REX SUNDAY. Famous native dance in Griffith icture. lm:Dum:ing one’s way into the l.:eavt of a man is an ordinary experience for a graceful woman, if fiction writ- ers are to be believed, but Mary, the ward of Old Thomas, a fisherman widely known in the South Sea Isl- - ands, danced her way to the knowl- of which one, of two young men’s heart, she wanted to occupy. This dance iafone o}f‘ t}ln: t::'th ft:- einating scenes from the photo- drama gm'mim:';iml of D. W. Griffith, entitled “The Idol Dancer,” which will be the attraction at the Rex the- .atre, beginning Sunday. VAUDEVILLE AT GRAND SATURDAY ONLY As announced last week, Vaude- ville from the new affiliation with the Western ‘Manager's association of Chicago, will be the feature offer- ing at.the Grand theatre, Saturday only. The bill for this week includes, Stanley and McConnell, comedy en- tertainers; the “Two Wrens” in bits of Scotch and Irish; Perry Taylor who is a nifty conjurer who makes a lot of fun out of his work, and Les Arados who are called “The Demon and the Clown.” The bill last week was very pleas- ing to the patrons, and it is ex- pected that the bill for this Satur- day will be equally as good. «REMODELING HER HUSBAND” WAS AN HILARIOUS JOB Would you marry a handsome flirt on the chance of reforming him? Dorothy Gish does in her latest screen comedy, “Remodeling Her Husband,” which is on the bill at the Elko the- atre for tonight. Friend Husband was an innocent youth, but he had a weakness for pretty feminine faces. ‘Which s why he got himself into a mess with the -looking manicure lady and the girl with the black bag. After his bride, tearful and heart-broken, went home to mother, he came to with a thud. But when it came to repenting and forgiving, he found her like adamant. And he was forced to desperate meas- ures in order to melt her hardened heart. It would spoil your pleasure to tell you what they were. Lillian Gish, the star’s talented gister directed this picture and James Rennie is the leading man. The film is a Paramount Artcraft and one of the liveliest of the Gish comedies. REX—FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. ‘With a story, star and production that bids to set the pact for screen attractions for months to come, “Pas- sions Playgrounds,” adapted from the famous story of Monte Carlo, “The Guests of Hercules,” by C. N. and 'NEWS OF THE THEATRES the ways of the world, Miss MacDon- ald takes the part of Mary Grant who leaves the convent upon receipt of her inheritance to make her way to Monte Carlo. Here, Mary becomes involved in the schemes of a set of society bleeders whose efforts to en- snare her prove to be replete with thrills. Perhaps no other fictionized work dealing - with the attempts of titled personages and wealthy men and women from all parts of the world to stake their fortunes and _titles upon the chance-devices at Monte Carlo has met with the popularity of the “Guests of Hercules.” HAROLD McGRATH’S STORY, “THE LUCK OF THE IRISH” Manager Harding of the Grand the- atre has made arrangements to pre- sent Allan Dwan’s newest produc-| tion, “The Luck of the Irish,” as the chief attractich for his theatre on Sunday and Monday. The story is a visualization of the book of the same name written by Harold MacGrath. It is replete with rgmance and ad- venture, bewitching@scenes of the Orient, and furious fist fights. It is full of pep and punch, love and jn- frigue. In producing the story for the screen, .it was necessary to build more than forty huge sets, exact rep- licas of New York streets, the streets of Naples, a portion of St. Mark’s Cathedral in Venice, a section of the city of Cairo, interiors and exteriors of various sections of Singapore and many other scenes of equal size and elaborateness. A private yacht and an ocean liner figure prominently in the filming of “The Luck of the Irish.” i . James Kirkwood and Anna Q. Nils- son enact the prineipal roles and are supported by a selected cast of well- known screen and stage artists. BESSIE BARRISCALE : * AS “VILLAGE” ARTIS' Not only does Bessie Barriscale play the part of a Greenwich Village sculptress in “A Woman Who Un- derstood,” her Robertson-Cole Super- ifor picture, which is opening Friday at the Elki theatre for a stay of two days, but she done a smock and act- ually “sculps.” 1n this atmosphere Madge Graham the sculptress, played by Miss Bar- riscale, lives until there comes into A. M. Williamson, will be shown at the Rex theatre, commencing Friday. The infinite opportunities for pic- turization of the famous gambling story induced Katheryn MacDonald, “the American beauty,” to select it as the starring vehicle for her latest release under her contract with First National Exhibitors’ circuit. Despite her remarkable past successes, Miss MacDonald has never been seen in a picture that equals “Passions Play- ground” for dramatic moments. Snared by Society Bleeders.

IF YOU WANT THRILLS Buck Jones, a new star peqsonted by William Fox in a story of western ranch life, written by Harold Titus, and entitled “The Last Straw,” will be the program at the Grand the- atre tomorrow. At the outset it can be said that Buck Jones, by his mar- velous stunts of horsemanship, made for himself numerous admirers and earned the right to be called “the new sensation of the screen.” All the thrills that one could ex- pect from a western picture were present in ‘“‘The Last then some. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER plays opposite the star in the role of Nance Haws, who marries the black- smith, village on Little Thunder Mountain, Kentucky. Whipple aspires to the hand of the daughter of an aristocrat, greatly reduced in circumstances.

He is.an actor who not only possesses nerve and courage, but is equdlly skilful with the gun and lariet. Vivian Rich, the leading woman, is charming, clever and daring in the extreme. REX THEATRE— LAST SHOWING TODAY Monroe Salisbury, the Universal star, who has entrenched himself firmly in the favor of admirers of the photodramatic art, appeared at the Rex Theatre last night in his newest release, “His Divorced Wife.” The story, from the pen of Elmer Elliott Peake and adapted to the screen by F. McGrew Willis, was di- rected by Douglas Gerrard.
