The landing of American troops in Vladivostok today to join with the British and Japanese troops in an offensive against Germany on the east, is important news, requiring but little pressure on the eastern frontier to cause Germany to collapse, and that pressure is going to be applied very soon.

AMONG THE THEATERS

Chinatown, as it was some years ago, with the big dance halls of the Barbary Coast and the motley crews from the fleets of the world anchoring in the Golden Gate, making the most of their time on shore, is shown in Mary Pickford's latest Artcraft picture, "Amarilly of Clothes Line Alley," which will be shown at the Orpheum theatre beginning tonight. The exterior scenes were filmed on the streets of San Francisco and scores of slant-eyed Mongolians added "atmosphere" to the picture.

"Amarilly of Clothes Line Alley" was adopted by Frances Marion from the novel by Belle K. Maniates, and presents "America's Sweetheart" as a product of the slums, who has some amusing and exciting experiences. Among her admirers are two favored ones—a bartender and a gilded society youth. She meets the latter when he gets knocked out in a brawl which takes place while he is on a slumming tour.

Remember tonight, Friday and Saturday at the Orpheum.

Weather—Idaho—Tonight and Friday unsettled, probably showers and cooler in south tonight.
