Mobs and millionaires, love sand lovers were all in evidence, and yet the film tells' a love story. In ‘3:!. the love element is the key note t rings throughout all the seven “large reels in which this picture is presented. In b “The Boomerang” is a tale centering. about the exploits of & free and easy young son of a mil- lionaire, who is disowned and cast qut on his own resources because he objects to the formation of a food tyust, of ‘which his father is one of the he :: Henry B.

The food trust ‘begins its operations, and trou- “ble follows. He quells a riot, helps elect a reform candidate to the gov- ernorship. The new administration ppoints ‘him prosecuting attorney, ‘snd he brings his guilty father and lfl'n the father of the girl he loves to the bars of justice. : First of all “The Boomerang” is ‘big picture in every sense of the .word. It has suspense, surprise and leavés the audience perfectly satis- fied ‘in the ‘end. A word of praise must also be| given to the wonderful cast that'sup- ports Mr. Walthall. Nina Byron as ‘the girl is more than convincing, she .is real. Melbourne MacDowell, the distinguished tragedian of the legiti- ‘mate stage, as the unscrupulous Tiger of Wall Street, is positively master- ful. Helen Jerome Eddy, Nigel de Briullier and 'Richard Morris give excellent performances. Jack Ma “Donald as Snape, the “Vulture, ‘igives a character impersonation which .is as brilliant as it is startling and istic. As a whole “The Boomerang” ranks at the head of the list of. the notable photo-dramas that we have seen this season. —_— “TARZAN OF THE APES” i AT REX SATURDAY Maddened by the death of nis Ape her—at the hands of the canni- 1 chief—Tarzan races thru the jun- Mle.

As a vehiele for Charles Ray, it is de- clared to be especially suitable, and in it the young star is said to have done some of the greatest work of his screen career. ! Ann May, the charming litile mo- tion pictdre actress, who has been Charles Ray’s leading woman in many other pictures, has the chief feminine role in “Peaceful Valley.” EXTRA VAUDEVILLE BILL FOR GRAND THIS FRIDAY Truely an extra ordinary bill, the vaudeville program for Friday of this week, offers as well balanced and diversified an attraction as has ever been offered the public. Ziska, the King of Magicians, pre- sents an act that is always enter- taining, mystery being one of the prime factors in. compelling immedi- ate interest. a pair of male entertainers whose piano work and songs “From Grand Opera to Ragtime” will be especially pleasing. Garet & Galloway present turn that is always popular, being pair of “peppy”-blackface comedi- ans whose comedy, singing, talking and dancing never slows up during the entire twenty minutes they are on_the boards.

"% “Destiny” has an intensely dram- atic theme, +It deals- with the con- fiict hetween a sister, played by Miss Phillips, and her brother, played by Willlam Stowell, 4n which the lat- ter's lust for ‘power brings ruin to himself and others. As in several late stage plays, two parallel lines of action are shown. Hadsza certain choice been made at a ‘certain time in the play’s course, one #et of conse- quences would have resulted. Had another choice been made, a very dif- ferent consequences wayld shave fol- lowed. « Directed by Rollin Sturgeon from a scenario supplied by Elliott J. Claw- ton, “Destiny,” at all tfmes compels closest jnterest. B From the outset, one feels that he is watching the acjions and guaging the emotions of réal human' beings, and the production strikes one rath- er as a cross-section view of life it- self than as a photoplay of fictitious characters. CITY CHAPS ARE BEST LOVE MAKERS. IS IDEA City fellows are the best love mak- ers if one is to believe what one’s eyes witness on the screen. Vita- graph's latest feature, “The Fortune Hunter,” 'is testimony to the fact that a city fellow who keeps his hands clean and goes to church can make an awful hit with country town girls. . \ “The Fortune Hunter,” with Earle Willliams in the stellar role, will be seen at the Elko theatre tonight and » for years| " Smith|[. .

It is an adaptation of the famous stage play by Winchell Smith The-story revolves around the experi- ence of a city youth who goes to a small town to deliberately hunt up an heiress for his bride. As a play “The Fortune Hunter” won fame from coast to coast. Tt has drawn capacity houses in about ev- ery city in the country and is always a favorite with stock companies. The film version has a2 much wider range. Scenes that were impossible to stage owing.to the limitations of paint, canvas, and time are included in the The natural scenery, the rural atmosphere and the accur- ate eye of the camera give a force and beauty to the action that is oth- erwisé impossible. The story in it- self is one of absortbing interest. It is the type that is ever popular with old and young because it idealizes youthful aspirations and achieve- ment. CHARLES RAY HERO -OF DETECTIVE FILM A detectjve story, with an amusing comedy twist, is unfolded in “A Vil- liage Sleuth,’”’'a new ‘picture starring Charles Ray, which will come to the Elko theatre next Priday and Satur- day.’ Not that it hasn't all the ele- ments of a regular Sherlock Holmes yarn. For there’s a mystery, a ‘‘mur- der,” and a robbery, with a pretty girl the central figure in all three. ‘Charles Ray plays the role of the young homespun detective, who 'un- ravels the mixup and not only clears the girl but wins her for his own. Lots of humor of the unique Ray type helps to make the picture one of the most entertaining of the re- cent Thomas H. Ince productions. Agnes Christie Johnson is the au- thor of “Village Sleuth” and Jerome ‘Storm directed. It's a Paramount picture. Benefits Under State Law.
