NOT FOR SOPHISTS
Because "Sorrell and Son,"
flowing at the Elsinore. is some'
tfiiag really "fine." it Is "preciee
4y..ihe' kind of film which- would
be sneered at by those quaint
asses-' who- write for that class of
eastern publications which deem
themselves quite smart."
Let this department announce
.that ft ?eela it , well worth while
to quote that which was written
by a precocious theatergoer who
prints a publication for the exhib
itors benefit and who, politely,
declines any advertising which
may be sent Jhim. His Is a publi
cation for the man who owns a
theater and the owner pays well
for the critic's opinions. If he
thinks a film is hopeless, he says
so and he is seldom wrong.
The story, perhaps, is nothing
extraordinary. It tells, uncom
monly well, of a father's love for
his son. It is that on which the
theme is baeed.
Harry Warner, the unbiased re-
1 viewer insists, is the outstanding
feature. The atmosphere of the
picture (to quote some more) is
one of its greatest charms.
-George B. Guthrie, owner of the
Elsinore, has without qualifies
tion called- "Sorrell and Son"
the finest picture he has witness
ed this season. It will remain at
the Elsinore, that all'may se it.
for five days.
COURT DECLINES GIVE
REASON FOR REVERSAL
Continued mm pare 1.)
C. Siegmund announces that the
county court's action will stand
explaining that he "expected to be
f-ritlcized, because they won't un
derstand It as first." and adding
for the sake of clarity that the li
brary will not cost the taxpayers
cent, and that it la primarily for
;j .courtroom use rather than for re-
t:wearch work. Meanwhile tne cam
fiij'paign continues.

was clearly due to the action of

because there was surveillance of

As each of the four men found
guilty of the court was called up
for sentence he was asked by thf
Justice whether he nad anything
to say for himself. W. Sherman

The court said he was Imposing
a lenient fine on yoang Burns be
cause he had aided the district at
torney in investigating the
shadowing of the Fall-Sinclair
Jury.
Justice Siddons told Day who
hired the Burns men for Sinclair
that he had "showed loyalty to a
friend (Sinclair) greater than
loyalty to the land." But that
he had violated the law. That
loyalty he added, made a stern
duty unpleasant but In sentencing
htm he was taking It into consid
eration with a degree of admira
tion.
After the last sentence, that of
Sinclair, had been pronuonced.
counsel for the defense filed no
tice of appeal. Justice Siddons
fixed Sinclair's bond at $5,000.
Day's at $3,000 and that of each
of the Burns at $1,000.
From the courtroom the four,
with their attorneys went to the
office of the clerk where the
bonds were prepared and signed.
The respondents were released on
personal recognizance tonight
with an assurance that the bonds
would be furnished by a bonding
company In the morning. -'
None of the men sentenced ex

discuss the case. 1 .,'.
That thewould be round guilty
