The genius of Thomas H. Ince is said to find its true expression in this gew super-photodrama under the banner of the famous Associated Producers, Inc., an alliance composed of Ince, Mack Sennett, Marshall Neil- an, George Loane Tucker, J. Parker Read, Jr., Allan Dwan-and.Maurice Tourneur. , Not since the original stage pre- sentation of the time-honored “Way Down East,” ‘“‘Sis Hopkins” and “Shore Aeres,” have the sentiment and_courage of rural America been S0 faithfully depiéted as in the lat- est special attraction from the Ince studios. Personally supervised by the noted producer himself, the Julien Joseph- son narrative of “Homespun Folks” has been translated into a dramatic and pictorial triumph whicH scores another achievement’ in Thomas H Ince's list of successful specials. The character sketches, remarkable /for thelr vividness and fidelity to detail, are exquisitely enacted by such-well® known players as Lloyd Hughes, re membered for his powerful perform- ance in “Below the Surface;” Gladys George, a new Ince “find”; George Webb, Charles Mailes, Lydia Knott, Al Filson and others. Chester Conk- lin, the famous Sennett star, will also appear in his newest comedy “Home Rule.” STRAW VOTE AT GRAND TODAY AND TOMORROW. Manager Harding of the Grand theatre announces that a straw vote will be conducted at that theatre today and tomorrow on the leading national and state candidates. To all patrons a ballot will be given upon entering the show and when leaving the’ballots will be deposited in suitable boxes for that purpose: Much interest is sconnected with this last minute straw:ballot and it is ex- pected that the results may show a number of surprises to local voters. The results of the vote will be published in The Pioneer on Monday. for both days, while the result of today’s ballot will be posted in the theatre tomorrow. GIRL PRACTICALLY SOLD BY IMPOVERISHED FATHER A popular stage play by Sir James M. Barrie, “Half an Hour,” serves as Dorothy Dalton’s latest screen starring vehicle. The picture was well received last evening at ‘the Elko theatre, where it appears to- night, last times. The heroine of the story is Lady Lilian, practically sold by her im- poverished father when\she becomes the wife of Garson, a wealthy Am- erican. He loves her, but her ‘at- titude toward him finally leads him | to treat her cruelly and. she becomes involved in a secret affair with Hugh Paton, an Englishman of her station in life. She,is about to run away with him’ and is in his aparement for that purpose when she learn that he is unfaithful. At the same time newa comee of ais death'in a motor accl- dent. Dramatic évents ensue, at the end of which Lady Lilian and her American husband are ‘reconciled. Mies Dalton is ideally ‘gualified to portray the artistict youbg‘ wife and gives a spirited and ling per- grow out of Harriet’s empty romance of ‘Greenwich Village 1s revealed in a fascinating manner by the film ver- sfon of Kathleen Norris' story. On the completion of this picture Anita Btewart left the Pacific coast for New York with her real (not “reel”) hus- band, Rudolph Cameron. ¥ “HOMESPUN FOLKS” AT ¥ GRAND THEATRE TONIGHT §.
