Among other commendable reports on “The Wonder Man,” received from oritics who witnesses the pre-review, is the senagtion created by the su- perd acting ot Carpentier. His abil- ity as an actor of the first magnitude promises_tq'be a revelation to the lovers of t&q cinema art. Ha y “BIDERS OF THE DAWN” AT m GRAND SATURDAY . Zane ‘Grey, famous novelist, sends a special message to those of his readers wgy witness “Riders of the Dawn,” enjamin B. Hampton's photoplay of his latest novel, “The Desert of Wheat,” which with an all- atar cast, including Roy Stewart, ‘Clgire Adams, Robert McKim and other celebrities, is the attraction at the Grand theatre Saturday and ‘Sunday. # “Readers of my novel, ‘The Desert. of Wheat', will find that when they witness ‘Riders of the Dawn’ they , will 'see, instead of the mnovel as it 3 during the war, a film version ‘that 18 almost a sequel to the original,” said Mr, Grey. I want them to know how this happens. The novel was ‘written for the war, and contained in fiction form my appeal for pat- riotism.

Lon Chaney and Betty Blythe, in the two leading characters, share honors and each gives a performance in which high silent art dominates. | Lewis Stone runs the leading duo a close second race by giving one of the best character studies of the real Canadian minion of the law in re- gions wheré it is difficult for the law to reach. The animal actors in the picture deserve profuse praise and it is a foregone conclusion they make this play one of the foremost matinee hits of the season since its appeal to women and children is so great. “MERELY MARY ANN”. AT REX THEATRE TODAY At the first announcement that Shirley Mason was to the starred in the William Fox film version of Israel Zangwill's famous play, “Merely Mary Ann,” critics said: “Why, of course. This is the inevitable role for this dainty girl. The wonder is that she hasn’t done it before.” The first showing of the picture in this city will take place at the Rex thea- tre on Armistice Day. - Sweet and dainty, with a quaint- ness of gesture that is as charming as her face, Miss Mason seems made for the role of Mary Ann, the little London “slavey” who falls in love with a musiclan, struggles hard against misfortune but smiles thru it all and then finds before the end that she has good cause to smile. The picture was made under the direction of Edward J. Le Saint. The part of Lancelot, the young musician who turns out to be a lord’s son in disguige, is in the capable hands of Casson Ferguson. “Other players are Harry Spingler, Georgla Woodthorpe, Babe London and “Kewpie” Morgan. “FATTY” ARBUCKLE AS “SLIM” HOOVER, SHERIFF Ail who have seen Roscue Arbuckle —the fat genial comedian in Para- mount-Fatty Arlngkle cowedles dur- ing the past thrée yéaré-—and who has not?—will find his characteri- zation of fat *‘S8lim” Hoover, the Sheriff whom nobody loves, in “The Round Up"” which appears last times tonight at, the Elko theatre( a worth while treat.

The scenes of *“The Round Up” are laid in Apache land and as might be expected, the dramatic element is not lacking. There are some scenes of unusually strong heart-appeal, while the thrills which .accompany them hold one as by a magic spell. LIKE’EM IN ‘CIVILIAN CLOTHES? Many a girl discovered that a fel- low who looked like a/Beau Brum- mel in a khaki' uniform is quite an ordinary looking person, now that he has doffed his O. D. for “cits.” If the girl happens to have married the fellow in the meantime, the discovery may be a real tragedy. In‘“Civilian Clothes,” in which Thomas Meighan is appearing at the Elko theatre to- morrow and Saturday, the situation develops into a jolly comedy. The hero proves very emphatically that clothes don’t make the man and, in the end, the pretty heroine, played by Martha Mansfleld, is quite ready to agree with him. ) Symbolism of Animals.
