[\ NEWS OF THE THEATRES. CITY BLOCK ENTIRE i BUILT FOR FILM X Rex—Commencing Sunday Matinee 2:30 “New York City. Studying the habits of drug fiends ‘s not a very edifying occupation,’ but . in order to give a true conception of .one of the four characters which she wiil portray in “Eyes of Youth,” her next big offertng, Clara Kimball Young has found, jt - -pecessary to study intimately the ways and habits of addicts to morphine, heroin and other drugs. In “Byes of Youth” the heroine, in. gazing thru a crystal into the future, finds that if she marries one of her suitors she will be later an outcast and gradually forced into the lower levels of society, finally becom- ing a drug user. In the play, this deecent into the life of the slums is shown with Miss Young in the lead~ ing role, but as the time approached for the portrayal of the scenes it was found that no one about the Garson Studios, where the play is being film- ed, numbered a drug addict among his list of acquaintances, and there- fore it would have been a matter of more or less guess work as to just how an unfortunate would behave. Albert Parker, directing the “Eyes of Youth,” was busily scouring the city in search of a drug user who would come to the front and give the proper information when Miss Young decided that the best way to find out would be to study drug users at first| ‘hand. To that end the services of Detectice O'Brien, probably the best known expert on the drug traffic in California, were. enlisted and, with Miss Young, several of the most no- torifous drug users in Los Angeles were visited, including men and wo- men in all walks of life, with the result that when Miss Young por- trays this phase of the story “Eyes of Youth” her work will be educating as well as enlightening, because it will be based truthfully apon the manners and customs of the unfort- unate people she visited. In one of the last scenes of “‘Eyes of Youth,” an entire New York block was built upon the twenty thousand feet of flooring space at the Garson Studios, Inc. The Forty-sixth street side of the Ritz-Carlton was produced in the most infinite detail. It is that part of the story which shows the heroine, who has been an outcast by her husband and has be- come a drug addict, haunting the en- trance of the big hotel and taking a peculiar delight in watching the well-dressed women enter and leave the cafe. This great set was designed by John M. Voshell, of the Garson stu- dios, and before the ponderous mas- onry was erected, it was necessary to comstruct concrete supports be- Teath the stage to hold the tremen- dous weight upon it. An entire street was laid and paved upon the stage, with cement sidewalks, street lights, even to the manholes in the side- walks being practical, and the corner fire plugs. The designers worked from several hundred dollars’ worth of photographs taken of the Ritz- . Carlton combined with a practical knowledge of its architecture. When completed, the hotel front covered a frontage of more than four hundred feet of practical stone facing and in marquise of beautifully wrought iron. The. scene showed the arrival of guests at the hotel cafe during-a vio- lent winter rain storm, the rain be- ing driven at high pressure by a high wind. At one time during the shoot- ing of the scene, more than twenty automobiles and limousines were up in front of the hotel, while the occupants, clad in evening clothes, were hurvied through the downpour into the broad doorways. The result, as will be shown in “Eyes of Youth,” defies detection, and so carefully has this big scene been worked out that it is absolutely im- possible to tell that it was done upon an interior stage in a California stu- dio instead of on Forty-sixth street. Miss Young makes her appearance - here in “Eyes of Youth”, commenc- ing Sunday matinee at 2:30. DANCED TO FAME She danced her way into the hearts of the people—a little slip of a girl who a few very short years ago was totally unheard of, but who now ranks with the greatest screen and stage luminaries. She is Constance Binney, who ap- pears at the Elko theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, in her second Realart production, “The Stolen Kiss,” and in thidk whimsical story by Lucille Van Slyke, Miss Binney shows a little of the marvelous danc- ing which started her on the road to fame. REX THEATRE TODAY— “PAID IN ADVANCE” Is a story true to life in every de- tail depicting one of the many life experiences incident to gold mining camps. B, A forced decision between two bitter evils is' a situation that con- fronts Joan Gray, daughter of a Ca- nadian fur trapper after she has been lured from her home-to the distant town of Dawson City, Klon- dike, by Gold Dust Barker, owner of a hell hole of iniquity. Barker, on a visit to Canada was attracted by her beauty. He offered her a position as a nurse and told her father an expert fur buyer was needed in the com- munity. Her father died during the long journey, but Joan, immediately disillusioned as to why she had been sent. to Dawson City was forced by Barker to choose between himself and the crowd which frequent his dive. 2 e Dorothy Phillips 1s -ckm¢ as Joan Gray, and-her portrayalyof the part of the girl who is forced'to offer her- self at auction to the highest bidder and is won by a drunkard miner, known as the Cur, is superb. The pic- ture was adapted:by Allen J. Hollu- bar, the director, from a story of the Canadian northwest and Klondike, written by James Oliver Curwood, famous for his narratives of that re- glon. Priscilla Dean, a Universal star, is one of the many notable players who |have been cast in support of Miss Phillips. Others are Joseph Gerard, Lon Chaney, William Stowell, Frank Brownlee and Bill Buress.

Bar- bara, the heroine, is a convent girl, in love with love, who marries a man v!hom she knows only slightly and who is a rascal with a wife and ‘child living. When the real man comes along with an offer of his heart and thand, Barbara cannot accept him. But, by a series of dramatic circum- stances, her troubles 'are dispelled and happiness visits her. Miss Clayton is supported by a capable cast, headed by Harrison |, Ford.
