A cast selected absolutely for type was chosen, for "The Covered Wagon, q James Cruze production for Para- mount of the famous Emerson Hough novel which will be on view Ut the Rialto theater beginning Monday.
 Lois Wilson plays the heroine--Molly Wingate, a typical girl of frontier days, beautiful, big of soul and with the bravery and stamina that the wild ex- periences of the caravan times demand cd
 James Warren Kerrigan is seen as Will Banion, the intrepid leader whose sterling qualities win through in the face of impending disgrace and hold the heart of Molly despite the efforts of rival to blacken his character. The rival, Sam Woodruff, is portrayed by Alan Hale, noted screen william. Mir Wingate is played by Charles Ogie, noted member of Paramount Stock com pany and Mrs. Wingate by Ethel Wales, who played Aunt Matilda in ''The Old Homestead" Bill Jackson, Jim Bridger and Kit Carson, famous scouts, are in terpreted by Ernest Terrence, Fully Marshall and Guy Oliver, respectively while John Fox does the part of Jed Wingate, boy.
 This is one of the most ambitious efforts of Paramount pictures-and is expected to prove pictorial historical document of immense value aside from a thrilling tale of the days when the west was untamed and largely in the hands of the redskins.
 The picture was made in Utah and Nevada, and the preparations were epochal in their extent, as well as fidelity to the original characters scenes, settings and properties used in the production.

AGREEABLE MEN

In these days of keen competition, the agreeable man gets along better because his competition is much lighter than those others who seem to take exception to everything under the sun just on general principles. It isn't al ways easy to be agreeable, tactful courteous and diplomatic, but it is the fellow who makes the grade that winds up on the top rung of the ladder of success anyone can be a chure.
 The agreeable chap brings light and warmth to the dismal room. His hand clasp means real friendship and his counsel is good, because he sees men and affairs in their true light. Deter mine to make folks like you-not with buncombe, flattery nor false friendship but with true agreeability. Life is diff ficult to understand, and smooth friend ship may cover otherwise rough spots in the path. The world is the friend of the agreeable man.-Mutual End Points.

REVENGE OF DANCE HALLS

 otZ Million a Year


 Those who dance in the licensed dance places of Manhattan pay the piper ut the rate of $3,524,65S a year, accord ing to report made public the other day by the advisory dance hall commit tee of the Womens City club and the city recreation committee which has been Investigating this industry for several months.
 The total includes charges for ad- mission and the fees which are exacted from men in many places for each sep arate appearance on the dance floor. The indirect revenue from coat check ing, refreshments and dancing at spe- ciai rates with the "hostesses," accord ing to the report, would bring the to- tai to five million dollars year.
 Much immortality and drinking IS detailed in a series of sketches of dance halls in an appendix. The circulation of the hip flask and bottle, in most of the places specially treated, is described as extremely rapid. A few places are said to be frequented by drug peddlers, crooks and others of immoral charac- ter. In some resorts the dancing on the floor is pictured as shocking, and the behavior in the galleries as wOrse.- New York Times.
