingenues
and established flspper types; Alan
Hale is seen as Prince ALOritz Won
Hohenhauer; Kate Lester, as Jane
OglethOrpe; Harry NIestayer, as Jim
Oglethorpe; Claire MacDowell, as
Agnes Trevor; Clarissa Selwynne, as
Cora Dwight; Tom Guise, as Judge
Trent, and Lincoln Stedman, as Donnie

and an utter disregard for Mr.. Vol

way successes. DeForrest Dawley has
been playing leads for the last two
years.
The Jefferson Resident Players is pro-
nounced one of the best-balanced or
CARNATIONS of the kind ever gathered
together. "The Alarm Clock" was
chosen as its initial offering because of
| its newness.
The story is that of a rich young
bachelor, Bobby Brandon, who has been
hitting up the high spots and neglect
ing his tonsils or his teeth or something,
and lays himself with case of rheuma-
tism. The malady is taken advantage
of by the charming wife of a senator
to act as a red light warning to the
young man. He is told that he must
slow down, eat simply, drink nothing
but water. live simply, turn in every
| night at 10 o'clock and refrain from
anything exciting the result will
be fatal.
This cheering line of mortuary dope
is handed to him by his physician at
the request of the enamoured wife of
the senator, who hopes thereby to keep
him away from the other cuties. In
further plotting against his wild anti
Bryan ways the wife of the senator
lands upon him as house guests, his
newphew from a rural back-water, the
nephew'S fiancee and the mother of the
