DON'T MISS SEEING (“SCARLET DAYS” IS GRIFFITH PICTURE |‘MORE DEADLY THAN —HISTORICAL TALE OF CALIFORNIA| THE MALE HAS Gallantry; “Scarlet Days,” Most Fascinating It was an historical masterpiece as well as a thrilling motion picture and Adventure that David Wark Griffith set about creating when he produced “Scarlet Days,” his new production which is coming to the Elko theatre next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. He aimed to tell the glowing story of the old Cali- fornia of the days of ’49, portraying on the screen what Bret Harte has so entertainingly told in fiction. He portrays in this new picture what is undoubtedly the most pic- turesque and strangely: fascinating period of American history—the days of ’49. Days when life was at its fullest, days of adventure and romance, That’s the title of this new Griffith production—“Scarlet Days.” It is not a wild west story—it is a story unlike anything ever done. What Griffith presents on his colorful backgrounds is human life. Wherever life is intense and vivid, be it in the living present or in a forgotten age, Griffith finds_his material. & ou will love the characters of the story—Alvarez, the gallant bandit; Randolph, the heroic aristocrat; Chiquita, the bandit’s sweetheart; Rosy Nell, ‘and all the others whose loves became real in.

This one, however, laid him up for three days. the scene takes place on a stairway, and after a dramatic struggle Charles is knocked down by his opponent.

A STAR COMEDIAN " Larry Semon, who appears at the Elko theater in “Big V” comedy, “The Simple Life,” Friday and Sat- urday of this week, has made such a hit with his original antics that vast sums are being expended to feature him in competition with other highly paid comedy stars. His salary, under a new contract recently made, is very high, but the applause he gets from those who have seen his newest com- edies indicates his productions are worth the additional cost. e L e T e e R TR NSRS i = THEATRE NEWS , ELKO|
