CIRCUS PARADE THIS YEAR LURE Combined Sawdust Aggregations Due Monday.

Local youngsters will positively see u circus parade this year. So say the advance agents for the great double circus which bears the name of the Ringiing Brothers and llarnum & Bailey Shows Combined, gehedoled to exhibit in this city Monday, Aug. 9. The showmen feel it advisable to give this added assurance owing to the fact that many street parades were foregone last season because of the many prot>leras which seriously handicapped the circuses. The circus gives promise of psesenting on show day morning the most gorgeous free street parade ever designed and toured through America. Some idea of the magnitude of this wonderful calvaleade may be hod from the fact that it stretches out exactly three miles in length ami includes more than 100 floats, tableau wagons and allegorical cars, all of the newest and most elaborate design, and entirely different from anything used heretofore." Hundreds upon hundreds of strange people and wonderful horses participate. The elephant section numbers far more pachyderms than have ever before been seen at one time. There are many novelties. These include musicians and wlerd bands from the Orient who ride on gorgeously bedecked elephants while playing strange instruments. Th<v floats and tableau wagons are filled with pretty dancing girls in gay '■ostumes. representing different nationalities of the world and the parade stretches out like a great, gorgeous panorama of the universe. Continuous melody is supplied by seven bands and three calliopes, and the spectators are kept in good humor by an army of the funniest clowns in the world. The parade will leave the circus grounds promptly at 10 o'clock, and will pass through the principal residential and business sections of the city. A definite lino of march will be determined by a representative of the circus and the police department on the day before the date of exhibition. Os course, it is a safe prediction that virtually the entire population, big and little, will be on hand to witness the wonderful, free spectacle.

STEDMAN COINS PARTY SLOGAN ‘From Bastile to Whitehouse,’ Says Socialist Candidate.

CHICAGO. Aug. 2.—" From the white walls of Atlanta's bastile to the whitehouse at Washington—from the dungeon to liberty"—was the call of the socialist party, sounded here today by Seymour Stedman, accepting the vice presidential nomination of the party. , Immediate socialization of the railroads and mines, flour mills and stock yards was advocated in the letter of acceptance directed to the national executive committee here. "I accept the nomination,” he wrote, "deeply appreciating the confidence and comradeship with which it comes and pledge my best efforts to meet the duties and requirements of the task you have set for me. “Our beloved standard-bearer is mute by the judgment of a harsh and unreasonable interpretation of war-time legislation. "His imprisonment is continued by a ruthless despotic chief of the democrats, supported by a republican congress.” He expressed it as the aim of the party "to transform the present capitalist system into a collective and co-operative society.” “We have always in the past advocated a peaceful change, and this high hope is still cherished by us,” he said. The espionage act was denounced as the most “cowardly, brutal and inexcusable act ever passed by political representatives of the capitalists.” Social ownership and democratic man agement of the means of production and the “control of government for the producers by the producers” were suggested.

CONSTANCE VAMPS A BUNCH OF BOMB THROWERS And Saves the Life of Her Lover in a Circle Movie

“THE BOTTOM OF THE WORM)" IS FIRST { CASS ENTERTAINMENT. Right in the beginning, iet me say that "The Bottom of the World," the official movies of Sir Ernest Shackleton's unsuccessful dash to ream the south pole, are not dry educational pic-pores but a narrative of real adventure in which the award of success was either fame or death. There will be some people this week who will shy clear of the Ohio because the title of the ftbackleton movie sounds educational and highbrow, but those who do enter that theater this week will be repaid many times. For many years the writer has seen movie after movie of various themes ana treatments, some good, and many bad, others fair and some terrible, but "The Bottom of the Wolrd” makes up fur many unsatisfactory movies. We welcome this Shackieton movie be cause it is, genuine and throws light on at which no white man pro viously had any knowledge One can sit comfortably in a seat at the Ohio and see the major points of Shackieton'* dangerous trip of nearly two years to reach the south pole Tbeae movies were actually taken by camera men who risked their lives with Shackieton to film the unknown, and what a splendid success these movie men haR: made. To the writer's humble opinion, the most effective part of the movie is that devoted to the circumstances leading up to the actual crushing of Shackletoa'a ship, the Endurance, in the Ice fields 800 miles awr y from the nearest point of civilization. One can not help but feeling the same despair that the famous explorer must b*Te felt when the Endurance surrendered to the ice. Miles and miles of i<e separated Shackieton from civilization when his ship was destroyed, and after seeing these movies, one can appreciate th<* tremendous task which lies before those who risk life and fortunes searching for the north and Jinuth poles. The movie has been cleverly divided into chapters and entertainingly titled, tut the supreme- minute of "The Bottom of the World" occurs when the hlp goes to pieces in the i<-e Holds. Opinion: One should see "The Bottom of the World,” not only for its historical value but to meet your individual obligation to support the real things of the stage and the screen. At the Ohio all this week. W. I). 11. ETHEL. CLAYTON ‘ SOW AT ALHAMBRA. And Ethel Clayton scores again. That line might be the fitting end to v dM 1 which is this star s "l' latest photoplay iJy y fejl But we have mods < Jti HI i! G.o beginning nf 'bis. and wdil work ic'.c to the iteglnr ks;; nir.g.

