ARZAN OF THE APES” AT REX TOMORROW . i Maddened by the death of his Ape mother—at the hands of the canni- //'bal chief—Tarzan races thru the jun- es. * Leaping from tree to tree with the .speed of a bird—he overtakes the fear-striken black—grasps him _in his great hands—and when life has flown—flings him fan out into the soggy alligator-infested lagoon. Then Tarzan returns and mourns over: his wild ape-mother a3 he would over Lady Alice—his real mother. Then calling his friend the elephant—raids the ‘cannibal village and destroys it. The father of the beautiful white girl aud his party are beset by the enrag- @dt cannibals. 77! Hearing the noise of firearms in % the distance, Tarzan leaves the girl in the croks of a tree. Off like a déer he goes. From limb to Hmb, Teaping across great chasms—where skulking beasts growl up at his fly- ing form—he leaps until he reaches the native village. At sight ‘of his mighty for mthe women flee and soon He has glowing fire and this he touches to the dry grass huts and doon mighty flames call the killers from their attack and Tarzan of the Apes has saved the whites from a ter- rible doom. , Y800D REFERENCES” AT '4 . 'REX THEATRE TODAY i Constance Talmadge nas searched for sinners, she’s been a love expert and ‘a. perfect woman, but for the first time in her career has she gone to the lengths of rescuing a young| man from jail in a picture, “Good References,” her latest First Na- \Ehnal vehicle, to be exhibited at the Kex theatre, last times tonight. Being in love with a fascinating young lady is enough to keep any young man in a constant state of wol and perplexity. But being in l‘ovflllh npbe;ullnfi' girl who ba%led you out of night court and didn’t {ell your farhily about the trouble— keeping the little ‘dark secret as a whip over your head, to drive you at “your lefsure—that s misery that beggars description. b ) But of course Vincent Coleman says he didn’t mind playing this vart at all, because opposite him was the winsome and capricious Constance. ' This humorous( sifuation and the embarrassing dilemma in which Mary Wayne (Connie) is subsequently placed form an amusing part of Miss Talmadge’s new starring vehicle. “PEACEFUL VALLEY” AT e REX THEATRE SUNDAY “Peaceful Valley,” the well known 8ol Smith Russell success, which has 8 record of 5,207 stage perfdrmances has ‘at last been transferred to the screen, with Charles Ray, the popular cinema star, playing the leading role in his favorite part of a “hick.” © , The production, which was adapt- ed by Isabel Johnson from the stage play by Edward E. Kidder, will be the attraction ati\the Rex theatre, commencing Sunday. It Mr. Ray’s second .release thru Associated First ‘National pictures as an independent producer. Jerome Storm directed the pro- duction of ‘‘Peaceful Valley” and prominent in.the cast supporting Charles Ray are Harry Myers, Lin- coln Stedman, Walter Perkins, Wil- lam Courtright, Vincent C. Hamil- ton, Jesse Herring, Ann May, Lydia Knott, Chzrlotte Pierce, Melba Lor- raine and Ida Lewis. “Peaceful Valley” was for years one of the most popular footlight at- tractions in “America. Sol Smith Russell, playing the leading role, reg- 1istered his greatest success in it. As % vehicle for Charles Ray, it is de- clared to be espectally suitable. and 4n it the young star is said to have done some of the greatest work of his screen career. \; Ann May, the charming little nfo- ,tlon picture actress, who has been Charles Ray’s leading woman in many other pictures, has the chief feminine role in' ‘“‘Peaceful Valley." “THE FORTUNE TELLER” AT ELKO SUNDAY AND MONDAY Do cards fortell the future? “They are weirdly prophetic in ““The Fortune Teller,” the Robinson- Cole Super-Special, starring Marjorie Rambeau, the greatest emotional ac- tress of the American stage, which is the Headline attraction at the Elko theatre next Sunday and Monday. | "The s¢reen version of the celebrat- ed stage success dealing with mother- love and psychic phenomena is even more powerful than the play, the big nes of which necessarily were lim- ed by the stage restrictions. “The Fortune Teller” ' shows a great actress in a great story, a story fllled with tense, dramatic situations. The action is rapid and big scene fol- @lows big scene with ahnost breath- taking . swiftness. - But the ‘big scenes’’ are only ‘‘pot-boilers” in com- parison with the truly great moments ot the picture which show Miss Ram+ Dbeau at the very pianacle of ler art. }'Whether cards are false or true flmphets is a debatable question, but in “The Fortune Teller” they form the basis of a plot inextricably wov- en with the appeal of mother-love and the mysteries of psychic phen- omena.

His latest effort’ is “A illage Sleuth,” which comes from the Thom- as H. Ince studio and which will be shown at the Elko theatre tomight, also Saturday, matinee and evening next.

When the ticket was bought the pur- chaser was asked when the party was going. He replied, “They have already gone.” Then it developed that the man, con- sclence-stricken at the thought of cheating the railroads out of the cost of a child's ticket, decided to follow the old adage, “Better late than never."— Houston Post. —e Novel Wireless Experiments.

MIXED HUMOR AND TRAGEDY Weiter Tells of Relieving Touch in the Midst of Scenes of Revolt in \ Ireland. x TThere Is no country In the world like Ireland. Even Its serious attempts at refolution have a humorous side. Just as there is a touch of sadness in the Wildést Irish merriment, there is a bit of good humor in' the midst of its most tragic earnestness. Miss Dorothea Conyers, in her Sporting Reminiscences, tells an incident of one of the Sinn Fein uprisings: i The barrier on the Wellesly bridge | was_most imposing, and 1 remember | rushing down to see it and upsetting a | neat stack of bayonets, but no one! fninded. An irate old lady-in ap ass | cart was trying to pass out just as I got there.
