Glenn Hunter And Merton
 Come To Strand ' Ton1n10roW
Movie Version Of Noted Harry Leon Wilson S
 Novel Booked To Show Here

If Grade-A comedy, genuine novelty and wholesome love-interest appeal to you in picture, this ones made to or der for you.
 It is told in "Merton of the Movies,' the novel and play by Harry Leon Will son, which took the country by storm.
 The plot is too well known to need retelling in detail. It concerns an awk- ward, country youth who is consumed with a desire to become famous motion picture star. What happens to him when he goes to Hollywood, his trials, his earnest, pathetic strivings, his cruel disillusionments and his final unsus- pecting triumph constitute one of the really great epics of the screen.
 Glenn Hunter has been identified with the character of Merton so long on the stage that it was natural to expect he would create the title role in the screen version. He plays Merton with such sincerity and feeling that for the time being you forget that he is acting.
 Too much praise can hardly be given to Glenn Hunter for his admirable DOT

CALLS SOVIET A BEAST"
Fannie Hurst Loses All Admiration
 For Reds After Visit To Russia.

Miss Fannie Hurst took over with her to Russia recently the powers of intelligent and accurate observation of her fellow men and women which her novels so often have illustrated. She also carried with her what she thought was an immutable conviction that the present rulers of Russia were making highly laudable reform in the con duct of human affairs, and that they deserved the sympathy and encourage ment which, with grief, regret and some indignation, she saw so many people here refusing to give them.
 In other words, Miss Hurst was, or supposed herself to be, an admirer of the ideas and ambitions of which the soviet government is the largest expo sition yet seen in the world.
 Now she is on her way home. She has travelled westward as far as Paris, and dispatch in the Herald-Tribune quotes her as making with character istic energy and lucidity statements that reveal decided change of mind She described sovietism as "a great beast, half stupid, half mad, on it's back in death agony" She found only in Trotsky "the white light of inspiration, ' | whatever lHdI may IuedIlI Uul bOIh Petrograd and Moscow were to her hor- rible places, their inhabitants sunk in ! deepest poverty, and on every face 'nothing but fear. overwhelming fear '
 To sum it all up, she says that she is ready "to climb down from teh soapboX forever"
 It is evident that in brief visit Miss Hurst saw enough to convince her that her former beliefs about the soviet gov ernment were in need of thorough re vision. She is not the first to undergo like change. Emma Goldman, Il woman much more red" than Miss Hurst ever was, had the same expert ence in Russia. So have not few other long distance observers of the communists who were rash enough to become close observers. York Times.

SELECTED CAST
 TO PLAY RAIN
Much Talked Of Show Made Great Hit On
 Broadway

"Rain," the great drama of the South Seas, undoubtedly the biggest success of its kind ever seen on Broadway, will be presented by Sam II. Harris at the lief ferson for three days, commencing to- morrow night with q matinee on We'd nesday.
 When it was produced at the Maxine Elliott theater over two years ago and still on Broadway, the hit scored was so enormous that the house was sold out, not for weeks, but months in ad- vance, and no one play ever drew more comment from the critics than did this dramatization of w. Somerset Maugh- am's story. Miss Thompson" and the advance sale indicates that the house will be sold out here.
 The scenes in Rain are laid on the Island of Tutuila, small one in the large group of the South Sea Is lands, and one that is under the govern ment of the United States. The story concerns principally a young woman of the underworld, who, finding it not at all comfortable in America, comes there thinking that she will be undisturbed, but Sadie Thompson, the young woman in question, has surmised wrongly, for on the same ship arrives a missionary. the Rev. Davidson. who might be called oyerzealous in the cause of religion. He makes it very uncomfortable for Sadie and a complication ensues which causes him to comit suicide. It IS strange tale of human emotions and one that while it may not solve great problem will certainly cause everyone who sees it to think, and that is some thing after all.
 .s In the big cast that will be seen here are Hilda Vaughn as Sadie Thompson, Augusta Dungeon, c. Norman Ham, mond, Edward F. Nannery, Hans Rob erts, Kenneth Fox, Alec Hartford, How ard H. Gibson, Mary Angel, Emma Raff and others.

