VIGILANTES AT REX i TONIGHT AND SUNDAY - There have come many wild and almost unbelieveable stories of phen- ominal finds of gold from Nevada, California and Alaska, out of the ‘pockets’’ of which, many men have ;taken many millions. Yet, with all these extravagant yarns, none can .duplicate the actual facts that sur- rounded the “strikes” that were an- “mounced in the days of the great '49 " rush to California, when Sutter’s Mill @eemed to be the Mecca toward which men and women, vagabonds and criminals, preachers and sinners were struggling from all corners of the Zlobe. It is the story of the gather- ing of this motley throng that is graphically written in pictures in “The Vigilantes,” to be shown-at.the Rex theatre tonight and Sunday. On unquestionable authority, stor- des are told of individuals who took from $10,000 to $15,000 out of the ‘bosom of Mother Earth in a week or 80; one man gathered $12,000 in six days and another $8,000 in a single day. There can be little surprise that the refuse of the human world crowded the western trails toward sunset upon hearing such tales. Still less astonishment at the fact that it should be the offscouring of the earth that predominated.” And, it was with such lawless and apparently ungov- ernable mob that the authorities of San Francisco were compelled .to grapple. ~° ‘The tragic story and the success .ot the famous “Vigilance Committee” ‘is told in the seven-reel film entil- ed “The Vigilantes.” Those who have ' rend Stewart Edward White’s “‘Grey Dawn,” will appreciate the unhind- ‘ered action, red-blooded courage, un- trammeled vice and K heart-rending ‘tragedies this reliable portrayal :( early San Francisco vividly pic- . tures. RACING TRICKS SHOWN “ 'There are tricks of the trade, even in such a lightning-speed business as - automobile racing. Several of them _are shown in the new Wallace Reid picture, “Excuse My: Dust,” which is the attraction at the Elko theatre last . times tonignt. In the photoplay Mr.] Reid has the role of “Toodles” Wald- ‘en, manager of the ‘“Darco” agenoy and their chief racing driver. His chiet rival, the driver for the ‘Far- got” concern, in a desperately con- tested road race, attempts to put him out of the running by crowding him over into the ditch on a turn. But ‘Wallie, in the part of “Toodles,” foils the “Fargot” man. By a quick turn of the wheel, he plunges into the rear of the “Fargot’ ’and renders it instantly hors de combat. At the ~same moment another “Darco,” pilot- ed by “Toodles” boss, roars past to ‘victory . The race is only one of the excit- ing features of ‘“Excuse My Dust.” .-Ann Little is the lpading woman and /the cast includes such favorites as "Theodore Roberts, Tully Marshall - and Guy Oliver. You should help to circulate as many pictu make vivid impressions, attract attention to us an all of which is good publi |PROGRAM AT ' PERFORMS AMAZING FEAT Houdini, the famous self-liberator, in a thrilling screen melodrama, “Terror Island,” will be the attrac- tion at the Elko theatre for three days commeneing tomorrow, Sunday. To save ‘some sunken treasures of spips that have been sent to the bot- tom forms one motive of the tale. But there is, in addition, South Sea Island - adventures——enough thrills, it is declared, to make the ordinary adventure picture seem tame in com- parison. -« Above all, Houdini himself in un- derwater stunts that draw upon his exceptional powers to the last de- gree is the outstanding feature of the picture. He escapes from a closely bound safe while under water, fights 2 smashing battle with a diver on fhe bed of the ocean, and performs other hair-raising feats that are declared to surpass anything he has ever done on the stage. Lila Lee is the leading woman for Houdini. James Cruze directed the picture, whicK is a Paramount Art- craft. The Elko orchestra plays at Sunday evening performances. i VAUDEVILLE TONIGHT ] AT GRAND THEATRE Esperance & Willoughby, one of Vaudeville’s favorite song and dance teams, in a “Jaszy Song and Dance Review,” and Charley Van singing late popular songs which include the popular “Dardanella” and “Daddy”, in connection with the picture pro- gram, Peggy Hyland in “Faith”, and Flannigan and Edwards who have brought, to life the ‘“Hallroom Boys" will appear in the two-part comedy, “The Chicken Hunters,” - will be the program at the Grand theatre tonight dvlth a change of program for Sgn- mens's‘mfi Opening with a matinee at 2:30, three acts of vaudeville and Wm. §.

THE “BRUTE BREAKER” AT BEX MONDAY NIGHT Kathryn Adams sharing stellar honors with Frank Mayo in “The Brute Breaker,” their latest Univer- sal presentation, left her home town in St. Louls to go to Yukon, but she got only as far as the film verslon“ot “The Shootin’ of Dan McGroo,” «ab- ert W. ‘Service’s classic of the north.

Growing chicks that are kept closely confined need much greater attention along all lines than those t have range. See that they have plenty of green feeds that have not wilted down to almost the decaying point and that the yards are kept sweet. Caulling also is more essential when chicks are closely confined. e Suoscribe for The Floneer. res as possible of Bemidji, for they d keep Bemidji in people’s minds, Bemidji Schools Visualized Your Own Schools! i i /depicts the roie of Annette, a girl of METHODIST Sunday morning the pastor will preach on.‘“*What Happened at Pen- tecost.” Service at 10:30.
