Staged Mat. 5¢ and 15¢c—Eve. 10c and 25c|under the personal direction of that tive Paace master of screencraft, Cecil B. De- Mille. Popularly known as “Am- erica’s Sweetheart,” Miss Pickford presents a particularly fiitting char- acterization in the title role of this new Artcraft picture. Presenting a story of especial timely theme, this production, it is promised, will bring home most effectively, conditions in- volving the present great war. Monday the ever-popular William S. Hart will be seen at the Elko theater in the last of his Triangle plays entitled ‘“Wolf Lowery.” In this play Mr. Hart appears as the kindly ranchman, but one with whom it is dangerous to trifle with. Mr. Hart is now engaged in producing plays to be shown under the Art- craft banner—which, with Para- mount pictures, represents the high- est class of photoplay art. AT THE GRAND “Forbidden Paths,” a typically fine Paramount picture, co-starring Sessue Hayakawa and Vivian Mar- tin, is appearing at the Grand thea- ter tonight. This is a particularly appealing story of the devotion of -a Japanese to a young American girl, and typifies the undying devo- tion and self-sacrifice of the race. Dorothy Dalton’s new starring ve- hicle, “The Flame of the Yukon,” a Triangle play produced under the su- pervision of Thomas H. Ince, will be shown at the Grand theater Sunday, matinee and evening. On account of the unanimously favorable reports regarding this play—said by disin- terested persons to be one of the greatest of the year—the manage- ment endeavored to secure it for two days’ exhibition here, but was unable to do so because of the unusual de- mand for it. Efforts will be made to secure a repeat date later. Monday and Tuesday, the Grand theater will commence showing two acts of vaudeville in addition to a selected picture program to continue while patronage will warrant the added expense for these attractions to be exhibited Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays of each week. The vaudeviile acts are from the Western Circuit and heralded as first class, and will be shown here at un- usually low prices.

The youngsters also see Bob and his father recon- ciled. Also a comedy picture. Rex Sunday. The gun crew of the First Battery Field Artillery of the New York Na- tional Guard, assisted in the pro- duction of *“The Greatest Power,” the Metro screen play of patriotism starring Ethel Barrymore, to be seen at the Rex theater Sunday, matinee and night. Co-operating with Ed- win Carewe, the director, they fired from their three-inch guns the serv- ice charges which destroyed a vil- lage specially constructed for the purpose of the picture.

The office of Major Gen- eral Leonard Wood at Governor’s Island is duplicated in the picture, which is the most notable war-time drama the screen has yet contributed to the nation.
