A BIG TOURNEUR FILM WITH GYPSY HERO Has Thrilling Adventures in Winning His Inheritance From Dishonest Lord — A thrilling shipwreck and rescue by means. of the breeches buoy fom:s the climax of Maurice Tourneur’s new Paramount-Artcraft production, “The Life Line,” which is coming next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to the Elko theatre. It was adapted from George R. Sims’ famous melo- drama of the sea. Maurice Tourneau — creator of “The Blue Bird,” “Sporting Life,” “The White Heather”—has scored again. His latest production is “The Life Line.” . ) “The Life Line” i:, ltltzi his gast uccesses, an adaptation of a g:?lr; Ledfie melodrama, ““The Rom- any Rye.”. It is on the same large, spectacular scale, ‘with a big love story runtiing threugh-it. o " We doubt if anything more thrill- ing has ever beem filmed than the wreck: of the ocean liner and the escape of the passengers by means of the life line, which forms the climax of the play. There is also a realistic theatre fire. i If you like melodrama—and every- one does, if you like thrills, if you like romance, and mystery, and ex- citement and comedy—you’re going to like “The Life Line.” It's a Paramount-Artcraft picture. “Fatty” Arbuckle in “The Cook” and Elko orchestra music Sunday evening are Blso attractions on the same program. st Another Hit for Cruze.

The best short story of the year! Think what that means. Hobart Henley, who ~ directed “Laughing Bill Hyde,” “Too Fat to Fight,” and who produced as well as directed “Parentage” and.a lot of Mae Marsh and Pauline Frederick pictures, bought the photo play rights to Miss Ferber’s story, gave the adap- tation of it to the screen into the capable hands of Mrs. Sidney Drew, then rolled up his shirt sleeves and started to work. . If Miss Ferber’s story can be voted the best story of the year, then Mr. Henley’s picturization of it deserves, and has received, an equal place in filmdom.. “The Gay Old Dog” has no equal upon the screen, for no other producer has had the courage to place upon the screen such a true to life picture. .John Cumberland, known on the stage in “Fair and Warmer,” “Parlor, Bedroom and Bath,” and “Up in Mabel’s Room,” is a revelation in the title role of “The Gay Old Dog.” Gertrude Robinson, long absent from the screen, plays the role of Emily. Next Wednesday the Grand theatre will commence a two day run of “The Gay Old Dog.” St Y Gertrude Bondhill Plays Part of ‘Tomboy’ in ‘Miss Arizona’ Gertrude Bondhill, who plays the part of “Arizona” in “Miss Arizona,” a five-reel Western feature, which comes to the Grand theatre next Monday and Tuesday, is an expert horsewoman. Miss Bondhill can ride a horse and shoot a gun as well as any man. In “Miss Arizona” Miss Bondhill has an opportunity to display her skill, for she takes the part of a “tomboy.” Dressed as a boy she rides her horse with cowboys and in- dulges in the many stunts that are part of the Western cowboy’s life.

TO GET THE WANT YOU WANT TO GET YOU WANT GREAT WANT GETTER, THE BEMIDJI PIONEER Tonight, 7:30 and 9:00 Elko- Published Every Thursday—By the Harding-Whaley Co., Bemidji, Minn. | FAMOUS STORY FILMED |“THE MIRACLE MAN” RANKS WITH GREAT FILM MASTERPIECES George Loane Tucker’s New Par&n;ount-Artcrafl Picture One of Greatest Thus Far Produced Hailed by critics as-one of the greatest motion pictures ever produced, the Paramount-Artcraft feature, “The Miracle Man,” will be displayed at the Elko theatre on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, next. It is the screen version of Frank L. Packard’s famous novel. No picture in recent months has had so much praise lavished upon it for the dramatic quality of its story, its keen characterization, and beautiful photography. What could change the lives of four people whose business it was to swindle the innocent and betray the unwary? Could anything change four people so soaked and sodden® with crime ;hat t;:;y were const:;tl;; e e e S even misunders: ing one another? There was one fihing gchgt did. Yo:x' for thikr?e(;:(?xv days can see it in “The Miracle Man. at the GRAND Theatre Any attempt to set down a just appreciation of George Loane Tuck- er's efforts as the director of “The Miracle Man” must concede him a full measure of praise in every de- tail of production and credit him with having distanced all of his previ- ous contributions to the screen. The cast of “The Miracle Man” is not advertised as, all-star but such a claim might be put in for it without twisting Webster all out of shape. It includes several of the foremost play- ers in the film world. Thomas Meigh- an, who enacts the chief role of Tom Burke, is an actor of unusual ability. Betty Compson, who plays the exact- ing part of Rose, is considered one of the most promising young actresses of the screen. Others in the cast are Lon Chaney, J. M. Dumont, W. Law- son Butt, F. A. Turner, Lucille Hut- ton, Elinor Fair and Joseph J. Dowl- ‘ing. Though costing more than any photoplay ever shown in Bemidji, the management decided to present “The Miracle Man” here at admis- sion prices less than charged for it elsewhere—as appreciation for the past liberal patronage accorded the Elko and Grand theatres. The Elko orchestra, augmented, will play spe- cial music each evening during the four days run of “The Miracle Man.” Tonight (last time) Little Ben Alexander and an All-Star Cast, in “THE TURN IN THE ROAD” Pathe Weekly News Topics of the Day Friday Only GERALDINE FARRAR WALLACE REID in a return showing of “MARIA ROSA” Saturday and Sunday SYLVIA BREAMER ROBERT GORDON in the J.

