The production of motion pictures is undergoing a great change for the better. The leading stars and directors are g.ing into business for themselves instead of working for wages paid by New York financiers who care little for the finer artistic phases of photoplay making. In "The River's End" we offer the first photoplay from the studio of Marshall Neilan, formerly one of the highest salaried directors in the world.

For his first offering Mr. Neilan has secured James Oliver Curwood's great story of the Canadian Northwest, "The River's End," considered by many the author's most popular work. Quite naturally, Marshall Neilan has spared nothing in cost or cast and production to make his first personally produced and directed effort as fine as possible. You may therefore expect a real treat in this great big story of God's Country. SUNDAY-MONDAY Added a good two reel comedy featuring "Snooky" the Humanzee in "An Overall Hero."

Aaron C. Butler Larrison not Larson Mr. L. A. Larson has called to our attention a peculiar coincidence in names and occupations that has been confusing and has caused Mr.

Larson some annoyance. A few weeks ago we chronicled the law suit of Applegate VS Larrison Brothers. A suit brought to recover for failure to thresh grain and which resulted in a verdict against the thresherman. Mr. Larson and his sons are in the threshing business and owing to the similarity of names were beNeved by many to be the defendants in the Applegate Suit.

Such is not the case. Mr. Larson is in no way connected with Larrison brothers and has nothing to do with that suit. Don't Forget the High School play Tuesday. Mrs.
