Margery lson, who appeared in “The Mother Instinct” Triangle plays, makes her debut as a star in “Mountain Dew,” a tale of the Kentucky mountains during the moonshiners’ reign, which will be shown at the Grand theater tomor- row—=Sunday. ELKO T “Fatty” Arbuc?(?mfin“A Country Hero.” In the first place there is “Fatty’s” encounter with a refrac- tory automobile which exhibits all the obstinate tendencies of a balky mule as specified by the scenario. It runs up to “Fatty’s” garage, known “The Spark Plug Garage.” Fi- nally, for some unexplained reason of its own, the machine starts with an explosion that could be heard from Long Beach to Los Angeles. Most of the scenes in the Triangle play, “For Valour” at the Elko to- night, were taken in Canada. It is a difficult task these war-days to get permission to take motion pic- tures on Canadian soil, but Mr. Par- ker, the director, obtained the much- desired permit. Elko Sunday. Alice Brady in the new World- Picture Brady-Made, ‘“The Maid of Belgium,” will be the attraction on Sunday at the Elko theater. As the title indicates the picture has to do with the story of a Belgian maid— a refugee who is brought to America by a kindly, wealthy couple. The girl is half crazed by the terrors she has gone through. AT REX TONIGHT Don't miss seeing George Walsh in William Fox’s comedy-drama, “This Is the Life.” The picture will be shown tonight at the Rex thea- ter. George has a rip-roaring play in which the action centers around a troupe of revolutionists to which George becomes attached under the impression that it is in South Am- erica to make motion pictures. George takes an active part in the revolution still believing a motion picture is being taken. He wakes up in jail with the sentence “to be shot at daybreak” hanging over his head. Richard Carle, who made ‘‘The Spring Chicken” famous, will also be seen in a roaring comedy. Sunday’s Big Proeram. “Life's Whirlpool,” the Metro wonderplay starring Ethel Barry- more, which will be presented at the Rex theater tomorrow, is an ‘‘all- Barrymore'” production. It was written and directed by one member of the family, Lionel Barrymore, its star being his sister, and its exterior scenes were photographed at the home of the star. “Life’s Whirlpool is filled with opportunities for splendid human emotion. The life of Esther Carey (Ethel Barrymore) is one of those strangely selected by fate to be fill- ed with storms and dangers. But at last the fury of the storm breaks and passes, and a rainbow of hap- piness gives promise of peaceful days to come. This offering gives the star chances for dramatic expression such as she has never before had in motion pictures. Charlie Chaplin will also be at the Rex again, this time in another of his funniest screams “In the Park.” Watch for These. Coming to the Rex Monday will be Bryant Washburn in ‘“The Golden Idiot.” On Tuesday will be seen Norma Talmadge in “The Secret of the Storm Country.” CHURCHES Sunday Sc‘;x%eg%hl%n:aslo o'clock a. m.
