Matinees Daily 2:30 Nights at 7:30 and 9:00 A CLEVER PICTURE WITH NOVEL TWIST Stage Comedy Offers Ideal * Vehicle for Marguerite Clark, the Dainty Screen Star 5 The familiar story of the country girl who aspires to be a great rtist is given a brand new twist in “ uck in Pawn,” Marguerite Clark’s lat,gst Paramount-Artcraft picture, which will be the attraction at the Elko theatre for three days, commencing Sunday next. Generally in fiction the aspiring heroine wins immortal fame with a masterpiece just as ‘she is about” to succumb to starvation. “Luck in Pawn” treats the situation in a much more true-to-life and pleas- ant manner. Annabel Lee, the pret- ty heroine, played by Miss Clark, is a country girl whose mother has paid for her art training by considerable sacrifice, Annabel is informed by a noted painter that her talen* is in- finitesimal and is feeling pretty blue when a bored young millionaire, at- tracted by her unaffected clothes and ingenuous manner, strikes up an acquaintance with her. The pretty love story that follows, with its rn!;h— er startling ending, is said to furnish a thoroughly entertaining comedy picture in Miss Clark’s best manner. Charles Meredith heads a capable supporting cast, which includes Leota Lorraine, Richard Wayne and John Steppling. Walter Edwards was the director. Louise Fazenda will also appear at the Elko Sunday, Monday and Tues- day, in repeat showing of Mack Sen- nett’s comedy, “Those Athletic Girls.”| the narrative w There will be orchestra music Sunday]small town or village must be very, evening. PR SR New Clayton Picture. Local admirers of the work of Ethel Clayton will welcome the news that the pretty star is soon coming to the Elko theatre in her new Para- mount-Artcraft picture, “More Dead- ly Than the Male,” said to be a novel story of adventure with a sur- prise ending. ——— b pflflfl Te each day give an interesting and complete review of the city’s social activities is our desire. sonal mention, social items and news briefs and we solicit your JAll are. welcome.

This producing company has as- tonished the mo- tion picture world by its remarkable organization, its perfection, and theexcellent quality of its out- put, in the short period of six months. “Anne . of Green Gables,” the title of this, the second release, is a faithful screen version of the popular and famous “Anne” books by L. M. Montgomery, and as for the star—the dainty bit of feminity, Miss Mary Miles Minter, needs no introduction. Sufficient to say that “Anne of Green Gables” is her best vehicle, and she has made the most of it. Following is a review and criticism from the Exhibitor’s Herald, a trade paper, which is published only for theatre managers. It is printed here word for word: Mary Miles Minter in ANNE OF GREEN GABLES Sixpart Comedy-drama; Realart. ...... Opinion: There is no such thing as an “average” small town picture. Unlike any other class of film story, which is laid in the —_— i very good or it will be judged very, very poor by those who seek in it entertainment. ‘“Anne of Green Gables” wins a place in the former classification by a wide margin. ‘That strong human appeal which is essential to the small town story, if it is to entertain and not to bore, is a dominant feature of Mary Miles Minter’s first production for Realart. It would be hard to say whether the star or the story is chiefly responsi- ble for this fact. But it is, happily, S | | (& e L NS S g Published Every Thursday—By the Harding-W h MARY MILES MINTER’S DOROTHY GISH ‘IN Star as Inmate of a Sanitar- ium—Upsets the Place Dorothy Gish has been taken in In one of her earlier releases, you re- hand by the authorities again. member, she was confined in a re- formatory. “Turning the Tables,” her new picture which is coming to the Elko theatre for two days, com- mencing next Wednesday, shows her as the lively inmate of a sanitarium. Only she hasn’t been satisfied to pass life in a padded cell but has seized the cap and insignia of a nurse and is ministering to the mentally sick. A rollicking love story and lots of that unique Gish humor are said to be entwined in the plot, which gives disturbing Dorothy ample opportun- ity to exhibit her laugh-making wares. Included in the cast are Raymond Cannon, George Fawcett, and Kate Toncray, and like the previous Gish releases the picture was directed by Elmer- Clifton. o— We have recently closed a contract with -an excellent - concert company who will appear at the Grand theatre and entertain with a very high order of vocal and instrumental music.

Montgomery’s book, from which the play and the title have been taken, was exceptionally suc- cessful both as to comment and to circulation when placed upon the book stands. Every precaution has been taken to make the picture translation a veracious one. Expense has been disregarded. A splendid cast has been assembled for the supporting roles. Locations have been painstakingly selected. And the technical phases of production are of high order. Whether the star has done better work, of course, is a matter of indi- vidual opinion. But it is safe to say that she never produced a picture which will enjoy greater popularity, or popularity with better cause. 2, — AGAIN IN LATEST ’ i AMUSING PHOTOPLAY / “Turning'the Tables” Presents CELEETGEETY NORMA TALMADGE JSLE OF g Tg(l);NQUEST' From a girls’ boarding school to the arms of a man she loathed, via New York’s gayest set—and thence to “The Isle of Conquest” with an- other man—THE man!

They were surprised at the excellent emotional work that. she did. In “The Firing Line” she proved herself to be a real star. Besides acting ability, she has a rare beauty and a talent—which has helped to make her famous—for wearing clothes beautifully. She has made a new Paramount- Artcraft picture, entitled “The In-| visible Bond.” We won’t say that it’s better than “The Firing Line.” We’'ll let you judge for yourself when you see it. It has all the qualities which made “The Firing Line” a big picture—a strong story, wonderful settings and costumes, splendid direc-' tion—it was done by Charles Maigne SOUTH SEAS TYPICAL TROPICAL SCENES IN Norma Talmadge’s Biggest Pic~ tures at Grand Theatre Next Week Norma Talmadge'’s latest screen production, “The Isle of Conquest,” a Select special - production, which comes to the Grand theatre next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, carries variety of scenes as well as variety of action. Much of the ac- tion takes place on an isolated island in the South Seas, and on the island many effective- locations figure as backgrounds. Also of particular in- terest are those scenes taken aboard a yacht. These passages show the yvacht torpedoed at sea, and the sub- sequent shipwreck furnishes the inci~ dents through which a man and wo- man find themselves alone on a small island. The atmosphere of the picture car- ried the air of good taste and good breeding at all times, with locale shifting from a fashionable boarding school of Palm Beach, and from other society centers to a tropical isle. -0 —and Irene Castle.

Watch for the dates. ; humble home and her childhood Griffith Shows Real West. In no picture on the screen that we can remember has California of the golden, rough days of ’49 been set forth with such fascination and glam- our or so faithfully as in David Ward Griffith’s new Paramount-Artcraft production, “Scarlet Days,” which is booked to show at the Elko within a short time. The old-time California has frequently been represented as a place where the chief industry was murder and whose population was about equally divided between cow- punchers in hair pants and dance hall young ladies dressed like the Zieg- feld Follies. Mr. Griffith shows the old frontier as it really was—in its roaring brutality and its strange ten- film version of this unusual dramatic | sweetheart and forced by her design-|der chivalry.
