 COLISEUM RUN
Bad Man to Be Preview- ed at l A. M. and to
 Show Tomorrow

Illusion" starring Charles Buddy Rogers and Nancy Carroll will be presented for the last times to- night at the Coliseum theatre. The Bad Man" with Walter Huston in the leading role, will feature the new program, which will be pre- viewed at the matinee at l o'clock tonight and which will begin show ing at regular performances to- morrow night.
 In Illusion" the big top and the sawdust ring lend their influ- ences to an interesting romance. Rogers as a magician and Miss Carroll as his partner in the act carry their circus training to the atrical stages. Love finds a way, but some rough spots have to be traversed before the goal of happi- ness is reached.
 Adapted From Stage Play
 The Bad Man" IS an adaptation from the stage play of the same name. It abounds in laughs, and, under the guise of a Latin temper ament, kids the s-minded Americans to the limit.
 Huston gives fine characteriza- tion of the bad man." O. P. Heg- gie. the veteran character actor, plays the role of the eccentric un- cle in the wheel chair. Heggic played the same role on the stage. In the picture he is responsible for fully as many laughs as is Huston.
 Have Romantic Leads
 James Rennie and Dorothy Re- vier have the romantic leads. Quinn Big Boy" Williams and Marion Byron are the juveniles. Arthur Stone and Johnny Arthur also con- tribute important comedy charac-

 Cruze Was in Alaska
 James Cruze, who directed the i Costello Case has held more and different types of jobs than any other director in the movies. At various times in his colorful career this soldier of fortune has worked as a mess boy in Manila; later he turned up in Alaska where he remained for some time. When he needed a job, he took the first ! one that came along and in this i way obtained knowledge of the ordinary man and woman that has served him well in his picture ac- tivities. Cruze has been at times la borer, farmland, waiter and cook. As a movie actor he played lead ing roles with Pathe and Than houser. He was then engaged as producer for Paramount and began that series of stupendous produc- tions which have given him a high international reputation.
 Filmed in Africa
 The Trader Horn" picture, with Harry Carey in the title role, was filmed in Africa. The wild animal life of the dark continent" is brought in all it's natural vividness to the screen. Interwoven with the wonders of the jungle and the veldt is a pleasing, delightful love romance.

EXAMINATION OF SCHOOL
CHILDREN IS BEING MADE
Health Officer Reports 275 Chill
dren Have Been Examined and
Many Given TpxOid
HEALTH OF PUPILS GOOD

During the week from September
IA to 10 the County Health Depart
ment visited twelve schools and ex-
amined 275 children. Those children
whose parents signified their willing
ness for the Health officer to protect
them against diphtheria were given
their first dose of toxoid. Many
others were vaccinated. DR.. Geo. E.
Clarke is very much pleased at the
response of the parents to the plea
to have their children protected
against diphtheria. He states that
with the protection of the school chill
dren and the pre-school children diph-
liberia can be eliminated entirely
from the county.
In clinics, which are to be held
later in the winter, the children of
pre-school age will be given an op-
portunity to receive the toxoid treat
ment. Toxoid is being used in place
of toxin antitoxin because there is
less reaction after its administration
and more children are protected. 1t
is also necessary to give two doses of
toxoid instead of the three doses of
toxin antitoXin.
The health officer states that the
health of the pupils in the rural
schools so far examined, is exception
ally good. Very few students are I'M
der weight and, with the exception
of bad teeth and enlarged tonsils, the
health of these boys and girls is
above the average. The examination
of the rural schools will continue
through October.
DR.. Clarke estimates that approx
mately 1000 people visited the health
exhibit and about 800 saw the health
movies which were given during the
County Fair.
