Club Standings.

Only three games were played in
the Pine County Baseball league last
Sunday. The game scheduled be-
tween Moose Lake and Hinckley was
not played on account of Hinckley
having dropped out of the league and
hence Moose Lake gets credit for, a
win. Hinckley was scheduled to
play at Askov next Sunday and that
game of course is also called off and
Askov likewise will get credit for a
win, and so on with the other teams
that were scheduled to play Hinckley
during the remainder of the season
each getting credit for a game won
that day.

fame as giving one Of the ten best
performances of the year. 1t seems
to me that both the actor and the
director know their Lincoln. There
might be some room for argument
on the way Huston gives Lincoln
certain mannerisms which have
surrounded the character in the
popular mind. Here is one Lincoln
that completely convinces me could
have acted, talked and lived as the
real Lincoln did.
Because of the very nature of
Lincoln's life, the movie is really
just one episode after another. The
sweetest love scene I have ever seen
on the talking screen is done by
Huston as the young Lincoln and
by Una Merkel as Ann Rutledge.
There is no doubt but that Lin
coin suffered terribly when Ann
died. Griffith has reflected that
great suffering and has been able
to make AIMS influence felt during
the entire career Of Lincoln.
At times maybe Griffith was too
realistic in permitting Kay Ham
mond to be rather unpleasant and
oyerambitious at times as Mary
Todd Lincoln. All historians have

they are alive. They are really in
love, but they can not marry, be-
cause Henry is married to love-
less woman. Ann and Henry de-
eide thatein death they never viii be
separated. and so they turn on the
gas in their apartment in London
slums. Then their gass-flled souls
(if I can use such an expression
begin the trip to heaven or hell on
the boat "peopled" by men and
women who died natural deaths. !
Bear in mind that Ann and Henry
are Railways because they are in
the act of committing suicide, not
yet entirely dead Henry's love for
a pet dog saves their lives as the
dog (you don't see him do it, breaks
the window and gives the alarm
which resulted in aid and rescue
from death.
You have the feeling that Ann
and Henry realize that suicide for
love is the business of a coward and
that it is all wrong.
If you will keep the above key
in mind, believe that Outward
Bound" will be less confusing. I
considered outward Bound" big
and a powerful play ON the stage.
On the talking screen, made so by
masterful direction and wonderful
photography and great acting, it is
even a greater and a bigger play.
This is probably the first movie
made from a play which is greater
in film form than it was on the
stage.
To many, Leslie Howard is not
known but "Outward Bound" proves
that he is a great sympathetic actor.
He is cast as Tom Prior who drank
and played himself to death. Tt is
Tom in a frantic and a powerful
realistic scene who first discovers
that all on board are dead. Here
is acting that you will remember
for many months.

Republic Plot Leaders Are
Well Treated in
Their Cells.
BY WILLIAM III. LANDER
United Press stafT Correspondent

MADRID, Dec. 22.-The govern
ment found itself with an unex-
pectedIy large number of political
prisoners today, only week after
arrests began among republican
and extremist leaders in connection
with the recent attempted revolu-
ton.
Military and judicial machinery
worked at full force trying to clear
the cases as speedily as possible.
Many Of the men in Jail made
voluntary confessions of their COM
plicity in the rebel movement.
Students planned to petition the
government to release all professors
and students held, and favored
calling a student strike if the gov
eminent did not meet their re-
quest.
According to tentative plans. the
strike would begin Jan. 10, when
the Christmas vacation ends
Visitors to the political prisoners
numbered thousands. Republican
leaders we're well treated in the jails.
There was no indication that sum-
mary court martial, such as that
administered when two captains
we're sentenced to execution and
five others to life Imprisonment for
their parts in the Jaca revolt, would
be held in any of the other cases
pending.
Chief interest centered in AlcoIa
zarnora's case. as he is a former
cabinet minister and most prom
inent Of the men under arrest.
zamora was taken from his home
here at the time the rebels hoped
that their nationwide movement
would begin.
Angel Assorio Gallarza, dean of
Madrid lawyers who remains a
monarchist although he has publicly
asked the abdication of King Al
fonso, will defend Zamora.
Republicans hoped that the
speeches Of lawyer and defendant
in court would convert Zamora's
trial before a bar of military
Justice into a trial of King Alfonso
before a bar of public opinion.

reveals a greater acting ability
than I have ever before noticed in
her previous roles. With the right
parts Miss Francis should climb lar
up the ladder Of success.
AS the wife Of a Russian officer,
attempting to save her husbands
life, she takes the acting honors
away from Walter Huston, who as
general has condemned her hus-
band to death. That is giving her
quite a break, but it is a fact. Wal
ter Huston, who is showing this

in another theater of this city,
proves himself therein a great and

subject to handle.
Miss Hammond and Griffith. have
been brave and I believe honest in
painting Mary Todd as they did
Even in the war scenes, I believe
that Griffith has been fair to the
North as well as the South.
The work OF E. Allyn Warren as
Stephen A. Douglas; FREQ Warren
as General Grant; Hobart Bosworth
as General Lee and James Brad
bury ST., as General Scott deserve
only the highest praise.
Here is gigantic entertainment,
human and powerful in its appeal.
Here is great theater done in
great way.

the very great pictures of all time.

Outward Bound" is a movie that
you may not like, because it shows

cast being excellent, as a whole it
is very pleasant entertainment.
