THE BEMIDJI DAl LY PIONEER MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER'11,~1920 NEWS OF THE THEATRES . REX TODAY AND TUESDAY i MADE PRISONER ’ i IN BRIDAL GOWN * ' Sippose you, a woman, were to be married to the man of your choice, were aiready arrayed in your wed- ding -gown' and were adjusting your ‘veil, when your own father sneaked up to the door, locked you in, and de- parted from the house. Wouldn't that make you slightly peevish? ou can imagine Ruth Storrow’s indignation. when, after her father had played such a trick on her, she found on guard below her window her - former sweetheart, the man ‘whom she had jilted for another. Thaf is the situation which con- fronted Ruth Storrow in the second . episode of “Bride 13", which will be shown at the Rex theatre beginning Today and Tuesdsy. . Ruth Storrow’s.real name is Mar- guerite Clayton, and she is the beau- tiful blonde heroine of William Fox’s serial.” Ruth is facing a difficult sit- uatfon. Jdst before her sister Blean- or’s marriage eleven wealthy brides had been stolen and held for ransom. Storrow wants Eleanor to put offy her marriage, but Ruth urges her to 20 ahead and defy the criminal band that threaten American womanhood. Eleanor follows Ruth’s advice and then she is driven off a wharf in her limousine and disappears into the bay. One might think that would dis- suade Ruth, but it does not, and she determines to follow the advice she gave her sister and go to the altar regardless of the threats of the un- seen forces. Then her father balks her'in her purpoge, and Bob, her former sweet- heart, }aids him. Still Ruth is not checkmated. She looks. out of the window and notices that Bob's atten- tion has been distracted. She raises the sash, climbs upon the sill and then—well, is isn’t fair to spoil the climax for you. REX TODAY AND TUESDAY "HOPE HAMPTON WINS y .PRAISE OF KOSLOFF One of ‘the many interesting epi- godes in-*“A Modern Salome,” in which Hope . Hampton makes her screen debut, and which is distribut- ed thru Metro, appears at the Rex theatre for. two days beginning to- day, represqnts. ghe court -of King Herod of anclent.times. It is the in- cident where the notorious Salome does her famous Dance of Enchant- ment, fat the end of which the mon- arch offers her whatever she desires as-a gift—and she asks for the head of John the Baptist. Thig story, narrated in the scrip- tures, inspired the dramatic poem of “Salome’* by Oscan- Wilde and the opera :by Richard Struss. Recollec- tions of the way this famous dance has béen performed by various ar- tistes is woven into the plot of the picture’ thru a hallucination suffered by' the heroine, in the famous Sa- lome of -old. It is in this incident that she ' performs the Dance of En- ticement. Theodoi-e Kosloff, the famous Rus- sian ballé t-dancer, whose work has been seen, on the stage and on the screen, wis in charge of the hallet which supplorted tne . star in _this dance, and | in fact staged ‘this entire episode. ‘W'hen) rehearsing the bal- let, -Kasloff ' commenced to instruct Miss Hampton in the steps‘she should do for the number, but was so struck by her matural grace that he asked her to go thru the dance as she con- ceived it without any suggestion from him. 4 Miss Hampton ran thru a series of steps and movements, and Kosloff im- mediately decided that she.needed no further instruction from him, but as- sembled his supporting ballet and told Director Leonce Pettet to “shoot” the scene, since the star was all ready for it. Bearing in mind the fact that Hope Hampton has never had any terpsi- chorean trainirg, and that she has never even seen anybody else per- form this dance, the fact that the ‘young star won such high praise from an artist like Kosloff is regarded as worthy of note. 4 PLEASING ENTTRTATNMENT A rather unique ingovation in the matter of a dual role is contained in the thrilling drama. “The Golden Trail,” which attracted more than capacity attendance to the Elko the-| atre last night, where the samc feature again appears tonight and Tuesday, matinee and evening. It i3 a story of college social life beauti- fully blended with the atmosphere of the far north. Miss Novak first ap- pears as the bedutiful demure col- lege co-ed and later as a queen of the faro table in the notorious Alaskan gambling and dance hall. Her tran- sition from the popular, fun loving, innocent college coquette to that of “Faro Kate,”” queen of *“The Golden Trail’” dance hall ,is said to be one of; the foremost dramatic characteriza- tions ever shown on theé screen. Miss Novak's wonderful versatil- ity in making each of the Charact- ers stand out so sincerely and natur- ally that they do not seem to-be act- ing. ndds-greatly to the drawing pow- er of “The Golden Trail,” which as a whole is entertainment of a class that will plepse most persons who see it. REX WENNESDAY VIOLA DANA WILL