Loane Tucker's “The Miracle Man” Begins Four-Day Run at Elko Tomorrow—See It From the Start It is a part of our job to view beforehand some of the motion pictures that come to the Elko theatre.

A A A FAMOUS MELO- DRAMA FILMED Zulus on War Path Supply Big Thrill “A Woman of Pleasure,” is the tile of Blanche Sweet’s newest photo- play which, incidentally, marks her debut as a Jesse D. Hampton-Pathe star. The picture, which is a special attraction, showing Saturday and Sunday at the Grand theatre, is a special feature seven reels in length. It’s a corking melodrama written by James Willard and produced with great success by the far-famed Adel- lem theatre of London. Based on the eternally perplexing 'problem of the erternal triangle, with the action laid in England and in British South Africa, where the Zulus go on the warpath, “A Woman of| Pleasure” rums the gamut of emo- tions. It contains all the elements pla‘y out of it, which ran on Broadway for a long time. it is, coming to the Elko beginning 3:00 matinee tomorrow, Christmas day, Cohen made a wonderfully successful In its screen form In the realm of photoplay and dramatic art, “The Miracle Man” is an It pictures a story so wonderful in its appeal to all classes of people that its merit cannot be over-estimated. cent dramatic, one hundred per cent heart-appealing, one hundred per cent entertainment and one thousand per cent perfect in all those details which make real photoplays so eminently successful wherever presented. spires, appeals, thrills and entertains, and once seen it will never be It is one hundred per It in- Please do not fail to see “The Miracle Man” from the start—not backward.

To begin with, Edna Fcrbex“, fam- ous for her remarkably true-to-life stories of Emma McChesney,” wrote the story, which is in itself evidence that the story is more than ordinary. Hobart Henley, one of America’s foremost directors, is responsible for the production, and John Cumberland although new to the motion pictures, comes with a record that is unsur- passed. On Broadway in the legiti- mate productions he stands forth as a premier fun maker, having proven his ability as leading man in the well known plays such as “Twin Beds,” “Fair and Warmer,” and “Up in Mabels Room.” Jimmy Dodd, promised his dying mother that he would not marry un- til his three maidenly sisters had be- come brides, although he was then engaged himself. His heroic efforts to find suitable husbands for the three spinsters, afford ample material for unlimited humor. Fate seems against him, and his youth gone, he becomes a “Gay Old Dog.” You will enjoy this picture, it is rated as one of the best of the sea- son, and you can see it either after- noon or evening at the Grand theatre Wednesday or Thursday. “The Miracle Man” Christmas Day A~ AND Fri.—-Sat.-—-Sun. Afternoon and Evening Elko See Ad. for Priceless to Patrons HAYAKAWA PLAYS TONG HATCHETMAN Japanese Screen Star Does Dare-Devil Stunts as Chin- ese Assassin in “The Tong Man,” His New Play As Luk Chan, the highbinder and chief hatchetman of the secret so- ciety of the Tong in “The Tong Man,” showing at the Grand next Wednesday and Thursday, Sessue Hayakawa has the most unusual and thrilling role he has ever essayed in pictures. The production is a screen adapta- tion of Clyde C. Westover's remark- able story published under the title of “The Dragon’s Daughter.” There is nothing “soft” about this role for Hayakawa. “The Tong Man” is a bad “Chink”’—a desperate, ruthless hatchetman who doesn’t hesi- tate to brain an enemy or a faithless member of the Tong. His one re- deeming trait is his love for the beau- tiful Chinese maiden, Sen Chee, whom he rescues after a desperate fight with a gang of Tongmen, and then sails away to China with his bride-to-be. o : Birthday Theatre Party Last Saturday was the anniversary of Miss Dorothy Andrews’ birthday, and to fittingly celebrate the occasion that charming young lady was hostess at a theatre party in the Elko, hav- ing for her guests, Misses Mary Welsh, Ellen Dilley, Katherine Gil- more, Norine Gill, Edith and Juvia Gordhammer, Jane Harris, Elizabeth Winklesky, Beatrice and Dorothy Larson and Irene Lahr. A luncheon was served at Miss Andrews’ home after conclusion of the matinee at the Elko. e, ¥ You Cannot Insure Bryant Washburn, commenting on the story of his new Paramount pic- ture, “Love Insurance,” which comes to the Elko theatre tonight only, says that there never will be any insur- familiar ance preval- ent in at some. period in everyone’s life, commonly called love.
