e ¥ NEWS OF THE THEATRES “EXCEPTIONAL ENTERTAINMENT There is promise of exceptional en- tertainment at the Elko theatre to- night and Saturday when Elaine Hammerstein in “The Woman Game’’ will be offered as the featured attrac- tion. From a story by Leighton Osmun and Frank Dazey, G. Marion Burton, one of the ablest of present day writ- ers for the motion picture screen, has provided a scenario said to possess strength. The authors have gone into the common place walks of life for typical incidents about which to weave some real drama, powerful in 4ts appeal but portrayed in the most matural way imaginable—without erime, cheap sensation, or startling action. . “The Woman Game” of the title is merely the game, as old as life itself, which women are always playing in their own behalf or in behalf of those they love. The big interest in the picture lies in showing up this game #0 that all those who are playing it unconsciously are able to understand 4t—and its complete justification. Whatever one’s views may be to- ward marriage, an entirely new light is shed on the question in ‘‘A Par- cel Post Husband,” which will also e shown at the Elko theatre tonight and tomorrow. It is a‘Big “V” com- edy featuring Earl Montgomern. The versatile comedian will introduce sev- eral unique “stunts” in the way of screen comedy. REX LAST TIME TODAY. “_AND THE CHILDREN PAY” The story over which this strenu- ous debate took place is a moving one. 9n a small New Jersey town two six- year-old children, Billy Clark and Marge Reynolds, neighbors and play- mates, have a marriage game with a Teddy bear for minister. Their par- ents, Clark, a stern proud business man and the Rev. Reynolds, the saintly remote village pastor, look on and approve. So the children grow up, coming in time to the dawn of man and womanhood. The boy’s mo- ther on the eve of his departure for college begs his father to instruct him in sex matters in order that he may be fortified against the world. But the man, prudish and filled with the traditional American false modes- ty, does not do so and the youth turns to the freer, more exciting life of young college blood without any warnings against sectual license. His ‘head turned by sudden intimacy with gay fellows and gayer ‘“college wid- ows” he becomes addicted to drink and suffers a secret but permanent in- jury to his health. He returns on vacation, greets his sweetheart Marge with all his old charm and a new assurance and bra- vado that sweeps her off her feet. “Tricking her parents, he introduces her to a riotous New Year’h party, where, carried away in the excite- ment of a hilarious dance and her first taste of: drink, she succumbs to his advances. A few weeks later at college he re- ceives a pitiful plea from Marge in-| forming him that the consequences of | their weakness is most serious and, that he must marry her at once. This! he refuses to do, and in time, the Ppanic stricken girl, keeping her own and Billy’s mistake still a secret, runs, away from home to hide her shanie, in a great city. She works until the child is born and then places it in an asylum and goes out to drown her- self. Saved in the brink of eternity by a fashionable dancing mistress, she recovers her strength in the home of Ler benefactor and assists hcr in her classes. Meanwhile Billy is expelled from| colleze and returns to the parental home, sedden, dissipated morally and physically wrecked. A pang of re-! morse touci:ex him when he finds Rev. ; Reynolds widowed and childless for Marge's mother had died of a broken heart when no trace of her daughter ' could be found. But'when his father! urges him to marry and settle down hiz indifference returns and he ar- rahges to mavy another girl of con-| siderable w h, the Rev. Reynolds| being asked to perform the mony. On the morning of the wedding, in going thru some of Marge's books, an act of loving memory that the old man constantly performed, he discov- ers a note from Billy to Marge writ- ten ou that fateful evening so long b:fore. In it the pastor instantly sees the cauze of Marge's disappearance and Billy's responsibility. He dons his clergical vestments and proceeds cere- HAVE DARK HAIR AND LOOK YOUNG Nobody Can Tell When You Barken Gray, Faded Hair With Sage Tea Grandmother kept her hair beau- tifully darkened, glossy and attrac- tive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked ap- pearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound,” you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, at very little cost. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to -the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been,_ ap- plied—it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, tak- ing one strand at a time. By morn- ing the gray hair disappears; after another~application or two, it is re- stored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. to the church altar where Billy is to be married. The bride and groom kneel before him. Then with hands raised he, suddenly and with flaming dramatic force ienounces the young man and forbids the bans. A wild situation follows. Billy’s father, learning the truth, begs tune injured preachers foregiveness and Billy flees to the city to the life he craves.

FRANK DANFORTH CANEAT ANYTHING Had Suffered Fifteen Years From Indigestion—Gains Fifteen Pounds “I weighed myself just the other day and ar fifteen pounds heavier than I was the day I started taking Tanlac, and after what it has done for me I am glad of the opportunity to tell what a remarkable medicine I think it is,” said Frank Danforth, of Inver Grove, St. Paul, Minn. Mr. Danforth is well known in St. Paul, where he has lived all his wife, and is & member of the Western Star Lodge, No. 2, Albert Lea Chapter of Masons, and also of the Car Inspec- tors Union. “For fifteen years I had suffered from stomach trouble, and finally got so I never ate any breakfast at all, confining myself to a glass of milk and cup of hot water, and could eat very little or nothing at other meals. Everything I ate caused me to have a heavy, distressed feeling in my stomach which would continue for hours, and gas would form so bad I could hardly get my breath. I also suffered with heartburn something awful, and' many a night I: was in such agony on account of it I had to get up and walk the floor. I was so nervous 1 would jump at the least sound out of the ordinary, and it was almost impossible for me to get a good night’s sleep. . Then, too, I was troubled so much with constipation I had to be taking some sort of laxa- tive all the time. In fact, I was in such bad shape and so weak and run- down 1 do not see how in the world I managed to keep going. “I had been reading so much about the good Tanlac was doing others I made up my mind to give it a trial. The first bottle seemed to go right after my troubles and they began to rapidly disappear. Today my recov- ery has been so complete it seems almost too good to be true. My di- gestion was never better in my life and I don’t have to worry over what I 'have to eat, for everything agrees with me perfectly. I am never trou- blgd with gas, am no longer bothered with heartburn and my nerves are in such fine condition I can sleep like a log every night. I get up every morning ready for a hearty breakfast and go cff to work feeling fine. I am no longer constipated and am enjoying the best health every way 1 }’}ave in years.” anlac is sold in Bemidji by Cit; Drug Store, Knutson &J Li]lga a{ Gracepon.

THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER The results of Billy’s wild city life finally brings him to an untimely death and Marge suffers humiliation and disgrace-all because Billy was not told.
