COUNCIL COMMENDS POLICE FOR NABBING SPEEDING AUTOISTS Commendation of the police department for its strict enforcement of the state laws against speeding was a feature of the council meeting Monday night. The matter came up when Councilman Waldele presented a resolution to this effect. It was passed unanimously. The ordinance to limit loads crossing the Doran bridge to a gross of six tons was read for the third time and passed. Matt Von Peln. representing the board of works, made a short report on the proposal to place a comfort station downtown. He said it was useless to think of getting the station placed in any business institution. He also said it would cost about $2,000.

The basement under the city light

plant otflce on Eighth street was mentioned as a possible location. On motion of Councilman Joe Walterman, the matter was referred back to the city engineer's office with instructions to draw up a set of plans and an estimate of the cost. Ford Protests. Al Ford registered a protest against the employment of two extra clerks for 15 precincts in the city, during the coming election.. Explanation by various officials brought out the fact that these precincts were located in the thickly populated sections of the city and the extra clerks were to insure that all the people got a chance to vote there. City Clerk William Stevens agreed to take the matter up with the board of election commissioners and reduce the number of clerks if they were

A resolution appointing election Inspectors for the various precincts of the city was adopted. Names of the inspectors and their posts in the city follow : First ward, sixth precinct, Howard Ridge, seventh, George Brehm, eigth Charles A. Thomas, ninth . Charles McPherson.

A suggestion that a number of dead trees on South Fifth street be removed, was presented by Councilman Waltertnan. who also brought up the nuestion or scarifying and ro'iing that street. Residents were complaining that the street was so rough that when they drove their cars through that section they had hard work to stay with the machines, he said. City Engineer Dell Dals replied that the city equipment was busy on K other streets at present but he hoped to reach that stretch before the end

of the fall season.

Two requests for street lights were received by the board of works. One was for a light at the intersection of Bridge Avenue and Grant streets, the ether at Twenty-Second and North F streets. Councilman Oscar E. Williams occupied the chair in the absence of Mayor Zimmerman.

The Theatres

MURRETTE As the basic theme for "The Child Thou Gavest Me," the First National attraction which Btarted at the Murrette theatre Sunday, John M. Stahl, the director, chose the one sure-fire subject of the American drama heart interest. Careful not to reduce his

production to sentimental mush, yeti never losing sight of the value of the !

human note in his story, the director made his picture a well-balanced combination of tense drama and subtle humor that cannot fail to arouse in

stant response in the spectator. To say that "The Child Thou Gavest Me 'i3 appealing and soul-stirring is not only taking advantage of overworked phrases, but is doing it advisedly and with full justification. A person who could sit through this picture without being touched by the plain

tive little figure of a boy who lives in ' a house divided and the situations!

which naturally arise from this condition is wholly incapable of human penetration or emotion. MURRAY "Where Men Are Men," which is being shown at the Murray theatre, is the William Duncan production in which Edith Johnson is co-star. It is an adaptation of "The Prince of the Desert Dream," a novelette by Ralph Cummins which appeared In Snappy Stories. Nearly all of the action takes place in the Death Valley gold section of California during the old fever with rough and ready prospectors as characters. The title is peculiarly descriptive. Scenes of the desert with its cactus and sage brush, of mining

shafts, of camps, dance hall3 and recreation resorts are numerous. Some of the most famous locations in California were used, making the production one of scenic beauty as well as of entertaining value. As far

as possible, Mr. Duncan used the locations described in Mr. Cummins' story, most of which are almost inaccessible and rarely visited by tourists. Thus "Where Men Are Men" will give the picture fan a view of scenery seldom seen in films. MURRAY VAUDEVILLE Flashy gowns, a varied color scheme, singing and wit feature the act. of the Fenwick girls, who open the Murray vaudeville the first half of the week. They display an act exceedingly neat and prim. Their practical jokes are different and are well accepted. Moss and Tafro furnish the comedy act of the show. Their surprise Is greeted with good humor by the audience. The last act consists of a miniature musical comedy with a cast of nine persons. The act contains plenty of dancing and good jokes.' The scenery is especially appropriate. One of the fair members of the troupe entertain? with a classical dance. This act takes up the time of two ordinary acts. An unusual assortment of gowns and beautiful scenery feature the act.

NEW LEADING LADY SCORES BIG SUCCESS IN 'POLLY ANNA' ROLE

BY MARVIN. Almost all depends upon the acting of the character having the title role in "Pollyanna," playing this week at the Washington theatre. Pollyanna is the subject, and Pollyanna is the show. This young lady Is portrayed by Miss Patti McKinley, the Jack Bessey

company's new leading actress. Perhaps one could go too far in praising the work of this addition to Richmond's theatrical entertainers, but there is little fear in heaping upon her

generous and unselfish approval. Miss McKinley literally wades into her station in the play. Never once does she appear in doubt as to what tone, gesture or position she should assume, to be convincing. It is watching the original Pollyanna, with her own native moods and impressions. John Pendelton (Herbert Duffy) loses none of his first indications of being able to cope with difficult situa

tions. His is a characterization in' which the best talents of which he is capable, can be produced. ' Jimmie Bean (George Robbins) tho one who has in every production given a capable and worth-while performance, retains his powers In "Pollyanna." Lotta Ellis, locally known for her "mother" roles, is equally able as the Eevere Miss Polly Harrington, aunt of Pollyanna. Dr. Chilton (Jay Collins) and Blecker (Arthur Olm i) are both seen at advantage. Nancy (Bonnie Beck) is never failing as the hired girl working for Miss Harrington. Mrs. Carmody, (Lucille Husting) who has the leading part in roost of the local presentations, is excellent as the prim old "ladies' aider." Had not one seen her in more prominent parts, the soft inflection of her voice might have been misunderstood. . Mr. Gregg (Clarence LeRoy) has a minor part, but creditably handles the position.

ROADS TAP MINING DISTRICT IN ALASKA

By Associated Press) . ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 18. Territory on both sides of the United States government railroad being built between Seward and Fairbanks, Alaska, Is being penetrated by wagon roads and trails which will serve as feeder lines for the railroad, according to Colonel James G. Steese, chairman of the Alaska Road Commission. During the past year $206,654.82 has been spent on road work in a strip

100 miles wide along the railroad. Several quartz districts have been opened, as a result of the road con

struction and, eventually, the mines will provide tonnage for the railroad it is thought. Colonel Steese has recommended that the government adopt a 10-year road-building program which will tap every producing district in the rail-

iroad area and through connections reach sections in other parts of

Alaska distant from the road. RICHMOND Today j
