BIG SHOW rs NOW
RUNNING AT PINNEY

"The Unholy Three" one of the
latest screen successes is now run
ming at the Pinney Theatre in Boise
and will be given at the. Weaver
Thatre on the evening Of february
10Th. This should be conclusive
evidence that Manager Hendricks is

going in motion pictures He is also
offering these feature films at great

theatres. If the movie fans are an
xious that all of the latest plays be
given in Mountain Home they
should lend their support to the
movement by liberal patronage. 1t
is reported that crowds from Grand
View and Bruneau are planning on
taking in this attraction.
The creek play, also known as the
detective play, is highbrow enter
tainment.
This is the observation of Tod
Browning, noted motion picture di-
rector, whose particular enthusiasm
is making crook plays, many of
which he has written himself.
"The statement that the crook
play is highbrow amusement or rath-
er, entertainment for highbrows, is
based on long study of the public
appetite in motion pictures and read
ing" said Mr.. Browning.

EPIDEMIC DOES NOT
HALT WORK ON FILM

Director David Smith found him
self up against great difficulties in
making 1.-THE Code of the Wilder
ness which will be shown at Weav-
er Theatre on February goth. The
picture had been cast with Alice Cal
houn, John Bowers, Alan Hale, Otis
Hralan, Charlotte Merriam and Kitty
Bradbury; locations selected and a
large amount o five stock for the
big sequences on the cattle ranges
rented when an epidemic of hoof and
mouth disease put a quarantine on
the movement of live stock in Cali
fornia and forced many producers to
abandon Western productions until
the ban was lifted.
When Director Smith starts a
thing he usual ysees it through and
in this case his grit, tact, strategy
and knowledge of the quarantine
laws made it possible for him to com
plete the picture although he had to
duplicate a ranch in the studio lot
and go to much other trouble and
expense. which in normal times
would have been unnecessary.
As soon as the cowboys, who were
engaged in making pictures, but
were tied up by the quarantine,
heard that David Smith was at work
on story of the cattle ranges at
the Vitagrpah studio they besieged
the lot in droves. 1t seemed that
sveral thousand were seeking a
chance for a few days work in pic
lures. But in keeping with the quar-
antine laws Director Smith was I'M
able to stage roundup as he had
planned.
Instead he gave the story novel
twist and introduced some clever
animal action that proves far more
than roundup. Many of
the animal sequences weer taken be-
fore the quarantine, however, so
none of the vital parts of Charles
Alden Settlers famous story were
in the making of 1.-The
Code of the Wilderness"

make an example of some one. Dick
Hammili was under arrest as soon
as he was conscious again. and by the
time he could get on his feet his tria.
was called. He confessed everything
and was sentenced to 20 years in the
Federal prison at Atlanta. As he
stood before the Judge to hear the yer.
dict people saw that his hair was
gray. his back bent, like an old man.
Meanwhile Myrtle had gone home
to her parents and was literally pros :
trated. She would see no one. but
the report went out that she was
broken and devastated by grief and
shame. The Hammill house was
closed. the Austrians FASTENED back
20 New York. The big car was re-
moved to the Rayner garage.
Mr.. Rayner grew gaunt and his
wrinkles deepened and became curl
ously harsh. Mrs. Rayner too, aged
met callers and spoke with pursed
severe lips: We were SO deceived In
Dick. Mr.. Rayner and l. We though,
that he had common honesty, at
least. oh. yes. of course, we feel
sorry for him. but Myrtle IL the real
sufferer. II you could see her, my
poor child. my poor baby! We are
afraid" her voice dropped. that
she'll lose her reason under the dis
grace Of 1T. She keeps begging US SO
pitifully to say it isn't true" There
was more in the same strain. much
more. oh, much. much more.
Myrtle was too sick to go and see
Dick while he was in jail. or before
he was taken to Atlanta. Jessie
Whitmore went. and started an ugly
little ripple OF gossip about herself.
Old Maj. Hammill. his uncle. went
too. They stood by him. but he did
not seem to realize very much of their
kindness. He was like a man dazed,
,enumbed, and he was still very weak

disappointment that Myrtle wasn't
marrying a man with more money
and more distinction, and gratifica-
ton that she was not going far from
them. She would live in Spring City
and thus be near her parents. They
liked Dick Hammili, too; so did every
one. He had one of those warm open
natures that attracts good will
And you began poor yourself.
ADAM" Mrs. Rayner reminded her
husband. They say he's done very
well in the bank. Maybe II you were
to speak to Crosby-you're one OF the
leading directors-he could get pro-
noted o. something"
Mr.. G. w. Crosby was the president
of the bank and quite willing to lis
ten to suggestions from one of his
leading directors I'VE were thinking
Of retiring Emerson, anyway. he's
getting pretty old. OF course. it's a
big responsibility for HammiiE
still"
So 1t was settled, The appoint
ment and accompanying rise in sal
airy made 1t possible for Dick Ham,
mill to rush OFF to New York and buy
Myrtle an engagement ring OF superb
diamonds and sapphires without go
ing into debt. 1t was the sort OF ring
that looks as II made from the crown
jewels of Russia, and on Myrtle's 1T
tie hand It was gorgeous.

we will never have another chance.
That's where we are foolish, for we
not only will have other chances, but
far better ones than we are expecting
In 1926 II we were born around the
third week in November of any year.
Suppose our birthday comes in the
Aquarian group that Fate has called
out of the files, however. The mes
sengers of the benefic planets Jupiter
and Venus have been assigned to this
group, and for the present everything
that is beautiful and prosperous is go
ing to be showered upon them. If you
have friends born during the first
three weeks Of February Of any year
Just watch them expand when 1925
gets under full sway, Those born
about the 18th Of February have prob
ably already come under this happy
force, for men born about this time
are due to fall in love or experience
most blissful domestic conditions early
in the present year. while those born
about the LIST Of February are apt to
como under this beneficial ray about
the LIST Of March. The increase in
financial fortunes will come to them
! bit later-anywhere from the LIST of
tune on throughout the rest Of the
year. About everything these fortu.
nate people do at that time will turn
out beyond their rosiest expectations,
unless they happen to have had their
horoscopes cast and are acting upon
a knowledge Of the future.
People born in February are now
acting under a natural law exactly as
definite and invariable as the law that
objects lighter than the surrounding
medium rise until they reach a posi-
ton where their weight is equal to
that medium. These Auuarian people
are rising and will continue to do SO
for the next ~ months. If they think
of getting married, going to Europe
or going into business, nothing can
stop them. A good many moving pic.

not OF @ortunities there for a wide

up and goes to the big city; while the

| If you are a Pisces person, any

everything around.
There is no doubt but that the IRA
MAN influence in the horoscope is the
| most difffcrf % und"-srand nrd con-
trol-the effects OF Saturn may seem
more tragic, but we develop a fortI-
tude and self-control under Saturn

Judgment and, unless we can see
what is going on within ourselves, We
act upon impulse without any idea OF
! whether or not we are improving our
conditions thereby.
II your birthday comes in the latter
part Of March, try not to change your
| ments or your interests for the next
year or two. 1t may be impossible for
you to avoid this. but at any rate do
not take the initiative yourself: and
| II you do, then expect to discover I'M

give way TO your desire for new

this attitude.
