"Cat and the Canary, a drama in three acts by John Willard, will be presented by Kflbourn Gordon, Inc., at the Columbia theater, tonight. This is the play which has been described as "the most exciting play ever written, and although it has many thrills, the appeal of the piece as entertainment, would seem to be found in the fact that it has in addition to that thrill which every human loves, an abundance of good, natural appealing comedy. Cat and the Canary went into New York a stranger, produced by a new firm, and it immediately gained recognition as one of the emphatic successes of the generation. It remained in the glare of the white lights for more than a year, then was taken to Philadelphia. Tarrying there for a substantial run the play returned to establish a new record by, making a second hit on Broadway. This re turn engagement lasted some three months. The company which Messrs. Gordon will send here is a composbest playite cast, selected from the four comthe ers who appeared in season. the In on last tour paniesare manv whose names cast players are known, and also some younger whom it will he Keneration workers To miss 9at meet. to delightful will he overlooking and the Canary one of the seasons best attractions. WERLMMT (Da , Gficient Vuhlic Service red-blood- 01 ed Under the system of federal cooperation the reclamation of Americas arid lands proceeds today with increased speed and confidence. Before 1860 the number of farms under irrigation in the United States was 696, comprising 469,000 acres; in 1910 the acreage had increased to 14,433,285, while by 1920 the government census shows 1,916,391 farms under irrigation, with an irrigated acreage of 19,191,716 and an area subject to irrigation under projected systems in excess of 36,000,-00- 0 acres. The present gross area under irrigation in the United States, all of which is the result of not more than 70 years activity, represents one-fift- h of the aggregate lands now being irrigated on the earths sur-I- n addition we have face. the gr0at projects in view, including con(,oIumbia rlvpr project, which templates the reclamation of 4,500, 000 acres of arid rand and the Colo ratio basin, with 7,000,000 acres. Who remembers the merchant who No trouble to show advertised, goods ? er Although practically a motion pictures, Ralph Cloninger, who plays an important role in Reginald Barkers production, Hearts Aflame, at the Strand theater, now stands out as one of the most promising artists of the screen. Seen as a young farmer who becomes mentally unbalanced through a succession of domestic tragedies, Mr. Cloninger gives a performance that will long be remembered by the spectators of the picture. The mere fact of his being chosen for the cast of Hearts Aflame was a tribute to the actors ability, as extreme care was exercised in the selection of the players for this Metro picture, which was produced for Wank Keenan, Louis B. Mayer. Anna Q. Nilsson, Richard Headrick, Russell Simpson and Richard Tucker are among the celebrities who play he other parts. Hearts Aflame is based on Harold Titus novel, Timber, and will he shown at the Sfand Monday and Tuesday. TRY A ROST WANT-Anew-com- er GqHVYN ? In & b s V 1 . 1? il' 5 1 - ' I ij . D. i;i ( ,?
