TOM MIX Tom Mix has led a consistent life, 1n that his screen adventures are but a continuation, and in some instances a transcript, of his actual experien- Aate:® This Fox star, so aptly called the “daredevil of the screen,’” young though he is, has crowded into his zle:rs many times their normal due 1ife. When can one find a_ character ore virile, energetic and indepen- ent than Buck Marston, the “One Quarter Apache” of the latest Will: fam Fox production, “Desert Love,” which opens at the Rex theatre to- day? Yet Mix, who plays that part with such fine spirit and realism, has a background of adtuallity that matches this fictitious character. He was born in the southwest, the cradle of many a dauntless spirit— the southwest, with its sunburnt plains, obstinate streams; -rock-rim- med deserts, and picturesque Indian trails.. The iron grip of the law has subdued the section, but in those days lawlessness wae rife, life and buck- shot- were cheap. His early training was consequently such as developed all latent virility. ‘He was successfully a deputy sher- iff, state and national enforcement ofticer, and a member of the famous Texas Rangers. He took part in the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion in China, and joined the Rough Riders under Colonel Roosevelt during the Spanish-American conflict. His friendehip with Roosevelt was clinched when Mix acted as the Col- onel’s guide in a hunting trip, and lasted unweakened until Roosevelt’s death. In all these episodes of his life Mix faced danger unafraid, conscious of Rhis great strength and skill, in the same fashion as he faces it in the Fox pictures. A series of productions where his genius assisted itself ever more emphatically has made his name a synonym for daring. In addition to his stunts, he is capable of genuine acting that takes him oufof the class of mere thrillers and places him high in the scale of artists. Mix doubtless owes a great deal of his success to the spirit with which he enters upon the work. He believes in intense training and whole-heart- ed application. He throws all his en- ergy into the performance of his task, with such splendid results as abound in “Desert Love.” “FLAME OF HELLGATE” HAS LESSON OF PITY That it pays to be kind and merci- ful is forcefully shown in “The Flame of Hellgate.” The Beatriz Michelena picture wnich will be seen on the screen of the Rex theatre starting next Sunday. Miss Michelena’s new- est picture is a- thrilling idyl of the great mountains, made in her own studio for release by Robinson-Cole. In the icture Miss Michelena plays the part of Star Dowell, daughter of an old pionéer who is ruthlessly mur-| dered by the cattle king who domin- ates the valley below. Only one gun-; man, 2 trusty henchman of the cat- tle king, knows who did the deed. In the hour of great need which comes to this half-breed henchman, his master, who thinks him fatally wounded, and who is angered because of the gun-man’s failure, leaves him to die. It is Star Dowell who takes the half-breed in and saves his life. Then, in her moment of need, he comes to 'NEWS OF THE THEATRES her rescue and gives her evidence as 'to who was the murderer of her fa- ther.. TOM MOORE AT GRAND SATURDAY Tom Moore in “‘One of the Finest,’” newest of his' Goldwyn pictures to be shown at.the Grand theatre on Saturday only, plays the role of a traffic policeman. Now no.man hold- ing that responsible position ever went through a week without an ad- venture, and as more than a few weeks of Larry Hayes’ life are de- picted on the screen it goes witnout saying that his adventures are many. Chief of them all, and the one that sets the unique plot unfolding, con- cerns a rebuke administered by Office Hayes to a society girl motoring thru the park with a silk-hatted escort. They are speeding when the traffic cop gallops up and orders them to slow down. The haughty stare ot the girl and the .insolance of tne man bring about a goodhumored reply from the policeman, which is con- strued as impertinence, and Larry Hayes is reduced in rank as a resuit. part Hank Mann comedy will also be shown. DOROTHY DALTONIN .. .. UNUSUAL ADVENTURE Alice, when she went “thru the looking glass,” never encountered as thrilling adventures as befall pretty Dorothy Dalton in ‘“The Dark Mir- ror,” the new Thomas H. Ince picture in which she is coming to the Elko tonight and Saturday. The story, which was adapted by E. Magnus Ingleton from Louis Jo- seph Vance’s popular novel, concerns a society girl who greatly resembles a certain belle of the underwaorld. When the latter disappears, follow- ing a murder, the heiress s mistaken for her and is kidnapped. This leads to a series of thrilling adventures that finally end happily.’ Huntley Gordon heads a good sup- porting cast. The picture is a Para- mount Artcraft and will be accom- panied by a special musical program. A Briggs comedy “City Dude” will also be screened. » SCREEN BEAUTY ELECTED QUEEN OF CARNIVAL Ora Carew, well known screen star who plays an important part in “Blind Youth,” a National picture which opens a 2 day engagement at the Grand theatre next Sunday re- cently was the recipient of a coveted honor, when she was chosen queen of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses, gne of;the big festival events of Southefn California.
