BEAUTY" AT THE ELKO THEATER TOMORROW A picture that will excite more than/ passing comment will be shown at. the Elko' theater tomorrow, also Monday and Tuesday. It is a visuali zation of Anna Sewell's.famous nov el "Black Beauty." The film is oneBeach of the most unique to be flashed up on the screen. It marks a new era Of story telling, that to blending two narratives into one and, at the tame me keeping each story separate from ihe other. This feat, whCch several have attempted and failed. has been achieved by Lillian and George Ran dolph Chester, authors of internation al repute. Anna Sewell's story was that seen by the horse. It hinted at things that were going oni in the big house, but which Black Beauty could not know. Mr. and Mrs. Chester have supplied the inside story after carefully ana lyzing Anna Sewell's narrative. They made this coincide with the orignal tale in every instance so that the two /blended into one and the reason for? the Squire going to town on theeric raln day in which the bridge was swept away is made clear. It also shows why the family went to the ho tel the night the stables tookfireandthe Black Beauty had- a thrilling escape. Every incident in Anna Sewell's story is illustrated In the picture and is in no way subordinated to the narra tive. The film was directed by David Smith, famed as the director of bigthat pictures in which animals have im portant roles. He is one of the best animal directors (in the business. A large and expensive cast was engaged for the producton and headed by Jean Paige. The leading feminine role requires much of the young star and i3 con sidered far more difficult than a dual role, as she must portray the charac ter from the ago of thirteen to nine teen years.' James MorrKson, who playp opposite t'Miss Paige, has an equally difficult role: The cast in cludes such well known names as George Webb, Bobby Mack, John Steppllng, Adele iFarrington and Charles Morrison.

Since-Edi son aroused the press and the col leges and the rest of the country with his 77 questions as deciding a man's intellectual standing, everybody else has been springing catches on any lit tle group of people they could corral together. The other night they caught Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi dent of Columbia university, and sub jected him to a smelling test. The Engineering society of the University fathered the test and submitted all their dinner guests to it. Poor Doc tor Butler! He batted J00 one hita in. ten chances. Evidently kitchens, drug store and barrooms are alien places to the educator only the bar ber shop metkns familiar ground. Suc cessively, cloves, wintergreen, car bolic acid, turpentine, alcoholyes, alcohol, and other definitely ordored liquids were offered him. He failed to identify any of them. And then the last, "bay rum," cried Dr. But ler, and so it was. "Oh, well, gentle- men," said he, "the sense of smell is the least intellectual of the senses."

"I'll come and get but he isn't 'lost' any more than you are." When he arrived and they had told him how the child was found weeping at 96th street and 5th ave nue, he shook his head. /"The police have called me from Bridgeport, Conn., Plainfteld, N.

You know those tablesone column giving heights and the other the number of pounds proper for each one. By them you learned that if youj are. five feet six, you should weigh 145 pounds. Fancy that! It was all right a few years ago. But today! You look for tailor clever enough to deceive the public if you weigh a pound over 132 at that height. "We certainly have heard enough about those tables," said the manager of one Fifth avenue shop the other day- "We had five letters in one month from customers protesting that we owed it them to keep up to date on such things. Filial ly we got new tables made out and I hope we'll have peace." The. theory that health demanded all those pounds has been exploded, too.
