FALLS THURSDAY NIGHT

Although heavy snow falls in the
mountains have been reported for
the past week or more. the first to
fall In this valley came with the
storm that started about 5 o'clock
Thursday evening and continued
internationally throughout the
night. About three inches of snow
was on the ground when the storm
abated Friday fore noon. The snow is
wet and heavy and it is not believed
it will stay if the weather continues
mild. The first snow this year is
much earlier than in ordinary years
for this valley. The last year that
snow fell here in November was in
1915.
Three feet of snow at Easton was
reported Wednesday morning. The
report said it was still falling
heavily and that the state on that
day had abandoned for the winter

A publicity campaign of nation

personal letters to business men in
the east as part of his regular English

The best of these are to be sent to
known addresses. Business men will
be asked to add postscripts to their
correspondence containing some men,
ton of Washington's advantages and
resources. Former residents and new
settlers will be asked to boost for
Washington in letters to home news
papers.
AS part of the campaign, railroad
folders for the month will contain
paragraphs boosting for Washington.
Mr.. Scots, secretary of the Yakima
Commercial club, has prepared copy
for this advertisement which he sums
Up under the heading, Fourteen rea-
sons why one should FIND. peace,
pleasure and prosperity in the Ever
green state" His compilation is for
the most part from statistics taken
from the United States census reports
and from the report of the secretary
of state. :. :.

DEFECTIVE EYE SIGHT

Defective eyesight is directly res
ponsible for much of the backward
ness, stupidity, apparent laziness and
truancy found among school children
declares DR.. Paul A. Turner, Direc-
or of the State Department of
Health. Even simply visual tests
reveal rs per cent Of the school
children with symptoms of eyestrain
and many are contending with vis-
ion so defective that their mental
development is seriously retarded.
The child who is Backward, and
who cannot keep up with his grade
may be struggling against conditions
which he himself does not realize or
which he is too shy to speak of.
Nearsightedness often makes it inn
possible for him to see the black
board, and sd to understand what the
teacher is trying to tell him. He drops
behind in classes, when proper test
ing and fitting with glasses would
bring him up to his grade with no
difficulty whatever. :.
More than so per cent Of school
children have eye defects Of suffi-
cient degree to warrant correction
although a large proportion of these
defects are not indicated by vision
below normal, according to bulle-
tin from the Eye Sight Conservation
Council. Every child of school age
should receive periodically an eye
examination for defective vision par
ticularly if the child seems to be hav-
ng difficulty in making his grade
DR.. Turner points out.
School room conditions in many
instances should be corrected in or
der to have proper lighting. If the
arrangement Of seats does not permit
the light to fall over the shoulder, if
a glare is reflected from brightly
polished desks or from the black
board the children suffer and exist
ing defects of vision become more
marked.

THEATERS
RUTH ST. DENIS DANCE
INSPIRED BY EMPRESS

Sarah Bernhard found one of her
most successful plays in the theme of
Theodore, wife of Constantine, that
Roman emperor who first made Chris
tianity the official religion of Rome.
Now Ruth st. Denis, as great in the
world of the dance, as Bernhard was
in the realm of the drama, finds that
Theodore is even better as a subject
for dance drama than for spoken
drama. For you see the real Theodo-
ra began her career as a dancer IN
the circus. The circus of Imperial
Rome was as smart as polo, as popu-
lar as a-national series baseball game
or an international prizefight, more
exacting than the movies, for there
was no censorship. All Rome headed
by the emperor attended. Thus it was
a wonderful opportunity for the young
and ambitious performer provided he
or she was able to escape the deadly
lions and deadlier intrigues. This one
ambitious girl did-for the Emperor

shortly by forbidden Paradise" and
"A Woman Scorned," also booked for
showing at Aberdeen theaters.
Lilly of the Dust" written for the
screen by Paul Bern, is based on the
novel, '"The Song of Songs" It's a
tense drama of life and love with
the charming continental star in her
greatest acting role. Critics acclaim
ed the legitimate play, "The Song Of
Songs" veritable sensation. When
you see the screen version of the
story you will do the same thing.
Here's a great story, made by a
great director. And that's not all, not
by long shot. Ben Lyon, one of the
most ikeable of the screens younger
leading men; Noah Berry, who needs
no word of introduction to picture
patrons, and Raymond Griffith ap-
pear in the leading roles in support of
the star. Others include William J..

