ELIZABETH BAKER SEEN
ON SCREEN AT CASPER

That Elizabeth Baker. former
Cody girl and well known by many
here, is making good on the screen
is evidenced by the following, which
is taken from the Casper press:
Several screen tests of Elizabeth
Baker. formerly of Casper, but now
of Hollywood, were received here
last week by A A. Slade, superin-
tendent of Casper's public schools,
and were shown on the screen at
the Rialto theatre Friday morning
at a private showing. 1t is probable
that they will be given a public
showing later, since those who saw
the tests were delighted with the
pretty Casper miss.
Miss Baker has been doing things
since she has been in the center of
Americas picture production and has
had several important parts, among
them being one in Lon Chaney's
Phantom of the Opera" Besides
playing small parts she has had
several leads. playing one of these
four months after her arrival in
California. which is considered out
of the ordinary. She has been men,
toned for a role opposite William
S. Hart in his next production"
Miss Baker is a niece of Walter
Oeland of Cody. who is in receipt
of a communication from Mr.. Slade
stating that these screen tests have
been forwarded to Cody. They
will be shown at the Temple theatre
Thursday evening. October Sth.

FOLEY ANNOUNCES GOLF
 FOR STUDY OF TENNIS
Former Amateur Champion To Rc- tire From Links For Two Years
 To Concentrate on Racquet

London, July @l R,--The Morn ing Post says that the celebrated golfer, Cyril Tolley, former amateur champion, has renounced golf for two years for the purpose of con centrating upon lawn tennis, with the hope of making his tennis as good as his golf and appearing as one of England's champions.
 Toley told the Post that there are scores of difficulties in his way, among them his weight which he must reduce by at least fourteen pounds. He also is rather frightened about his foot work and lack of speed, but as he has had wonderful luck with golf he hopes the same would be true of his tennis. He re- called that when boy he played better tennis than golf.
 If Tolley wields a racquet with the vigor he has used with a driver he will surpas the famous "Rcd' Mclaughlin in smashes and serv- ice. He has been one of the long est drivers on the links.
 Tolleys withdrawal from golf re- calls that Miss Joyce Wethered, the best woman golfer of the world and British champion, recently announc- ed she was retiring from Competi- tion for reasons of her own.