Anti she has a | f\ [ Ittlng role. 1# '<?' \yk A* a successful 3 /Mtk ; l irtist she has the j opportunity to wear x*- ,1 "' m °dl*b clothing without which this Ethel Cii-j.JO. would not be a Clayton picture. It is thoroughly up to the Clayton standard, and decs not lack any of the attributes of her former successes. Charles Meredith is her leading man. and he does some good, convincing work. The rest of the cast is good and includes Jane Acker. Irving Cummings and Clyde Fillmore.

But the main part of the photoplay is Miss Clayton. The story is good, the direction is good, and the whole production is above the average. But Ethel Clayton overshadows all this. She would appear to advantage in almost any production, but when she has a combination of cast and play tba( - Is so suited to her as she has in “The Iladder of Lies," there is no disputing her superiority. We enjoyed this play. And we advise all who admire this actress not to miss ‘'The Ladder of Lies.” So now we will finish at the beginning in saying that Eetbel Clayton fan be seen at the Alhambra todjy, tomorrow and Wednesday. \ -I- 1- -I----AT THE COLONIAL. Great fields of wheat. They play an important part iu "Riders of the Dawn,” a Zane Gray story that is at the Colonial this week. The process of harvesting the wheat is shown down to the shipping to the markets. The story of "Riders of the Dawn" concerns the malicious efforts of a gang of ruffians to destroy the crops of the farmers and intimidate them. The hero of the story is Roy Stewart, as Kurt Dorn, a returned soldier, a eaptaia, and the son of a prominent farmer. Realism is probably the greatest virtue of this picture. The machinations of the gang assume a character of reality that cloaks all the episodes of the story.

The wheat is ope of the elements that aids in this res>ect. The harvesting 4nd the lore of the farmers for their product make a great feature of the picture. The work of the cast is good, especially in the .-ase of the star and Claire Adams, his leading womuu. They are other elements that tend to make the rea!iui of the story have its appeal. . . -|. .|. •HEIGHAN MOVIE DCF. FOR A BIN.

You remember in the last story we left Puss Junior with the big western giant on his purple hill top Just as the sun was going down. Well, in a little while after that It grew very dark, #o the GUttt said, “Mother Goose, you and Puss Junior come into my castle for the night.” So In they went, and oh, dear me, wasn't it a great big place. It was so large that Puss felt smaller than a fly, and the chairs were so high that he

And then the Gander flew up, too, with Mother Goose on his Lack, but even then the Giant’s head tewered above them like a church bell in a high steeple.

Ptrss IN BOOTS JR. By DAVID CORY.

“I once met the Giant of the Bean stalk," said little Puss Junior, "but he wtisn't nearly so big as you." And then this big giant began to laugh, ami, oh dear me. When he laughed the castle shook and trembled and the great chan delier tinkled and trlnkled, for It was ail made of crystals, you know, like the kind grandmother used to have in hot house when I was a little boy. And after that the Giant showed them where they were to sleep, and In the morning when Puss got up to dress be saw his gnat host walking in the garden. picking roses that were bigger than cabbages. So Puss hurried down and went out In the garden, and as aoon as the Giant saw him he said: “Come th the stables, my tittle cat." And then (wasn't It generous in that giant?) he gave Puss a beautiful horse. It was really n pony, although it was av big as a horse. And then Puss rode away, after saying goodbv to Mother Goose and the Giant's family. Weil, after Puss had ridden far many a mite, be eame to a bridge, and on a sign was written: "This is the way to Fairy Land." "Over the bridge And far away, Is the land where the fairies Love to play. Where dwarf) and gnomes And wonderful things Are seen by him Who merriiy sings.” So Puss started right away to sing s song: "Oh, I’m the famous Puss in Boots — I mean, I'm his famous son; I'Te traveled far, from moon to star. And ray journey’s Just begun," and before he could sing any more up Jumped a little fairy right in his path and waved her wand. And, of course, Puss Junior's horse stopped and neighed, for he wasn’ fused to fairies, you know. He didn’t mind giants, you know, but he had never seen little tiny people before. And in the next story you shall hear more about Puss In Fairy Land.—Copyright, 1920. (To Be Continued.)
