AMY ELLERMAN AND FLEMING SISTERS TRIO The music lovers of Bemidji who availed themselves of the invitation to attend the joint concert by Amy Ellerman and the Fleming Sisters Trio at the Grand theatre last Mon- day evening will never forget the experience. The"affair was a brilliant one so- cially. Prominent among them mem- bers .of Bemidji society present were those whose names we have come to associate with things musical. ‘When Mr. Calvin Coxe, the master of ceremonies, announced that Miss Ellerman would sing in unison with a re-treation of her own voice on the New Edison which stood upon the platform, we were skeptical. To at- tempt to match that lovely voice with a sound produced mechanically by a Nights at 7:30and 9:00 Next Week’s News—-Today P—— thing of steel and wood! It was pre-|the world by the greatest of ‘living posterous. When the first notes of the song came to our ears we were waiting breathlessly. And we continued breathless throughout the evening. At first Miss Elerman’s voice and the voice from the mahogany cabinet be- side her came to us indistinguishably blended—the two voices so complete- ly one that no ear could detect their duality. Suddenly we realized that Miss Ellerman’s lips had ceased to move, though her voice went glori- ously on! She sang again, and again stopped. Only by watching her lips could we tell whether her voice came to us from her throat, or from the magic box at her side. It was her voice in both cases—there was no question of that from the first. No mere echo or “record” could make us doubt the evidence of our own eyes. Her voice was there, whether she sang or , was silent. Equal in tone, in clearness and in beauty, it filled the room, litesally re-created by some magic power for our bewilder- ment. After the cessation of the applause the Fleming Sisters Trio played a duet with themselves—that is the re-creation took part. The notes from the cabinet matched those of the instruments as perfectly as had been done during Miss Ellerman’s singing. Here again the music con- tinued when the artists ceased, and we heard no difference in tone. Other vocal numbers were re- created with equal fidelity. Inter- spersed among these rare musical treats were delightful selections by Miss Ellerman and the Fleming Sisters Trio always accompanied by their identical performances upon the New Edison. And each time we witnessed the miracle the wonder grew—wonder at the wizard mind that could, with a man-made instru- ment, rival nature’s production of music. The climax of the entertainment came when the room was darkened, so that we could no longer see the inventors—Thomas A. Edison. | The recital was arranged by Earle A.

Tootin’ Our Horn! Practically every theatre of prom- inence in Minneapolis and St. Paul used :a Paramount-Artcraft feature for its -headliner, during the past week, when two big conventions were being . held. The selection of Para- mopn}-A'rtcralt pictures to show del- egatés to the first American Legion gathering and the school teachers at- tending the State Educational meet- ing'is'indicative of how other exhibi- tors' than ourselves regard Para- mount-Artcraft productions, which are on the program of the Elko thea- tre. nearly every day in the year. On:last weeks programs in the big cities,, were features, comedies that haye been shown, alsé others that will soon appear, at the Elko. This is not unusual, as Bemidjf is often ahead- of larger. cities in-displaying the best pictures, and we feel justi- fled in “tootin’ our horn” over that fact, in connection with the further fact that our selectjon of pictures for the Elko and Grand theatres is the same as for the prominént theatres elsewhere. Looks as though we knew, ‘'what’s really good in pictures, doesn’t t? ""“Favorite Indoor Sport Bewitching Billie Burke is coming to the Elko for two days, tomorrow and Saturday. This dainty actress would be a de- light .in any attraction, but in the brilliant Paramount-Artcraft piec- ture, “The Misleading Widow,” adapted from the famous play, “sil- leted,” she is a joy forever. As a widow who isn’t a widow, she certainly keeps the gossips busy at their' favorite indoor sport!

For several good reasons, especial- ly Saturdays and Sundays, children should attend ‘the theatre matinees instead of night performances. Mat- inees start at 2:30 at the Grand and 3:00 at the Elko, every day. Aside from the objections parents may have to their children keeping late hours evenings there is, or will be, as ex- plained in another column, an ad- vance in evening prices om certain days. Matinee prices are also lower for adults, some days in the week, than the night prices. Pty A Entertained at Theatre A theatre party, given by Miss Ar- villa Kenfleld, was entertained at the Elko theatre last Tuesday even- ing.

DOROTHY GISH in “NUGGETT NELL” TO MAINTAIN STANDARD To Get Attractions ‘of Merit Every Theatre Must Ad- vance Prices By increasing the scale of admis- sion prices to motion picture thea- tres, and by that means only, ¢an the industry fully attain that. parfection toward which it is advancing with steps so rapid as to amaze the indus- trial world. Film rentals have advanced since last season, in some cases over 200 per cent, on the high class produc- tions shown in the Elko and Grand. Our every expense has also been nearly doubled. The people of Be- midji, we think, would rather be sure they could always see PICTURES WORTH WHILE, even at a slight ad- vance in admission. To keep up the high standard of pictures shown in the Grand and Elko, on certain pic- tures there will be a slight advance in admissfon prices. Our advertise- ments will show what the new prices are, when we must charge more to offset additional expense. Note price change Friday, Saturday and Sun- day in Elko advertisement this week. 0- Many Novelties Bryant Washburn’s new Para- mount-Artcraft picture, “A Very Good Young Man,” which was direct- ed by Donald Crisp, contains many novelties, both in setting and plot. It plays at the Elko next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, with the fam- ous, ‘‘Salome vs. Shenanaoah,” the new Mack Sennett comedy. T We have Mack Sennett’s word for it—that ‘“Salome vs. Shenandoah” fs a better comedy than “Uncle Tom, Without The Cabin.” You can tell what Mack Sennett knows about it if you attend the Elko next Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. ORIy SN SNy “The Miracle Man” is coming. It pleased St. Paul and Minneapolis .theatre patrons so much the film was 'held over for extended runs. It will ‘be shown four days in Bemidji— dates announced later. _ TELEPHONE 262-W FOR INFOR- MATION REGARDING SHOWS.
