i 'I FACE FOUft *i' Wr NEWS OF THE THEATRES .AAA* POVEBTY CAUSES YOUTH TO JOIN WICKED PLOT Smuggling long haO ceased to be an occupation for gentlemen in Eng land when Senor Joaquin Santos con ceived the idea of looting a treasure ship at sea, carrying Australian gold. The adventurous spirit of his ances tors, h.owever, survived in "Squire" John Rattray, impoverished heir to Rattray Hall. ^Because of his pov erty, Kis adventurous spirit and his hope of winning Santos' lovely step daughter, Eva Dennlson, young Rat tary gave favorable consideration to the Spaniard's scheme. He consent ed-to join in it at last-when assured that the escape of the passengers would be assured. The story is told in "Dead Men Tell No Tales," by E. W. Rornung, author of "Raffles," which has been visualized as a Tom Terriss all star special production. It will be shown at the Elko theater for the last time tonight. Santos cared nothing for promises, nor for anything except the attaining of his own ends. So far from seeing to the safety of passengers and crew of the Lady Jermyn w*s concerned, he intended to make sure of the death of all, acting on the doctrine of "dead men.tell no tales," and then explain to Rattray afterward. "OJfCE TO EVERY WOMAN" SHOWS LAST TIME TONIGHT In "Once to Every Woman," which is showing for the last time at the Grand theater tonight, Dorothy Phillips again proves clear title to the appellation, The Bernhardt of the Screen, for in this photodrama she rises to dramatic heights seldom demanded of an actress in the silent drama. "Once to Every Woman" is a hu man document. Its characters are ordinary mortals, and the homely at mosphere of the early scenes, with Its pictures of life in a small town, struck a sympathetic chord in the hearts of many in the audience. The story is of a selfish daughter of the household who accepts the sacrifices of the rest of the family because she has been blessed' with a voice, and when these sacrifices are the means of placing her at the pinnacle of her art, she forgets her humble beginning and those who made possible her suc cess. But in the hour of need she finds happiness in the old home and learns the value of a mother's love. This* is a "big" production,. The settings are magnificent and the pho tography flawless. Allen Holubar again demonstrates his artistic skill as a director in his treatment of the tremendous scenes in this drama. As sisting Miss Phillips in the presen tation are Robert Andersen, Ru dolph Valentino, Frank Elliott, Em ily Chichester, Elinor Fair, William Ellingford, Mrs. Margaret Matin, and a host of others of equal prominence! "THE WHISPER. MARKET" AT GRAND THEATER WEDNESDAY Erminie North, society leader in the American colony at Rio de Ja neiro, in order to help her husband, the American vice-consul, in his fi nancial affairs, and to maintain her social position, becomes the silent partner in a fashionable modiste's establishment. Playing this dual role of matron and business woman, she comes to the unwelcome notice of two blackmailers, and by them is in volved in an intrigue with an adven turer. To keep the knowledge of this affair, which is innocent enough in itself, from her husband, she goes to the apartment of the adventurer, in reality a smuggler, and is there trapped in a raid, led, by her husbani. How she is freed from the meshes woven by nothing but her own devo tion, taken advantage of by unscrupu lous men and women, is shown in "The .WhUper Market," which will be shown at the Elko theater Wed nesday and Thursday. Corinne Griffith, the star, makes one of the most winning heroines of her screen career as Erminie North. George Howard, as the husband, is an effective male lead, while the "all-star supporting cast includes George Mac Quarrie, James O'Neill and/Eulalie Jensen and others. "SOMETHING DIFFERENT" AT THE GRAND WEDNESDAY How would you like to get up at four o'clock in the morning, start work at five and finish for the day at nine? That is the way Constance Binney and her entire company had to work down in Cuba where the ex terior scenes for her newest Realart picture, "Something Different," which comes on Wednesday to the Grand theater, where taken. The weather in Cuba was so unbearably hot that it was Impossible to work after nine o'clock in the morning. The picture, which was adapted from the book, "Calderon's Prisoner," by Alice Duer Miller, is a delight ful story of a bored New York debu tante who goes to Latin-America in search of "something different." Miss Binney, is supported by an excel lent cast including Ward Crime who has the leading male role, Crane Wil bur, Lucy Fox, Marx Smith and Gert rude riillman.

