La BORDONI And
OTHER GOOD
ONES

Keith's is offering a program
this week, which, In addition to
having Irene Bordoni as a head
liner, offers many well and favor
ably known vaudeville names.
Miss Bordoni's offering is chief.
~ Miss Bordoni. She is the kind
OF artist over which acrimonious
discussions as to her merits as an
actress are likely to arise. To
those who like her-and their
number is legion-her appearance
Is always an occasion for rejoic-
ing. The Keith audience yester-
day applauded until it got a cur.
tain speech.

also stopped the show. Here is a
man blessed with a perfectly pleas.
ing voice. Singing beautifully,
without conscious effort, his num-
hers were warmly received. Mr..
Gardens singing is of that quality
that enraptures even those who
do not ordinarily care for vocal
music.
The comedy end of the bill is
amply provided for in two furi-
ously funny teams: Bert Lahr and
Mercedes, and olivette Haynes
and Fred e. Beck.
Mr.. Lair is we'll known to the
regular vaudeville patron, his
singing Of Peggy O'Neil" prob
ably ranking in lone splendor
among the novel renditions Of the
stage. His burlesque on the cop
is one of the richest things the
variety stage has to offer. His
humor is the rib-cracking kind.
Mercedes is good to look upon.
Haynes and Beck are not
strangers either to local audiences,
but their skit proved as enjoyable
as ever. Miss Haynes is one Of
the few women who can clown
perfectly. Her pancake hat,
straight locks and checked suit
are familiar trademark to funny
doings.
The Richard vintour Revue,
billed as "Des Beaux Arts" is
richly staged. It is an act
pleasingly diversified. containing
dancing, posing, and feats Of
strength.
Madeline Patrice offers "An
1nterlude Melody" with voice and
violin, the latter being by far
the better of the two.
"Jeanie," tiny little girl,
sings and does the Charleston.
Harriet and Harry Setback, in
opening the bill, do a bewildering

SHEEP DOGS COMPETE
FOR PRIZES IN WALES
Collies. Carefully Trained by Mas
ters, Give Interesting
Exhibitions.

Corresnondence. of the Associated Press.
LLANGOLLEN, Wales.-Sheep dog
competitions attract many visitors to
this section of Wales.
In these competitions the shepherds
must stand in a fixed position while
sheep are released on the hillside and
the master leases his collie with in
structions to round up his woolly
charges. The shepherd is at such a
distance that the dog is directed en-
tirely by whistling and by motions
from the shepherd.
The dog must bring his sheep on
the correct side of a certain post and
must then drive them over narrow
bridge in good order and pen them.
The collie is then directed by whis
ting to bring THE sheep slowly back
to the shepherd. so they will not reach
him in winded condition.
All this skillful manipulation must
be done within 20 minutes and the
dog which does his work in the most
systematic manner is awarded the
prize. The most skillful collies are
SO quiet and careful in their work
that they frequently crawl along on
their bellies so as not to agitate their
herds unnecessarily.

SOVIET TO EXPEL
FORMER LEADERS
Trotsky and Zinovieff to Be
Ousted From Party Board
for Activities.
Hv the Associated Presa.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, October 25.-Leon Trotsky
and Gregory Zinovieff, once leading
figures in Soviet Russia, will be ex-
PEELED from the central committee of
the Communist party, it was an
nounced yesterday in a communique
issued after joint plenary sitting Of
the central committee and central con-
trolling commission of the party.
After numerous demotions, warn
ings and disciplinary measures the
presidiurn of the central control COM
mittee Of the Communist party last
June recommended the expulsion of
Trotsky and Zinovieff from the Com
munist party. They were accused of
trea sonable speeches and violation of
party discipline. 81
Trotsky, Lenin's commissar for
war and marine, began to go into
eclipse after the death of Lenin. Zino-
vieff, former president of the Third in.
ternationale, travelled the same road
Recently both were censured by the
internationale for criticizing Russias S
policy in China.
Zinovieff's withdrawal as president
OF the internationale nearly a year ago
was attributed to differences with
Joseph Stain, who is in control of the
Communist party. Both Trotsky and
Zinovieff have been permitted to recant
and return to their former activities
after previous disciplinary measures,
but the latest charges made by the
presidium accused them of having
made promises merely as a maneuver
to deceive the party and regain power.
The decision leaves Trotsky and
Zinovieff ordinary members of the
Communist party, with fair outlook
for expulsion from the ranks unless
they come to terms with the dominat.
ing powers. This is considered quite
unlikely without a compromise on
either side.

Tom Farrell was one Of the last Of the
picturesque sheriffs of the West. One of
his predecessors had been Plummer, the
notorious sheriff outlaw, who was exc
cuted by the miners Of Alder gulch.
Plummer had no Jail. After his death
the odd little building in Virginia City
was erected and Tom Farrell was it's last
official custodian. The veteran sheriff,
after Virginia CitX had ceased to need a
jail, tried to have the state take over
the old building as a relic Of pioneer
days well worth preserving. Failing in
salvaging many Of the fittings for the
town museum.
A genial man with a fund of anecdotes
Of the West, Farrell enjoyed telling the
story of the Chinaman who owned q
huge safe equipped with numerous locks
and bars, which looked as if it weighed
several tons. Other Cinnamon diScoV-
cred it was wood painted to resemble

Sheriff Farrell caught the burglars and
made them bring back their loot.

turned to Rock. The miners ran a drift
under the jail and raised" Under the
cellroom. Pat went down the raise and
out the drift.
HE was the only prisoner I ever lost D
said Farrell. "I nave been looking for
him for 40 years and expect to catch up
with him some day."
MIR. Farrell was popular with Virginia
City people and especially so with those
who formerly lived in the pioneer town

state.
