"One a Minute," a photoplay dealing
with P. T. Barnum's famous remark
concerning the birthrate of fools, will
lie the attraction at the Imperial to
night Douglas MacLean puts the idea
across. The story deals with a young
lawyer who inherits a drug store and a
war with a chain of stows which
threatens to put him out of business.
A patent medicine proves his salva
tion, even when the rival syndicate
has him arrested for violating the pure
food and drugs act. The judge is taken
ill during the course of the trial and
"Knight's 1)9" proves a lifesaver.
Fcarl White in "Beyond Price" is
the Wednesday feature. In the be
ginning of the play, she makes three
wishes: She wishes to be a million
aire's wife; she wishes to be a famous
woman, and she wishes to have baby
arms around her neck. All her wishes
are granted.
The big feature of the week comes
Thursday, in Rex Ingram's "The Con
quering Power," made by the producer
and the cast that made "The Four
Horsemen" such a brilliant success.
Here's something about the story: The
Grandet brothers have amassed for
tunesone by showy speculation in
Paris, the other by keen miserliness
in the provincial town of Noyant. The
Parisian wealth is swept away in a
market gamble and he kills himself,
leaving his son, Charles, a spoiled
dandy of the boulevards, to the charity
of the miserly brother. Charles trav
els to Noyant, where he meets his
charming young cousin. A simple,
unworldly girl, she is fascinated by his
metropolitan finesse. But her father,
lustful for gold, packs the impov
erished young man off to Martinique.
Charles carries with him Eugenie's love
and some thousands of francs that
the girl had secretly given him. When
the secret of this gift is learned, old
Grandet, in a frenzy of rage, locks the
girl in her room, and writes to
Charles, who is struggling to make his
fortune in the tropic island, that Eu
genie is engaged to be married.
So begins the tremendous drama of
love and greed, founded upon "Eu
genie Grandet," one of the greatest
stories of the supreme novelist, Balzac,
and translated to the screen for Metro
in a production by Rex Ingram. The
production that has been acclaimed in
New York as rivalling the Ingram
presentation of Ibanez's "The Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse," and the
two principals of "The Four Horse
men," Alice Terry and Rudolph Valen
tino, have scored the greatest triumph
of their careen as Eugenie and
Chirle3.

Alliance. ( happell is repotted to have
a b'g hwivy team while not excrjtion
ally fast. A game has been arranned
letwecn Alli.it.ee and Chappell for next
Thursday. For a while a game seemed i
to be a rather remote possibility as
Chappe'd seemed to have tio great de
sire to tangle with Alliance. Since the
Sidney game, however, Chappell has
evidently decided that Alliance is not
as much to lie fen red" as they first
thought nnd a game has been ar
ranged. Chappell will alt-o play at Al
liance for the last game of the season.
Scottsl.luff defeated Bayard Friday
20 to 17, in a came which, accord inc
to the ScottshlufT paper, was one of i
the roughest ever seen on the Scott s
bluff floor, two players being put otf
the floor for slugging. Bayard's sea
son has been rather disastrous no far.
especially for the town that won the
I championship last year. Uavards
standing in the conference is second
from the bottom, leading only Bridge-
port.
Sidney has contracted a rather an
noying habit of walloping Alliance in
basket hall, although Alliance usually
get revenge in football. Iast year
was the first time in nine years that
Alliance was able to take Sidney's
measure on their own floor, and even
then Sidney evened the count by win
ning on the local floor. Sidney seems
to be a basket ball town, there never
having been a time when they were
not serious contenders for the cham
pionship. Sidney has never had a
weak team and they have probably
taken the banner more time's than any
other school in western Nebraska.
Buck Iletron of Bayard has gone to'
Michigan to join forces with his former j
coach, Spruitt. llerron was all west-;
ern fullback in 1!20 and all western
quarterback in 1921. He has played!
two years of basket ball with Bayard :
also. His loss has been greutly felt by '
the Bayard team, which so far has
done little in the championship ruce.
Emerson and Central grade schools
tangled in a preliminary to the Sidney
Alliance game Friday night, Emerson
emerging victorious to the tune of 22- j
2. Lunn ami Young played a great'
game for the West Side team gather
ing most of the points. The Emerson
basketeers excelled in every branch of
the game.
A forward on the Shenandoah, Ia.,
basket ball team set a record which is
seldom if ever equalled. This player.
Captain Stibbs, threw twenty-three ;
field goals and five free throws, or aj
total of fifty-one points. In the game
in which this feat was performed
Shenandoah defeated Farragut high
school 142 to 4.
The present football scandal seems
to bio" lair for wrecking every strong
team in the middle west with the pos
sible ' exception of Nebraska and Chi
cago.' The other teams had no particu
larly bright prospects for next year
and cannot be depended upon to up
hold the middle western states inter
sectional battles.' All of Notre Dame's
men are gone and Illinois' team is also
wrecked. Iowa is involved but as yet
nothing definite has reached the public.
Probably the most prominent are
Anderson and Killey, Notre Dame's
famous ends, both of whom have been
picked by several authorities for a
place on the Ail-American. This may
do something to make the college
players realize the seriousness of play-1
ing witn semi-proieseionai teams,
however.
Kimball has a town basket ball team
that from all reports should give any
team a stiff tussle. Tekrinke, Eichen
berger and Paulsen are playing and
this trio are about as hard to equal as
any to be found in the state. Paulsen
is the man who was discovered to be
ineligible in the middle of last season
when it was found that instead of
being an undergraduate he had already
graduated from school in Pennsylvan
ia. Paulsen is undoubtedly the fastest
basket ball player in this part of the
state.
Sutton and Geneva, two rather small
towns, have made remarkable records
in basket ball. Both usually play in
class A at the state tournament and
play such towns as Lincoln, Grand Is
land, Hastings and the Omaha teams,
usually with about an even break in
wins and defeats. This year Sutton
lost to Lincoln after leading through
out the game until the last few min
utes. Other towns which have good
records are Cambridge and North
Platte, both of which lean heavily on
football for their glory. Cambridge
won the football championship in 1920
and North Platte in 1921.
Ravenna defeated the Grand Island
business college, 34 to 12, last week.
The business college 'has applied for
membership in the state conference,
too. However, Hastings high defeated
Hastings college at the beginning of
the season and Hastings college is al
ready in the conference They ha- e
been some team to reckon with at
times.
Few high scores have been run up in
western Nebraska high school basket
ball in recent years and what is be-.
heved to be a record game was played
between Alliance and Crawford on
Crawford's floor in 1908. When the
whistle blew at the end of the game
