AT THE GRAND TONIGHT
The Return of the Twins’ Double,
three part feature of the 101 ,
Bison brand, with Grace Cunard
and Francis Ford in the leading
roles, will be the attraction at the
Grand tonight. Miss Cunard will
be remembered as the leading char
acter in Lucille Love. In this photo
play she takes three distinct parts,
first the sweet tempered girl of in
nocense and beauty, the twin sister,
high tempered and a dope fiend, then
the Lady Raffles, a most clever
crook. One can scarcely realize that
Miss Cunard is playing the part
of the three girls, each one is so
different. Francis Ford gets in
some clever detective work which
makes this an unusually strong
play.
Wednesday night The World’s
Film Company presents a four part
feature entitled, In The Name of
the Prince of Peace. War is de
clared between Germany and France,
the foundation for the story. Adv.

ANOTHER MYSTERY
OFTHESEAUNSOLVED
WRECKAGE OF BROKEN BOAT
PICKED BY CREW OF PAS
SING FISHING SCHOONER
Captain Selig of the fishing
schooner Alameda and diver Stagger
arrived in town last night and this
morning report the finding of
wreckage, evidently that of some
fishing schooner, at Cape Decision.
The Alameda was icturningf from
'Spanish Islands when they discover
ed the wreckage strewn along ths
beach such as life bouys, clothing,
dory boats, vegetables and many
portions of the body of the boat.
It is the opinion of Captain Sel
ig that the boat was recently wreck
ed as the vegetables and other parts
of the wreckage found seemed to
have been exposed to the salt water
but a short time.
The depth of the snow on the
beach prevented them from making
a thorough investigation. Among
the most important things found
was a board on which was painted
“W 2439”, which is evidently the
seining license number issued the
illfated boat in the tate of Wash
ington.
