LAST TIME TONIGHT. “The Turn in the Road,” a Brent- wood Film Corporation production, showing at the Grand tonight for the last time, is a beautiful story beauti- fully told. Paul Perry, son of a money-mad father, married the lovely daughter ot a minister of the orthodox religion. \Vhen his wife died in child birth Paul lost faith in the “God to Whom the will of man should meekly bow,” s he had been taught, and became a wanderer. Into the story is woven the self- sacrifice and unfailing love of a girl ——his dead wife's sister—who had de- voted her life to the care of his little Doy and taught him that “God is Jove.” Little Bob, his son, by his childlike faith, melted the money-hardened heart of old Perry, incidentally sav- ing his life from a gang of workmen who had been driven to desperation by his iron-fisted domination. . “The Turn in the Road” was writ- ten by King W. Vidor and produced under the personal direction of the author. “OUT OF LUCK” COMING. Were you born under the sign of the constellation Venus? Better look it up. Dorothy Gish was in her new Paramount picture, ““Out of Luck,” which comes to the Elko theatre to- morrow and Saturday, and it led to TEE WESKXLY FIONEESR OPFIOIAL COUNIY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS SHAMING THE DEVIL.

One of the most novel finishes ever presented before a moving picture audience, is a feature of the new Wal- lace Reid Paramount photoplay, “The Love Burglar,” which will be shown last times at the Elko theatre tonight. The story concerns the love of a young society idler, a man of wealth and position, for a beautiful girl, who apparently is a siren of the slums. Although he falls madly in love with the girl he is convinced he can never marry her. Here is where the delightful finish comes in. But it’s too good to tell. J. C. McGhee, county superintend- ent of schools, and Miss Mae Mac- Gregor, county school nurse, are ex- pected to return Sunday from an in- spection trip which included the rural schools in the northern part of Beltrami county. Mrs. W. S. Falls, of Nebish was in Bemidji yesterday to visit her hus- band, who is in the St. Anthony hos- pital.

Beginning next Friday the famous William Fox star, William s'arnum, will be seen at the Rex theatre, for two days in his latest and what is re- garded as his greatest photoplay, “The Rainbow Trail,” a dramatiza- tion of a stirring Western novel writ- ten by Zane Grey. “The Rainbow Trail” is a typical Farnum production and chuck full of thrills and timely situations. The story is complete in itself, but at the same time is a sequel to “Riders of The Girl in Business. The big difference between young men and women in business is that the former know they have many years of work ahead, while the latter often feel that their sojourn in the business world is to be- temporary. Only to the extent that a girl consid- ers her work as a lifetime affair, and accordingly devotes her whole heart and soul to it, ean she succeed in ris- ing above the rank and file—Forbes Magazine. some merry complications, including two love affairs, a mix-up with a for- tune-teller, and a mad scramble with two enterprising burglars. This is . said to be one of the funniest farce ' comedies ever screened. FARRAR—REID. Geraldine Farrar’s great Para- mount starring vehicle, ‘“‘Maria Rosa,” in which Wallace Reid is her leading man, scored a tremendous hit at the Grand theatre some time ago, and will be shown here again Friday only. It is a dramatic picture which affords the star ample opportunities for effective work. The supporting company is excellent. < WHAT THE STARS PREDICT Most of the planets are favorable today. This is a lucky day for weddings and material benefits as wel las love will be gained by those who marry today. Theatres, actors, and new 'plays have the best possible augury today. - The stars indicate continued strife for Eastern Europe, and France and Italy will have a year of serious difficulties. ... The death of a famous scientist is again foretold and there will be many who pass on among the foremost men of affairs. Children born today will be energetic an dgenerous and fortunate in affairs of the heart.
