I Comedy Sketches of Great
Merit Among Features of
Colorful Production
; rr1y,.r,n. one of the prede
cessors of Bill Hart as a motion pic
ture hero, who has ontered a new
game, last night presented his "Fri
volities of 1920" to a rather good
sized audience at the Orpheum thea
tre, and the audience liked it.
Frivolities" is a show similar to
such conglomerations of music, mlrtn
and girls as "The Passing Show." In
some respects "Frivolities" was bet
! tcr than "Passing Show" but in other
, respects it fell behind.
There was an abundance of pretty
girls, jazzy music, colorful costumes
and comedy work above the average
in last night's presentation. For good
measure there was an exhibition of
splendid dancing, exclusive of tho ex
emplification of the "shimmle" in Its
,: highest degree.
' There was some good singing on
, .' the part of the male members of the
''. cast, but it was a noticeable fact that
there was not a good soprano in the
bunch of oeautlful and shapely girls
j" Most of these were sb easy of look
r upon, however, that the absence of a
ft good singing voice was not greatly
Ifjjm noticed.
M Three or four of the comedy
fl sketches interpolated in the produc
W tlon are of supreme 'vaudeville qual
H ity and the audience enjoyed the work
w of theso comedians immensely.
M Tho company carried along fivo or
six extra musicians to add noise, jazz
a and harmony to the theatre orchestra
II This they succeeded in doing in an
IIJ eminently satisfactory manner.
r Coast AtMetic Stars
Returnkg From Meet
Eleven track and field stars of tho
University of California and Stanford
(university spent three hours In Og
den today en route to the coast. The
two aggregations recently competed
In the Penn relays and In the western
track and field championships at Ann
Arbor, Michigan.
"Spot" Kirkscy, star sprinter of the
Stanford squad, was numbered among
those present. Kirkscy easily qualified
in the century at Penn but was un
able to compete in the finals owing
to a torn ligament which he sustained
UM in the 220-yard dash. Kirksey, ae
Hl cording to eastern critics, was the
f choice to win both sprints in the na
wh tional games, the accident barring him.
Kirksey and "Husky" Marchant,
broad jumper and weight man, left the
party today, taking a San Pedro train
for Los Angeles, where they will en
ter the western trials for the Olympic
games.
The "University of California base
ball and tennis teams will complete
their play in the east this week, ac
cording to the tracksters, and" will
j then return to the coast. The show
ing of both Stanford and Calif orma
J was regarded as remarkable In the
east, considering the fact that both
l! I teams totaled but eleven men.

To secure a list of producers and

fruit and vegetable crops. Judge J. H.

riculture for the Union Pacific rail
road, visited W. P. Thomas, county
agricultural agent, today:
Judge Mohler forwards information
secured in this maimer to all agents
of the Union Pacific and to all large ,
produce houses on the Union Pacific
system, Mr. Thomas stated, so that I
'knowledge as to where certain crops
are available, and at what period they
can be purchased, can be obtained.
The idea of this arrangement, it is
stated, Is to get the buyer and the pro
ducer closer together by telling the
buyer where commodities are for sale,
and at what period of the season they
can bo obtained.
Through this agency, Idaho potatoes
led the market last year, Mr. Thomas
Stated. He said that this idea would
probably be of great assistance to We

in disposing of their early crop.

Harold Peterson, Winner of
DVS. C, En Route to Home
at San Diego
Harold Peterson, first class sea- j
man. United States Navy, was in (
Ogden for a few hours today en 1
route to his home at San Diego. Few I
people in this section of the west I
know of the "stunts" accomplished
by Peterson during the great war. j
He enlisted at San Diego in April,
1017, and was one of the first s'gobs"
to journey to the Atlantic coast to
board one of Uncle Sam's liners. '
Swimming in the navy is one of I'
the sports known by every gob and i
Peterson today stated that he had ;
surely had his end of thrills. j
Early in 1917 Peterson was at-1
tached to the Tuscania, which was i
sunk off Ireland by Hun' submarines. 1
In this phaac of his experiences Pe-
terson states that lie was in the
water for seven hours doing rescue
work. He was awarded the D. S. C.
fnr lile hrn vorv hvr flm mo i- rlnnorf-
imeut. Peterson was credited with
saving twelve lives.
ln July, 191S. Peterson was at
tached to the U. S. S. San ' Diego
'which went down off Fire Island,
(New York. Three hours and twenty
j minutes in the water endeavoring to
save some of his mates ended rather
serious for Peterson. He did all in
his power during his stay in the
l water to aid stricken mates only to
have both limbs cramp.
Since that date in 1918 until a few
weeks ago Peterson has been con
fined to the United States Naval
hospital at Brooklyn, Naval physi
cians after months of experimenting
finally cured Peterson. Today he ii
again in perfect condition and at
the Union Depot today said ho was
rarin' to go again. He stated that
he would not take all the money in
the world for his experiences.
Besides wearing the D. S. C, Pe
terson also carried a letter of. thanks
from Secretary of War Baker for his
bravery at such a time.
Peterson departed for his home
this afternoon. He lost three broth
ers in the drive in the Argonne forest.
