WILLIAM RUSSELL IN “SIX FEET ! FOUR"—SUNDAY AT GRAND The freedom of movement, the straightforwardness of manner that is the star's, is characteristic of the photoplay. It is dashing western mel- odrama told with just the light touch of humor necessary to relieve the strain of concentration. This touch is provided by the star, ice is,as ever, finish- ed and exhilwrating. Yet there is within the gix heels action gnough for a half dozen ordinary features. The cast is evenly /balanced and well chosen. Thru the difficult maze of complications provided by the nov- el the various members move with easy grace And convincing assurance. ‘William Russell as Buck Thornton beginning 0 in “Six Feet Four” with the two- part “Bringing Up Father” comedy entitled “Jiggs in Society”—will be shown Sunday and Monday at the Grand theatre. POLLYANNA” AT THE REX THEATRE TOMORROW ONLY Mary Pickford as “The Glad Girl” in “Pollyanna”, released by the Unit- ed Artists Corporation, will spread the sunshine of Eleanor H. Porter’s philosophy at the Rex theatre, show- ing Saturday only. This picture is said to be the best vehicle in which Miss Pickford has ever appeared. The story, written by All happy, things, may t greeting bring. —J gla Best wishes an *Wishing you a every happines: New Year. our many new tend our New Music Sto; comedy and | you 101’ the New Year. —BGCULDUC & CO.

The story, briefly, is this Pollyanna Whittiér, played by Pickford. was the daughter of ionary in the Ozark mountains. Her father, an invalid, died when she was ten years of age, whereupon Pol- lyanna went to live with a “stern, iaustere aunt, Polly Harrington, in the New England village of Beldings- ville. » Her life with Aunt Polly was very unhappy. In spite of this, however, Pollyanna managed to play the glad game hef father. had taught her, making it a practice to always be glad that things were not worst. She won many disciples to her philoso- phy in Beldingsville, but, try as she might she was unable to touch the heart of her severe aunt, until one day a great accident occurred. FIRST OF CLYDE COOK’S COMEDIES AT REX SUNDAY Two continents have screamed with laughter at Clyde Cook's jell Legs.

Dashing, gallant Tom Mix. more| at home on the back of a horse than in a chair, roping champion of many states, sheriff of a western county, crack shot and renowned actor, is well fitted to-the part of Tex Benton, hero of ‘“The Texan” and now of “Prairie Trails.” Indeed, the filming of this second Hendyx novel is due, largely to the great success scored vy Mis-in the first., Lovers of romance and outdoor life as well as those who seek hairrais- ing thrills, may count upon good en- tertainment whenever Tom Mix is cn the bill and “Prairie Trails,” is said o be. by long odds his best picture. The .director is Gieorge Marshall, and the supporting cast includes Kath- leen O’Connor, Glorfa Hope, Charles K. French and Sid dean “THRU EYES OF MEN” AT REX TODAY ONLY On Friday Frank Mayo, tihe dis- tinguished young star, will appear in his lutest photoplay, “Thru the Eyes of Men,”” at the Rex theatre. This story iglls of the thrilling young American millionaire and the beautiful premier equestrienne of the trcupe of Barkaro the Great. The] showman comes to a fashionable sea- side resort with his wonderful attrac- tion, and Leila Leighton, the star, and the young millionaire meet. It is llove at first sight, but Bakaro steps in and the story starts with a smash- ing scene. One of the most import- ant characters in “Thru the Eyes of knees, elastic joints, liquid muscles, India-rubber body. In London William Fox found him and signed him to appear in Clyde Cook comedies; but first the funny man had to put in a season at New York Hippodrome in order to fulfill 1 prior contract, Clyde Cook has a style all his own. There is nothing else like him under the sun. Perhaps it's just as well. Prolonged laughter is wearying and human endurance has its limits. For one thing you never can tell just Low Clyde Cook’s extremities are go- ing' to conduct themselves. Under circumstances wherein the normal person would take a straight-forward course, Clyde’s perverse members are apt to sail a northeast by southwest route; and strange and wonderful wre the convolutions amidship. Clyde’s head has a habit of annear- ing in the.most disconcerting places. As his legs revolve to all four quar- ters at once, you never can tell whether the simpleton is coming ‘or going. Absurd—eh, what? TOM MIX COMING IN “PRAIRIE TRAILS” AT REX Tom Mix comes to town Sunday, Manager Brinkman of the Rex the- atre announced that he has secured {the attraction “Prairie Trails” the latest Tom Mix picture in which the famous cowboy star again is seen in .the role of Tex Benton, the hero ot James B. Hendryx's popular western It 1s said to be the best Men,” is played by Master Ben Alex- ander, one of D. W. Griftith’s proteges who will be remembered for his\re- markable work in “The Hearts of the World,” and the ‘“Unpardonable Sin.” This talented young boy pla)q the role of little Billy who becomes the storm center in the fight between Allen the American, and Barkaro the Arab, for the possession of the beau- titul Lelia Leighton. There are thrills galore, beautiful women, magnificent settings, and those who love horses will see a score of ArabiAn thoroughbreds who were bLrought from Asia to this country to appear in this picture. “BURGLAR PROOF” MAKES HIT AT ELKO THEATRE A_man so “tight” he was dubed “BuPglar Proof’ by acquaintances gave laughs by the score to those who patronized the Elko theatre last eve- ning. Bryant Washburn, the star, makes a clever distinction between a “tight wad” and a man who is sensibly thrifty. And “Burglar Proot” deserves special mention be- oause it isione country-boy-gaes-to- the-city-story in which the hero doesn’t marry the rural sweetheart! It appears, last times, at the Elko tonight. There are really two heroines in the picce. One is Jenny, the country girl, spoiled by the city into a gum- chewing, slang-using teacher in a d and hopeful his New Year OHN DALTON perity. nd greetings to 11 the joys and s for the coming BARBER SHOP friends we ex- wishes for a re, Kaplan Bldg.