These three names, and the title, should be suf- ficient evidence that it is an unusual picture. It has been here before but there are many who will want to see it again, and many who have not seen it at all. ““Maria Rosa’ will be shown Friday only at the Grand theatre. PN, New Light Romance. If one likes romance in the form of a motion picture film, it is cer- tainly to be had at the Elko theatre next Wednesday, when Bryant Washburn’s new Paramount picture, “Love Insurance,” is to be presented. “Love Insurance” abounds in unique and important character parts, and the leading actors and actresses who play them have ample opportunity to do their best work. The scenes are laid in a beautiful spot in Florida, and the plot deals with the efforts of a conscientious insurance agent to subordinate duty to love and hasten the marriage of the girl he loves to a rival. How- ever, Cupid will not be foiled, and it all turns out happily in the end. Bryant Washburn is the likeable young insurance agent, while beau- tiful Lois Wilson is the woman in the case. i o A Great Comedy. The popular verdict of the patrons of the Elko theatre, where Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle’s Paramount com- edy, “The Cook,” is on a return en- gagement next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, was that the corpulent comedian never had a finer vehicle for the display of his powers to pro- voke healthful laughter. The comedy is an excellent one and is well worth seeing again. Mr. Arbuckle is finely supported by Buster Keaton, Al St. John and Alice Lake. Efficient sup- port is supplied by “Luke,” a terrier of more than average canine intelli- gence. P Warm and comfort are always to be found at the Grand and Elko theatres. f< s ' | | B | PAGE FIVE Due to the night trains being replaced, we have RESTORED OUR OLD PRICES to their former rates.

Stuart Black- ton gave us a new combination of stars—Sylvia Breamer and Robert Gordon—in “Missing.” The dark- haired, dark-eyed Sylvia and the tall, blond and slender Robert made an ideal team of youthful leads, but they never appeared together again until now, when they return in “The Moon- shine Trail,” showing Saturday and Sunday at the Grand theatre. “The Moonshine Trail,” like all of Mr. Blackton’s splendid@ productions, contains a large quantity of good red meat—it is tense drama through- out, brightened, however, by some very human comedy touches. The story was written by Mr. Blackton and Stanley Olmsted. It is the tale of a boy who has inherited a craving for strong liquor, and finds himself following in his father’s criminal footsteps. He is engaged to a girl who comes to the city after her father and brothers, who operated an illicit moonshine still, are killed by revenue men. But youth is strong and courageous and happiness comes eventually. ¥ “Close to Nature”—a two-part comedy featuring Mr. & Mrs. Carter DeHaven, will complete the program. —o Miss Claudia Erickson, who is leaving for California was guest of honor at a theatre party in the Elko last Friday, the hostesses being Misses Pearl Tanner and Leona Carlton. The other fair guests were, Misses Ruth and Marie Rice, Frances and Helen Sinclaire, Helen and Lil- lian Erickson, Dorothy and Gladys Hannah, Alice Prather, Mabel Tan- ner and Agnes Skinvick. i B Nine young ladies were guests of Mrs. Jas.
