FARNUM AT REX TONIGHT ‘Willfam Farnum appears tonight . at the Rex theatre in a strong aqfl thrilling film “The Heart of a Lion”. ‘/As is true in all Farnum pictures this one holds the attention of the .sudience spell bound. It is a show . well worth your while to see, accord- 4ng to the management of this play Rhouse. . What promises to be one of the real motion picture events of the year —and from film gossip concerning the production, the promise bids fair 10 be satisfactorily realized—will come to the Rex theatre Saturday in @ picturization of Sir Gilbert Parker"s' greatest novel, “The Right of Way, starring the magnetic and versatile young actor, Bert Lytell. It will be recalled that before the author wrote this book he was plain Gilbert Parker, a Canadian writer of pote; and that after its publication he was by royal proclamation knight- ed, becoming, because of the distinc- tion of “The Right of Way” in the fleld of letters, Sir Gilbert Parker. “The publishers of the volume, Messrs. Harper & Brothers, estimate that the yeaders of this book run inte the amillions. Translating celebrated books to the screen has in many instances ~peen disappointing, “ especially to readers to whom widely known char- acters, such as that of ‘““Beauty” .Steele in “The crystallized in imagination into real persons. But when~Screen Classics, Inc., the producting unit which dis- tributes its pictures through Metro undertakes 'such production those .who have read the book may go to .-gee the picture Wwith the assurance that atmosphere, characterization, story and setting will have been faithfully, intelligently translated into the forth of a motion picture; that the cinemographic version will equal, if not surpass, in power, pic- turesqueness and heart appeal of the .original story. . REMARKABLY GOOD Moving picture world—J. Parker Read, Jr.’s “Sahara”, starring Louise . .«Glaum is a picture of which not only <those who had a part in its making ‘Dut the entire trade may be proud as representing what can be made of the photoplay. The total effect of the picture is fine. The final summing of the efforts of C.

Matt Moore is strongest in his moments as the drug- crazed white man in the beggar quar- ters of Cairo. The setting in the Pal- ace of thé Dawn, Cairo, are nothing short of wonderful. “Sahara’” {8 mag- nificently produced, big in all its phases. A powerful story, with Sa- haran and Cairo settings, makes ‘‘Sa- hara,” which is showing at the Grand' theatre tonight and Saturday a pho- toplay marvel of beauty. Next- Sunday’s attraction at the Grand will be Goldwyn’s motion pic- ture version of Rupért Hughes’ great American story ‘“The Cup of Fury.” It is a vividly, enthralling photoplay., glowing. with the spirit of true Am- ericanism as embodied in the com- plex personality of Mamise, runaway usic hall actress, and social butter- fly, who casts aside a life of luxury and pleasure to help alleviate the suf- ferings of humanity. DONE IT AGAIN . It was not so long ago that the motion picture public hailed “Twen- ty-three and a Halt Hour's Leave,” as the best comedy picture of the sea- son and welcomed Donglas Mac Lean and Doris May, Thomas H. Ince’s lat- est discoveries, to the ranks of ‘worth- while film stars. Now this young pair has gone and done-it again and roduced in “Mary’s Ankle,” showing at the Elko theatre this week, one of the liveliest and thoroughly enjoyable comedies we have ever seen in many a long moon. 3 As i8 quite well known, the origin- al is by May Tully and was a hit as a stage farce, Handsome Douglas Mac- Lean was never more infectious in his humor that when ministering to “Mary’s Ankle.” And Miss May is quite worth the attention. Luther B. Reed adapted the story for Mr. Ince. Lloyd Ingraham did