SUMMER VISITOR DIES William McConnell of Grand ‘| Forks died Wednesday morning at THEATERS‘ REX TOMORROW “When False Tongues Speak,” a William Fox production in which Virginia Pearson plays the stellar role, is the featured attraction at the Rex theater tomorrow. It is a mystery story built around the problems and trials of a noble woman, played by Miss Pearson, who finds her husband, a worthless scamp is paying attentions to another wo- man. To escape her domestic un- happiness she takes up settlement work. There she meets a young re- porter. In the excitement following the husband’s efforts to have his wife divorce him and then to divorce her on false testimony, he.is killed. The. wife, the husband’s lover, his law- yer, the reporter and a burglar are all in or near the house when the crime is committed. “INTOLERANCE” PACKS REX Rex theater was filled to capacity last night by an appreciative audi- ence to witness the showing of “In- tolerance,” the gigantic spectacle in film form, produced by D. W. Grif- fith, who produced ‘“The Birth of a Nation.” The picture is all that is claimed for it and more so. It is a stupen- dous spectacle in thirteen reels and held the big audience in a grip fro: the opening to its close. / The picture deals with modern and ancient history, shpwing the parallel and the result of intoler- ance, which caused the fall of Baby- lon, the massacre of St. Bartholemew | in France, and the causes of disturb- ances in the modern day. It takes one to the time of the Pharisee and Christ. It shows the work of the “professional meddle” and the re- surt. Its hugeness is scarcely recog- nized and its settings are wonder- ful. The scenes of Babylon in all riot of gorgeousness and sordidness is shown. Pen cannot begin to de- his home’in that city.
