Babe Danields in return 'showings of the delightful Paramount picture "SH'ck Abed" and "Fatty" Arbuckle in his famous two part comeuy entitled "The Hayseed" are announced as attractions at the Elko theater for tomorrow, Thurs day. VIVIAN MARTIN IN STRONG PLAY AT GRAND No stranger, yet more reasonable and appealing motion picture plot than that of "The Song of the Soul," which comes to the Grand theater for two days, commencing tonight has ever been seen in Bemidji. It is a Mlessmore Kendall-Robert W. Cham bers production, released by 3old? wyn, and Vivian Martin is the featur ed player. A remarkable love story, involving a beautiful (blind girl and! a young man terribly Scarred through an ac cident, is the basis of the film. Most of the scenes were taken in the back water section of Florida, the first time the motion picture camera has invaded that desolute region. The millions of photoplay fans who adore Vivian Martin are going to get a delightful surprise when tfaey see the little star in "The Song of the Soul." In the past, she has played light roles almost exclusively. Now she shows what she can do with a part that calls fori dramatic talent of the imost exalted degree. As the pa thetic blind, ffirl, Miss Martin's act ing is inspiring. The helplessness, the innocence, the bravery of Bar bara Seaforth are unerringly suggest ed in the star's work. All,who saw it at the initial presentation in New York were thrilled at one of th real ly flnp. perflffi|aance"y liimiiTTimfnuiim te&.4? !tf NEWS OF THE THEATRES AJhfci HAYAKAWA REALIZES HIS LIFE AMBITION (With the first turn or the camera crank on "The tFir,8t Born," the Rob ertson-CQle stuper-specl-al starring Sessue Hayakawa, which shows at the Elko, last times tonight, the fam ous Japanese actor, was well on th way toward the realization of a life time ambition. Long before Hayakawa rose to his envied position as the screen's "artis tic tragedian" there flamed within him the hope that some day he would have the opportunity of creating on the screen the role of Chan Wang, the wistful, pathetic figure in Francis Powers' tremendous drama. Through his work under the Robertson-Cole banner, Hayakawa gradually rose to the culmination of his dream. Helen Jerome Eddy wihose name is linked with some of the moat note worthy screen productions, plays- the leading feminine role in "The (First Born". The rest of the cast includes Marie Pavis,, "Sonny-Boy" Warde, Goro Kino, Frank Seki and Wilson Hummell.

The rafters, are ifestoon ed with 'boughs of pine and fir. In the spacious fireplace, which stretches across an entire endt of the room, crackle enormous logs. Hard-handed ranchers and forest ers, rosy-cheeked, vivacious out-of doors girls, and white-haC.red pioneers who have spent their lives in the Do minion mingle in a revel of whole sale merriment, a revel that contrasts strangely with the fashionable socie ty affairs of biase Londpn which fol low later in the story.

Born at Pawtucket, Rhode Is lands, she was left an orphan at the age of eleven, and placed i'.n the cus tody of an aunt. At the age of twelve Ruth was sent to St. Mary's Semin ary and afterward to Tue Ursuline Academy in New York. From her .earliest youth, Ruth Clif ford took to athletics, her friends of ten remarked in fun that she was born with, a kick. Of modest means, the girl was never spoiled and soften ed by pampering and luxury, and spent her idle hours in outdoor play which accounts for the unusual ath letic ability she displays so effective ly in "The Invisible Ray." Ruth Clifford's career in motion pictures was the result of the purest accident. While passing the Edison Studio on Decatur avenue on her way to and from the Academy, she used to peep through a 'hole in 'the fence to catch a glimpse of some of the scenes. As luck would have it the Edison di rector, who chanced to pass by, and was struck by her beauty, which strongly resembles that of Mary Pick ford', offered her a minor role in one of the scenes which she accepted \yith open arms. "PASSION" AT THE REX SUNDAY AND MONDAY Next Sunday at the Rex theater will have an/ attraction extraordin ary, an offering such as few motion picture theaters ever offer. It is "iPassion" the Flirst National super drama with the brilliant continental star, Pola Negri, in the stellar role. "Passion" unfolds a thrilling story of the rise of a humble little French milliner to a position where she is able to dominate a king. She is a character replete, with a Strang mix ture of virtues and faults, but above all, she possesses irresistible wiles and smiles, sirch as easily ensnared men of the highest rank. But her great triumphs prove to be her great undoing in the end and the sequence of events through which she passes in her rise and fall combine to make one of the most appealing and mo3t sensationally engrossing narratives the screen has yet visualized. It is a foregone conclusion that an unus ual treat is in. store for every patron of this theater in witnessing this great photoplay spectacle. "OLD LADY 31" AT THE REX THEATER THURSDAY Emma Dunn has created for the soreen her famous role of Angie in tlsa. stage"*!ttay in iJfrich "ste made siic&a 'lift several sa%$ns ago at-the 39th Street theater ifi New YorK city. Metro D$*M* cojjjforgiQn has ob tained this capabl#l^iie and also Henry Harmon, wrho played the part of Abe, her husband, in the original production by Lee Kugel. The play pfesewt'!t*Hw"*,beautiful contrast of youthful romance and the devotion of an Ag&4w/uple. a shows, as one criSic remarked, "that grandmothers andf **i|fathers are just the same as/btheiypeo$le, only Older." Antri.m:morfT|#ne of the most popular screfBafnwniles, and Winifred Westover, who was DeWolf Hopper's leading woman for two years, play the parts of the youthful lovers. The story of Angie and Abe Hose is that of an aged couple who have invested their life savings in mining stocW which proves worthless, With only one hundred dollars left they start for their old home, Anjf.e to enter the Old Ladies' Home and Abe the Aims House. The arrival of the old couple at the gate of the institu tion is touching and overwhelming. The youthful romance develops when Mary, daughter of one of the directors of the institution falls in love with John, a young man of all work about the place. AND LUBRICATING OILS Beltrami Ave Minn.

