Mr. Eltinge:is appesring tonight and tomorrow in his first photoplay, “The Countess Charming”, at the Elko theatre: This is the climax of a metoric career during the course of which Mr. Eltinge. has: appéared in ‘most of the large cities of this coun- try: and.- attained a-.famg-seldom equalled in the theatrical -world. i Few.i# any stars of stage.or screen can ~boast the popularity of Julian Eltinge foremost impersonator of feminine roles and the fact-that he is so well known is especially.remark- able because he has never.appeared in any except the largest . cities. There have been many alluring offers from managers in the smaller towns and--thousa! »of - people. .have been disappointed dn not seeing him. But now that-Julian Eltinge has;at last consented to appear Jbefore the mo- tion picture camera, he, will travel to the .smallest. and._most..remote vil- lages of:the country as. well as:to the large metropoli. 3 GRAND TONIGHT. This offering presents an absorb- ing .socialogical problem, pictured in story form. It tells of a young mag- istrate, named John Fairbrother, who believed in equal punishment for men and women when the social laws are broken. His attempts to deal out exact justice for all con- cerned brings the trail of scandal into his own home. His wife’s broth- er and the latter’s son are caught in the legal meshes set by. the judge. This brings up & grimly humorous situation at the close. This production has none of the usual offensive situations .common to this sort of story. It is given a light touch in certain moments where thearicalism is usually allowed to hold full sway. The theme is on old one, but of perennial significance, and the interest is not allowed to fidg At any point visited | “THE HONEYMOON.” “The Honeymoon” a ' delightful swift comedy of material mishaps starring Constance Talmadge will be shown at the Rex Theatre tonight for the last time. Misunderstandings arise when Dick Greer, on his honey- moon with: Susan, high-strung jeal- ‘ous and lovable withal, sets out to buy off Maise Middleton of the Jig- field Frolics who has attached herself to Phil Lane, Susan’s brother, She sees him in the actress’ dressing room and, since-Phil has -kept-his af-. fair secret from his sister,she suspécts Dick, flies intq a tantrum, moves into a sepnrate room at the: hotel, refuses to listen to explanations, and wires her Uncle Jimmy to institute dlvorce proceedings: He recelves from Dick a true bxd planation of the mixup and leaves for Niagara, with the rest of the family, to patch up the difficulty. After he leaves, however, Susan’s depositions \arrive, and an over-zealous partner secures a record-breaking divorce. Uncle Jimmy finds the newlyweds, now . reconciled, distraught over the news;of the decree. Hé is at a loss to advise them, when Dick finds a minister and is remarried to Susan. Amid smiling: blessings,: she ‘swears off suspicion. and he yvows’that: this time he will pay undivided attention to the honeymoon. Also a good comedy as an added feature. iyl ““THE HONOR SYSTEM”. “The FHofor USybtem”, William Fox’s intensely human _ melodrama which .will open a.two. days run. at the Rex tomorrow while in its grip- ping; drama, to the production of which the state.of Arizona lent. its entire resources and ,which viv|dly portrays conditions along ‘the Mexi- can border, has been justly described as “the greate&t human story ever Its humaneness lies not only in its faithful depiction of the struggle be- tween virtue and the unseen powers of graft, but in the flashes of rare liumor, that light thé picture like flashes of sunlight. Many of these touches are Insnlrn- tions on the part of R. A, Walsh, of the Fox Film ‘Corporation, whose masterly work in directing' ‘“The Honor System’’ stamps him as one of the foremost directors of the cinema world. Among the most novel things he did was the use of animal actors to supply the part of the humor. There are rabbits, dogs, geese, rats, horses and other members of the animal world in the cast of ‘‘The Honor System”. Any motion picture director will tell you that no actor not even the most tempermental of the tribe, is quite so hard to:manage before the camera as an animal actor.
