TOMORROW A man’s conscience’is a sensative In some men, when. they are " tempted, it comes to the surface of 4ts own accord to arrest their evil in- tentions from becoming acts; in oth- ‘ors, it is'lulled to<sleep- by the false -mecurity born of the enjoyment of ill- - { " gotten gains. Of the’latter type -is " Belcher, in Will Roger's new picture ' “Jeg' Call Me Jim.” Through forgery he has swindled ' 'Jtm Fenton’s pal of the fruits of his But Jim knows that a i man who 18 mean: enough -to profit . by stealing the genius’ of another may be induced ta confess his' wrong doing when about ‘to face the. judg- ' ment day. So he arranges for his " pal to “dle” and then takes place & scene which effectively bears out the wisdom of his belief. It is a picture in which laughs and heart throbs are g0 beautifully’ intermsingled’ that one is kept at a constant pitch of emo- tional enjoyment. BLACK ACE IS BRIGHT SPOT INA J DRAMA . Luke, a gigantic southern . negro, ¢’ is onme-of the queer characters: in «Phe Family Honor,” King Vidor's first picture for First National, which will be shown at the Rex theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday. Luke’s master is a gambler who runs a most notorious resort in the small town, and Luke himself is not adverse to a game of African golf. He is one of the “props” of the gambling joint’ and is ‘entirely in his element. ‘When a roulette wheel is introduc- ed; however, Luke’s eyes open in as- tonishment at the way it takes all the money of the village youths. "He ad- mits that “dat ar wheel hab got it all ober dem African golf balls for quick action.” > v & Luke, while a very black ace him- self, is one of the light, humorous spots in a thrilling romance of a ‘beautiful southern girl, whose bro- ther turns out to be a gambler and wastrel. The story- touches on'her love for the son of:the mayor of the town, whose father secretly owns most of the stock in the gambling dens. She has a hard struggle with poverty and ruin until.‘a surprising event occurs which changes her life. ——— GOOD ENTERTAINMENT The attraction at the Elko theatre tonight and Tuesday is ‘Let’s Be Fashionable,” the latest Thomas H. Ince picture starring Douglas Mac- Lean and Doris May and fully up to the standards for merriment which these youthful players have set in ‘their previous vehicles. A They have the roles of a newlywed pair, who rent a bungalow in a fash- jonable summer resort colony and make strenuous efforts to break into the swift society set. Being novices at the game, their attenrpts result in some humorpus complications that persist until the two decide’ that it is better to be happy than to be fash- jonable and settle ‘down to a life - more in keeping“with their pocket- ' ‘books. : “Let’s Be Fashionable” is-' the « work~of Mildréll' Considine and was directed by Lloyd Ingraham. 'Wade Bpteler, George Webb and Norris i :Johnson are in¢luded in the support- in¥ cast. It is'a. Paramount-Artcraft PLAYED FEW “SAFETY SHOTS” Men Who Have Won Success in Life's | Game Satisfied With Noth- ing but Victory. Walter Hagen, the golfer, . says: “Never play for a safety, but always try for the cup.” Kings in.other trades as well as in golf have found that it pays to “try for the cup,” remarks “Girard” in the, Philadelphia Press. Safety shots are often careless shots in business as in play. . Rockefeller played. six hole out 1 the oil world and he made a par and then some. Morgan hammered the ball smxlgh( for the flag and It flew above every bunker and sand pit in the financial world. Col. “Tom” Scott had no safety shots In his bag when dreaming out the Pennsylvania road system, nor did Franklin B. Gowén when he made his master stroke in buying the Reading’s s o ¢oal lands. 2 Theodore N. Vail, the telephone glant, never minced his game nor re- sorted to a half shot to save his face. He went out with the long stroke and came home to the final shot with & record card to his credit. The big-league teams play to win the game, not to win a compromise or tie the other.team. The great merchant nails his flag to the mast, says “damn the torpedoes,” and shoots straight at his’ target. "80 in business as on the links the adage should be: “Hold your head etill and play for the cup.” PICK EMPLOYEES WITH OAR_E Modern Business Men No Longer Rely on the “Hit-or-Miss” Method of Selection, There was a time when picking em- Ployees was a hit-and-miss job, a trial- and-error matter which few employers belleved could be corrected. This is the day of doing things right and the ‘modern employer is now selecting his associates, from the office boy to .the ‘man highest up, with as much care as . he would launch on. an entirely new business venture.

REX TODAY LAST’ ¢+ . ~SHOWING OF THE: “WALK-QFFS” “The :Walk-Offs,”” a picturization of the apccessful stage play by Fred- eric and Fanny Hatton, had a most successful first showing yesterday. at the Rex theatre. - The many admirers of May Allison will be delighted: to see this rising young star in this vehicle, which reveals her beauty and talepts in a delightful and ef- tive. manner. The play is an adaption by June Mathis and A. P. Younger for Screen Classics, Inc., of the Broadway ‘-hit which Oliver Morosco produced. It ‘| has 'been :directed for the screen by Herbert :Blanche, and bears the im- print of this -excellent = director’s work.

FORCED RUN TONIGHT “Going Some,” the new Rex Beach: picture and the latest 7-part Gold- wyn offering at the Grand theatre for the last time' tonight, is a story full of action and up to the usual Beach standards , in every respect. ‘The cast chosen for this production is an all-star one, and includes such popular players .as Cullen Landis, Lillian' Hall, Willard Louis, Lillian Langdon, Maurice’B. Flynn, the well known football player, Helen Fergu- son, Kenneth Harlan, and a host of | others, popular. with the lovers of the screen. ‘Wagering a . big cattle ranch against the outcome of a foot race is ome of the excitement producing elements in “Going Some.” The pic- ture is all that Harry Beaumont di- rection with the assistance of the au- thor can make it.. .Most of the action centers‘around the two runners and the owners of the ranches. The run- ners hold the destiny of -many people in their power. to win or lose the eventual race. Before the time ar- rives for the athletes to try out their physical prowess, oil is discovered on one of the wagered ranches thereby enhancing its value a great deal. The possjbility. of such a discovery ‘was ~taken into consideration when the wager was made; hence arises the question of whether it would be fair to carry out the original terms on which the bet was based." Obviat- ing the necessity of legal assistance, nature allows thifigs to take their own course. . The-golving of this i tricate puzzle nféKés'a story of al sorbing interest.
