THEATERS AT THE ELK Dainty vi's'ian Martin (v)zho recent- ly scored such pronounced successes in “Giving Becky a Chance” and ““The Spirit of Romance,” and who will be seen at the Elko tonight in the Pallas-Paramount production “A Kiss for Susie,” has established for herself a unique position in the firmament of photodramatic stars. The disillusionment of a romantic girl who comes face to face with the realities of an unromantic world is the basis of the story of “The Fool- ish Virgin,” the Thomas Dixon novel which has been screened for Miss Clara Kimball Young’s second Selz- nick-Picture and which will be fhe attraction at the Elko theater on Fr:idazy and Saturday, November 2 and 3. THE G AT RAND Bessie Love, an eighteen-year-old girl weighing just one hundred pounds, has in a little over a year developed from a naive little pupil of the' class room into one of the most popular of the Triangle stars. She will appear at the Grand theater tonight in Triangle drama “The Lit- tle Reformer.” “INTOLERANCE” TONIGHT The gigantic film spectacle “Intol- erance,” in thirteen reels, arrived in Bemidji today and its first eve- ning showing will be tonight at the Rex. A special operator came with the picture and a special musical score will accompany the scenes. Only one showing can be made in the evening owing to the length of th‘e picture. The start of the run will be made at 8:15 o’clock. Re- served seats may be obtained at Bar- ker’s and evening prices are 25, 50, 75 cents and $1. The entire production has one theme in four stories, paralleling side by side. They are, ““A Golden Thread Binds the Four Stories,” “A Fairy Girl With Sun Lit Hair,” “Her Hand on the Cradle of Humanity,” “Eternally Rocking.” The rocking cradles marks the change from one story to another. There is the story of modern times, of the Judean story and the Nazar- ene, of the medieval French story, jof the Babylonian story. The story form of the play is as follows: Scene One—The Modern Story. Scene Two—1Jerusalem, 27 A. D. Scene Three—France, in the times of Catherine de Medici, 1672 A. D. Scene Four—Again to the Mod- ern Story. Scene Five—To Babylon, 539 B. C. Scene Six—Again the Modern Story. This is the greatest picture ever produced and was secured by the Rex management at a big price. RETURNS TO BEMIDJI Ed. N.
