REX STARTING SUNDAY FOR TWO DAYS: “RI0 GRANDE” . “Rio Grande,” the Edwin Carewe- Pathe feature production. on view. at _ the Rex ‘theatre for two.days com- mencing Sunday, is an outdoor story.

Across orange-colored, sun . ‘scorched deserts, the silvery Rio Grande winds its way, while the pur- ple hills, their peaks forming a Jjag- gered silhouétte against the blue sky, watch’ the- history of ' that romantic nd. ‘Augustus-Thomas’ story of “Ris .“#irande" concerns . itself with & ‘charming love affair of a certain . "brown-eyed ‘Senora on the Mexican gide of the Rio Grande, and a bold and adventurous Irish-American on|: s side. Rosemary Theby and rs were chosen for the lead- es because of their. peculi itability for the parts, and the re- mainder of the cast was equally wel ‘chosen. Mr. Carewe staged the %l‘c- ture in Texas on the very spot Mr. Thomas wrote about. - he Te: A DUPLEX PIOT An interesting example of what is Xnown in’ literature as the duplex story.plot, or the story -within a story, i provided by Earle Willlams latest feature, “When a Man Loves.” This production will be shown at the Elko ‘tll:ntre on'Sunday, Monday and Tues- If the world should last a billion years, it will never possess a stronger theme for the attention of human being than love. The infinite scope - of love as the subject of literature and the drama will forever provide rich material, The picture unfolds the story of a man who lives at a rapid rate of ad- venture and romance, while at the same time his brain conjures imagin- atively a second inner romance which he writes for publication. The de- lightful dove-tailing of these two stories and paralleling of their in- cidents travel to an unusual climax. Another feature on thé Elko pro-| gram, the ngfigflmou is the two reel comedy, “Vacatfon Time,” ‘starring Mr. and Mrs. Carter DeHaven.. {WHEN LAWS WERE CRUEL i Barbarous Death oF 'Life |mprison. “!.-ment the Portion of Thinkers in " the Sixteenth Century. They had a rough and ready way of dealing with spiritualists in the six- teenth century. An act was placed on the statute book -in the relgn of Queen Mary which made it a capital offense for many persous “to propose to- hold communicaiions with the dead,” -and later the penalty for such an offense was made hurning at the stake. <"In 1520 a man named Edward Bar- ber, who lived at Ongar in Essex, was ordered by a local magistrate te<be put 1o the stocks for three days, and subsequently to stand for trial' fori pretending that Me had recelved mese| eages from a dead person, and “for telling divers persons that he had done [ 4 : This luckless spiritualist, however, was never sent for trial, as on the last vight of lils confinement in the stocks he' was burned to death by some of the villagers. .In the reign of Queen Anne a man named Prothero was sentenced to im- prisonment for life for writing a pam- phlet proving that communication with dead wus possible; and even so late as the reign of George I there are records of severe punishments being intlicted on people who professed that thsey had received messages from the dead. “fi the reign of James La Dutch mer- chant named Kolep, living in London, was sent to the Tower for alleging that during a bad illness he had actu- _ally died and that his soul had passed for:‘two hours in the world beyond, ‘when it returned ‘o his body. Kolep was deprived of his property and was sentenced to . imprisonment for life. He escaped from prison, how- ever, and managed to make his way back, to his native country, where he afterwards published a book giving the experiences of his visit to the world beyond the grave.—Stray Stories. : RULED BY TREATY POWERS Shanghal ,Only Great City in the .World That Is Under That ‘Form of Control. 1 Shanghal is an international city —the only international city in the world.

