P — ; NEWS OF THE THEATERS ELKO TONIGHT. “The Virtuous Thief,” Enid Ben- neit's Paramount-Ince picture, was presented with great success at the Elko theatre last evening. This is a delightful bit of drama with finely drawn characterizations of real hu- man people. In it there is drama, suspense and good comedy relief. Miss Bennett is charming as Shir- ley Armitage, a stenographer, who goes to work for a scoundrel to save the honor of her brother. Niles Welch is convincing and appealing in the part of the timid, yet jealous lover, who has the whistling habit. The subjects in Paramount maga- zine, and views ‘‘over there” showing “The Doughnut That Did It are on the same program, which is again on view at the Elko tonight. GRAND TONIGHT. “The Other Man’s Wife’” has been glve}\ an excellent production. The atmosphere is there; the photoplay is of the best, and the production in general affords entertainment for all classes. ““The Other Man’s Wife” is a drama of married life—its unhappi- ness, its pit-falls and proves the ul- _timate realization of wife and hus- band pleasure and happiness, i8 found in the home not in the social whirl outside. This drama will again be shown at * the Grand theatre, last times tonight. REX TONIGMT. Tonight at the Rex theatre, Select pictures presents Marian Davies in “The Burden of Proof,” scenerio by S. M.

Accused of Selfishness. ‘“The labor movement is accused of being selfish, want to get more money, the more they get the more they want. A sample of what the miners get from the operators is a ton of coal and when they wanted a ton for their home, they got it at the mouth of the mine and had to pay $2.50 for it and pay for the hauling to their homes. They would be laid off when the coal was plentiful and you never saw a winter that there wasn’t a coa] scare and prices would be raised and paid for by the con.’ sumers. Last year the price went up 50 cents a ton. Who paid tor it and who got the thousands of dollars out of it?' Did the miners? Minnesota Laws. “In Minnesota, we have been able to place six laws on the statute books, and we are going to get others on.

We are not political, have no politics. ‘We want the best men in office and will help to elect him, no matter what his political beliefs are, if he will help promote humanity to- ward all mankind and the men, wom- en and children who work.” At the close of the meeting sand- Wiches-and coffee were served. -\ | - That'’s Different, .
