TONIGHT AT THE LIBERTY
One of the greatest artistic and fin
ancial successes ever screened is the
remarkable play adapted from Robert
Louis Stevenson’s unique novel, MDr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, with John Bar
rymore, foremost dramatic actor of
the screen, in the dual role.
Never before has the screen shown,
such a remarkable piece of acting. On
the one side, Dr. Jekyll, with face of
classic beauty, grace of movement,
high ideals, brilliant, beloved by all,
“a wonderful fellow” as his friends
agreed. And on the other side, Mr.
Hyde, the incarnation of physical,
mental and spiritual deformity. Yet.
both the same man, changed from one ,
*
semblance to the other by the use of a
secret drug which the scientist Jekyll !
discovered. I
It’s a drama that amazes, horrifies,
fascinates, enthralls. Wonderfully
beautiful. Indescribably awful. Ad
jectives fail, and words refuse to con
vey the Vivid, vitally powerful pictur
ed story of this fight to the'death be
tween the good and evil of a man’s
'soul.
“Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” is feat
ured to-night at the Liberty Theatre.

A hundred thousand pounds of beef,

Blackfeet reservation, originating
from the extreme drought and severe
winters prevailing in that section for
the last three years, which caused the
failure of crops and loss of livestock . ..
throughout the northwest
When 1 visited the reservation early
in August I found a serious winter
outlook and detailed an experienced
and dependable representative with In
structions to take a hous-to-house can
vass. He found conditions'1 requiring
prompt action to preVent prospective
suffering.
“While the usual amount of sub
sistence has been purchased, in view
of conditions on the Blackfeet reserva
tion 1 immediately authorized the pur
chase of additional supplies. I also di
rected the transfer from Yakima and
other schools of a large amount of
subsistence supplies, clothing and bed*
ding. That there might be no delay in
receipt of supplies, the superintend*
ent was authorized to buy in open
market a sufficient amount to meet
immediate needs. To the extent that
funds and supplies are available, ev
ery precaution has been taken.

age the now fast vanishing ration
system but to the extent of our re
sources we will not permit suffering

are unable to provide for themselves
