A BIJMPY COURSE
FOR LOVE
TO RIDE

According to Shakespeare, ''tl1e
course Of true love never did run
smooth" but it is left to Earl
Derr Biggers to show how ter
ribIy bumpy that course may be
for the lovers, while providing
plenty Of merriment for the
spectators. This he does in 1.-THE.
Reckless Age originally called
Love Insurance. which Is a
far better title for this Universal
picture-the first Carl Laemnle
has presented at the Rialto since
taking over the house some time
ago.
It is a lively story based on
the extreme willingness of PEN
niless European peers to bestow
their titles upon equally willing
American heiresses. This one Is
q bit more ingenious, however;
he takes out a policy for 500, 900
to insure himself against total
loss in case anything prevents
the wedding, which is set for Fri
day the thirteenth.
Naturally the insurance COM
pany is equally as anxious that
the wedding take place, and sends
its confidential agent Reginald
Denny to see that 1t does. Jour
neying to the scene Of his mis-
ision, Denny meets and falls In
love with the prospective bride,
only to find at the end Of his
eventful ride that he is in honor
bound to see that she marrtes
another.
Was fate ever more cruel?
Literally everything seems to
threaten loss for the insurance
company. even to the girl exer-
cising woman's perogative and
changing her mind In Denny's
favor. OF course, he has his
hands full fixing things for
the helpless Lord narrowly CWil-
liam AUSTIN, and is quite a busy
young man, his duties requiring,
among other things, that he whip.
single-handed, an entire news
paper office. Then-but it would
be unfair to tell how Mr., Biggers
manages this complicated situa-
ton. Suffice 1t to say that you'll
have jolly time finding out.
Many good short films, togeth-
er with a Hal Roach scream,
supplement the feature, an1 as
lis usual with Roach's gang, the
comedy Is a show In itself. M. M.

British Press Hears That officials of Persian Government Tried To Stop Anu-U. s. Outbreak.

| London. July 3o.--According to the
 Morning Post the Persian legation here is in receipt of an offiical state ment from Teheran declaring that contrary 10 other advices the Persian police made a great effort to rescue Major Imbrie, the American vice con- sul, who was killed by mob in the Persian capital last week. One police manman was killed in this endeavor and several were injured, it is stated
 Far from neglecting their duty by failing to prevent the crowd from breaking into the hospital where I'm brie had been removed, it is declared the police actually arrested practically everybody implicated in the hospital attack.
 The government stated that some days prior to the disturbance much sectarian feeling was manifest among the participants in the religious dem onstrations going on in Teheran. The police and soldiers therefore had been cautioned to avoid any action tending to aggravate the over-eXcted state of the crowds, the government not for. a moment anticipating that grounds would arise for an attack on foreign residents. It was in view of this, the statement says, that the police with held firing upon the mob when Major Imbrie was attacked.

The town of Three Lakes surely
cares for the winter traffic by
keeping their highways open dur

first of the week shows the main
roads to be free from drifts and
are kept that way by rolling them
With the / .er and team, a set
of heavy chains are used, and IN
this manner all drifts and rough
spots are leveled off and hardened
by traffic. The roadbed is kept
open for width of at least TWEEN

by cars and sleighs. Three Lakes
