. Bemidji ‘has ‘been !omally enlm- ed as an ally in the battle between . 1arge motion picture producing con cerns ‘intent upon monopolizing branches of the industry, and. the . "sociated First Natlonal Pictures, Inc,, n. organization of owners of nearly ‘six thousand theatres, and promin i ‘gtars and directors: who stand for un- hampered development in prodneuon and competitive ibiting, accord- ing-'to a meggage elved: today. by Mr. Brinkman, of the Rex; ‘theatre. The message was: official notification. that his application for a sub-franch- ise in Associated First National Pic- tures, Inc., had been accepted. . Mr. Brinkman, in making the an- nouncement, said that it will give motjon;picture patrons of this city an opportunity. to see productions better than hau ever been produced be- "'l‘ho lrnngemonu under which pictures will be:produced; for Associ- ated First National,” he said, ‘‘are ideal for gaining the.yery:best screen nl;actlons in the history.of .the in- .Qustry. As ‘anexAmple of what is ible, Marshall: Neilan, probably the greatest director in motion pic- tures, has produced his na-tut suc- . cesses when -he was working for hjm- self, that is, when there was no one to hamper him by ~holding purse strings, ‘directing settings, etc.’ It was ‘under. such: conditions that he produced ‘The River's End,’ “and ‘Don’t - Ever. Marry.” He is but one of the top notchers in the film world who have signed contracts to work exclusively in the future for this as- sociation ‘of independent thutru, of which'I am now a mem! Mr. Brigkman explained that un- der the arrangements the association takes no part in the production of the pictures, that the directors and the stars_are equall lndawndont inthe selection of the stories they will por- tray, the way they will‘do it, and, in fact, are the sole judges of the entire process up to the completed produc- tion. They are assured of a reason- able price for any production which does not fall below a certain stand- ard;:according to him; a price based upon the actual cost of the production plus enough to emcourage them to their best efforts. Mr. Brinkman was unable to state fous young womanhood, an; lt is, then 3 ‘that Cupid laughs heartiest, for he, of all persons, knew just how it was ‘Mips Talmi ddal role” with customary ease, and her splendid artistry raises the pic- ure to rare.romantic hellhu. Back ¢ Her is'a splendid compapy, a story. of ° upuv‘tlng charm, nnd direction of the mzheu drder. P Liasbes Fe¥yi OAEEY’SI'EWMLE A photoylay unusual enough to lm it above the average screen offering, and thrilling enough to keep'theatre goers interested through -every..foot of the picture, has been introduced by Universal in Harry Carey’s latest starring vehicle, ‘‘Bullet Proof.” It is from a ltory by John Frederick, and was shown at the Rex Theatre 1ast’ night for the first . time here, showing again today. The plot centers about an acolyte, Pierre, 'who leaves the' church-and forgets his early rellslous “training when he learns that his father has been killed by a notorious gunman, Heé! pledges himself to avenge his par- ent. On a mountainside, at night, Pierre comes upon a girl held fast by a land- slide. ‘'While he is trying the huge mass of dirt a. further down the slope, couple completely. Both are mirac- ulously saved, but each thinks the other dead until they meet unexpect- edly, several years later. .'In the climax:of the story, Pierre ! urderer and ful- fills the promise: vengeance made his dying parent. -He also starts life anew with the girl he had never ceas- ed ta love from the/ rét time he saw her. The drighnmy of the ltory. and the skill with which Lynn Reymnolds,|De the ‘director, produced it for- screen, have made ‘“Bullet Proo! (pieture of unusual-merit. Support: ing Harry Carey are Kathleen OCon: nor, Beatrice :Burnham, -J. Farrell’ McDonald, Robert McKim, Bob ' Mc- Kenzie, Fred Gamble, and a host of other capable players. today exactly what:date the isub- ] - ‘franchise will become operative here, but said that in the meantime all pro- ductions of the new exhibitor organ-|: ization are available tor showlng nt this theatre. ;- st AL m 'NEW: PHOTOPLAY. She/ wm .appear at the Rex to- one of the most versatile of all fem- inine screen stars, but her remarkable talents in this direction have never ‘been shown to such good advantage as in ‘her latest Select prod_ucuon. ““She Loves and Lies.” In this adaptation of Wilkie (}o lins’ story, of the same name, Mii Talmadge portrays three separate and distinct ‘characters, each. being. of a .different social caste, age and physic- 'al appearance. Not only does the star make her portrayals realisjic, but she makes them convineing. It-will be remembered that Wilkie| Collins has his ‘principal character go 'disguise herself as to completely|: make her own husband believe that she is another person, something that .may be easily done on the printed pages of fiction, but not so easy of ac- complishment in real life or on stage or screen. How Miss Talmadge “gets away with it” {s but one of the many unusual ‘things in ‘“She Loves and Lies.” As in all of this star’s previous Se- léct productions, the talent surround- ing her is-of the highest calibre Con- way Tearle is leading man, and the balance of the cast is composed of well known stage and screen favor- ites. The techniaal.work; such as settings, Hghting and effécts, are just a little ahead of .the High standards now expected by patrons of ‘the pho- toplay # Norma ’rhlmadge is. known ‘to be day and ‘Sunday.” AT THE REX THEATRE. COMMENCING SUNDAY | Dan Cupid has sought in"/ many ways to bring film lovers together,|. but never before.in the history of mo- tion pictures has“he resorted to the disguise of old age, in.the matching of youthful hearts.. ‘this unioue sityaticn. .arises- in “Ske Loves and: Lies,” Select's ro- mantic Jpecial, starring Norma' Tal- madge, ke In. order to aid the man’ of her choice, who is in, finanecial straits, Marie ‘Callender, portrayed by Miss Talmadge, finds.it necessary to marry him. But she cannot -put the propo- sition up to him boldly, for she is aware that he- will not. marry her for money alone. So she conceives the idea of disguising herself as an old woman. ' In this way she can make him feel that it iS purely a mat- ter of convenience ‘and that she is willing to aid him because he at one time rescued her:from a fire, without knowing who she was. The young man, Ernest Lismore, portrayed by Conway, Tearle, goes through with the bargain and then the inevitable happens. He meets Marie out of her disguise and falls in love with her, but he is too hon- orable to speak of divorce to his pre- . -sumably aged wife, although the lat- ter'suggests it to him. Thus entered Cupid, he mixes the trands of fate until it is impossible 5 the dudience to imnglne what will happen ‘néxt.
