Fairbanks Thursday. Douglas Fairbanks, who is almost every sort of an athlete, finds new chances for acrobatics in ‘““The Good Bad Man,” the fourth of his Triangle photoplays. He went to the desert with Director Allan Dwan and sev- eral scores of real Western cowboys, a virtual tenderfoot. He came back ten days later having not only learn- ed every trick of horsemanship ‘the cowboys could show him but having used most of them in the picture. ELKO TONIGHT - The old and very wise proverb about Satan, and his habits of find- ing mischief for idle hands to do, is the basis for Madame Petrova’s most recent Paramount picture, “Exile,” in which she will appear at the Elko theater tonight and tomorrow. The production was especially arranged for her by Charles E. Whittaker from the book of Dolf Wyliards. Dealing with a little band of expatriated Am- ericans in an Asiatic colony, and in- cluding its thrilling and very dram- atic love theme, an up-to-date rom- ance of politics and remance. PICTURE MAKES HIT The big audience was highly pleased last evening at the Rex when Norma Talmadge appeared in “The Secret of the Storm Country.” She will be shown again in this big Se- lect Corporations feature this eve- ning. Miss Talmadge, one of the greatest emotional actresses of the screen, portrays a role in which mo- ther love is the supreme issue. With her depths of' feeling, her extraor- dinary mobility and the ease with which she can step from pathos to fun, she makes of Tessibel, the squat- ter’s girl, one of the most compelling figures in fiction. Tessibel, known to the country- side as Tess, is the daughter of Orn Skinner and the idol of the despised squatter village, known as Squatter- town, on the stormy shores of Lake Cayuga. Tess, whose father is serv- ing a life sentence in the peniten- tiary, has lost her heart to Frederick Graves, a divinity student whose mother has high hopes for him of a wealthy marriage. Frederick, equally in love with Tess and fear- ing to brave his mother’s displeasure, has persuaded her to consent to a secret marriage. “The Conqueror.” The millions of admirers of stal- wart William Farnum, the famous Fox film star, may look forward with keen anticipation to ‘“The Con- queror,” a massive and thrilling William Fox photodramatic romance based on the life of one of America’s frontier heroes, General Sam Hous- ton of Texas. which will be seen at the Rex theater tomorrow and Fri- day. The first announcement of this big production carries with it the facts that it was d.rected by R. A. Walsh, producer of “The Honor System’ and other Fox pictures of extraordinary merit, and that in the course of its production, “The Congueror” made use of several thousand Indians, Mex- icans and live stock; that the battle scenes, in which a hundred cannon were used, are tremendous; that the love story is one of infinite charm and that the dramatic action builds to a climax calculated to make every spectator gasp for breath. With these advance facts, one may indeed be prepared for a film sensa- tion when the talented William Far- um steps into the screen in the role of the celebrated Texan hero. In the picture Sam Houston is first shown as a diamond in the rough, living among.the Cherokee Indians and in- different to the call of his white brethren. But when he meets the Tennessee Rose, played by the lovely Jewel Carmen, Houston undergoes a complete reversal of form. “GYM” CLASS PROGRESSING At the meeting of the Young Wo- man’s Gymnasium class last evening in the basement of the Presbyterian church, the by-laws were read and adopted.

A BEMIDJI MAN'S EXPERIENCE Can you doubt the evidence of this Bemidji citizen? You can verify Bemidji endorse- ment. Read this: H. A. Lepper, prop. wood yard, 1410 Minnesota Ave. says: “Two years ago I was logging in the woods and being exposed to so much cold and rainy weather caused my kid- neys to become disordered. It brought on attacks of backache, which always bothered me worse af- ter sitting down awhile. When I went to get up shooting pains would grip me right across the center of the back and even down into my limbs. I had a tired feeling all the time and my kidneys didn’t act regularly. I read such good accounts of Doan’s Kidney Pills I tried them, and they were not long in ridding me of the trouble entirely.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Lepper had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N.

TONICHT “Peat Cotton.” A material known as “peat cotton” i elther made into cushions on which to rest injured limbs, or as filling for bandages. One difficulty about using peat cotton is that it must be kept moist, When dry it crumbles into dust and becomes useless. A trace of tar in the make-up renders peat cotton & valuable disinfectant. Mad Artists. Quite' a number of eminent artiste have been victims of brain disorder, Sir Edwin . Landseer, towards 'the close of his life, showed signs of im sanity, while the eccentricities of Tur- ner were quite of the insane order. Amongst other eminent artists it might be mentioned thar Sir Thomas Lawrence suffered from a symptom of brain disorder; David Wilkie lost power of attention, and ultimately had a nervous seizure which made his speech incoherent; while Romnuey suf- fered so much from the hallucination that his talent would desert him' that rt the height of his fame he -thought of relinquishing his art altogether, Screening Rear Garden With Trellls, If your rear garden is too much in evidence and chickens and laundry are not very decorative, a pretty white gate, or even a plain high white trellls reaching from the side of the house to the side fence, will shut off everything objectionable.
