splendid conclusion to a week of ex
ceptionally classy feature productions.
Synopsis of Tommorrw’s Pioture.
Following is a synopsis of the picture
at the Strand tomorrow, “Ready Mon
ey," for which everybody struggles:
Stephen Baird, a mining engineer
and popular man about town, goes to
Beek his fortune.
Arriving at Gallup, a mining town,
he becomes acquainted with Mike
Reardon, a big, good-natured prospec
tor. Mike, taking a liking to Steve,
and seeing in him a good, square part
ner. arranges to go with him and to
gether they set out in quest of gold.
While making camp, the first night
out, they come across the abandoned
workings of the Skyrocket mines.
Steve decides to explore it. Finding a
piece of rock, which he believes con
tains gold, he persuades Mike to look
it over, and although Mike is certain
that it is worthless, he goes about his
work In a business-like manner and
comes to the conclusion that the tun
nels have been driven In the wrong
direction.
On th*e strength of their conviction,
Steve goes to the owner of the proper
ty and purchases it for thirty thousand
dollars, of which he pays one-third
down and he Immediately leaves for
New York to secure the remaining
twenty thousand dollars to complete
the purchase.
James Morgan, a mim'ng operator of
doubtful character, who owns mines
adjoining the Skyrocket, discovers,
through the development of hls own
property, that a vein of ore In his mine
extends on through the claim controll
ed by Steve, and then learns that Steve
that Steve Is the owner of the Sky
rocket property.
In New York, Steve has made the
acquaintance of Jackson Ives, with
plenty of money, who agrees to pur
chase fifty thousand dollars worth of
stock In Steve’s mine Since his ar
rival In New York, things have been
been going very bad with Steve, and
have reached the crisis where he is
compelled to accept the hospitality of
a friend and give up hls own rooms.
New Year's Eve comes and finds
Steve downhearted and • melancholy,
but Jackson Ives fulfills his promise
and gives Steve fifty thousand dollars
for an interest in the property.
Norene St. Clair and E. E. Pollock, in "The
Pipp,” at the Bijou Monday and Tuesday
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29*
Steve’s friends, including Grace Ty
ler, come to the apartments to try and
persuade him to Join them at a party
and, seeing Steve with fifty thousand
dollars in bills lying on the desk, they
immediately assume that he struck
gold, and implore him to accept their
checks in payment for stocks In his
company, which they had heretofore
refused to purchase.
Jackson Ives, for a number of years,
has been s uspeeted by the government
as a counterfeiter, but the detectives
had never been able to catch him “with
the goods.” On this particular night
they had trailed him from the hotel to
Steve’s apartments and break In on
them just as Ives gives the huge bun
dle of bills to Steve. By using a little
strategy, Steve is enabled to slip the
money into an envelope, addresses it
to Grace Tyler, his sweetheart, and
slips it into a mail pouch.
After a thorough search of the room,
finding nothing, the detectives depart
and Steve and Ives join the New Year's
party in a nearby restaurant.
Meanwhile Mike Reardon, with in
creased force, is working night and
day to discover gold. Morgan learns
this and fearing that Reardon will un
cover the vein of ore which he knows
to be there, causes an explosion in the
Skyrocket mine .which, instead of act
ing as an Injury, uncovers the huge
vein of gold. The report scatters and
wealth pours in on Steve and Mike
and their partners.
Jackson Ives, instead of being •
counterfeiter, is proven a man of un
limited wealth and, despite the activi
ties of the secret service officers, he
proves his honesty and becoming a
partner of Steve's remains ever at his
side, even when Steve takes Grace Ty
ler in his arms and asks her the all
important question, to which she smil
ingly answers "yes, dear.”
CLEAR MYSTERY,
MINE SOWING
London.—'The British admiralty, it
is believed, has solved the mystery
of the sowing of mines off the North
coast of Ireland. British ships have
arrested two trawlers, one a Norwe
gian and the other Spanish, which
made their headquarters at Fleet
wood, on the English coast of the
Irish Sea, on a charge of having laid
the mines which proved so disastrous
to British and neutral shipping. It
has been suspected that the mines
were laid by vessels flying neutral
flags, but it was hardly thought they
were making a British port their
headquarters.
P. 0. AND TRADE
APPROPRIATIONS
Washington—Secretary Redfield and
Postmaster General Burleson appeared
before the house appropriations com
mittee today and explained in detail
the estimates contained in their annual
reports.
Secretary Redfield told the commit
tee that the commercial expansion of
the United States, evidenced by a $63,-
000,000 increase in November exports
over last year, be still further en
couraged by establishment of a South
American trade field, and banking con
nections there.
Postmaster General Burleson pointed
out that his estimates were below this
year’s appropriations. He had saved
$62,000 by concentration of work and
reorganization of the personnel of the
dead letter and other officers.
THE ALASKAN RAILWAY.
Washington.—Plans for the govern
ment railroad to the Alaskan coal
fields will be formulated soon by tha
by Secretary Lane.
Commissioner Edward E Edes estab
lished headquarters for the commis
sion here Saturday and said detailed
work on a report would be begun early
In December. Commissioners Edes,
Mears and Riggs have just completed
field surveys.
