IS AN EXCEPTION .. In “Blind Youth,” the National spicture feature, “which appears at the Grand theatre tonight, last times, the hero is an exception to the rule that every ‘mother thinks Jer own goose a swan. 4 Shortly after he comes to man's estite he is cast off by his mother. But other women seem to like him. ""7he struggles that beset the path “of a young artist form the theme for the story. His marriage to a model in his wild student days, the .subsequent strayings of blind youth . .and ultimate reduction to & park “bench in New York, then true love .-and the awakening—so the photo- play goes. . «“Blind Youth” was adapted by XKatherine Reed from the play of the _same name by Lou Tellegen and Wil- . Jard Mack. Walter "McGrail and * Leatrice Joy are the featured play- -ers. ; «“Patty” Arbuckle in ‘Camping «Out” is also at the Grand tonight. MY TADY’S ‘Maurice Tourneur has picturized a thrilling mystery romance in “My Lady’s Garter,” the photoplay at the Elko tonight and Tuesday. This is .an adaption of Jacques Futrelie’s -novel of the same name. Interest in the plot s piqued by the -sdact that for a good part of the time the hero figures as the villain and vica versa. The central figure is ““The HMawk”, a mnotoricus interna- tional crook who has topped off a record for daring crimes by purloin- ing the historical jewelled garter of the original Countess of Salisbury. Detectives camp on his trail, and in the chase are imvolved an American railroad magnate; his pretty daugh- terd and a weak-minded poet. Suspi- cions point to a certain Bruce Cal- ‘houn, who mysteriously appears in the neighboracod, as “The Hawk,” ‘but the subsequent thrilling develop- ments indicate that things are not what they seem. Wyndham Standing is his usual suave self as Calhoun.

Itisa powerfully dramatic story of a great love born of tragedy. As a book it gripped ‘the interest, of millions of readers. As a picture it is-even more vivid ‘and pulsating. ~Enacted by a distinguished cast inclnding Naomi Childers, Milton Sills, W. Lawson Butt, and Alec B. Framcis. It’s a Goldwyn picture. GIRL OUT-GENERALS CLEVER CATTLE KING “The Flame of Hellgate,” in which Beatriz Michelena opened yesterday at the Rex theatre for a stay of two days, is a thrilling story of the great outdoors, with Miss Michelena in the role of a girl who goes out- side the law after a cattle king, who is murderer of her father, has made it impossible to obtain justice. The picture, which is a Robertson- Cole Superior, made at the Michelena studios, abounds in adventurous and romantic situations. One of the most interesting relates how the girl out- law plots to obtain the election of an honest man as.sheriff, to replace the sycophant who has been placed in office by the cattle king. 5 Allowing herself to be bound, she directs a raid of her’men. through the village. Page, the man she sires to make sheriff is’forwar} and appears just in ‘time to “save” her, while the Ilick-spittle sheriff doesn’t show up ul all the danger is past. By such, ol rness the girl out-generals the corrupt ‘“‘boss” of the valley, and has hthi tried and con- victed of her father's.murder. Last time tonight.

During the interval a service will be cop- ducted in the venerable Dutch charch of Delfshaven, and & popular coneert of American and Dutch sacred music will be given in the cathedral of 8t. Lawrence. This edifice; recently re- stored, is one of the most stately and jmpressive in the Netherlands. It is replete with historic mementoes, and as.it seats some five:thousand hearers one may jutige what impression this function may make both on American and Duteh delegates, It will be the crowning event in this series.” On’the preceding’ Sundays devotional services have been arranged to be addressed ‘{by ‘eminent ‘American:pastors in, the anclent Scots’ church of Rotterdam-—< the-church of the exiled: Covenanters banished by Charles II-—-and i the still more venerable English reformed church in the Bagynhof,i;Amsterdam.- The latter is assoclated not.only with Pligrim history but ‘with ‘the curious and _heroic stories of :the Reformed | Church of America and the Reformed Church in the United States. - It is ex- pected that one of the évents of the Amsterdam visit” will be' the'-unveil- ing of memorial winde 3 No doubt also the plan to hive a fitting memorial erected ‘in memory of the Pilgrims atDelfshhven will be car- ried-ont. We can scarcely exaggerate what America, and indeed”the world,’ owes to Holland. And that debt is due to Holland not merely through the Piigrips_but through the Dutch influ- ence in New York and through the influence of the Reformed Churchin the United States still further south. But the main subject of this sympa- thetic Dutch celebration ‘will be the Pilgrims’ heritage—and that is a mar- veloys one. The Pligrims loved liberty before they sought refuge in Holland; are cocdially invited to be ‘present. The speakers and the delegates ‘will be the special guésis ‘of the Leyden commission at the houses of private cltizens, and they will be Vnednd with enthugiasm and thelr visit hetd in high honor.

All this will be, and ought to be, borne in mind when Amstendami asks memorial windows to be placed in the Bagynhof church in memory of the Pilgrins and as a token of appreciation tljnm‘ those Re- formed churches of America that are indebted for their very existence to the munificence and. sympathy of ancient Amsterdam. Rotterdam's Special: Claim, But it is Rotterdam that needs the more distinctive memorial of the present hour. For Delfshaven, the classic spot from -which the Speed- well started, is now the most flour- ishing part of the Rotterdam port; and in Rotterdam within the next few years there will be an enormously in- creased percentage of Amerigan ves- sels. The present trying condition of affairs has only to right ftself to a sndall degree and that Dutch port will filled with American shipping. For, | years America must feed Europe, and the vast commercial relations which this will bring about will remain for generations and grow, long after the initial necessities of the situation have passed away. For the American sallor in Rotterdam there must be a Sallors’ Rest, with modern equip- ment. It is proposed to.call it the Pligrims’ Rest, “Speedwell.”" This will be the most worthy me- morial that America can ratse. It will keep alive the story of the Pilgrims; show how the great republic appre- clates all that Holland has done; and it will provide for the social and spir- ftual well-being of America’s young sailors, giving them a home and safe- guarding them amid' the allurements and perils-of a foreign port.
