Colorado Farmers
to Sow Big Acreage
DENVER, May 31. —Despite high cost
of farm labor and rumblings that dis
satisfaction among farmers might result
in curtailment of farm products, Colarado
farmers this year •will plant approx
imately 1,500,0 CH) acres of wheat, an in
crease of nearly 50,000 over last year’s
acreage, according to estimates received
at the state capitol here from various j
counties throughout Colorado.
It is estimated that 975,000 acres of
corn will be planted in the state, against
956.371 acres last year, and 285,000 acres
of grain sorghums, compared with 255,605
acres in 1919.
Reports indicate a considerable in- 1
crease in sugar beet acreage for the com- j
ins year.
Diamonds Regain
Popularity in Paris
PARIS, May 31.—Diamonds have come j
into their own again. Their popularity I
waned during the last few years; but'
now that every profiteer's wife has ropes
of pearls and emeralds are the pis?-4
things of his daughters, the smartest
women are returning to diamonds, cut
huge pendants and eardrops.
For the first time since the war dia
dems are seen at dinners and receptions.

THRILLS IN ‘JEKYLL-HYDE’ MOVIE
MacDonald at Circle—Stock Opens at Murat
John Barrymore is so realistically hor
rible as the murderous Mr. Hyde that
John causes one’s hair on his head to
stand up in genuine fright.
The ugliness, as well as the murderous
spirit of Hyde is better presented in the
movie version of Stevenson’s famous \
“Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" than on the
The transition of John Barrymore from
the good and kind Dr. Jekyll to the
brute of a Hyde will remain for months
one of the finest achievements of the
screen. <
There are a number of things injected
in the movie version that are not as
Stevenson wrote them, but waving that
to one side, the movie version is su
premely thrilling.
The shivers ran up and down the writ
er’s back yesterday in seeing this movie
at English’s.

-ALHAMSBA.
“The Dark Mirror.”
Gee! but that is a corker.
I don’t like to sit on the edge of my
seat, but this play kept'my nerves tense
all the time.
Dorothy Dalton is the sensation here,
and she has a thrilling play for this
appearance.
Nothing turns out In the story as the
audience-had expected.
The play begins with a rush, and keeps
at tdp speed all the way through, with a
big parting hit at the end.
Miss Dalton has a dual role in “The
Dark Mirror," and ecliDses all her previ
ous attempts along this line.
She appears as a wealthy artist and as
a criminal. j
The problem of the play is a physical
one, and has many possibilities which the
producer has not overlooked.
The artist girl is subject to dreams in
which she Is a member of a gang of
crooks.
But the strangest part of it is that all
the events that she dreams of are real
occurrences, murders and robberies.
A doctor offers to solve the problem.
He has some interesting experiences
when he finally gets on the right trail.
That is all we can tell you about the
story, but you can find out the rest of it
at the Alhambra today, tomorrow or
Wednesday.
Opinion—Miss Dalton is good in this
picture, which is a masterpiece of drama
and mystery.

Should the marriage vows be thken
seriously?
That is the question taken up by the

Should the wife really observe her
duty to honor and obey her husband?
Many characters in the play certainly
do not.
But the exception proves the rule.

The old-fashioned way, that a man be
the head of the house, may be going out
of taste, but it was more successful.
That is the moral to be derived from
the play.
A young attorney, finding easy suc
cess in a large city, wishes his old
fashioned wife to live up to the stand
ards of his new friends.
He finds that marriage is held lightly
among these friends, but he adheres to
his old ideas.
His wife is not happy in the new
surroundings, and longs for her former
companionship with her husband.
They find that where there Is love in
marriage, there is no Lsed for the com
mand to “obey."
Opinion—a good vehicle for House
Peters, who is well fitted to play the big
part that he has.

A DUAL ROLE.
Movie folks now days appear to enjoy
enacting a dual role In a picture.
Elaine Hammersteln is the latest to
satisfy this ambition, as she has a dual
role in “The Shadow of Rosalie Byrnes.”
She appears as Leontine Maddern, a
vaudeville actress, and then as Leona, her
sister and an artist.
The picture Is said to be of a dramatic
nature.
A Snub Pollard comedy is on the bill.

In the field of motordom, the name STUTZ spells leadership.

This institution is the builder of but one product—the STUTZ
car—and is devoting all of its skill, all of its energy and resources,
to the manufacture of that car. i f f
Only the STUTZ car, manufactured by the Stutz Motor Car’Co.

STUTZ reputation is the accumulation of years of experience
on the race track, of immense manufacturing facilities, of thou

We are proud of the STUTZ reputation on the race track, but
i STUTZ racing successes were instrumental only in perfecting the
design.
The STUTZ car itself is the real achievement into which, is built
the prestige of mechanical perfection, of user satisfaction, of un
usual dignity and class. >j']
Without its many trials in racing, without its efficient manu- :
facturing organization, without the big capable institution behind
it, there could be no STUTZ car. *

“Is good form to dye the hairj”
In the sense that many persons of ir
reproachable manners and high social
position do it, then dyeing the hair is in
very good form. However, the social cir
cle of which you are a member may have
a different attitude, in which case it
would doubtless be to your disadvantage
to have your hair dyed.—Copyright, 1920.

93, Pays His Visit
to Barber Shop
GROVE CITY, Pa., May 31.—Employes
of a barber shop here were recently
given a surprise when an old man, with
hair hanging over his shoulders and a
long beard, came in and asked that he
be allowed to watch the barbers at work.
“It is my first visit to a barber shop
in my ninety-three years of life,” he said.
He had just moved into town, he added,
and his curiosity about barbers got the
better of him.
When asked what he expected to find,
the nonogenarian said he “always
thought a barber was covered with hai
as an emblem of his trade.”
