Rupert Julian, producer and actor of one of the principal roles; Ruth bury, leading man, will constitute a trinjty of cleverness that is sure to bring delight to devotees of the day, matinee and evening, when “The Desire of the Moth” will be presented in Bluebird photoplays. These are players who scored such a hit when playing in “The Savage,” at the Grand New Year's day. ELKO THEATER They met head-on'in @ turn on a lonely country road and both cars stopped with a splintering of glass, in the Triangle play, “Betty Takes a Hand,” starring Olive Thomas at the Elko theater tonight and Saturday, matinee and night. duction to James Bartlett, multi-mil- lionaire politician, and the man who had once been her father’s partner in a mining venture. Now Betty’s father was poor, while Bartlett was rolling in wealth. Peter Marshall had vowed to his daughter that Jim Bartlett .had swindled him. Betty’'s Tesourcefulness won the heart of the old millionaire and he ended by of- fering her $50,000 to marry his son, Tom, who had but recently run away from home. Betty Marshall knew more about Tom than did his father, and the big surprise of this Triangle comedy usual obstables. Incidentally, this story was pic- turized by Jack Cunningham, a for- mer Bemidji resident. the intricasies of the divorce law are realistically told in “The Co-Re- spondent,” the fascinating drama of society and newspaper life which will be shown at the Rex theater for the last time tonight, with beauti- ful Elaine Hammerstein as its bril- liant young star, and Ralph W. Ince as the director. Tom Mix, whose life was for sev- eral years spent in the wild and wooly west, will also be seen in feats of riding and rope throwing, his feats being interwoven with a little story in two reels. West has no claims as an actor but he is most in- teresting in his chosen work, and his feats are thrilling in the ex- treme. Rex Tomorrow, No one qhould miss the brilliant William Fox photoplay, ‘‘For Lib- erty,” which will be at the Rex thea- ter tomorrow. This play is quite the greatest of its kind that has ever been present- ed on the screen. It is a wonderful story of a woman’s love, set in the midst of war, the scenes taking place in Berlin at the time America de- clared war. In this maelstorm, a young American woman is caught, but the affairs of her heart are not overcome, even by the strife. Miss Gladys Brockwell does bril- liant work in this drama, as the leading figure, and nothing that she has done hefore can compare with it. It gives an idea of the terrific conditions that attend war which no other picture has done. As a clear cut, thrilling photoplay, it is of the very highest order, and it has a love interest in it that holds one through out. A good comedy will also be shown for the children. M. B. A.
