AMUSEMENT
MURRAY ! Edna Murphy and Johnnie "Walker, tie Fox stars, are consistent in their success. Having scored three times as co-stars, they opened Sunday at the Murray theatre In "The Jort" and boosted the success total to four. They first attracted serious attention in the Fox production "Oyer the Hill." "The Jolt" is an exceedingly entertaining story of a young war veteran, Johnnie Stanton, who returns to the United States with a French bride. Unable to obtain employment, he goes back to the criminal gang with which he was formerly identified. They plan a night burglary. In the midst of this enterprise something happens to Johnnie that changes the whole counfe of his life. Special note must be made here of the extreme natnralness of both young stars. As one reviewer in another town remarked, "Edna Murphy and Johnnie "Walker represent the new styles in screen heroes and heroines."
This is true. No posing for them, or
iooJtmg pretty for the camera. Miss
Murphy is a real girl and Mr. Walker is a he-man, and they make their characters live convincingly on the
screen. . MURRETTE
"Grandma's Boy," Harold Lloyd's newest comedy in five parts, and his most ambitious attempt for Associated Exhibitors, is playing at the Murrette theatre. It is the comedy tha Bob
Sherwood in "Life," said should win for Lloyd a "room and bath in the
Hall of Fame." The story, which Is by Hal Roach
Sam Taylor and Jean Havez, has for
its theme a subject as serious as the regeneration of a coward, but its seriousness adds to rather than detracts
from the fun.
Lloyd is the Boy who, all hU life,
has been gripped by fear. One day,
arter his weakness has been driven
very forcibly home to him, and he
is filled with shame, his litt'e old-
fashioned grandma tells him a marvelous story Qf how his grandfather,
who had distinguished himself in the
Civil waf, overcame his cowardice
with the aid of a charm given him by
a gypsy. Grandma gives the Boy the charm
and what he does then Is too good
to tell. Suffice to say that tbs boy
finds that courage is a matter cf self-
confidence, and he comes out on top
The cast in support of Harold Lloyd
Iff ' Grandma s Boy" presents Mildred
Davia as the Girl, Anna Townsend as
the Grandmother. Charles Stevenson as the rival, Dick Sutherland as the Rolling Stone, and Noah Young as the Sheriff. Fred Newmeyer directed. The titles, like all Lloyd titles, are by H. M. Walker.
RICHMOND One of the Interesting events for lovers of the photoplay of the season is occuring at the Richmond theatre, where James Oliver Curwood's latest story of the Northland, "Isobel, or the Trail's End," opened yesterday for a run of several days. This film drama is a product of the directorial talent of Edwin Care we, and is presented with a cast which, features House Peters and charming Jane Novak. Of all the Curwood stories, it has
been acknowledged that none has the breadth and human appeals of his famous novel, "Isobel," from which this interesting epic of a Northland romance was adapted. Those who have read this volume will find that this photoplay version adheres closely to the lines of action and character portrayal as laid down by the author. Edwin Carewe, in fact, has been said to have given photoplay fans their first glimpse of Cud wood; in other words, he has retained the full power of the author's sweeping character portray
als and his tense and exciting cli
maxes.
When presented for the first time at
the Hotel As tor grand ball room in New York, recently, reviewers de
clared it was the greatest story of the northwest ever filmed. It comes to this city after repeating its successful New York premiere in other large
cities of the country. ,
MURRAY VAUDEVILLE If s truly remarkable to find a revue
in which some one isn't trying to spoil
it by an attempt at grand opera, or four out of five of the young ladies are no
longer young; yet that is just wnat the Murray has headlining .the bill this first half of the week, and that should be recommendation enough.
But for the benefit of the skeptics it
might be added that the act is beau
tifully presented and capably handled.
The revue is billed as the La Petite
Ballet, and boasts the presence of five
charming youngs dancers of ability.
Christy and Ray, "Two Southern
Gentlemen," are as neat a comedy
team as one seeks. For the absence
of slapstick maneuvers we are justly
grateful. The offering Is one that has
no ill reaction on the part of the au
dience, reflecting a much deserved
credit to the two boys.
Freda Held leans just a little toward the class called "wicked," but
she doesn't mean any harm even to the drummer. Looking at it from this
standpoint one can settle back and
enjoy her vocal exhibitions in a tranquil frame of mind. Her double voice
demonstration is especially interest
ing.
Much applause is' accorded the Zella Brothers for their rapid program of aerial feats. The two also are exceptional contortionists, a fact which one is not allowed to forget while the
brothers are holding the boards.

WASHINGTON
At last the flivrw has been immor
talized! The familiar "tin lizzie" has
successfully charged its attackers'
shafts of ridicule and thrown up strong defense of honor and glory,
Such, is the achievement in the new
Paramount picture, "Across the Con
tinent," starring Wallace Reid, which
is showing at the Washington theatre. It is beyond doubt the best automobile racing story in which the popular star has been seen. It involves a cross
continent race, wherein Mr. Reid, playing the son of Theodore Roberts, the manufacturer of the poor-man's car, drives the little motor, known as the "Dent," through wind, rain, fire, and across mountains, rivers and deserts, on to victory, defeating all contestants. '- Mary MacLaren. leading woman and former star, supplies the romance and shows no little pluck by sitting at the star's side as mechanician as he tears over the roads at a terrific pace. Others in the cast are Betty Francisco, Walter Long, Lucien Littlefield, Jack Herbert, Guy Oliver and Sndney DAIbrook. . ....

Ohio Farmers May Barn Corn Instead Of Coal;
Money Made In Tobacco COLUMBUS Ohio. Sent. 11. Prices
which Ohio farmers will receive for their products this fall will scarcely compensate them for their toil and the
cost of production, according to expressions heard on every side among farmers attending the state fair during the past week. Far from making it possible for the farmers' books to balance, the economic situation is such that many agriculturists painted pictures of black despair. Some farmers go so far as to predict that the stories of burning corn for fuel out in western states may have their reflection in Ohio this winter. It will be cheaper to burn the corn than the coal they must buy, when it will take nearly a pound of corn to buy a pound of coal. To put it on a slightly larger scale, it will require nearly an acre's production to pay for a ton of coal, at the $10 price which is being quoted to the farmer this year for this winter's fuel supply. Two Classes Profit.
Only-two classes of farmers will make money this year it was asserted.
These are the truck farmers and the tobacco raisers. Thlng3 do not look
so bad, either for the dairy farmer3
and the producers of hogs, but the small farmers, the fellows who raise grain, are the ones who will bear the full onus of the situation. Farmers generally assert that the yields of grains, such as wheat, oats and corn are far below the normal
this year, in spite of published reports of bumper crops. At present, prices the yield, in many instances, will not be sufficient to pay taxes and labor costs. Interest on investment is not to be thought of, and land values have shrunk to such an extent that figures at the courthouse are appalling. The number of farms offered for sale, forced and otherwise, is on the increase.

Lightning Fires Buildings On Knight Farm At Bethel BETHEL, Ind., Sept. 11. A large barn and several out-buildings owned by Fred Knight of Richmond were burned Sunday evening when the barn
was struck by lightning. The farm on which the burned buildings stood is located about two miles southwest of here and is tenanted by Stanley Hunt. Oats, wheat, hay and a binder were lost. Insurance partly covers the loss.
Willi am S. Hart, popular Paramount star, will be seen at the Washington theatre, next Thursday in his latest western picture, "Travelin' On." This is said to be one of the most dramatic photoplays in which Mr. Hart has been seen for some time. Ethel Grey Terry heads a strong supporting cast.
