Judge Clayton was in California to address the California State Bar association at Riverside and San Francisco, and also the Commonwealth club in the latter city. He . spent eighteen years in congress under President McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson, and went on the bench in 1913. He was chairman of the house judiciary committee of the d congressand sixty-thir- d es. He is author of the famous Clayton Act and, as he . humorously remarked, It has been a great thing for the lawyers. It gives them lots to do because nobody can understand it. Judge Clayton did not figure that he was related to the charming star unless perhaps in a very remote way, but he was none the less delighted to meet her, a feeling which was reciprocated by Miss Clayton. Vernona Steele is leading man and leads strong supporting cast of players.

Those who see the phopicture i will discover toplay, however, that the gambling interest is by no means paramount. The story, written by Earl Mitchell, has to do with the refinement in the caldron of adversity of a youngster born in unhappy environment in order that he may become a big, strong, outstanding character in the everyday life of an average commu- - nity. Conway Tearle, star of A Wide-Ope- n Town, has always been greatly adtnired by photoplay devotees for the reason that he is rarely, if ever, seen in the idyllic roles which are so often entrusted to male screen stars. In A Townthe Wide-Ope- n charac- ter he portrays is one which will appeal to every man and woman who has learned from bitter experience that expected perfection in human nature scarcely ever materializes. It is a typical Tearle characterization in that the star stands out first and foremost as an actor and not so much because a kind Providence has given him a comely face and figure and the intelligence and training to wear his clothes well. The direction of the work picture is by Ralph Ince whoserecenthas Selznick for the company ly been attracting unusual attention. - BIG FEATURE RADIO CONCERT, MONDAY AND TUESDAY Too Much Wife Reveals Human Foibles 'v Given by Great Musicians, including' Vocalists, Instrumentalists, Bands, etc,, as Broadcasted from any of the following' cities: PORTLAND MINNEAPOLIS DETROIT OAKLAND CHICAGO LOS ANGELES ST.

The Tuesday evening Churchills wonCrisis, derful story of American life, covering a period leading up to the Civil war, will be produced. Both are features that will appeal to the lovers of the best in the realm of the movies. Besides these features there will be an added attraction each evening in the form of a radio concert. ROMAXTIC FIGURES IX THE CRISIS Winston Churchill himself has never invented a more romantic set ,pf characters than the actual personages gathered together in the flesh and blood by William NT. Selig of the photoplay production of The Crisis. Take, for example. Matt B. Snyder, who plays Colonel Carvel, and Bessie Eyton, who appears as liis daughter, Virginia. Here meet, not only widely separated generations, but also the products of w'idely diversified forms of art. Mr. Snyder, who is eighty-tw- o years old, received his stage training in a stern old classic school. Miss Eton, who is just out of her teens, is, on the other side of an almost unspanable gulf, an exclusive creation of the new art of the screen. She never set foot on the stage of the spoken word. Yet. she is as famous in her generation as Air. Snvder w'as in shis. and the two harmonize in The Crisis. The fair grounds and buildings will be in excellent shape, unusual care having been taken to preserve and improve them. The exposition buildings are now adequate to give a representative showing of the states resources, industries and schools. Appeals have been sent out to county agencies to have typical exhibits of their products in the horticultural building, and indications point to a general and hearty response. The board jof directors is w'ell organized to conduct the many details of preparing for the fair. The division of labor has been mapped out and each individual member is busy perfecting plans for his or her department. The board of directors of the Utah State Fair association, as now constituted, is composed of the following men and women: W. C. Winder, president; J. H. I. Manderfield, first N. Pierce, second Geo. S. McAllister, treasurer; Wm. D. vice-preside- vice-preside- The great, silent places of the north have been cast for a leading part in Out of the Silent North, Frank Alayos latest production, which comes to the Strand theater tonight and Saturday.