the directing and it i3 a Paramount Artcraft re- lease. & A “Big V” comedy and special mu- sical program are added attractions at the Elko tonight and tomorrow. STAGE SUCCESS FILMED Blsie Ferguson’s fine Paramount Artcraft picture, “His House jn Or- der,” ‘which will be shown at the Elko theatre Sunday and Monday is based upon Sir Arthur Wing Pin- ero's famous stage success of the same name, It has been handsomely picturized by Hugh Ford, the story is intensely appealing- and the sup- ty agricultural agent, spent Thursday __—_—_—_——i—————_____—___——_———__————_—-——'—'—— TMOTHER'S VIEW OF SCOUTING Here is what the mother of a Chi- Jeggo scout told his scoutmaster over telephone one day: : ! “Mr, Scoutmaster, I am very much |disappointed in the scout organization. {1’ thonght my boy would, be changed completely after he joined the scouts. T thought he would attend to his ichores’ chieerfiilly and be more thought-| [ful of nis mother.” The scoutmaster at the next troop imeeting gave a talk to his boys con- lcerning hoime duties, and noticed that ithe boy in question did not seem to 'pay much attention to him, if he heard iwhat was sald. = “I heard yriu all right,” said the jscout. “But if I should help at home ithe other fellows will find & vut and ‘call me sissie.” “Will the other fellows stand by you when you need a friend? Is it not your mother that you go to for a lit- itlé change for the movies,-and when you want a favor granted? Why not return some of these by helping Yier whenever you can? If_you cannot stand a little chaff from The boys you are not a brave scout, are yon?”’ The Ind went away, and. not long thereaftér the mother again tele- phoned the scoutmaster and aid: “l do not know what you said or how you accomplished it, but my boy ds completely changed since 1 spoke to tyou last. T have never had to talk to him a sccond time ubout his work and he i1s most courteous and thoughtful of me.” HEADQUARTERS TROOFS HIKE. How would you like to start a hike with an envelope containing sealed jorders, knowing that all the rest of yYour troop were going to do the smme {thing? Euch. envelope gave instruc- tions to follow a route according to photographs of landmarks, supple- imented hy compass. directions. and ‘each scout would thereby come to the ‘|spotywhere the troop was to have its jcampfire. “It'was in this way that the treasure {hunt of Troop No. 413 of the national |headquarters office began, and’ at the iend of the trail there were treasures rconsisting of kits for each of the suc- icessful scouts. A number of these .found within the kits their badges for iadvanced classifications - which they 'had earnec within' the month.

Thirty-three boys attended the first meeting of the Newsboys’ Troop of Scouts, composed of boys working for the Muskegon (Mich.) Chronicle, Scout Executive Charles D. Maddox { addressed the boys on “What a Scout ‘1s, and What Is Expected of Him.” Every ear was strained to hear his words. Every boy was held breathless as he was told what a big thing it is to be u scout, the meuning of the ten- dérfoot badge, and the fact that when business men see a boy wearing the scont badge they know that that boy will be a suc “No matter if you are a millionaire or the son of a labor- L ing man, you will never be 2 success in Jite unless you live up to the scout law, even If you are not a scout,” said the executive. THE l@\’ SCOUT'S BUSY LIFE. Montelair. N. J., scout headquarters reports over 500 visitors for week-ends at its wintee eamp site. In view of the fact that this camp is sixteen miles from council’ headquarters its extensive use is <ignificant. £ Nearly « thousand boy scouts, rep- resenting fifty troops, scoured Kansas City, Mo., for violations of the light and fuel orders.

