Miss Joyce plays the role of ..arion Durand, .wife of the Freneh aristo- crat,- and later the role of her own daughter Beatrice. This- production, from the pen of Rex Beach, with Alice Joyce in the stellar role, will be shown as the fea- ture attraction at the Grand theatre on Sunday and Monday. A Christie comedy, ‘“Pearls and a Peach,” will complete the program. GRAND TONIGHT. “The Prince and Betty,” which is showing at the Grand for the last time tonight, is a splendid picturiza- tion of Pelham Grenville Wodehouse’s romantic novel of the same name. It has all the elements that make a pic- ture good entertainment. Bill ves- mond has a chance to use his usts and his charming personality to the best advantage,rand the cast could not be improved upon. Mary Thurman, who has given up one-piece bathing suits and comedies, for' fashion’s latest and drama roles, puts a decided crimp in the story when, as Betty, she deliberately in- sults the prince. The story is one of adventure and romance told in humorous vein.

As a result, available educatign may have an exceptionally wide choice of positions. The vacancies are created by the interpreter of that long established policy. The vote was for the re-adoption of a change, and seventeen democratic senators voted in favor of the reservation. —_— .

It 'is an“appealing bit of girl-psy- chology that Marguerite Clark un- folds in her new picture, “A Girl Named Mary,” which is being shown at the Elko theatre Sunday. She has the role of a stenographer living in a humble flat with a woman she has always called mother. A rich widow has been searching for fifteen years for her daughter who was carried away, involved in a train wreck, and never heard from again. The widow suddenly discovers that ‘Mary, the Stenographey, is the long sought-for girl and she pours out her heart to her, offering her ease and luxury instead of her humble life of toil. Mary's heart is torn with con- fiicting emotions. She hardly knows her real mother'and she has learned :ln love her foster-mother dearly. At first she rebels at the elegance and lofty tastes of the widow’s household and runs away. But finally a certain . young man, the sweetheart of her less ! prosperous days, clears up the diffi- culty by asking her hand in marriage. The second of the Prizma series— the new natural color pictures, the ‘first of which caused so much com- ment last week—entitled Catalina Islands, showing those beautiful places in their natural colors, will be shown Sunday at the Elko theatre with ‘“A Girl Named Mary,” Mar- guerite Clark’s latest picture.
