"Sleeping Beauty"
Asks Aid of the
Local Bed Cross
Rel Cross headquarters were visit-wl
this morning by Sidney Lusk, a world
veteran with a mont interesting
record. Mr. Lusk enlisUl while cm
doyed by the Illinois Central rail
road and was sent to Siberia with the
railroad engineers. He had many in
teresting and exciting experience un
til one day u bolshevik hand grenade
exploited near him, fragments lodging
in his backbone sending b ts of hrap
Ttel all through the motor nerves and
paralysing him from the i-houlders
lown. Mr. Lusk by Rood luck was
uent out and while on the transport
as unconscious for days. His bud
dies called him the "Sleeping Beauty"
and this name stuck to nim after he
was landed at San Francisco and sent
to the hospital there. He was oper
ated upon several times, but it was a
difficult task to pet all of these shran
rl splinters removed from the
evtebi ae.
Mr. Lu.-k has been in various hos
pitals on the we. t coast, but says that
the base hospital at 1'alo Alto is the
real plare. J he boys are treated roy
ally iy a!! the neigh Imring towns.
I'cople from San Jse, Cal., came up
every week with home talent enter
tainments, after which they had cards,
dancing and cats. At Christmas he
received, along with the other boys
there, a Christmas box which he was
pure was worth at least $50, and in
addition the San Francisco Chronicle
presented every boy in the hospital
with $25 in told.
Mr I nvk wiiM riischarired from the
hospital when he received his papers
to take up vocational training. He is
nuKio in tiikp mi his former occupa
tion, although he still holds a nine-year
seniority with the Illinois Central. He
went to Illinois to visit his sister be
fore taking up the training, only to
find that since she had last written
Vim chn hm Knlil all her nronertv in
Centralia and had removed to Reno,
Km Itn u follnwinir her there and
that is how he happened to be here
in Alliance. He has papers with him
which corroborate his story. He is
one of the many ex-service men whose
compensat'on is not yet adjusted. Al
though he has been in the hospital
continually since icturning to the
United States he has received but one
compensation check. This will be ad
justed, however, for him as soon as
ne reports for vocational training.
While Lusk was in Siberia, his
father received word that he was
killed in action and for almost a year
believed him dead. During thus year
the father died and the sister came
into possession of all the property.
This is one reason air. i.usk is so
anxious to locate his sister.

I0YE
at the Kialto Thursday. "Hilly Jim"
is delicious comedy-di ama, with Frel
Stone dominating the action through
out. It is a play fashioned to order
for him ami it cnj;bles him to bring
forth all his little subletics of humor
that make him so opular. Also "Billy
Jim'' depicts Mr. Stone in his favorite
character that of a hard-riding cow
boy who is a crack shot with a rifle
or pistol and can rope a steer while
going full speed. Much of the action
of "Billy Jim" is laid in the most
beautiful country of the West. The
mountain lands, with tall snow-clad
peaks penetrating the heavens, form
a wonderful background for the story.
The experiences of a love-stricken
cowboy in his pursy .t of the daughter
of a wealthy man form the ground
work of this most engrossing story.
Mr. Stone, of course, is the lover and
his novel ideas of love-making develop
much clean amusement.
Mrs. C. C. Smith of ScnttsblufT will
arrive in Alliance Thursday night to
be the guest of Mrs. V. H. l'ate for
a few days. ,
Mrs. A. V. Newberg will entertain
the N. W. Bridge cjub Wednesday

AT THK KIALTO.
"Fascination." the latest Mae Mur
ray production, which is presented by
Robert Z. lonard, reveals the famous
star in the most ambitious of her roles.
No other character that she has tmr-
trayed requires as much difficulty and
emotional acting as "Fascination
which is the feature at the Rialto to
night and Wednesday. Although it
marks a new step in her career, a step
in the direction of tensely emotional
(h ama. "fascination is bv l.ilmunil
Goulding, who wrote Miss Murray's
sensationally successful "I'eacock Al
ley'" from a story of Ouida. Bergere.
Mo.-t of the scenes are laid in Spain.
Miss. Murray appears as Dolores De
Lisa, the daughter of a Spanish father
and American mother. She combines
Latin fire with Yankee jKp. The com
bination leads her to bolt from the
rigid restrictions of her Spanish home
to join the crowds going to the Easter
Day bull fight. There she becomes
fascinated by a handsome toreador
and this fascination leads her into a
series of vivid adventures.
The cast includes Helen Ware.
