PLOT IS.INTRICATE DISPLAYS ORIGINALITY There are inany points of excel- lence in “The Wonderful Chance,” a Selznick Pi..ure featuripg Eugene O’Brien, which is showlhg at the Elko theatre tonight, last times, and chief among them is. the excellent work of the star, who portrays the role of “Swagger” Barlow, a gentle- man crook. Mr. O'Brien makes: this | character real and appealing, and when Barlow tackles “one more job” to help a pal who is sick and in dire need he has the sympathy of ever observed. y H. H. Van Loan has given the story a plot that is intricate and clever, and which displays marked originality, especially in the incl- dent when the leader of a band of kidnappers seizes an English lord in order that one of them may imper- sonate him in society, and then the kidnapper discovers that -another crook has “beat them to it,” and i& already masquerading as the noble- man himself and “getting away with Action, always essential in ‘any good moticn picture and in crook plays particularly, is. provided in abundance, and during the entire hour or so that “The Wonderful Chance’ 'is on the screen there is not a moment but what some exciting in- cident is being enacted. An excellent cast, composed of Martha Mansfield, Warren Cook, lda Darling, Joseph Flannagan, Tom Blake and others, portray the variou roles, and Director George Archain- baud has assembeled a number of types that furnish “‘atmosphere’” that is vividly realistiqe.

Donald McAdams.is a Scotch en- tertainer, always an attraction, and the bill closes with Eagle and Romana, a nevelty Indian act, whose special scenery and costumes assist in mak- ing a fitting closing to a well chosen,: diversified vaudeville entertainment. “The Secret Gift,” a five-part photo- play,, will precede the vaudeville.

According to the sfatement of James N, Lambert, presiding elder of the New Zealand mission of the Mor | mon .church, and President K.