(Written for the United Press) New York, May 9.The purposes which actuated the National Associa tion of Manufacturers in calling a Conference of Ambaseadorfi and Min isters on World Trade, were exem plified iby President Harding in his first address, to congress when^ foe said: I "Our obligations in effecting.

This restoration must be wrought before the human procession can go onward As an organization comprising 6,- 000 members, which produces ap proximately 8fl per cent of all of the raw and manufactured materials in the United States, the Nation-1 A?o- 2iation of Manufacturers has determ ined if possible co-ord.inate the re sources of its members in, an effort to '3tabt'lize social and econord'c con ditions throughou the world. Out of the conflicting desires and needs of the world today, two funda mental necessities are apparent. They are employment for the people, md production by industryeach dependent upon the other, and 'both dependent upon ources of supply which only the United States can provide. Production In the Uniited States today is hampered: because we have a surpius of raw and manufac tured materials. Production in Eu rope is stagnant .because she lacks the very materials of which we have a surplus, which she cannot buy be sause she has not the ready funds. It is an! amazing dilemna which we must solve and which we can volve only by-extending the necessary credits that will enable factoi-tes that are now idle for lack of raw ma terials, to resume production, there by providing employment for the peo pie and producing not only the neces-1 sities of life, for which they stand so 'much in need, but also a surohisj which will enable them to meet their obligation and to (increase theJr pur chases of additional raw material and manufactured! materials. It has become more .and more vi dent during the last five years that i no section of the world can be soi .-1- ly or economically independent. The! United States, once regarded as the most self-sufficient of all the great nations of the world, has discovered that she .must not only Lave an out let for her surplus tin the markets of the world, but that she must be able to 'buy as freely from the rest of the world the various raw and manufac tured mateiuals which she consumes or which goes into manufacture of her own products. Economists esti mate that in 1920, for instance, thei total income of the country from all forms of activity was $701000,000,- 000 and 115,000,000,000) of this: imount, or more than 21 per cent, was. ijiitforeign. trade,, Tha^ttai|cIiV-*tt^^t\'ot:th mun try, whose duty ut Is to organize the complicated mechanism by which commerce is carrjiedi on, keenly real izes the necessity for adequate machinery to meet entirely new prob lems in international commercial finance. It is apparent that iro order to meet them, the thorough coopera tiion of the producers of th0 country is necessary, because after all, finan oiers are merely trained specialitts,! operating with the ammunition sup plied entirely* .by the producer. Unless the manufacturer knows definitely and concllsely the relation which commercial stagnation thru out the rest of. the world bears to hCs own Industry,? he is not liable to he vitally interested, except In an ab stract manner. I believe, however, that when American manufacturers realize the fundamentally important part, which conditions in Europe jlayl in shaping conditions in this country, that they wiill endeavor to stabilize them with the sam degree of precision, expertnes? and' energy which mark their conduct of doniea-j tic business1. It is because ths National Associa tion of Manufacturers believes thatj its members can best be informed' through the representatives1 THE BEMlDJI DAILY PI of other nations just what conditions abroad are toflay, that it -has organized the Conference of Ambassadors and Min isters of iWorld Trade.

MMu'mr^ to 4he executives- responsible for the commercial supremacy of this coun try, why those executives must co operate with the other nations of the world in restoring production* It is impossible at this time to say what permanent results will be achieved by this conference, but I believe that if it does nothing else it will paint the most vivid and intimate picture yet (painted in thtte country, of the vast importance of the rest of the world to the well-being of this, coun try. In every part of the United States one finds manufacturers, both indi vidually and ini groups, who are vit ally anxioue to add in every way pos sible iln restoring the economic equil ibrium of the world, not only because they are anxious for the welfare o1 other peoples, but also 'because they are disturbed regarding the welfare of their own people. It is difficult, however for these busy men to get a clear and un'ttiased view of the neces sities of the situation unless an or ganization such as ours undertakes to present to them briefly, definitely and concisely a salient presentment such as we ho* Willi develop from the conference of Ambassadors and ministers on. world trade.
