\ { “TWIN BEDS” AT THE -.REX LAST TIMES TONIGHT ,..Every: day some.new luminary of . film land, growing tired of laboring for others, abandons his or her em- . ployer‘and proceeds to enter his own | company into the field. The latest ‘atar to join the ranks of independent producers is Carter DeHaven, who, “with his wife, will be seen in “Twin Beds”, his"first independent produc- tion in conjunction with Associated First. National Pictures, at the Rex today. Mr. and Mrs. DeHaven have formerly béen associated. in picture work, with Universal, and later with Goldwyn and Paramount. Their entrance in the field as independent producers should provide something really fine in comedy pictures ant from reports of “Twin Beds” thei start has been very auspicious. The DeHavens are the proud own- ers of a fine studio in Hollywood. California, with one of the finest and most completely equipped ‘“‘work shops” in the big movie settlement Not satisfied with owning their own studio, these popular favorites have purchased a beautiful home in the same city—to avoid, so Mr. DeHaver says, any such occurrence as those that make up the plot of “Twin Beds.” “ISOBEL” SHOWING AT REX THEATRE BEGINNING SUNDAY One of the interesting events fo lovers of the photoplay of the seasor is at the Rex theatre, where Jame Oliver ‘Curwocd’s latest story or the Northland, ““Isobel, or The Trail' End” opened for a run of several days. | This film drama is a product of the directorial talent of Edwin Ca- rewe, and is presented with a cast which features House Peters and charming Jane Novak. Of all the Curwood stories ,it has been acknowledged that none has the breadth and human appeal of his famous novel, “Isobel,” from which this interesting epic of a Northland romance was adapted. Those who have read this volume will find that the photoplay version adheres clogely to the lines of action and characted portrayed:as laid ‘down by the author. Edwin Carewe, in fact, has been said to have given photo- play fans their first real glimpse of Curwood; in other words, he has re- tained the full power of the author’s gweeping character portrayals and his tense and exciting climaxes. Wihén presented for the first time at the Hotel Astor Grand Ball Room in New York recently, reviewers de- clared it was the greatest story of the Northwest every filmed.

Friday, is well known and a personal friend of Mr. and Mrs. G. Oliver Riggs of this city. In speaking of him, ™Mr. Riggs ays, “We knew him several years 1go when he was a real cowboy in Viontana. He became a member of the famous Cowboy Band that the ‘ate Louis Hill organized and sent to | Chicago, where Bill created a sensa- tion as a soloist, later being sent to New York to study for Grand Opera. This proved too confining for the cow boy, so he went into vaudeville, and the last we heard of him was when 1e was playing the Orphium corcuit, ntil we saw that he was advertised ‘or showing here.

Parker Read, Jr., produc- fon released thru the W. W. Hodkin- >n Corporation which will be shown it the Grand theatre Saturday and Sunday, has in the title role of this picture what critics and Mr. Bos- worth himself, declare to be better suited to him than any role he has thus far essayed. As “Bucko McAllister,” the brute master who rules the crew of his weather-beaten old schooner, and all B Chess vs. Checkers. Chess appeals to matare minds, and wood supplies ‘most of the uccoytré- ments with which it is played, Some of the best are of ebony and boxwood, but very satisfactory. gines may be ‘played with yellow poplar, bass wood, walnut, maple and birch outfits, says the Amerlcan Forestry Magazine. The same hoids true on checkers, but that game usually is rated a little lower than chess in scientific points, though no less an authority than Edgar Allan Poe holds that as a mental exercise of the highest and purest sort check- ers surpass chess, others with whom he comes in con- - tract by sheer force of his giant- like strength, the popular star does work-that for convincing realism has seldom been equalled on the screen. Tndeed, so true does the characteriza- tion ring, that in viewing the picture one_has great difficulty in belteving that it is acting, and not “the brute master” himself. * 4 FAMILY COMPIICATIONS LEAD T0O UNHAPPY UNION Her father was dishonest, and he —the man who loved her—knew it. But the girl was blissfully ignorant of the family disgrace, and he was loath to break the news. to her. ‘When he refused to help the fa- to this city after repeating its suc- |ther and made the latter end his life, cessful New York premiere in other complications ensued, which are told large cities of the country. Don’t miss it, at the Rex, Sunday. | Prey.’ “THE SPEED MANIAC” AT REX ON SATURDAY Tom Mix, the William Fox star who 1is said to have reached the high water mark of his screen work ir “The Speed 'Maniac,”” which is to be shown next Saturday at the Rex theatre, has had a most thrilling ca- reer, both before and after entering motion pictures. It is some of this interesting and exciting material, oth as to stunts and events, that ix 18 putting into his picture work making it a seven-day wonder of the photoplay world., ‘Tom Mix was reared on the plains of the great southwest, the cattle country of the world. He has beer cowpuncher, deputy sheriff, sheriff state and national enforcement offi- cer and Texas Ranger. He was chief scout in the Spanish-American war in Cuba and the Philippines, fought in the Boxer uprising in China, »n¢ has heen an invader of Mexico. The adventure which Mix prizes . most. however, i8 his western hunting trip with Theodore Roosevelt as that mighty hunter’s guide and compa- nion. Later he took part in Roose- velt's preeidential inaugural cere- monies, and their friendship contin- ued to the end of Roosevelt's life. Mix might be called a genius for work. He is filled with an enthu~ iasm that amounts to inspiration. He draws the business of his pictures out of his own past; he thinks in terms of picturization just as some folks have learned to think 4 a for- eign language. . Because of this remarkable exper- ferices he is able, as is no other motion picture actor, to put on the screen the real life of the west he is picturlig. For the same reason, be- cause he has been a daredevil and a -king of adventure in private life, the stunts he films are,genuine to the last degree—even to the kick of the dust when the real bullets hit the trail on the track of the bandit. It is this wonderful ability and preparation to put realism on the screen that brought Tom Mix to the fop .with lightning speed, from the comic two-reelers that he first used to such photoplays as ‘‘The Speed Manias,” a claseic of western adven- ture, | DR. BUCKLEY TO GIVE EXTRA i PROGRAM AT LAST APPEARANCE An extra long and varied program = wdll"mark the last appearance at the @rand theatre of the famous.Dr. Buckley, the mental wizard, -whost ‘orystal gazing, mind reading, and hypnotic ability has been the talk of the city for the past week. Tonight he will repeat the act of breaking the stone on a man’s chest. the needle stuit, the placing of four men on the body of another whose body is suspended between- two chairs, by his head and feet. Several subjects have been arrang- ed for so that every chair on the stage will be filled, and the comedy part of the program will be of extra' ‘ Jength and crammed full of new, . stunts. with gompelling interest in ‘‘The ‘the photoplay, with Alice Joyce as the girl, which will be shown Jlast times, at the Elko the- atre tonight. But the girl was a ‘rump, and risked everything to save the family. Happily, her sacrifice was not taken advatitage of to the full, and her misfortunes were brought to a close. — BIG DRAMATIC MOMENTS IN OLIVE THOMAS PLAY That Olive Thomas s capable of the strongest of emotional acting is ‘emonstrated in her latest Selznick Picture, “Youthful Folly,” which is nnounced for the Elko theatre to- ‘orrow and Saturday. She has the ole of a young Southern girl whe Inds herself plunged into a mael- strom of intrigue and scandal. She 's married to a man who made her h.s wife merely for a blind so he could carry on an affair with another woman, who happened to be Nancy’'s ~ousin. The dramatic situations arising from this unusual arrangement are aufficient to tax the capabilities of any actress but Miss Thomas arises to every occasion and gives a per- formance that will be long rememb- ered as one of the best of her screen characterizations. “THE RIGHT TO LOVE" AT ELKO ON §7™™*¥ The New York Evening Telegram ~ays of the picture to appear at the Wlko next Sunday, Monday and Tues- day: *“The Right to Love” presente’ at the Criterion Theatre for the first time proved to bé a fitting successor to “Humoresque.” Mae Murray and David Powell play the leading roles in the George Fitzmaurice produc- tion, which is the third super-produc- tion to be presented at the Criterion since Hugo Reisenfeld took over the house.