Let's go! We're start- ing from Manila, the great picturesque, Americanized Oriental city, and will travel by automobile 200 miles to the north to Baguio, the summer capital of the Philippines, The trip can also be made by train. ‘We have ahead of us one of the most scenic, spectacular and thrilling auto- mobile trips in the world. We will have excellent roads all the way. The Philippines are, in fact, a paradise for autoists, possessing 3,500 miles of fine macadamized roads. E The first part of the trip is through typical small towns and then across the central plain of Luzon and through several rich and fertile provinces, where tropical vegetation is seen at its best. Here one is impressed with' the great agricultural wealth of the Philip- pines, which ‘represents one e | East's greafest producing areas, with thé advintage of immense ntural re- sources for the development of further production. It is regrettably true that even in the United States there is far from apy real understanding of the potentialities of the islands. ‘At some points rice fields, looking in ' the distance like the greenest of green lawns, stretch away as far as the eye can see. If you want .color, if you want to feel the romance and mystery of an Oriental twilight, pass this way as the red eyed sun at the end of the dying day is slowly sinking behind the unending expanse of green fields. Af first you cry out in ecstacy at the gorgeous scene. But as you ride along, your eyes fastened on the panorama of tints and colors, and with the im- penetrably black Oriental night com- ing on fast, you become enthralled. You no longer try to express your feel- ings. You cannot. You realize that those now fast changing, colorful master- pleces in the heavens and on the land- scape are pictures that ng man can ad- equately describe nor human hands du- plicate. So what's the use of trying} True, these are b#t impressions, but the traveloguer considers himself justi- fled in mentioning them, for they are a part of the trip to Baguio and return. Indeed, the gorgeous sunsets in all parts of the Phiiippines leave an im- pression on’ the mind of the tourist that 1s everlasting. We leave the palms and tropical folilage and enter the zone of rugged pine. We pass from the soft, incense laden air of the warm lowlands to the crisp, invigorating ozone of the tem- perate zone, all within 'a few hours’ time. g For mile after mile the road now fol- lows the tortuous course of & river, the road lying in the bottom or on the rocky sides of a granite canyon. The Philippinés are rich in hydro~ electric possibilities. This power is the cheapest power on ‘earth. And it s everlasting. Your. traveloguer is mei- ther a prophet nor t.‘ son of a proph- et, but he predicts that one day there will be innumerable Philippine govera- ment owned hydro-electric plants in this canyon we are now passing through. Think of the possibilities of | such a project! Today the trip from Manila to Bagulo is too expensive for the average Manila worker and his family, many of whom may Uve and dle without beholding the wdwudrous beauties of their own island of Luzon. Think of what 2 blessing it would be to Filipino mothers and. children to teel upon their fevered brows the cool, invigorating breezes of the mountain tops, now 80 near and yet so far! With the Philippine government owning its own electric railways and hydro-elee tric plants it would be possible te bring ” PICTURES OF THEIR BEAUTY AND STOR| COMING A MECCA FOR TOUR A PULAR WINTER R RT. | 8un;mnr Capital of the Philippines. the trip to Baguio within the means of hundreds of thousands of Filipinos. Not only is there sufficient power in this river to clectrify a line from Ma- nila to Baguio, but to operate the street railways of Manila, light the city and furnish power for manufac- turing concerns. But we have new arrived at Camp One. From this point the scenery rapidly changes as the elevation in- creases., We are traveling over the famous Benguet road, thé construction of which through the mountains is a most remarkable engineering triumph. At places the road is blasted out of the, solid granite, /Riding on the edge of a 100 foot precipice makes one feel like -~ “At times w-_ seemed perilously near the jumping off place.” hé is on the rim of the world. Some of the turns are so sharp it is impossible to see 20 feet ahead, and we seem to be perilously near the jumping off place. We wonder if it is safe to lean out and peer into the canyort far below, and w we do we are perfectly sat- isfied "'we ‘are fiirting with death. Yet the “trip " is 'a safe ‘one, providing our driver has better nerves than our own, All .too soon we reach the outskirts of ‘Baguio,” a’ city among the clouds, and are ratheér-surprised at the modern || city we find it to be. In ten years Ba- |guio has grown from a village of huts to the now justly famed mountain re- sort of the Philippines, sometimes call- ed the Philippine Simla. It is un- doubtedly destined some day to become large city. Bagujo ranges in elevation trom | 4,500 to 5,500 feet and is surrounded | practically on all' sides by high moun- tain ‘ridgés and “hogsbacks” towering into - thie; skies ‘at a ‘lieight of almost | 8,000 teet. " e Aside’ from the scenery, which is noteworthy, the great blessing of Ba- guio 18'its temperate climate, which is indeed a godsend to thosé impoverish- ed by the tropical temperatures of the lowlands. Not only is the mountain alr rich in ozone, but it has been dem- onstrated to be extraordinarily free ‘from germs of. all kinds. Kach year during the hot season the school teachers of the entire archipela- g0 are enabled by the government to spend a month at the teachers’ camp in Baguio for recreation and confer- ence on school work. American army officers and their families also go to Bagulo for the hot months. - And now that your traveloguer has you in Baguio, he believes he will leave you there, for there are many interest- ing side trips to take, and, besides, Baguio is the most delightful place for a vacation in the eatire Orient.