SHIMMY IN STh®V | Never has Viola Dana had a part affording her greater opportunity to display her irrepr ble charm than The, CHorus Girl’'s Romance” which begins its run at the Rex The- atre Wednesday. It might be added that there are other chances provided by the story, which isi adapted from the fiction of F. Scott Fitzgerald, and publiished or- iginally in Saturday EveningPost under the titie oi “Head and Shoul- ders.” The second chance'Miss Dana has is to shimmy. _As the leading woman in a musical comedy first- nighting in New Haven, the little star Is called upon to cause her shoulders to be agitated in that pe- culiarly modern and provocative manner which has been labelled the shimmy. And those who have had advance views of Viola’s most recent picture say she does. Chief in support of Miss Dana is Gareth Hughes, as 'Horace Tarbox, the scholarly prodigy of Yale and othér half of the romance, Others prgminent in the case are Phil Ains- worth, William Quinn, Jerre Sundin, Sidmey DeGrey, Lawrence Grant, Tom Gallery, Edwin Jogson,' Martyn Best, Anna Shaefer, Dorothy Gordon and William Mong. Percy Heath wrote the scenario; direction’ was by Wil- liam C. Dowlan, photography by John Arnold; and special art interiors by A. E. Freuderman A HAYARAW* THRILLER One of the most thrilling Sessue Hayakawa_pictures released in some time is “Li Ting Lang,” the Robert- son-Cole production featuring the Nippenese star which appears at the Elko theatre next Wednesdfay and Thursday. The story deals with the exciting adventures of a Chinese prince’ir America and China. “THY. FALL OF BABYLON” A AT TFF, GRAND TONIGHT ‘Massive scenes, the pomp and cere- mony ‘of days gone by, sensational chariot races, dancing girls at the Peist of Belshazzar all are a part of Daxid-Wark Griffith’s tremendous prg¢duction, “The Fall of Babylon,” showing at the Grand theatre today and tomorrow. No more vivid and romantic pic- ture of life exists than that reflected in the pre-Caristian era, when Baby- lon’s walls were the boundary of a life of passionate and mystic splend- or. Humanity has outgrown Baby- don’s manner and garb, but in pa- triotism, love and loyalty, the hearts of men and women have not changed. Mr. Griffith, whose fegard for the dramatic and/unusual was so ad- mirably .expressed in his two former masterpieces, “The Birth of a Na- tion"” and ‘“The Hearts of the World” has turned to the deep philosophies and spectacular brilliance of the days of Eflh:y. n for his inspiration, with the result that ‘“The Fall of Baby- lon’ 'is a simple love story against a bagkground of colossal scenes of grandeur wherein slave dealers, knaves, soldiers, court beauties and ladies of the harem hecome the con- trasting elements, The smoke of bat-| tle an dthe thunder of giant turreis pause t0 reveai glimpses of those fra- gile beauties who lent.life and joy, to the court. Doves bearing Cupid’s mesgages flit about the great halls and banquet rooms of Belshazzar’s palace, fountains of wine splash forth amid a myriad of vari-colored lights in this powerful drama of crimson conflict and golden love. “‘The Fall of Babylon’ undoubted- ly will show Griffith at his best, for it has given this wizard of the grama an opportunity to express that partic- ular genils so vividly revealed in all his past super-pictures, wherein pro- digious, .throbbing scenes of gran- deur are made but the background for the unfolding of a love story of tender appeal and charming sim- plicity. A special musical accompaniment has been ‘provided for the further, cnjoyment of t,he production. BACKS PROJECT OF RANC] FOR REINDEER RAISING ‘Winnipeg, Oct. 11.—The Hudson Bay company is backing. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the famous:arctic explor- er, in his ranching project, accord- ing to iniorma'ion oiticial sources. Reindeer are to be ‘trapsporied to Baffin’s land where the company is reported to have leased a large tract of land for the establishment of the first ranch. The identification of the Hudson’s Bay company as Stefansson’s backer solves the mystery which surrounded the explorer’s anncuncement upon his return from England a few months ago, that he succeeded in interesting “British capitalists” in his venture to such.an extent that the launching of the project was assured. ' It is known that certain American financiers were endeavoring to ‘“cash in” on: Sefansson’s idea, but the an- clent British company “beat them to 1t.” 8o ;the first attempt on this contention to creat a new meat sup- ply is to be made by British capital. Stefunsson believes that reindeer will eventuaiiy:take the piace of beef as the chief supply meat of the world. His project, in brief, is to produce on what is now the most unproductive portion of North America—the so- called barren lands of the north— enough meat eventually to supply the needs:of Canada and tiie United States at least.
