The two men meet half way up.the long stairway in the promihent club of which both are members and Ritten- shaw shoots on sight. 4 The shots bring to their feet the startled men in the various rooms of the club, bringing them to the lobby to stare fascinated at the victim, be- wildered, dying even as he stands there, facing the one-time friend who shot him. Then, straight backward he falls, as a log would tapple and roll“to the floor below. There is no crump- ling, but a sickening, unbending crash to the steps. Drama, pathos, tragedy, are in this scene. It is but one episode in a story which, thruout, stirs ‘human emotion to the depths. “‘Earthbound’ was fllmed under the direction of T. Hayes Hunter. CHAVING FOR EXCITEMENT THEME “THE RESTLESS SEX” The reasons for Robert W, Cham- ber's popularity as a writer of bril- liant society storles are demonstrated anew in the picture version of “The Restless Sex,” which came to the Elk9 theatre last evening for a three day’s run. Pretty Marion Davies is the star. The lively romance and elaborate artistic backgrounds make | the production unusually pleasing. “The ‘Restless Sex™ is of course, around Stephanie Cleland, a society girl with an inborn craving for ex- citement and ambition to experience life to the full. She is the adopted daughter of John Cleland, a million- aire, and it comes as a shock to her at the later's death to learn that his zon, Jim, her lifelong companiom, 1s not her real brother. Following a midnight adventure at a rozdhouse, Stephanie is led into an unfortunate marriage and subsequent unhappi- ness, from which Her love for Jim finally extricates her. Ralph Kellard and Carlyle Blagk- ‘well are prominent in the cast sup- porting Miss Davies. The pictire was mdde by Cosmopolitan Productions for Paramount release and was di- rected by Robert Z. Leonard. Fran- ces Marion, wrote the continuity. “THE WONDERFUL CHANCE” AT THE ELKO WEDNESDAY The popularity of Eugene O'Brien grows apace with cach succeeding production, and it is expected that his new Selznick picture, “The Won- derful Chance,” which wil be shown at the Elko theatre Wednesday and Thursday will delight the many fans who have long considered this star their favorite screen player. In “The Wonderful Chance,’” O'Brien is seen as a character that is somewhat reminjscent of Jimmy as ‘an Arabian steed, and according | to ‘the Moslem creed, with a soul as ed in the mosque, whither she has| tense drama and stirring situations. sunfptuous production by Tod Brown- E THEATRES Loan story is along entirely different lines.

AMERICAN OFFICER HERO IN QRIENTAL ROMANCE Critics who have had an oppor< tunity to obtain a pre-release view of the latest Universal Jewel produc- tion, “The Virgin of Stamboul,” star- ring Priscilla Dean, have been un- stinted in their praise of this pictur- esque photodrama which is announc- ed for néxt Wednesday and Thursday | at the Grand theatre. » | The story was written especially/ for Priscilla Dean by H. H. Van Loan and it is said that he kept her vision before him constantly during the months he was at work on this color- ful romance, the scenes of which are laid in Stamboul, the wickedest city in the city. The result is, from all accounts, that Van Loan has supplied Miss Dean with a role that permits hér-to.exercise the thousand and one phases. of - her magnetic art. The central figure in ‘“The Virgin of Stamboul” is Sari, a beggar girl on the streets of the Turkish city, wild the filth in the streets.

Bellef in nuspicious days is “hob- goblin’” in the path of the medical missionary in India, Dr. Degenring sald. Soon after an Indjan child is vorn, the soothsayer reveals to the family its lucky star and its lucky days. Indians who fall Il or are hurt in an accldent’ persist in waiting for their ausplcious days before send- | ing for a doctor. The Indians, the physician explained, attribute epidem- fcs to the wrath of varlous goddesses of 11l health, adding “there is a god- dess of malaria and a goddess of smsllpox—a goddess, in fact, of every recurring epidemic.” Though they be- lleve In goddesses, they are hard to convince concerning germs and they have no idea of quarantine for con- taglous discases, Doctor Degenring sald. | Kidnap Chinese From Legativi. Kang-Shih-to, formerly treasurer of the Anfu club, who since the recent downfall of that alleged pro-Japanese organization has been in hiding In the Russlan legation and for whose arrest a reward of $10,000 was offered by the Chinese - government, has just been the victim of-a coup on the part of Chinese servants employed in the le- gatlon, according to a dispatch from Peking, China. They entered Kang's bedroom in the early hours of the morning, bound him, wrapped him in a bed quilt and hoisted him over the legation wall. Accomplices dellvered him into. the hands of the squad of gendarmes which had been waiting for weeks for an opportunity to cap- tare him and other refugees supposed to have hidden in foreign legutions. Woman's Latest Veniuio, An engineering factory, organized, controlled, and managed by women, who also execute the orders at the lathé and in the foundry—that is the | Iatest enterprise of the “weaker sex.” It is one which deserves every suc- cess.

The world has largely recovered | from the mlschief that Napoleon did; perhaps that amount of mischlef had ! to be done by some agency; perbaps ! his carcer, or some such'career, was a necessary conseguence of the world's mental unpreparedness for the. crisls of the'revolution.

No doubt scale bas something to do with the matter; he was.a “record,” the rbcord plunger; but there i8 something more In it than that. There | is an appeal in Napoleon to something ' deeper nnd more fundamental in hu- | man nature than mere astonishment at | bigness.

We are tdo ready to ac- cuse them of robbery. As a matter of fact, they arc a very fine lot. “I once knew an engineer who was traveling in Nevada. He had a good deal of money with him, and one night he put up at a very primitive hotel in the wilds. ' The landlord of this| hotel looked like a brigand, and the englneer could hardly sled for fear, “Nothing, however, happened, and the next morning he set off with a re- leved heart. The mountain trail was a lonely one, and on toward noon, in a wild and desolate spot, three des- peradoes fell on him, emptied his va- lise and pockets, and made off. “The engineer was couvinced that | the landlord was at the bottom of this holdup. Accordingly he turned back to notify the authorities. But he had only gone a mile or so when he met a mounted messenger, who handed him a small packet.

The actress, not to be out- done, told the poet how much she en- joyed reading “Hiawatha,” which she pronounced Hee-a-vatere.
