Bryant Washburn and Lois Wilson, who appear together in the new Para- mount-Arteraft comedy picture “Why Snith’ Left Home,” at the Elko theatre tomorrow and Saturday, have now completed-a Movieland romance from first meeting, through elope- ment, marriige, and reconciliation after the momentous first quarrel. Screen lovers will recall the pair in ‘“Love Insurance,” Mr. Washburn’s previous starring vehicle, where they.| - become acquainted' under bizarre cir- cumstances and fall in love. Though “Why Smith Left Home’ is in no ' sense a sequel to the other film, it carries the lovers through a rapid- fire elopement and a tumultuous and extremely amusing honeymdon. Fire, wrecks, designing serving maids, and 8y earthquake combine to foil Smith in his efforts to win his first nuptial kiss, and only when he turns cave- man does he succeea. The picture is a screen version of George Broadhurst’s well known farce of the same name. Bachelors will probably smile complacently and say, “I told you so,” when they see “Why Smith Left Home.” For cer- tainly no man ever had more cause to brand marriage a big mistake than Smith, the youthful bridegroom play- ed by Mr. Washburn. . There will be special music, and two other entertaining short subjects on the Elko program Friday and Sat- urday. . i All speculation as to Mabel Nor- mand’s future plans were set at rest when, at the expiration of-her con- tract with Goldwyn, she signed a new one.

It’s true. Her newest picture, ““His Ofticial Fiancee,” beats them all, for sheer charm, cleverness of story, and originality. It’s a story of a girl who becomes engaged to a man for business mea- sons, and later renews the engage- ment for personal reasons. And a lot of delightful comedy and romahce thrown in. ‘“His Official Fiancee,” is bodked for showing at the Elko theatre in the near future. B — COMEDIES AT THE GRAND “Sea Sirens” is the title of the comedy showing tonight for the last time. Friday and Saturday, “Go ‘West Young Woman,” a 2-part Chris- tie Special will provide the laughs. “Don’t Believe Everything,” is the one for Sunday, and ‘“Oh Susie Be Careful,” another Christie comedy is booked for next Wednesday and Thursday.

Denise Fleury, the heroine of “The Virtuous Model,” the Albert Capel- lani-Pathe picture, of which Dolores Cassinelli is the star, coming to the Grand theatre on tonight for the last time, believed that her soul, as well as her body, had been the inspiration for her sculptor husband’s master- piece, for which she had posed, and when another woman sought to claim her place, Denise fought! i Dolores Cassinelli, the Cameo Girl, whose most recent appearances were as the star of ‘“The Unknown Love” and ‘“Lafayette, We Come!” is the star of “The Virtuous Model,” which is an adaptation of Pierre Wolff's fa- mous play, ‘“The Gutter.” “Sea Sirens,” a Christie comedy, will complete the program.

The late Colonel Roosevelt felt the same way about it. There’s no getting around it, a good detective story satisfies a great human need. Everybody likes them. But -a detective story has to be good. Not clap-trap, serial stuff, but genunie mystery, thrills, excitement, that stirs the emgtions and the wits all at once. Probably the best detective story writer of today is Maurice LeBlanc. His famous crook character, Arsene Lupin, is known all over the world as one of the most fascinating char- acters of fiction. And of all the Arsene Lupin stories, none is more fascinating, more intriguing, than “The Teeth of the Tiger.” This has been made into a Para- mount-Arteraft picture, with David Powell in the role of the fascinating crook—now turned straight and act- ing as a detective. In support are Marguerite Courtot and Myrtle Sted- man. The cast is practically all- :tar. Chet Withey directed the pic- ure. “The Teeth of the Tiger” is booked for showing in the Elko theatre within a short time. P NS “THE MAN WHO WON” The play deals with the adventure of Christopher Keene (Harry Morey) in securing a vast quantity of plati- num at a time when the world was after the same thing. Mysterious enemies attack him. He falls into the hands of a powerful enemy who seeks to deprive him of the fruits of his toil. Fate plays a part and he loses his memory. His actions be- come suspicious, perhaps he is a spy. That is what the girl thought and tried to prevent him from accom- plishing his object. The elements of mystery and sus- pense are consistent and the surprise ending is the natural result of un- raveling the plot. It is not dragged in by the ears as so many of the so called surprise endings are. It is the kind of play that holds the attention L Matinees Daily 3:00 Nights at 7:30 and 9:00 Priceless to Patrons ) “IN MIZZOURA,” NEW WARWICK PICTURE Famous Train Robbery Gave Augustus Thomas Facts for Thrilling Plot Much has been written about re- alism on the screen, but the whole plot of “In Mizzoura,” the new Para- mount.Artcraft picture starring Rob- ert Warwick, which will be shown at the Elko tneatre Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, is built around a startl- ing incident that happened in that state several years ago. The author, Augustus Thomas, was at that time a reporter on a St. Louis paper. A train robbery took place in which a {lone highwayman held up the express messenger and stole several thousand dollars. Afterward he turned up in a small town and was captured. Mr. Thomas took this affair and, with his | dramatic genius, incorporated it into a play, along with an unusually ap- pealing little love story. The late Nat Goodwin used it for several years as a starring vehicle. It was inevitable that a play of such force and appeal should reach the screen. Robert Warwick is said to fit ideally into the role of the hero, and Eileen Percy is a pretty leading woman. The cast also includes Noah Beery, Monte Blue, Gertrude Short and Robert Cain. Added attractions are “Why Di- vorce?,” a two part Carter De Haven comedy, showing each day, and spe- cial music by five talented musicians Sunday evening. i S NEW BILLIE BURKE FILM “Nothing is the matter with me except that I have marriea the wrong man,” are Billie Burke's tearful words a few moments after she has been wedded to a handsome Italian count in her new Paramount-Art- craft picture, “Sadie Love,” which is the attraction at the. Elko theatra next Wednesday and Thursday.