PATTON IS COMING IN
SHEPHERD OF HILLS

There is an atmosphere around the
peculiar comedian w. B. Patton, that
asserts itself in every character he
creates. 1t is the force and artistic
refinement of his methods that
reaches out over the footlights and
compels admiration, and in "The Shep-
herd of the Hills" Mr.. Patton has
unlimited opportunities to display
the wonderful magnetism of his per-
sonality. He plays the part with the
proper spirit Of comedy and serious
ness. He touches it at every point
with the highest kind of art.
Theater patrons who really appre-
ciate a commendable theatrical pro-
duction will have an opportunity to
see a stage production of Harold Bell
Wright's famous book that has re-
ceived international honors and hon.
age. To many local readers of the
book, the play will have particular
appeal, for the story has been trans
planted to the stage exactly as it was
written. From Sammy Lane" down
to "Little Pete" all of the characters
have been brought to life with abso-
lutte realism; the result has been
a true portrayal of life, and extremely
interesting for those who have read
the book, and fascinating for those
who have not perused the printed
pages.
Mr.. Patton supported by a select
cast of players will be seen in "The
Shepherd of the Hills" at the Grand
on Sunday, November 30.

Constantine was so taken with her
beauty and her dancing that he mar
ried her-made her his empress. All
went merrily until Theodore saw the
beautiful young Justinian and COM
pared him with her husband who, en-
porer though he was, showed his age
in lack of hair and gain in girth. She
persuaded Justinian to murder Con-
stantine and become emperor in his
stead. After a life of such good
deeds we read of Theodore being very
pious in her old age-making presents
to the church and leading a most
exemplary life.
Ruth st. Denis takes the situation
of the first meeting with Justinian as
the episode on which to build her
dance Interpretation of Theodore, with
Ted Shawn as Justinian.

studied by this great artistic pre-
sent the costumes, so heavily gor-
geous, beautifully and correctly, and
most fortunately, Albert Herter,
the great American painter, became
enthusiastic and has painted for her
a set of three Byzantine mosaic
screens which make marvellous
decorative setting for this device. The
costume consists of an outer circu-
lar cape of heavy brocade with wide
patterns. Theodora's crown and colt
fure are an exact replica of the way
Theodore appears in the mosaic in
the church at Revenna, Italy.

"Unguarded Women" which is to
open at the Wier theater next Men
day for a four days run, is an adapta-
ton of that story-the history Of how
man of honor brings back to social
esteem a girl whose love of gaiety
makes her society outcast. It is
intensely dramatic, full of suspense,
with a strong and fine love interest
and happy climax.
1t was evidently the aim Of the
producers to leave no stone unturned
or rather to leave no actor out of the
cast who could successfully contrib
ute to the logical Interpretation of
the difficult roles the photoplay calls
for. The result is that we have an
army of talent that should satisfy
the most fastidious. Bebe Daniels,
Richard Dix and Mary Astor are fea-
tured at the head of superb cast
that includes Walter McGrail, Frank
Loslee, Harry Messenger, Joe King,
Helen Lindroth and Donald Hall, all
Of them exceptionally well fitted by
training and temperament for their
respective organizations.
To further insure a high-grade pro-
duction, Alan Grassland was entrusted
with the responsibility of directing
the picture. Since Mr.. Grassland has
to his credit such screen successes as
Enemies of Women" "Under the Red
Robe, Three Weeks" etc., it is safe
to predict that no one will find fault
with the settings, costumes and back
grounds. Incidentally it may be of
interest to mention that most of the
action takes place in Pekin, China, a
locale that is admittedly chockful Of
atmosphere and color.
