'IR0N MANI WILL BE SUCCEEDED BY WISE CHILL D
Marion Davies Will Star in New Comedy To-
 morrow Night

With Iron Man." starring Lew Ayers, showing for the last times tonight at the Capitol theatre Its A Wise Child" featuring Marion Davies, will be the at traction on the new program to- morrow night. Its A Wise Child will be the subject of the preview at the matinee at l o'clock to- night.
 Tonight is "Chinaware Night Every woman attending either of tonight's regular performances will be given a piece of table silver ware.
 Astronomy Is Hobby
 Iron Man" has no illusions to astronomy, much to Ayres' regret. He engages in amateur astronomy as hobby. He has several very good telescopes of his own, and in addition was recently the guest of one of the astronomers at Mt. Wilson, Cal, where the biggest telescope in the world is being built.
 Its A Wise Child" is a Hitting romance of modern life in a small town. Miss Davies is seen as a small town girl with big town ideas and the town banker as fiance against her will. How she courts scandal to get rid of him-and then finds she's in love with the last man she'd ever expected to be in love with, forms a series of hilari- ous situations.
 Produced On Lavish Scale
 Robert z. Leonard directed the picture, which was produced on a lavish scale. Sidney Blackmen ap- pears in the leading male role, and James Gleason, Lester Vail, Polly Moran, Marie Provost, Clara Blan- dick, Robert McWade, Johnny Ar thur, Hilda Vaughn, Ben Alexand- CT and Emily Fitzroy are among the players in the big cast.
 Among the thrills is a road house raid, and among the big laughs, it's comical sequel in small town police court.

 Tonight is Family Night" again. One ticket permits the admission of the entire family.
 On the organ, Rex Parrott will play selections.
 In Only Saps Work Miss Brian and Arlen have the principal TO- mantle roles. Their love theme is woven in an interesting fashion into the joyous comedy. Errol provides most of the best humor of the photoplay.
 Brendel in Dual Role
 In MT. Lemon of Orange, :" Brendel appears in a dual role, the first as the inoffensive toy clerk, MT. Lemon" and the other as the hard-boiled gang leader, Silent McGee."
 Miss Dorsay shines as the night club singer and incidentally de- flyers a clever song to prove that she really can sing. My Racket Is You' has rather catchy swing to it.
 Incidents Are Ludicrcus
 Briefly, the ludicrous incidents arise from a case of mistaken iden- tity-the toy clerk being in the neiborhood of hi-jacking af- fair and mistaken for the gang leader. During the hi-jacking, Dorsay's brother is killed and she

 LEFT STANDING FOR FEED

DALHART, Texas, Dec. 16.-The big grain sorghum crops of the Texas panhandle were left in the fields for grazing by sheep and cattle this fall, or consumed in feeding pens, farmers finding these methods more profitable than dumping the grain on low markets.
 Approximately 80,000 sheep from the San Angelo territory were brought to fields near Dalhart for grazing over a two-month period.
 Farmers received from $2 to $4 an acre for their fields.
