'T18 certain that this'dialogue will ' be repeated many times during the I mext twoidays;- :For-that Harrison Ford is one of the most popular lead- ing men“in motion pictures will be attested by -thousands of : playgoers sy - where. The clean-cut manli- ‘ness of the popular young actol “made him a universal favorite:: Jetters from.*‘tans” all over the world Tun to a volume which exceeds tha of nine out of ten stars. A In “Food for Scandal” he plays opposite Miss Wanda ‘Hawley, the Realart star. The picture is the sec- ond starring vericle of the clever comedienne. Local picture-lovers will recall the great popularity of «Migg Hobbs,” her successful debut into the field of stars. Mr. Ford was also her leading man in that proginc.— tion. i 5 . AB Watt Dinwiddie, an impecun- jous lawyer who attempts to keep up a ‘“front” (although he is so poor he does light housekeeping in his of- fice) Mr. Ford is a perfect foll to Miss Hawley’s demure mischief.vT'he star plays the role of Sylvia Figueroa, daughter of an aristocratic old fa ily. who becomes the “Kissing Gi! of the “Vanities.” Of course there is a_warld of fun when into the plot ‘enters a happy-go-lucky fellow who wants a nice, safeco-réspondent for & diverce suit which his wife desires _in.order that she may marry an Ital- \ a f!" And then the count-has to n love with the ‘“Kissing GIirE¥~All in all it’s a tremendous mix-up which ends in @& burst:of laughter and joy for those who wit- ness the fun making.

Rosemary Theby is to be compli- ment for handling with charm and delicacy a role that might easily have been overdone. She is Maria - Inez Lopez, born of an American mother and a Mexican father, but raised on the Southera side of the Rio Grande by her father, who taught her to hate the Americano. - This she finds an' easy thing to do . until Danny O'Neil enters l;qr life. { Danny, audaciously played by 'Allan Sears, 18 six_fegt three of magculine masterfalness. More than that—he’s part Irish and ‘hasn’t forgottem it, . and he’s a member of the famous Texas Rangers.. He wins so much of tae Senorita’s admiration when he captures her, then sets her 'lree' to prove the Americans want to " be friendly with the Mexicans, that she, gives him a' kiss'and invites him to come to her ¢ance and claim another. ‘We hate to think of the ¢orking entertainment we would have missed if Danny hadn’t braved all the dan- gers and gone after that kiss. It was responsible for a great deal of excite- ment, but the details we refuse to divulge here. The best place to find out is at the Rex theatre, and we’d advise you to mtisfy your curiosity . early. ' FIIM MATINEE IDOL DEFEATED IN LOVE Earle Williams, a film star who has been regarded as the chief exponent of tfie'irresistible lovemaker on the screen has the upique experience in his latest picture, of being defeated in love. The star plays the role of a man who is jilted by the girl he loves. Of course, in the end, he experi- ences another love affair which turns out more successful; but the fact of! =is defeat in the first case represents: a sensation in the.star’s screen ca- reer. : The picture in which this ocgnrs is -entitled, “When a Man Loves,” which will be shown at the Elko tonight and tomorrow. . £ ¢ Mr. Williams has the role of John Howard Bannister, a young English- “Like the Green Bay Tree.” Weeds, which have been called | espood for Scandal”,at the Grand to- -)E *“plants whose virtues have not yet been discovered,” are extraordinarily prolific in -producing seeds. From a single large ‘pursiane plant, as ynany as 1,260,000 seeds may be obtained. A thistle will produce anything between 100,000 and 200,000, and.the charlock 200,000; - while the shepherd’s purse will content itself with a modest 50, 000! Many seeds retain their power of germination for from 15 to 30 years. included amongst these being _the dock, chickweed and shepherd’s purse. Have you ever thought of the ~ pumber of grains contained in one pound of wild oats? 'We may put it approximately at 25,000.

WILL THIS CHILD ACTOR 5 BECOME A GROWN-UP STAR «Jg little Bobby going to grow up to be a regular movie star?” That is the question that is puz-| zling his devoted mother, Mrs. Lillian Kelso, of Minneapolis and Los :An- geies. If he does Mrs. Kelso is quite content. Even if he does not she is happy in the fact that her adorable| infant (Bobby is just past three) has registered one of the greatest screen hits since little Ben Alexander walk- ed away with his full share of the honore in “Hearts of the World.” “The children of the screen carry a great message in the world,” explains Mrs. Kelso, “for they nearly always express the geod, the right ‘n the story and I shall be glad to see.my little boy doing such work."” iy Bobby Kelso was discovered by Florénce Vidor, the screen star in a ‘Hollywood beauty parlor where > his mother had taken him. After a chat with the boy. Mrs. Vidor, herself .the mother of an eighteen months ‘cld girl, realized he was just the child her-husband, King Vidor, needed:for his forthcoming production, ‘‘The Jack-Knife Man.” His mother’s con- sent gained Bobby was given a iryont in this delightful photoplay and from the very stars proyed a huge success. This picture will be the First Nation- al attraction_at the Rex on Tuesda; when local movie fans will- have an opp(:lrtnnlty of seeing this wonderful child. ¢ SPECIAL BILL AT GRAND THEATRE TUESDAY NIGHT Always on the alert to provide spe- cial features for the patrons of the|’ Grand, Manager Harding has induced the popular actors John M.

Orr presents at the Grand theatre Saturday, September 18, and for the past six years it has helped to built up the morale of the theatre-going public. It comes under the “musical comedy” head of tonics, concocted by Chas. George, wha has many Broadway successes and en the’ final mixing by Harvey D. Orr which makes it so excellent and effec- tive. The ingredients are breezy dia- logue, an amusing story, bubbly music, artistic staging, beautiful cos- tuming and effervescent society and novelty dancing. _ . This is the third new edition. of the_ “Doll” series and this year’s tonic is even bigger, better, brighter than ever and has the daintiest, danci- est 9horus to give it a stimulating quality so necessary, and taking the show~all in all it is a perfect blend calculated to send its auditors forth feeling fit and ready to tackle any- thing and everything. = The seats for this attraction will be on sale at the Grand theatre box office. 4 s Primitive Traveling. The “estanciero,” or ranchman, of Argentina, is well.satisfied with the heavy native “chata,” a cart' with two big wheels, much like the bullock carts of- Asla, and to meet a “chata,” with 20 horses drawing its load of grain to the railway, is a picturesque incident of country journeying. Horses are cheap and plentiful; the “peon” who drives thém lives on the ranch, his services cost little, and the two- wheeled “chata,” when it sticks in the mud, Is reasonably easy to extri- cate by turning it round before pull- ing 1t out. The process scoops the mud and makes a roughly circular hole in the road something like the crater of a very small volcano, but the want the same weight in plantain or charlock seeds, you.will require 1,800,- 000 and 220,000 respectively.

A Veritist. One day I invited my sister’s school teacher to our house. The teacher, who was bald-headed, began to tell us some of his experiences. He told us that while traveling through Kan- sas there was a terrible cyclone. He said 1t was so bad that it pulled out everything in sight by the roots. After leoking at him a while my sister asked: “Is that why you're bald- ‘headed ¥'—Exchange. e WORK WHILE SOUND ASLEEP| Remarkable Instances of the.
