Rialto-" Three Women

tons in Three Women" the Ernst

weeks run at the Rialto Theater yes

Somehow. strolling down that long
lobby after viewing this photoplay
ones thoughts run to the fact that it
is sad commentary on human nature
that 1t expects man to be constantly
SURPRISING his previous masterpieces.
Thus 1t was with the Lubitsch of
Passion and the Lubitsch of Three
Women" Because the latter did not
come up to what the former gave the
right to expect, at least one Of those
who sat through the presentation yes
terday was disappointed. And the dis
appointment was not the less keen be-
cause of the sincerity of the effort that
failed to produce the enjoyment of
dramatic situations which was antici-
pated.
When such tried and proved screen
performers as Lew Cody, Pauline Fred

there is something amiss somewhere.

Palace" The Navigator" "

Buster Keaton firmly upholds his
Iaurels. in his latest film, 1.-THE
Navigator" which is shown at the
Palace Theater this week. Entirely
aside from the comical aspects of
each situation, Mr.. Keaton's talent for
giving the human touch and the
reality of his reaction in every in
genius in this picture. There is only
small select group of comedies of
the past at which entire audiences
have shrieked Historically. The
Navigator may be added to this
group.
The story is a satire on the well
known plot of young man and girl
alone on ship that drifts to sea and
Is wrecked near a cannibaIs islan nd,
where the natives waver between be-
lieving the wrecked couple to be
white gods and suspicion that they
are merely material for a juicy dim
ner. Suspicion wins and the natives
pursue the white couple until a
miraculous rescue ends the chase.
In THE Navigator the hero is a
wealthy young chap who has played
all his life and never taken things
seriously until he falls in love and Is
Tilted by his sweetheart because she
doesn't consider him an asset matri-
monially- He plans to sail for
Europe, but gets on the wrong ves-
sci, ship belonging to the heroine's S
father, and the girl herself comes on
board to seek her parent Enemies
of the girls father cut the vessel
from it's moorings and then the ad-
venture begins with these two, both
unused to taking care of themselves,
alone on the large ship. Their early
cooking experiments, their final ar
rangements for sleeping quarters in
the boilers of the ship, Busters duel
with a swordhsh in deep water. and
the fight with the cannibals are high
lights for laughter in the film. Kath-
ryn Mcclure gives Buster excellent
support in all the scenes. The couple
offer a reminder Of Charles Chaplin
and Edna Purviance before Mr.. Chap
lin became a millionaire.

Metropolitan" "Sundown.

"Sundown," the First National pic
ture at CrandalIs Metropolitan this
week. presents an Imposing spectacle
of the last of the caItlemen of the
great Western ranges.
A tremendous stampede of what
must have been thousands of cattle,
which actually wreck an entire house;
a ensational prairie fire; long, long
trails of cattle, winding off into the
distance, as far as the eye can reach;
the story of a great love developed
In the face of dire hardship-these
elements all fuse into a whole which
breathes of the grandeur of heroics.
It cannot fail to remind one of The
Covered Wagon"
Perhaps it could scarcely be said
that this picture approaches the class
of a real epic. In spots 1t is a bit
slow-moving and "posey." 1t might
be more spirited with a stronger
antithesis or a meaner villain. But

WILL SPEED WORK
TO AID VETERANS

Decentralization Of the United
States veterans bureau, whereby med
ical claims and compensation awards
affecting thousands of World war vet
Grams can now be made In the field,
has been ordered by Frank T. Hines,
director Of the bureau, in general
order calling for the organization Of
fifty-one regional offices in as many
cities where the bureaus activities are
greatest.
The Reed-Johnson veterans bill.
sponsored by the American Legion and
passed by the last congress, called for
the decentralization of the bureaus
activities. It was pointed out by Wat
son B. Miller, chairman of the Amer
ican Legion national rehabilitation
committee, in framing the Reed-Jolm-
son bill, that the regional system of
handling disabled veteran cases would
speed up the work and enable the
could otherwise be handled.
Decentralization will supplant the
paper rating system, which has been
in vogue, whereby veterans case is
passed upon without the claimant ever
having had personal contact with the
bureau officials deciding his claim.
The new regional offices will be
charged with the proper conduct of
the bureaus business in the territory
for which they are designated and will
have, subject to final action by the d.
rector in case of appeal, the following
powers:
/. Examining of claimants and bene-
ficiaries, the making of medical rat
ings and awarding Of compensation
claims.
2. Granting of vocational training,
supervision of training and obtaining
employment opportunities.
: g. Granting of medical, surgical,
dental, hospital care, convalescent
care and necessary and reasonable
after-care.
f. When specifically authorized,
making payments for compensation,
training allowance and for administra-
ton expenditures.

Curiosity Nearly Cost
Life of American Boy

One of the most sensational escapes
from a German military camp during
the World war was made by Legion
naire Harry Warren Atkinson of Chi
cago, who recently related the details
of the escape to Capt. George H. NAL
lon, chairman of the Hennepin county
(Minn.) board of commissioners.
In October, 1918, Atkinson was a
prisoner at the Rheims temporary
prison camp. Each day he saw Ger
man aviation officer drop down on the
prison camp and leave his machine
while he walked over about half mile
on trip of inspection. One day At
kinson thought he would try an air
plane ride, although he had never
driven one before. That, however, did
not deter him. He got in and headed
for the French lines in a German
plane. French anti-aircraft guns soon
found the German Fokker. AT 5000
feet the Fokker was hit The plane
started down When Atkinson awoke
he was in a plaster-of-paris cast in a
hospital. In due course of time he was
given the Legion of Honor.

Frank Luke, Jr., Post
Bears Name of a Hero

The Frank Luke, Jr., post of the
American Legion of Phoenix, Ariz.,
bears the name of a hero of the World
war, according to a letter which was
received by the post adjutant recent
ly from a comrade of Luke's at the
front in France. The letter read:
81 have just learned that your post
is named after brave man who was
in my outfit in France. Frank Luke
was one of our flying officers, while
was merely a mechanic, but we re-
1oiced in his victories and shared in
them in our modest way When these
boys failed to return to our aerodrome
by dark, we spent the better part of
the night shooting flares to direct them
to our field. Then when the news
finally reached US that Frank Luke
had had a forced landing behind the
German lines, that rather than be
made a prisoner, he stood the Huns
off with his automatic until a Mauser
bullet struck him low, we suffered
glorious sorrow and enshrined Frank
Luke in our hearts and memories.
Gentlemen, 1 wish to ask if it would
be possible to admit to your organiza-
ton and post one of Frank Luke's
humblest admirers.
Sincerely,
JOHN B. DAVERON,

Wherever Frank G. Mccormick, of
Sioux Falls, S. D., went in his
professional work as an attorney, fol-
lowing the close of the World war, he
joined up with the American Legion
post and became active in 1t. He did
not think that his home town was the
only place where he could engage sue
cessfully in the work of his organized
comrades of the war days. He went
in, wherever he might be, and made
a place for himself in the local post.
Today Frank Mccormick Is com
mander of the Department of South
Dakota of the Legion. He was elected
to that post at the recent state con-
