D., April 8, "20. G. M. Harding, Mgr., Grand Theatre, Bemidji. Played a “Night in Honolulu” com- pany tonight’ to capacity business. Best company and play ever here for the money. Beautiful scenery and eleetrical effect; real actors.. Troupe astive Hawalians singers and dan- _cers and a sensational hulu-hula dan- eer; can’t be beat. Boost to the _skies. McCarthy Bros. Mgr., Orpheum theatre. The Journal Press of St. Cloud, comments as follows about the show seen in this city. “The Miner was packed last night by & well entertained -audience, in -the “Night in Honolulu.” The cuarac- ters were all well taken, but as no . programs were supplied, the identi- ty of the cast is still a mystery, and .special mention is not to be made. “The musieal feature was highly en- _ joyed, and the Hawaiian trio was re- -called four or five times. The scenic ..effects were good, and the dancing .« of the native dancer was very classy. >-The burning volcano was so realistic ~that the opera house was filled with :-smoke, and helped exit the audience z-4n record breaking time. The produc- tion on the whole was much better ~han some of the higher priced attrac- - tions that have recently appeared in = this oity.” - COMING TO THE REX On April 13 and 14 the Rex theatre announces the Stroheim wonder play “Blind Husbands.’ * ‘When a husband becomes neglect- ful and unloving, shall the wife at- cept the attention of another man? The story is depicted somewhat as follows. < The bestial nature of a libertine ofticer, formerly of the Austrian army, is relently exposed in *“Blind Husbands,” the Universal photo- drama of the Tyrolean Alps. The principal role is played by Eric Stroheim, former lieutenant of the Austrian army, and in ‘‘Blind Husbands” Eric Stroheim portrays the arrogance and supreme conceit that made the Teuton unfit for the cummunion of humans. As a lieutenant of the Austrian army. the starring villain goes to a fashionable resort in the Alps to prey on womankind. There he meets ‘Margaret Armstrong, wife of the fa- mous Dr.”Armstrong, who is a loved but badly .neglected wife. Dr. Armstrong makes a discovery, suspects something worse, and his soul is seared and tortured when the lieutenant lies to him. The fate of a love-buazard in the form of a man, is the theme of the story. Stroheim is remembered, even hat- ed, by thousands of people,-for his portrayal of a Hun officer in the big Universal war-picture, “The Teart of Humanity.” Supporting him in ‘Blind Husb- ands” as Margaret Armstrong, the wife, is Francelia Billington and the following cast of popular Universal players: Sam DeGrasse, H. Gibson- Gowland, Valerie Germonprez and Jack Perrin. . B SODA FOUNTAIN CHAFFEUR¢ The old story of the country majd- en who, longing for the bright lights, journeys to a New York hall bedroom with high ambitions-and a wicker suitcase, is tempted -without success, and then returns, disfllusioned, to the little rural village is given a brand new and uproariously funny twist— several of them, in fact—by vivacious’ Dorothy Gish in her latest screen farce, “Mary Ellen Comes to Town,” which appears at the Elko theatre to- night and Saturday. . Miss Gish i8 chaffeur of a small Sale of Silk Waists Commencing Saturday Morning 'The high price of silks caused the maker of these waists to discontinue the silk waist line.

If you know Gish pic- tures, you are aware of the wonderful opportunities for side-splitting com- edy this situation offers the little star. Later, in the city she becomes a cabaret singer and is used by her '|boss as the 'lure to attract a certain young man’s pocketbook. - But she upsets the dope by falling:.in love with her victim. /This picture has rather more plot than the average Gish feature. But that (loesn’t matter. The star is her infisitable self and she could make a wooden Indian laugh himself off his pedestal. Ralph Graves is the young man, and Charles Gerrard is the vil- lain. “Pay Your Dues”—Harold Lloyd comedy i8 also on the program} GIRL REFUSES FIANCEKISS . . GETS SWIFT EXPERIENCE To break off with her flance be- cause he allowed her to be kissed by apother man, to hear his threat to kill the other man, ‘to rush to warn the latter, and then to find in his rooms a woman in bed, are the thrills which are the share of .the leading woman in ‘“The ‘Beloved Cheater,” Robertson-Cole special, which is opening today at the Grand theatre for an engagement of two days. In this Gasnier production, featur- ing Lew Cody, Eileen Percy has the part of a girl who refused to kiss her fiance (played by Jack Mower) be- cause she has subscribed to the code of a reform urder which says that pre-nuptial kissing is wrong. | To win her to a rational attitude on this matter the aid of “The Be- loved Cheater” (Lew Cody) is en- listed, whereby he .consents to kiss the girl, and makes it appear that the kiss was administered by her fiance.
