e “ARE UNDERTAKING 'ABSOLUTE REALISM. . Genuineness and absolute realism are two factors in the enormous suc- cess which Cecil B. DeMille has at- tained as a motion picture director. These qualities are present in “Male and Female,” Mr. DeMille’s latest Paramount-Artcraft picture, which was adopted from Sir James M. Barrie’s famous play, “The Admirable Crichton” and will again be on view at the Elko tomght, also Saturday matinee and evening. It is Mr. De- Mille’s desire that every property or furnishing used in his productions be the best that can be bought. Proper- ties used in his latest picture total thousands of dollars in value. One toilet set alone cost five hundred dol- lars, and the gorgeous gowns worn by Gloria Swanson, Lila Lee, and Bebe Daniels, who are in the cast, are worth a handsome price. The story of- Crichton, the butler in the family of English nobles who ‘was wrecked with his master’s yacht- ing party at sea and became their leader, has long delighted thousands. Under the master hand of Cecil B. DeMille it is a screen masterpiece. Thomas Meighan plays the leading role, and Theodore Roberts, Ray- mond Hatton and Guy Oliver are in- ehdd in the cast.