she portrays. The crowns she wears are said to be especially gorgeous.
 The title gives one the idea of the play. One of the subtitles informs us of the fact that one out of every seven marriages today ends in divorce. It is a very frank, well handled photo- play of phase of the divorce problem and the cast, including Doris Kenyon. James Rennia, Montagu Love, and Naomi Childers go to make it a well worth while attraction.
 Every evening after o'clock, Phil ippe s. Powell, the organist at the Capitol, will render especially selected music for the feature picture.

While three 1rishmen were rowing on river, writes a contributor to an American weekly paper, their boat up- set. Only one9of them could swim and he promptly made for the nearest bank, leaving his companions clinging to the bottom of the capsized craft. Soon, however, the swimmer returned, and one by one rescued his imperilled friends.
 When they were all safe on the bank one of the men inquired of the rescuer, "Mullaney, why didn't ye take wan of us the first trip ye made to shore stead O goin' empty-handed?

STAFF PREDICTS THE 1925
WOOL CLIP WILL YIELD
SO CENTS ON MARKET

That EASTERN wool buyers are
endeavoring TO contract for Nom
tana 1925 wool clips at 40 cents
pound and that the sheep men
should receive so cents for these
same clips If properly marketed, Is
set forth in telegram recently re-
ceived by the Montana Wool
Growers association from Matt
Staff. president of the National
Wool Warehouse & Storage Co.,
of Chicago, which concern has
handled much of the Montana pro-
duct i'm recent years.
His wire follows: dealers are
now attempting to contract Mon
tana 1926 clips ut 40 cents. In
view of the fact that 1924 clips
are now easily marketable at well
above 30 cents In Boston and fine
staple territory is quoted at $3.50
clean and Is steadily advancing,
and in view of short supply, ac-
tivity Of dealers and larger tom
mage being taken by manufacture
crs on increasing orders for fin
ished product, our judgment is
That the next clip will bring 80
cents or better, If properly mar
keted, and that contracting at
this time would be indefensible.
''As indicating the trend of the
market, we have sold the j. Il.
Rapstad, Big Timber, 1924 clip
at 53 cents, delivered In Boston,
netting him around 10 cents more
than he could have sold for at

Hideous Coyote Robs
HEN Roosta Inn Eastern
States Defies Firearms

The ranchers near Mccaha,
north OF Milestone, have been hunt
ing queer animal, thought to be
- cross between coyote and
wolf, which has been robbing hen
roosts and killing turkeys and
small pigs in that vicinity.
1t is said that the creature is
larger than the ordinary coyote and
is almost black in color. 1t seems to
be afflicted with the mango, for al
though his coat seems to be thick and
heavy, there is no hair on its tail,
which gives 1t an unusually hideous
appearance. One rancher said that
he had q chance to shoot it but re-
Trained when he saw the condition
of It's tail. thinking he would have
an opportunity to kill it later in the
season when 1t had recovered from
the mango, and its coat was per-
feet. Two or three days after this
the same rancher lost number of
chickens and upon watching, dis
covered the same coyote sneaking
around his pig pen. He went to the
house for his gun, but upon his re-
turn found that the animal had dis
appeared and has not since seen him.
However, he has boldly mace his ap-
pearance at several other ranches In
the neighborhood in daylight, and
has robbed numerous flocks Of chick
ems. Several ranchers have tried to
shoot him, but he seems to have an
uncanny knowledge of fire arms and
keeps out of sight when there is a
gun in the neighborhood.

do not look for any better action.
The st0cker and feeder trade IL about
the worst Of the season. All buyers seem
to be holding off until they are more

be more in line with what they think
they should pay. Last Saturday we sold
1872 head of feeding steers and yearlings
that averaged little better than 800 lbs,

Hereford steers, aud was the top sale for
this weight of cattle for the year. They
