IGS IS PIGS," believes R
Cecil Smith of the Selznick
: .t.cr ...t.
called from the western coast to the
eastern studios a few days ago.
A year ago when the government
requested everyone to raise a pig to
reduce the high cost of living, Mr.
Smith fell in line and bought his
pig. His order to return east
placed him in a predicament as what
to do with his pig. He wanted his
bacon he wanted it badly, and he
had it, but how to keep it was the
question. The Pullman company
wouldn't let him take it with him,
and there wasn't enough of it to
fill a stock car. Finally he figured
the price of bacon east and west,
then expressed it, and now- to
"break even" he has to raise more
bacon. j
Moon Bessie Barriscale givfs
another proof of her versatility as
"Kitty Kelly, M. D.," the photo-picture
now being shown at the Moon
theater. Heretofore Miss Barriscale
has specialized in society dramas,
but in "Kitty Kelly, M. D.' she as
sumes the role of a woman doctor
in a western mining town, and the
change is decidedly refreshing.
Upon her entrance in the town a
young mining foreman becomes af
flicted with a acute case of heart
trouble, while the miners in gen
eral fall heir to numerous other
complaints, keeping Kitty busy dis
pensing pills and Bevo. Miss Bar
riscale scintillates in her inimitable
way in the humorous episodes, and
rises to great dramatic heights in
the dramatic moments. . The pic
ture will be shown up to and in
cluding Saturday.
. Rialto An unusually striking
scene is shown in the photoplay,
"Back to God's Country, which is
having a big run at the Rialto thea
ter. It is a Scene in the deep for
ests of northern Canada with a
blizzard raging. It shows the ter
rific efforts of a man with a dog
sled trying to make his way through
the unbroken drifts. Another scene
of unusual interest is a midnight
dance given by a mmber of Es
quimaux squaws on board a shin
frozen in the ice. The picture will
be shown fq the last times today.
Sun The story of the overwhelm
ing love of a misguided girl for all
humanity is told in words of dra
matic emphasis in "The Right to
Happiness," a big eight-reel pro
duction being shown at the Sun
theater this week. Dorothy Phillips
in the title role achieves dramatic
heights. The picture plav wilt con
tinue for the balance of the week it
the Sun.
Empress The newest production
of J. Stuart Blackton is showing
today and for the remainder of the
week, at the Empress theater. It
is "The Moonshine Trail," co-starring
Sylvia Brrainer and Robert
Gordon, who were last seen to
gether in "Missing." also a Black
ton feature. "The Moonshine
Trail" depicts the romance of a
moonshiner's daughter and a young
city chap.
Strand Would you leave home?
Smith did. If you want to see a
motion picture that requires nothing
on your part but a desire to laugh
you shouldn't miss seeing Bryant
Washburn, starring in "Why Smith
Left Home," showing today and the
balance of the week at the Strand
theater. Lois Wilson. Mr. Wash
burn's leading woman, helps a lot
with the fun making, and others in
the cast are above the average. If
you are afflicted with the blues, go
see the picture; if you have a de
sire to live longer, see the picture.
Muse If there be any doubt as
to the easiness in which one can
make money, then you are entitled
to occupy a front seat at the Muse
theater today, and watch Bert Ly
tell, who takes the leading part in
that decidedly humorous photo
drama, "Easy to Make Money." It
will be show for the last times today.

