GOOD BILL AT STRAND


 Buster Keaton. aided and abetted by Ernest Terrence. Director Charles Chuck" Reisner. a girl by the name of Marion Byron. and seemingly thousands of other actors and ac- tresses, has made one of the years funniest pictures.
 It is Steamboat Bill. Jr." and it opened at the Strand today for three days to capacity audiences which all but fell out of their seats at the antics of the frozen-faced star and his assisting mirth-provokers.
 The comedy. which was directed by Charles F. Reisner and released by United Artists, is a laugh riot from the opening scene till the cy- clonic finish. Cyclonic Is right, for the tornado which climaxes Steam boat Bill, Jr." would be. even minus it's laughs, thrill in the most dra- matic features.
 The gags or comedy situations. are clean. and above all, original.
 The vaudeville show has five splendid acts to offer presenting the Elida Dancers in "Jazzing the Nurs- cry Rhymes: the Ansonia Trio" artistic athletes: the Hazen Girls in Just Different: Frank Whittier and Co. in "In Wrong: and Castle ton and Mack in "Comedy Capers."
 Beginning Sunday night for four days the Strand will offer for its Xmas attraction Alice White with Jack Mulhall in Naughty Baby"

Want White Mans Laws
 Given to Indians

Washington, Dec. 20 R - The white mans laws, both civil and criminal, would be extended to all the red men under a bill introduced today by Representative Cramton, republican, Michigan.
 The measure would apply particu- larly to restricted Indians on federal reservations and would abolish the tribal courts.
 One of the provisions of the act, which would interfere with customs of some Indians in the southwest, where squaw divorces her husband merely by placing his belongings out side the door, is that which would make it compulsory for the Indians to comply with the marriage and divorce laws of the state ill which they reside.

Fri day and Saturday in his new picture Land of the Silver Fox" It gives Rim Tin-Tin his first chance to be heard on Vitaphone. That he makes much of it, the crowds used to cheering the worlds dog favorite proved. for they fairly brought down the house. when his lusty barking broke the stiffness of the snow country which is locale for the thriller.
 Vitaphone symphonic music thun- ders along through the piece. and at big moments of the action the play CTS speak their lines. Rinty plays the part of a dog saved by a young trRpper from a cruel master.
 It is not hard to imagine the ferocity with which Rinty watches the fortunes of the lad, saving his life at the risk of his own. Beside the fighting action. there is much to make the audience laugh. among the incidents being Rinty's concern for his seven small pups and his white wife, Nannette, and the antics he cuts with the Indian papoose- Oscanonta.
