NEXT ROAD PLAY
 BOTE SKINNER.
Distinguished Actor To Open Jefferson Thurs
 day In sSaucho Panza' 7

Here is an unusual combinations q dramatic version of Cervantes' immortal "Don Quixote" and Otic Skinner. Taken : singiy,. one of these occasions might be looked as something of an event, but both on one program is indeed feast of fat things -an enticing theatrical table d'hote.
 This apropos of the coming Otis Skinner to Jefferson theater next Thursday for three night performances, with q matinee Saturday, in MelchOir Lengyeps heroic comedy. "Sancho Pan- za," based on several of the more popu- lar sepisodes in Miguel de Ceryantes' story, "Don Quixote de la Mancha." !
 If you know your ''Don Quixote' (and who does not?) you will recall the adventure of Sancho PanZa and his donkey, Dapple, when they set forth to govern the Island of Barataria. It is on this episode in the Crevantes' story that the play ''Sancho Panza" is based. Mir. Skinner, of course, plays Sancho, and from all accounts the donkey shares honors with him throughout the action. In the play Saneho does not fail in his government contrary to the book, bis reign is of such successful propor- tions as to cause the townspeopie to de- mand his permanent retention as their lord and master. But the sorrows of the populace are too much for the ten der-heartedt Sanch and he eventually leaves for his own little countryside, an dtakes his faithful Dapple back with him. His closing speech is typical of the character; Empty in pocket l came, and empty in pocket go--so you see am not like other governors v
 We are promised a most elaborate production of this play, with the stag, ing in the hands of Richard Boleslaw- sky, fthe Moscow Art theater. There are songs and special music by Hug" Felix, composed of "Lassie," "Pom Pom," "Marjolaine" and other sue cesses, and dances and ensembles have been arranged by Bert French, late Of the New York Music Box Revue ! So it seems eyeident Mir. Skinner has quite an Arabian Nights spectacle to enhance the dramatic values of "Sanchon Panza." The costumes, which are ot the old Spain of the Sixteenth century, should be most attractive. The design ing of the entire wardrobe has been placed in the hands of James Reynolds, creator of costumes for the Zeigfeld ''Follies."
 @The play is making a countrywide tour after long engagements at the Hudson theater. New York, and Pow CTS theater, Chicago. -

REALTO'S SHOW
 IS ROBIN HOOD.
Douglas Fairbanks Plays Leading Role In
 Famous Film

Since very early times even the most stalwart and fearless of soldiers have shown a tendency to lose courage in the midst of battle if for any reason their flag was lowered. This obtains today and although it generally IS ascribed to the element of pride, never theless it seems more logical to con cede that hereditary instinct Ito lose heart under signals of distress" has been handed down to the present gen eration by the warriors of the twelfth century. This interesting point IS brought out in spirit in the notable mo- tion picture, Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood', in which Douglas Fair banks portrays the title role, and which. under United Artists releases is coming to the Rialto theater.
 According to the chronicles of the Crusades as written by one who ac- companied the memorable expedition King Richard led in person, the flag staff he kept constantly in the fore most guard was formed of long beam, like the mast of skip, the whole structure put together with joints bound with iron. To all appearances no sword or axe could cut 1t nor could fire damage It. A cnosen pody OA BUT diers was appointed to guard it, es- pecially in combat on the plains, lest. by any hostile attack, it should be broken or thrown down. s
 This system of guarding it against such lalamity was vital since if it fell through any cause, the army would be dispersed in confusion, for they? were dismayer when it did not appear, and the first thought of each soldier was that their commander had been over. come by faint-heartedness. Innately no people have strength to resist the ene- my if their chief should happen to be in alarm and the fall of the stand ard invariably inspired this disquiet- ing conclusion.
 However, so long as the standard re- mained erect the cohorts of the lion hearted monarch of England fought furiously in the belief that they pos sessed a certain refuge. Near that standard the weak were strengthened. The wounded soldiers, even those of rank and celebrity, who fell in battle, were carried to it and it was called standard" because of its standing as a most compact and inspiring signal for the achieving of victory.

has never ceased to love and the final thrilling and satisfying endins are grippingly portrayed in series of tense dramatic situations that tug at the heartstrings.

SPRING VALLEY SCRIBE
COMPOSES WEIRD YARN

Bro. Lowater, Of the Spring Val
ley Sun, evidently wasn't acquainted
with The Journal editors reputation
as marksman or he'd never have
tried 20 get by with the following
yarn which appeared in his paper
last week:
"The other day editor Morse, of
the River Falls Journal, started up
the street carrying Winchester rifle
something new for him, as his
usual weapon is a casting rod.
"Jokingly he told a friend on the
stress that he was out hunting de-
linquent subscribers, as he needed
some money; but group who over
heard the remark did not know that
Stan was joking, and passed the
word,
"Three men whom he met that
afternoon paid him goodsized ac-
counts Of long standing, and on his
return to the office he found load
ct hay, some wood, twenty head of
cabbage, sixteen bushels of potatoes
and $84.63 in money that had been
brought in"

insuperable difficulties OF running

our most northern possession, cut
off those out-of-thc-way places from
communication with the States or

All this is made possible by the

Of their lives-the usual tour of duty

cans, isolated physically by the
rigors of climate and topography, in
close touch mentally with everything

The story of binding Alaska to the

hardships patiently endured and the
overcoming of obstacles with de-

American whether in uniform or out

with the coming of radio all that
