L°Girl of the Sea” is'an educational a8 well as entertaining picture. j then on se situation MAKE-BELIEVE HUSBAND ‘ - IN “BIG HAPPINESS” Duétin Farnum, the “Man’s Man” of the screen. has never had a more worth while vehicle than “Big Hap- piness,’ the super-special ~which opened at the Elko theatre last night where it again-appears tonight. This production, the first Mr. Farnum has made- for Robertson:Gole, gives this notable star a splendid opportunity to display his abilityias a dramatic actor, and not once thruiout the pic- ture does he disappoint“his audience. His performance is a remarkable one, “Big Happiness” is a big, dramatic stopy with a wholsesale moral. It was adapted to the screen by Jack Cunningham from the famous novel of the same name. It is a gripping story of twin bro- thers, one a heartless man of the world whose one desire is wealth, the other’ a less successful fellow who dwells in the slums, but possesses a happy nature and a heart of gold. By, a strange trick of fate the “poor but honest” brether.is called upon to impersonate the other, a leading fi- nancier, during his enforced absence. The story interest is further en- hanced by the fact that the wealthy brother had just married a beautiful girl who ‘did not love him, but mar- ried him because of the financial con- ditions of her family. Gradually, however shé.learns to love the mas- querader, because of his ‘gentleness and kindness. Her love is returned, but owing to the peculiar situation her make-believe husband cannot tell her of his affection. ' The climax makes this story one|the heart of American womanhood. Ten brides of wealth and high social 3 i position have been literally snatched exceptionally good, containing such | of tremendous dramatic appeal. The supporting cast in this picture is names as Kathryn Adams, popular leading lady of the screen, Fred Mal- atesta, the noted portrayer of ‘‘vil- Jain” roles, Joseph J. Downing, of “Miracle Man” fame 2nd others. LONDON’S LIFE FILLED FULL OF ADVENTURE A life no less adventurous than “that of his'great character, ‘“Burn- ing Daylight,” showing today on the ecreen of the Rex theatre, was Jack London’s.

From this experience arose probably many of his socialistic be- liets, making him naturally:enough bitter againat a capitalistic employer who would not give a fair day’s wage for two men’s days’ work. . But this was in early xianhood. Jack London was born in San Fran- cisco, January 12, 1876, the son of John London, a frontiersman, scout and trapper; and until the age of nine years, he knocked about amid the. rough environment of the Cali- fornia ranches. And always: his life was one of toll. He was in turn an oysterman. on San Francisco bay, sail- or on a schooner on a seal expedition into the ‘Berlng’ Sea—his ““The Sea Wolf” describes this.trip—then came the laundry éxperience, the tramping tour and the socialistic trend of some time. o~ came in the form of winning a prize the Coast of China. nineteen he entered-the University of California; but could not long remalni there for lack of funds. Soon after ward the gold fever infected him and he was swept up .to Alaska in the To him weaith ‘over night'did not come then; but five years later, when “The Call of the Wild,” the book that made him, was published in 1903. Since then have appeared “Son of the Wolf,” “Martin BEden,” *“White Fang,” “God of His Fathers,” “The,; Valley of the Moon,” “John Barley- corn,” a host of short stories, now collectéd into book formy “Burningf Daylight,”. “Smoke ‘Bellew,” “A Daughter of the Snows” and’ “The Star Rover.” - These last four, the first of which is already done, have been secured for screen presentation by x tFoy. with Mitchell Lewls, the very of rugged; red-blooded manhood Lon- don. chose ‘for his heroes, promfnent|races the “¢ar ahead ot the othe in a noteworthy cast.

JEKYLL AND MR, HYDE AT REX TUESDAY The management of--the Rex the- atre have announced that on ‘Tues; day it will present to the picture lov- ers of Bemidjl a sc Robert Louls Stevénson’s masterpiece, Dr. Jekyll -and Mr. Hyde, in which Sheldon Lewis, the distinguished Broadway tragedian, will essay the leading role. Mr. Lewis will be supported by a Large and Notable t, which in- cludes Gladys Field, Alexander Bhnn-T non, Harold Forshay, Leslie Austin and Dora Mills Adams. st X This picture has attracted great interest In New YorK and elsewhere from the fact that just now there are two claimants for the honor of being the best Jekyll and Hyde on the; screen. One is Sheldon Lewis and the other is John Barrymore. Both men. present very interesting studies” of Stevenson’s great charac- ter, and, while they differ in many respects, it is extremely hard for even | a trained critic to say who is the better. In some of the scenes, particular- ly those in which-Mr. Hyde has the center of the screen, Mr. Lewis seemd to bring out the distorted horror of Dr. Jekyll’s baleful double with great- er effectiveness. ¢ The production .has. been mounted with an eye to making the rendition of the story extremely uramatic, and a fortune has been spent on the read- ing titles, which embody many new. and novel departures. Dr. Jekyll and | Mr. Hyde will play at the Rex the- atre for two days. \ “BRIDE 13” AT THE REX TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY A band of international pirates, the scum of the world’s worst quar- ters, has sent a thrill of horror into from the alter and have mysteriously disappeared.