Laura, on the other hind, is a city beauty who has remained sweet and. pure despite the temptation of the light- ed boulevards. Loifs. Wilson makes her usual hit in this attractive role. Mr. Washburn proves himself, as ever, the finished actor. The country boy, shamed because-he is broke, be- comes a “tightwad”. Then we see a change when ‘‘Burglar 'Proof” meets a girl Me loves, ending with the moral that the world hates a ‘tightwad. “THE BELOVED VILLAIN” AT ELKO SATURDAY ONLY Don’t even trust your best friend to o your proposing for you! Do that little job yourself or—well just see “The Beloved Villain’ 'when it comes to the Elko theatre -for showing tomorrow, Saturday only. In this latest Wanda'Hawley Realart comedy-drama the complications of the famous Priscilla, John Alden and Miles Standish situation are re-enact- cd, this time with a brilliance of wit one expects of a French setting. Other excellent players in the cast include Tully Marshall, Lilljan Leighton, F. Templar Powell, Robert Bolder and Marguerite McWade. Sam Wood directed the offering while Alice Eyton wrote the scenario. “AN OLD FASHIONED BOY” AT ELKO BEGINNING SUNDAY Charles Ray invariably is artistic in his country boy impersonations and in “An Old Fashioned Boy,” his latest Thomas H. Ince production for Paramount release which appears at the Elko Sunday. Monday and Tues- day he does not violate the standard he has fixed for himself. The Ray fans packed the theatre and gave mere or less pronounced evidence of their appreciation of the picture. :Mr. Ray has typical role in “An Cld: Tashioned Boy” of which he makes the most. As David Warring- ton, a bashful suitor for the hand of a rather snobbish- girl, he displays all those mannerisms which have con- tributed to make him fanjous in his ezpecial field of entertainment. His trials when a trio of ‘boisterous chil- dren are placed in his care and when to amuse them he engages in a sort of taffy pulling contest in a sort less direful results, provoke many a laugh. How he finally wins the love of the girl he woes, makes a worth while picture. Ethel Shannon as’the girl is ex- cellent. The support was clever and the work of the three juvenile play- ers was effective. Jerome Storm di- rected the picture of which Agnes Christine Johnson is the author.
