'xomr BOSWORTH AND ANNA Q. NILSSON AT GRAND Hobart Bosworth’s latest starring vehicle, “The Brute Master”, from the pen of Charmion K. London, will be the program today .and Sunday day at the Grand theatre. This is | a J. ‘Parker- Read, Jr., feature, re- leased thru the W. W. Hodkinson corporation and is sald by those who have viewed a pre-showing to give tnan any he has thus far essayed. Unusual opportunity for beautiful scenic effects is afforded by this story the locale of which is laid in the South Seas. The ‘brute master” is owner of a schooner which plys be- tween San Francisco and the South Sea [Islands. A ' picturesque old schooner, a fashionable tropical re- habited only by dark-skinned na- tives—all contribute their share to the charm of atmosphere. A large cast supports Mr. oBsworth in the feature production, headed by Anna Q. Nilsson, William <Conklin and Margaret Livingston. “THE RIGHT TO LOVE” SHOWS ..AT ELKO BEGINNING SUNDAY ‘The same quartet of film celebrities who made “On \With the Dance’ such a splendid success combined to make “The Right To Love,” which will be the screen attraction at the Elko the- atre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Geprge Fitzmaurice pro- duced the picture; Ouida Bergere fur- nished the scenario and Mae Murray and David Powell are the featured players. The picture is said to be a pleasing combination of beautiful scenes and dramatic action. The locale is Tur- key and the heroine, played by Miss Murray, is the wife of Lord Falkland, English representative there. Falk- land plays fast and loose with an- other woman and the result is a clash in which Richard Loring, a young American, slays the dissolute lord. By a clever twist the action is given a happy ending. ¥ “THE SPEED MANIAC” AT THE REX TODAY There is a very warm spot in the heart of Tom Mix, the Willlam Fox motion picture star, for animals. Here is an amusing story he told on Iimself during the fllming of his latest picture, “The Speed Maniac,” in which his famous horse Tony fig- ures prominently. “The Osage Indians have a pecu- liar custom of tying the pony of a dead man along side his grave,” said Mix. Food for a day or so is left near the pony. If the animal breaks away the Indians say the dead Indi- an was a good Indian and that his spirit has moved on to the happy hunting ground. But if the pony dies of starvation and thirst beside the grave the Indians have no good thoughts for the departed owner. Thus is judgment passed on the dead.” . Mix chuckled and continued: “Many bad Indians were thought good by the Osage tribe simply be- cause, whenever I found a pony tied by a grave, I turned it loose. Doubt-} lees 1 confused thé Thdians in their calculations, but I saved many a pony from a forlorn death.” Mix, and Tony do some absorbing 1y interesting things in “The Speed Maniac,” a photoplay of love and ra- pid action, which will be shown at the Rex thecatre today, and which i= said to be the best and biggest thing this brilliant star has done. “ISOBEL” OR “THE TRAIL'S END” AT REX SUNDAY Many of James Qliver Curwood’'s famous novels have reached the screen; many of .them have been the most successful photodrama of their time. But none of them has reached the silver-sheet with the breath of human appeal, heart interest and sus- pense which characterizes “Isobel; or, ‘The Trail’s End,” an Edwin Carewe prdduction, which features House Pe- ters and Jane Novak. | This throbbing romanse of the northwest to be presented at the Rex theatre Sunday, relates one of the most compelling romances it has been the fortune of this writer to witness. A cast, talented and extraordinarily typical, helps portray the powerful theme of the story, while direction. photography, setting, etc., are of the sort that arouses enthusiasm even in the layman. House Peters never had a role bet- ter fifted to his typical ruggedness and natural talent. Jane Novak, like- ‘wise, is cast in a character which her charm of manner and beauty make a thing alive. Both of these players have given a sympathetic touch to their characters which aids in mak- ing them things to be remembered in the annals of the photoplay. It has been called the best picture of the year—and it is certainly worth' seeing. VAUDEVILLE ACT SHOWING AT GRAND AGAIN TONIGHT Arrangements have been made to hold the four acts of vaudeville ‘which appeared at the Grand theatre last night, and they will appear as a special attraction in addition to the super-feature picture that has been arranged as the prosram for Saturday and Sunday, tonight omly. Judging from the applause last night, each and every act pleased the large audience. Morris Prince Duo has a variety of surprises and a line of talk that went over well. Wester- man and Hopkins, have a neat sketch and their singing duets were well done. "Bill Pruitt’s songs and stories were a distinct hit. The audience called him back for an encore ,but “Bill” couldn’t see it that way. Elec- tro and company are as pretentious an act a3 has eyer appeared in Be- midji and his woliderful stunts with electricity are the talk of the town today. “The Brute Master” with Hobart the star a role beter suited to him Bosworth and Anna Q. Nilsson will be shown with the vaudeville tonight. making it a double attraction, and the same picture will be shown Sun- day at the Grand theatre, | FRANK MAYO COMES TO GRAND MONDAY Frank Mayo plays three distinct personalities in his latest photodra- ma, “Honor Bound,” which s to be seen at the Grand theatre on Monday and Tuesday. He is first seen as an ir- responsible college youth, then-as a man who has bucked up and is mak- ing a success of his work, and finally as the “throwback”, who