or "HIS GREAT TRIUMPH."
SHERRY'S
Sherry's Has Feature.
'Notorious Gallagher" is the pic
turesque title of an equally pictur
esque nve-part Metro wonderplay,
which will be seen Ihore at the Sherry
theatre tomorrow only with Mar
truerite Snow, the beautiful and versa
tile dramatic artiste, and William
Nigh, one of the foremost actor-directors
in the country in the stellar
roles. This sensational feature was
produced under ttho direction fo Mr.
Nigh for Metro by the Columbia Pic
tures Corporation. MisB Snow and
Mr. Nigh have as trong supporting
cast.
Mir. Cowles, who is seen in a strong
character part, is one of the leading
comedy and character actors in the
silent drama. He made a decided im
pression in "Emmy of Stork's Nest"
in the comedy lead, and has been seen
in many otiher Metro wonderplays.
Mr. Cowles began his professional
career soon after ho was graduated
from Yale where he directed the
'varsity show for two seasons.
Victor Do I.inskv was first seen on
the Metro program in "The Kiss of
IlntA " in which Ph..1 nmw.nHn i-
starred. He was formerly a lieuten- wi,n cadets today at Blue opening of

Pickle Prospects Poor
Chicago, July 14. If Peter Piper
gets over in the cucumber patch and
picks a peck of pickles while picking
pickled peppers these duys he'll have
to pay a fancy price for them.
The National Pickle Packer's asso
ciation met here today and announced
to the world at large and lovesick
swains and lassies in particular, that
there is a dearth of pickles hi the
land. As a result, the packers are a
trifle soured on the universe. They
advocate the conversation of every
single wart. Their cry is "Save the
Dill; and let the vinger drip where it
may."
The pickle men' are here to figure
out a way to save the day and provide
for the shortage of stock. Bad pickle
weather for the last two years is
blamed for the short crops. Every
gardener who values the esteem of
these pickle men will grow great
quantities of cucumbers from now on.
The situation is being watched with
exceeding great interest by co-eds at
tho university of Chicago, where the
consumption of pickles and ice cream
is suid to exceed that of all other col
leges. For the sake of the Great
American Picnic, for the peace of
mind of the Great American Co-ET
and for the assured promulgation of
that hyphenated institution, the Great
Gentian-American Dutch Lunch, let
nothing hold up pickle growing.

Modern Adam May Kind Six Kvra.
New York, July 15. Six modern
Kves of unknown identity are de
termined to accompany the modern
Adam, Joe Knowles, when he leaves
his palatial apartment here today to
plunge, nude, into tho woods of the
Adirondack hills on another of his
famous back to nature jumbourecs.
Knowles lives this way a month a
year. When lie goesnu the only thing
wr.:pt about him is Iris expression.
When -he comes out he is well fed on
fruits, nuts and herbs and clad in a
deerskin suit. Knowles didnt want
the women with him so he chose one
of them, Mrs. Emily Davis, v.1hose
husband was killed in the fighting in
Northern Franco recently and who is
an experienced wootlswoinan,-to take
charge of the six Eves after he has
chosen a camu for tlhem and left pre
liminary instructions in the art of
finding edible roots and how to make
snares, traps and fish nets of grasses
and fibre. This corsetless, unhuir
pinned and non-mirrored sextette of
Eves will live for a month in the se
cret camp in the Adirondacks, then
Knowles will go back to get tihem.
To Double Size of San Francisco.
San Francisco, July 15. A plan to
more than double the area of San
Francisco is to 'be considered by a
municipal committee here today and
reported on not later than August 1.
It, is an annexation project similar to
the .borough system in New York
City. From San Francisco southward
along what is known as the peninsula
extends an almost uninterrupted line
of small municipalities including
Redwood City, San Mateo, Burlin
gnme, Daly City, Menlo Park, South
Sua Francisco and Snn Bruno. Thfe
plan,-is to bring them into the city by
incorporating San Francisco and San
Mateo counties. Representative com
mittees have been apointed to draft a
bill for presentation to the legislnure,
authorizing the incorporation. This
committee includes officials of the
cities and towns involved. Better
water and transportation are among
the inducements offered.