In -“The ‘Revenge- -of “Tarzan,” shown here at the Grand tonight and Sunday, the latest development of the Tarzan epjc is presented in a plot that simply tingles with thrills. It is easily the most exeiting picture you will ever have the pleasure of seeing—hand-to-hand fights between Tarzan and: two full-grown,.blood- thirsty lions, a spectacular ship- wreck, stirring scenes in the under- world of Paris, of wild apimals in their native haunts, adventure and a love story that threads the plot like a vein of gold. If you want to be lifted out of yourself -and thrilled to the core, make sure that you see *““The ‘Revenge of Tarzan;”’ which is the gequel to “Tarzan of the Apes,” and in 7 parts. KISSES STARTED Al - LIVELY SCANDAL “The Kissing Girl-is here!” May- belle Flowers, show girl at the Vani- ties, has ‘a reportoire of what she terms Floral Kisses. Here are some Yum!—The scorching crimson rambler and the lingering, tantalizing honey-suckle twister! - T Can you imagine what a furore such an auvertisement would cause? It started a whole train of exciting circumstances for.Sylvia Figueroa of proud old Southern' California aristo- cracy. They were proud—but oh, so poor! So Sylvia hdd become ‘‘May- belle Flowers” of the ‘Vanities,’-and then the press agent put out that aw- ful story. And Sylvia’s lover read the story and believed it. It makes a most entertaining photoplay of “Food for Scandal”, which will show at the Grand theatre for two days be- ginning Monday. ~ 2 i " “Food for Scandal” is different in every way from ‘‘Miss Hobbs,” the in- -itial Wanda Hawley starring vehicle which had such a tremendous vogue all over the country. It is sdid to have been so selected “in:order ‘to prove Miss Hawley to be a really: ver- satile star. i '‘Again a Splendid cast will .assist ‘Miss Hawley in the fun-makin, rison Ford leading man .while lother well-ki players include’ Les- ter Cuneo, Ethtel Grey Terry,”Mar- garet McWade, Minnie Prevost, Juan de la Cduz, Sidney Bracey. ol except France, which has 1ts own ter- ritory or concession adjoining the in- ternational settlement. . In such & community unique solutions have to be found for unique problems, and no problem has been more difficult than that of the administration of justice. For the foreign resident it is a sim- ple matter, writes Nathaniel Peffer in Asia magazine., He is subject only to the laws of his own country, because of the privilege of extra-territoriality which China conceded to foreign powers some 70 years ago, when she was forced to concede so much else, including parts of her territory. Thus, for the American, there is an Amerl- can district attorney to administer American law, just as in New York, hicago, San Francisco or Joplin. As for the British, Russian, Japanese or -Itplian, even if no speclal court has been established for him, there Is at least a consular court. The result Is of course, that your neighbor can do things with impunity that would net you $25 and costs, or vice versa. “Satan Finds Some Mischief Still—" The ‘mhischief of water is not that it does not run, but that, not running, it corrupts, and, corrupting, breeds poisonous minsma, so that they who live in _the neighborhood inhale dis- ease at every breath. The mischief of Indolence is not that it neglects the use of powers and the improve- ment of the opportunities of life, but that it breeds morbid . conditions in every part of the goul. '"An indolent man is. like an unoccupled dwelling. Scoundrels sometimes burrow in fit. Thieves and evil characters make it their haunt; .or, if they do not, it is full of vermin. A house that is used does -not breed moths half so fast as a house that, having the beginnings of them, stands empty. Woe be to them, who take an old house, and carry their goods into it! A lazy man fis an old house full of moths in every part. Origin of “Dutch.” The word “Dutch” is derived from the German “deutsch,” meaning Ger- man and the original meaning in Eng- lish was German, Teutonic, except in local, careless or slang usage. The German language is, classified into high and low German, the low being spoken by the people of the Nether- lands, formerly designated as the®low Dutch language. Gradually the usage has changed until in modern times it has reference only to the inhabitants of the Netherlands, their language, ete. Thus Dutch furniture signifies a style developed in Holland {n the sev- -enteenth century. . Jean Gaynor ;nd Chorus with H’_-r.vay D. Orr's “The Million -§T. PAUL’S EVANG.

Siamese fishermen do most of their fishing by means of what is known as a ghost boat. This consists of a long board, painted white, and arranged in position in the water.” The top must not be too: high above the surface of the water for the fish it iy desired to capture to leap over. When in po- sition the ghost resembles very muc the white side of & boat or punt... The fish, seeing this white board, becom frightened, and in fear they leap ever the board. At the back of the board, however, nets are arranged in such & position that those fish that suceeed in leaping the board land in the nets and are caught. The amount of fish caught by the employment of ghost boats is very large indeed, and the method has the advantage of prevent- ing the smaller fry from getting into the nets, as they are unable to leap over the board.