SsiomlHoiD REUNION NEXT MONTH By Harold D. Jacobs. (United Press Correspondent) New York, March 22.The male members of the original Floradora Sextet will hold a reunion here next month. The girls of that famous musical comedy chorus have been in the lime light so longthere were thousands if the claims of all are accepted that their former partners have de cided to attract a little attention to themselves. Nobody ever heard of a reunion of chorus,men before, so the sextet will have accomplished something start ling in theatrical circles by merely getting together. 'We don't know yet just what .ve'll do at the reunion, but what ever it is will be original," Scott Welsh, who is promoting the event, told The United Press. "Unlike the girls members of the original members of the original sex tet, who apparently are as numerous as the .people who came over in -the Mayflower, here are only six of us. So the reunion won't be difficult to plan." Besides Welsh, who isinow playing with Fred Stone in Tip Top, the male members of the original sextet were Thomas Kiernan, George DeLong, Edward Gore, Joseph Colt and Ldtils Hooper. Welsh gave up a job as re porter in Elmira, N,, Y., to join the sextet. iHe soon left the show for a part in The Burgomaster, being suc ceeded by James Kiernan, a brother of Tom. The latter is still playing in vaudeville in this country and England. Hooper is a producer of musical comedy. Gore, a son of May Robson, the actress, Is In business in Salt Lake City. Coit is in the elec trical supply business in Wilming ton, Del. De Long, a banker in San Francisco, is believed to be the most wealthy of the six. Margaret Walker was Welch's partner in Floradora. The other girls, he said were Mary Wilson, Daisy Green, Agnes Wayburn, Mar jorie Ralyet and Vaughn Texsmith. In promoting the reunion, which will be the first time these men have got together sin$e 19(rl, Welsh hopes to satisfy a question that has in trigued theater-goers for years "What becomes of chorus men?" Peculiar Habit of Eels. The history of the eel is very re markable, and in some respects unique. During the spring and early summer thousands of young eels sev eral inches long migrate up rivers from the sea and distribute them selves throughout every accessible body of .water, whatever Its size or character, frequently traveling over* land to reach these. Here they remain concealed in the mud or beneath stones, and feed on all kinds of ani mal matter, living and dead. Many eels appear never to leave the fresh waters in which they have developed but most of them otter several years, return to the sea, and enter compara tively deep water where sexual matur ity and spawning takes place. Four Stars Cut From One Jewel. The Four Stars of Africa were cut from the huge Culliuan diamond, which weighed 1V4 pounds when dis covered in Pretoria in 1904 and pre sented by the Union of South Africa. It looked like a lump of rock salt, and experts said it would have to be di \lded in the cutting. The largest por tion was cut In a pear-shaped brilliant and set in the head of the king's scep ter. The next largest portion was cut in cushion shape and set In the band of the king's state crown. The other two portions are In the band and cross of the queen's state crown. The larg est portion weighs 510% carats, and the four together 086 carets. MAJOR-GENERAL UGGETT ENDS MILITARY CAREER (By United rress) Wires Foretell Weather.

San Francisco, March 22.*The ac tive military career 6f Major-Gen eral Hunter S. Liggett, second in command to General Pershing dur ing the war, came to a close here Monday. He was automatically retired un der the ages limit after 40 years con tinuous service in olive drab. Since his return from France, after he had led the American first army to victory through the stormy days of the Ar gonne and then had command 'of the American section in the occupation of Germany, Liggett has been at the head of the Western department of the army. Although his name has not been emblazoned in headlines, as in the thrilling days of 1918, none can say that Liggett failed to end his mill-! November 4, 1920, 193 mfles an hour. tary career with characteristic ac tivity. His work since taking com mand of the western depaitment here has included the reorganiza tion of the Mexican border patrol in California and Arizona, and import ant duties, quietly carried out, in putting the department on a peace basis. Liggett was a product of the ge nius factory of the American army i the Philippine insurrection, which followed the Spanish war. It was in that campaign that Liggett, Persh ing and the late General Punston won their spurs. He served as a ma jor with Pershing and Funston and from that time on the rise of the famous trio was rapid. Reading, Penn., claims Liggett as i its famous son. He was born there March 21, 1857. Twenty-two years later he graduated from West Point. His first assignment as a second lien tenant was with the fifth infantry, where he served, until 1884 when he was raised to a first lieutenancy. Juno 1, 1897, he was commissioned a cap tain and at the outbreak of the war with Spain became a major of volun teers, fighting in Cuba until peace was declared. It was then that he was transferred to the Philippines where his name began to become known among those who watch ca reers of military men. After serving until 1909 as a ma jor he was made a lieutenant-colonel and a little later a colonel. In 1903 he put the first star on his shoulder strap when he became a brigadier general. Just before the United States en* tered the war Liggett took command of the western department of the army with headquarters here and in 1917 became a major general. With the opening of active hostilities he directed preliminary organ*7ation work on the Pacific coast and went to France with one of the earliest contingents. On his retirement Liggett intends to live In California, either San Francisco or Los Angeles being his choice of homes. ^^^^^J^Ss^t mm Chinese Like NewAmerican DevilWagons Electric Truck Revolutionizes Far East Unloading Ai HOW THer OO IT WITH THE YANKEE COfiiTtiAPTtQN ffOWAJQAYS 'WP/i/M/r/ve OtfNESE UNWADING METHOD SWIFT AND SLOW MOVEMENTS Some Interesting Comparisons Made of Speed of- Travel of Various I Familiar Things.

All nationalities love certain national dishes, and some form of sausage seems included in the cui sine of every country. China makes sausages, and very good ones, from the eastern point of view. Germany is pre-eminently a sausage-eating na tion. Great quantities o this food are consumed by the people of Latin countries. In Italy .and France they are eaten more as a relish than as a dish, and the noonday meal often commences with thin slices of cold sausage, flanked with a few olives and a pat of fresh 'butter. Sausages In France are associated with certain fete days, and a kind of blood sau sage is always served at the Christ mas eve supper. .Neither is sausage a modern food, born of economy and the utilizing of. meat scraps. The town of Koenigsburg, Germany, in 1558, celebrated the national dish by mak ing a bologna sausage nidre than COO feet long. Best of Alt Things.