has revers- ed to type. The part gives Mayo an unusual . opportunity to display his dramatic skill. “YOUTHFUL FOLLY” AT ELKO AGAIN TONIGHT The Selznick picture starring Olive Thomas is again the feature attract- tlon for the Elko theatre tonight. The feature is entitled ‘‘Youthful Folly” and in it Miss® Thomas appears ag both star and author. She not only plays the leading role but is solely responsible for the . plot which s developed by the action. “Youthful ‘Folly’ 'is a story of do- mestic: intrigues and as ‘such might ba caHed a society drama. It has, however,ia world of action which Jats it {n the class of the refined melodramas which now are the pre- terred form of entertainment. There a jealous husband makes a murderous attempt upon_his rival and )wrlously wounds an innocent party. Craufurd Kent appears in leading support of Miss Thomas and other important members of the cast are Helen Gill, Hugh Huntley, and Har- ry Trusedale. A comedy is another attract| ion at the Elko tonight. ' “PRF. RIGFT TO LOVE” AT ELKO TOMORROW Married, against her will, to a taithless brute, had she the right to take the love that was offered her by the man of her heart? The dra- matic story is unfolded agaigst a lux- urious background in *“The Right to Love,” George Fitzmaurice’s new pro- duction, ‘which appears at the Elko theatre tomorrow, also on Monday and Tuesday. It's a Paramount super- fine. . Pretty Mae 'Murray and David Powell are the featured players. The story Iis about the young Am- erican wife of a rich Britisher. She leads 3 wretched existence under the same roff with her-tusband and ‘t'he same roof with her husband.and “the other woman.” Then the man she loves comes back into heg-Mfe, Under the warm Turkish moon”takes place the dramatic event that dets her free. Mr. Fitzmaurice’s ability to blend startling action with exquisitely beautiful settings was never better demongtrated than in “The Right to Love.” Added attractions are music by the Elko orchestra, Sunday evening and a comedy reel. e~ BOMBAY A CITY OF BEGGARS Government Is Planning Severe Meas- ures to Repress Nuisance That s Becoming Intolerable. Some time ago the government of Bombay appointed a committee to con- sider and formulate proposals for the pupose of suguestio; nmens- ures whereby the eve nuis- ance of professional begaary might be abolished. The committee has now completed its investigation anil has issued a report. The report shows that there are in Bombay city alone 5000 professional beggars, und the beggars in other parts bring the total for the presi- dency to over 60,000. The general conclusions of the committee are that there must be introduced at the earli- est opportunity an act for the preven- tion of professional beggary, which will be applicable to the whole of the presidency. Sadhus and fakirs, it is suggested, should be exempt from the operations of the act, which it is proposed should make begging a cognizable offeuse. Those who have visited India will doubtless recall with feelings of horror the terrible sights they have witnessed of beggars, many of them physical wrecks and suffering’ from loathsome diseases, seated about the roads so- liciting alms from passersby.~From the Times of India.

That is the-finding of industrial re- search, - hoardg.investigators ~of .that country. The London Chronicle reports that over a period of twenty weeks the output was registered and “graphs” were made. The workers gave their best on Wednesdays gnd Thursdays, but the output ‘on rday was' invariably low. When doubled (to equalize time) it is often lessithan 75 per cent of that on other days, Another important conclusion was that the skilled workman is much more regular in his output than the worker not so well qualified. He does not get the “tired Saturday feeling” SO soon. In some factories the output arises until Friday, but among the less skilled workmen it was found that Thurs- day was the best working day. An important consideration which the investigators kept in mind was that of the atmospheric condition in which work is done. Records of the alr conditions have been taken with the output retords. In various plants the Saturday out- put was so lew that-employers found it unprofitable to operate, so they closed down. From this it would ap- pear that on'a half day the worker does not give the average of a half day of production—Richard Spillane In the Philadelphia Public Ledger, . Houses Few—Less Divorce. France is finding one comfort in the housing shortage. Divorces are de- creasing in Paris and other French cities “because of the lack of houses and apartments.” Unable to find suitable places in which to live apart, disgruntled cou- ples in many places are composing their differences and <ontinuing to ‘ive under the same roof. During the frst three months of this year, 8,005 ecrees were pronounced in Paris lone, but since April the shortage of ouses has been making itself felt, vith the result that the number of livorce actions has been falling stead- ly. Lnst month the. number of ap- Mlications fell-below one thousand, and his month it is believed the number ¥l not reach the seven hundred mark. It is an ill wind, etc. Prehistoric Graveyard Unearthed. A prehistoric graveyard believed to be at least 2,000, yvears old has been unearthed near Stargard West Prus- sla, by German iuvestigators under the direction of Professor Zakrewskl. Tn one of the graves the excavators found six black urns and one red urn with white stripes filled with clay and ashes. Among the remains were some glittering substances which the inves- tigators believe once had been adorn- meuts of prehistoric men and women. Electricity in White House.
