"The Merchant of Venice,"
A 4-part production put out by the Smalleys. The theme of
this play needs no introduction to you and when 'you' know
that Lois Weber acts the part of Portia and Phillips Smalley
the part of Shylock, you can be assured of a well produced
picture. Much time,care and expense was given to the film
mr of it. There is no question about the results; the im
"pression left is that only the divine spark of genius could
have adapted, produced and acted out the parts of ibis play.
Aside from this there will be shown a two-'parl Selig,

The Hershey Giants defeated the
North Platte high school team in a fast
game of baseball Saturday afternoon by
a score of 10 to 8 at Hershey. The
high school boys played the best game
they have ptoyed this season and their
defeat was due to succession ot conflict
ing events. Cross and Claubaugh were
batteries for the local men and Cross
pitched a fine game. Several times he
was "in a holo" but got out of it in a
commendable manner. The Giants got
eight hits off of him and the boys get
sixteen off McCain, the same pitcher
that fanned twenty-two Brule men a
fewdaysago. McCain and McConnell
were batteries for Hershey. A return
gume will probably be played here Sat
urday afternoon.
