Edith Watts - Mumford thought so when she wrate the gay stage comedy “Sick Abed.” ‘And Wal- lace Reid, who stars in -the screen version of the play, makes the ‘“mis- understood”” lady such ,a - humorous figure that in the end she decides to go out and get herself understood. The picture will be shown for the 1ast times at the Elko theatre tonight. Mr. Reid has the role of Reginald Jay, who unwittingly becomes ‘the star witness at a divorce suit in which a close pal is fnvolved. . To, avoid testifying agaimstliis friend,” Wallie plays sick and ha: mself surround- ed with an imposing retinue of quack doctors, day-and night nurses, stetho- scopes, saxophones and other para- phernalia. "~ 'He is said to be a-most amusing invalid. ' Bebe Daniels is the pretty nurse. The picture is a Paramount Arteraft and was directed by Sam Wood. Mack Sennett’s latest two-part comedy is on the program also special Jmusical program. STAR. ON HORSEBACK. LEAPS OVER BROXKEN BRIDGE ABOVE CHASM Anita Stewart makes a startling, leap on horseback over a broken brige above a chasm, taking great risks, in a scene from the First Na- tional special feature, “In Old Ken- tucky.” in which she stars. This great American classic will be shown at the| Rex theatre on July 4. The bridge is a draw over a ra- vine more than 100 feet deep. But the draw has been wrecked. In the story it is necessary for Miss Stew- art to leap over this broken draw to reach a man who is lying unconscious in the road far beneath her. where the villiain has placed a dymamite bomb beneath him. The horse. vpon which she is mounted at first refused to mr=ke the inmp, hut she starts acain, and sour- ring it to the ntmost speed. rides straight for the broken bridee. The harse rises to her snur and makes tho jump. Put it reaches the ooporite hide by ~mch a narrow margin ‘that hroken hits nf the bridge are kicked fram hepenth its feet into the chasm beneath. % Wise Stewart admits that she was terrihlv' frightened. but had every econfidence in the horce. as it ‘had made ereater leaps than the one tak- en in the picture, though never such a Asngernis one. L : This thrillings scene ~is clearly ghavwn in this nieture, which is the storv of an untntored girl, who after riskine her life for her friends in moiintaing. goes to the city where she wins laurels for herself. . REX'TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY Of special interest comes -the an. nouncement from the management o the Rex theatre, that arrangements have been consummated for the pre- senting for two days, commencing| . Tuesday of Joseph Arthur,s svectac- ular ;'melodrama,” “The Still Alarm” which is being.presented as a motion victure by the Pioneer film corpora- tion of New York city. Many a grandfather has been car- ried ‘back to his boyhood days by the romantic love scenes between Jack Manley, of the fire engine company, and his sweetheart, Eleanor Fordham, and remembers the scenes of his boy- hood as he watches the villainy of “Bird” or the great climax fire scenes that took place in the eighties when Harry Lacey packed the theatres throughout the country with the thousands who clamored to see this theatre of the spoken drama limitations, however, and’ the cular scenes had to be . the . possibilities of the stage; but.now we have a new form of expression—the motion picture— which has no limitations, where na- ture itself /.is reflected upon the screen, andiin the film interpretation ‘of human pathos, the romantic moments, angd_the smashing:climaxes are pre- sented with a bewildering reality. The burning:‘of the laboratories, the ex- plosion of the chemicals, the. falling walls,” and. the thrilling escape, are presented’in‘a most graphic manner. The home of Jack Manley’s sweet- has its most 8] confined night after.the signal wires have been cut at fire barn.; Jack knows nothing e girl's = danger . until there comes ‘“‘the still alarm”; then the call of the firemen; the maddening race for life by the fire department; the_ girl imprisoned behind walls of flame; rescue cut off as the stairway falls in ap of ruins; the crumbl- ing bale ‘Climax” follows climax until love'triumphs..

B MUSIC FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE | No Doubt That It Can Be Made a| " Means of Doing Them a Great Deal of Good. . ) i, Music as a means of achieving vi- tality and.health is a sealed bdok to many musicians. It has always been the idea that one must haye good héalth to be abie to study music to any advantage. Actually. the truth is rightly used and directed, music is one of the most_potent means we have to reconstruct many types of people. “'The nervous and the depré i the ones that most need musi¢.