STORIES upon which "Tish,"
which will be presented at the
rw Brandeis for three days, begin
ning tonight, with a matinee on
Saturday, is founded appeared under
the same name in the Saturday
Evening Post and are still fresh in
the minds of readers to whom the
three old maids, around whose per
sonalities the play has been built.
are familiar characters. "Tish," with
a lust of adventure which is never
entirely satisfied, is always landing
plumb into the middle of some ex
citement or other. She leads Aggie
and Lizzie through a maze of
strange happenings, which thev
alone and unabetted would pass up
n holy awe and horror.
A mixed quartet o! stars of the
operatic stage are the Giuliani Four,
who will provide one of the featured
acts of the new bill opening at the
impress today. Iheir program will
include both classical and popular
music. Another featured act will be
the comedy playlet, "Save," from the
pen of Grace Bryan, to be offered
by Minnie Stanley and her company
ot players. Adams & Hickey, two
charming young ladies, will appear
in a singing and piano act. A dis
tinct feature of. the bill is the ap
pearance of Delmars Lions, who
give a splendid Exposition of animal
training.
A special overflow matinee per
formance will be given at the Boyd
this afternoon by the Winter Gar
den company, which is offering
"The Passing Show of 1918," to the
delight of all the people the house
will hold at each opening, the big
company, headed ty Willie and
Eugene Howard, with its lone list
of clever " comedians, singers and
dancers and its honest-to-goodnflss
Broadway beauty chorus, is making
a record for itself and the house this
week.
;
Beverly Bayne and Francis X.
Bushman will act right out on tne
stage at the Bovd next week, start
ing Sunday night, in "The Master
Thief." It is a mystery drama of
the kind they have made themselves
so well known to the public on the
screen, and has been specially
selected for their uses in becoming
better acquainted with their thou
sands of admirers through presenta
tion of a spoken drama.
T. Roy Barnes, the laughing hit
of the show this week at the Or
pheum, with Bessie . Crawford is
presenting "A Package of Smiles."
Emma Haig and Jack Waldron pre
sent their original conception of
song and dance. "Heartland," a sym
bolic playlet charmingly done is of
fered by J. K. Emnfet and Mary E.
Ryan. "The Current of Fun," is an
electrical act which is both mystify
ng and amusing. These are' but a
few of the features in the bill that is
proving extremely attractive to
patrons of big-time vaudeville. It
is announced that next week Gus
Edward himself will appear at the
head of his own company- in a song
revue at the Orpheum.
Reference is made to the Gayety
theater where "Slitkin fl Slotkin,
Refined Lawyers," in the persua
sive personages of Watson & Cohen
are appearing with Barney Gerard's
"Girls de Looks." The production
is staged and costumed in the usual
Gerard manner, which means there
is nothing overlooked or to be de
sired. Ladies' dime matinee at 2:15
daily all week.
While were one to characterize

plot for a country-wide anarchistic
uprising during the winter and early
spring. Proof has been obtained. In
said, that arms and ammunition
were ordered from various makers
and that home-made weapons were
being prepared here in large quan
tities. Another arrest was made in New
York, bringing the total up to eight.
According to police, membership ;

Hart brand fruits and vegetables
are featured in Los Angeles' best
retail grocery stores as being in a
class by themselves?"
E. S. Frey, who has charge of
Simon Brothers' booth at the food
show, was the man that introduced
Michiean fruits and vegetables into
sunny California, which is hailed as
America s greatest truit state.
Can for can, and fruit for fruit,
the Hart brand was put beside that
of the best California brands
handled by Javany's fancy grocery,
and as a result Hart brand entered
California for the first time.
The California shipments of Hart
brand last year were over 20 'cars.
The fruits and vegetables sold under
Hart brand are all raised within
evening wind reach of Lake Michi
gan, and thousands of acres of peas,
beans, tomatoes and other vege
tables are raised for this one con
cern. Needless to say, from planting to
the factory is all done under the
supervision of trained specialists,
only the selected best being used
under the Hart brand.

Union Labor Chiefs
To Hold Conference
In Capital Dec. 1 3
Washington, Oct. 29 ''Funda
mental principles," upon which, or
ganized labor may combat 'grave
dangers ariecting the very roufica-
tion of its structure, are to b
formulated at a conference of union
chiefs in Washington, December 13.
Foimal call for the conference has
been sent to the union leaders over
the country. It was signed by the
members of the executive council of
the American Federation of Labor
and the chiefs of the railroad
brotherhoods, who explained that
the farmers' representatives who sat
with these union officials Saturday
did not feel that they had authority
to sign the call.
However, it was stated that the
National Farmers' organizations,
now in session or soon to meet,
would be invited to send delegates
with full power to act for those or
ganizations. It is the purpose of the
union leaders to form an alliance
with the farmers' organizations for
the carrying out of the campaign
which will be mapped out.
Regarding purposes of the con
ference, the call said that it was
"imperative" that labor's representa
tives adopt a program "which the
wage earners will accept in perform
ing their duties as citizens, and at
the same time maintaining the right
of free men in order to conserve
human interest and welfare.

Two hundred members of the con
gregation of the First Presbyterian
church attended a reception last
night in honor of their pastor, Rev.
Edwin Hart Jenks, celebrating the
culmination of his 20 years of serv
ice in Omaha. He came here from
California. I
Mrs. Louise Zabriske, organist at
the church, gave several selections
on the pipe organ. M. L. Loomis,
in a brief speech, told of the appre
ciation and gratitude which the
members of the church held, for Dr.
Jenks. He spoke of the pastor's
loyalty to those who were sick and
in distress, and his ever readiness
to be of help to those who needed
him in time of difficulty.
"Your voice has always rung true.
Love, truth and sincerity has been
your motto in all your 20 years of
service to this church and its con
gregation," he said.
Mr. Loomis presented Dr. Jenks
and his wife with a check for $500
from the congregation, as a gift of
appreciation for his services' to
them.
Light refreshments were served
at the conclusion of the reception.
