thoroughly enjoyable Paramount- Artcraft picture. NEW CLAYTON PICTURE. America’s worst vice is said to be spending more than we earn. Rupert Hughes wrote a stirring novel about it called “The Thirteenth Command.- ment.” The story has been made into a Paramount-Artcraft motion picture, starring Ethel Clayton, and will be shown at the Elko theatre Friday and Saturday. It is said to offer dramatic entertainment as well as considerable tood for thought. A_TTRACTIVE SHOW AT GRAND PROGRAM CHANGES TOMORROW The Flo Hartley Musical Comedy opened their four day engagement at the Grand theatre last evening when tiey presented to a large audience “A Modern Cinderella” which proved to be a snappy fourty-five minutes of swift moving comedy. Walter Morris as “Abe” and Art Selby at “Pat” reg- istered a distinct hit while Florence Hartley’s singing was easily the feat- ure of the evening. Madge Kennedy's newest photoplay “The Blooming An- gel” was well up to the Goldwyn standard which made the evenings entertainment very satistactory thru- out.

OLIVE TELL g AT THE KEX TOMORROW “The Trap,” which comes to the Rex theater tomorrow with Olive Tell in the leading role was rendered con- spicuous at the outset by the fact that it was written by Richard Hard- ing Davis, the master of the dramancl situation, assisted by Jules Sckles Goodman. Frank Reicher, who di- rected the production, is a student of dramatic suspense, and was him- self a well-known player of the speak- ing stage, having appeared in Shakes- pearean roles for many years with Sothern and Marlow. He is regard- ed as one of the ablest authorities on Shakespeare in America. The action in “The Trap,” a Uni- versal production, takes place in the Yukon, during the gold-rush days and reverts to New York. The wild, picturesque scenery of the Klondike, the habits of the men and women who went there to cajole the yellow harpy, gold, are portrayed with intense real- ism, it is said. The subsequent events, which transpire in New York, reflect the plot strength of the Davis story. the photographical possibilities pres- SPRING ‘COATS With the new one- piece frock so favorite the separate Spring Coat is of prime im- portance.
