Victor Varconi, who is appearing opposite Marie Provost in For Wives Only" her current starring feature for Metropolitan pictures, is equally as much at home in the sad dle as before the camera.
 The Hungarian actor, who jumped into instantaneous popularity through his portrayal of Prince Dimitri in Cecil B. De Miles "The Volga Boatman," learned about horses while serving as an officer in the Russian army during the World war. He is rated as one of the best horsemen In the movie colony and is a familiar figure on the bridle paths around Hollywood.

Art Exhibit to Be
Open Tomorrow
For the Last Time

Art lovers Of Bismarck and vicini-
ty will have but two more opportuni-
ties. to view the exceptionally fine
exhibit Of paintings by American ar
lists, which has been on display at
the Association of Commerce rooms
during the past two weeks. The ex-
hibit will be open from Z until 8
o'clock this evening and from 2 until
5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, after
which it will be prepared for return
shipment.
The paintings were brought to
Bismarck through the efforts Of the
Arts and Letters club, being loaned
by art clubs Of Chicago. Interest in
the exhibit has grown greatly during
the past few days, and it is very
likely that some of the pictures will
be purchased by local people. It is
estimated that more than 600 people
will have registered at the exhibit
before the doors are closed Sunday
evening.
So much interest in art has been
aroused here by this exhibit that the
Arts and Letters club is planning to
bring here during the summer the
works Of one great artist alone.
Paintings of some popular and we'll
known artists will be chosen. 1t is
likely that the bringing of art exhi-
bits to Bismarck at stated intervals
will become a regular part of the
work of the local club.

Here is 4 treat Of the season and il

story that gives the formula plots
such wide berth that there is no

that sounds conventional--but there
never was a crook story like it. I'm.
agine trio of crooks composed Of a
ventriloquist, 4 midget and a circus

when the dwarf poses as a baby in q

ply their trade and how the great love
Of the ventriioquist for Rosie, the
pickpocket, winds around into most
absorbing love story, and q powe rful
murder climax, makes for q great en-

really fine piece Of direction. His
