TheSua FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1925 Is Now The Closing the contest for a new name for the Eko theater, it was found that about a hundred titles had been suggested. Making a list of these the manager took a few friends into consultation and sifted down to five. These included, besides the one chosen, Capitol," Classic" and Victory, "Orpheum." The choice was made by eliminating the others. "Capitol" was rejected as not applicable to a showhouse in Price. "Classic" was a little too indefinite. "Victory" jolts somewhat with its reminiscence of wartime exaltation. And "Orpheum" is associated SUNDAY AND MONDAY, MARCH 29 and 30 The LYRIC offers too intimately with a particu lar vaudeville circuit. "Lyric" seems to comprehend in itself all the desired points.

The accepted name was turned in by Thelma Fausett, who, by virtue of being first to act, wins first prise of ten dollars. Second award is made to C. R. Atwood, who, while making the same selection, was later in sending in his choice, and will be given one months free admission. Third prise, also a months admission, goes to B. F. Johnson of Wellington, who was first to arrive with "Classic," the last title to be eliminated in making the choice. Along with a new name the "Lyric" offers to its patrons a remodeled lobby and auditorium, which puts it in a class along with the best. New arrangements on the seating floor make for comfortable sitting and the placing of all new seats of a decomfortable remarkably box-cushion- ed sign, will prove the most noticeable change of alL A new set of stage fittings has also been put in.

And a little town in the Golden West once more resumes its quiet tranquility. But all is not serene with everyone there. The cause of the unwonted disturbance is sitting in a deserted stable nursing a bullet in his wrist and a troubled mind. He moves and disturbs a girl sleeping under the straw. They become acquainted and he learns that she is trying to help her mother ran the O. D. ranch by working as a dancer in the saloon and has been framed the same as he. She helps him to get his horse, which is under the sheriffs surveillance and they go back to the ranch together. She introduces him as Mr. Jim to her mother and he agrees to help ran the ranch.

The plot is unique and the treatment different from the usual run of picture stories. It has many new and strange angles that will be sure to appeal to the average picture audience. A drama, yet without a villain. The conflict, imperative in all dramas, is provided by a mental aberration on the part of Wriford, a character being played by Percy Marmont. It is that of a successful newspaper editor who, through overwork, finally comes to believe there is another Wriford always driving him to accomplish just one more task. The character is distinctly out of the ordinary in the fact that it entails more than half of the acting in the entire picture. Regardless of the fact that there is an abnormally large number of players required, comedy.
