! s . i TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 25, 1921 “THE CRADLE OF COURAGE” 3 THEATRE TQNIGHT %%T)'E\E‘Kfoancy William™ S. Hart, western hero and frontier bad man in - a score of pictures, as a policeman? Well, ‘he is just that in his latest production for Paramount ““The Cradle of Courage,” which scored a decided- hit yesterday on its presenta- tion before an enthusiastic audience at the Elko theatre, where this feat- ure appears last times tonight. The old saying that “it takes a thief to catch a thief” is exemplitied in'this photoplay in a sense, but this is in no wise the theme of the story. “gquare” Kelly, portrayed by Mm Hart has been a safecracker who is fighting front and who becomes a po- liceman in furtherance of his plan to live straight. Of course, there is a pretty girl who inSpires this lofty gentiment in Kelly and strengthens his purpose to relinquish his crimin- al carjer. When Kelly dons his policeman’s _ uniform, there is action aplenty. He visits summary punishment upon the leader of the crook band with which - he 'was associated and the latter treacheryously slays Kelly’s brother, he pays penalty with his life at Kel- 1y and the crook leader is one long to est scenes provided by the story, al- though the fistic battle between Kel- 1y and the crook leader is oen long to be remembered by the spectators. 1t mpust be admitted that “The Cradlé of Courage’ 'is a ratling good _picture from ‘every standpoint. ‘Adapted and directed by Lambert Hillyer, it is presented by an un- Litile play: opposite the star and "Thomas Santschi has a strong role. «A FIGHTING COLLEEN” AT A lot of good inside information on how to wage a political campaign in a tenement district is provided by Vitagraph's new picture, “‘A Fighting Colleen.” This production, with Bes- sle Love as star, will be shown at the Elko theatre on Wednesday ned thursday. “A Fighting Colleen” reveals a hot mayorality campaign. It shows how the candidates, who probably have had scant time for the underworld 359 days of the year, suddenly evince a touching compassion for that dis- trict on the one or two days just be- fore election.

Here, pointed out, is a sincere and authen- tic picture of dramatic material treated in a sympathetic and digni- fied manner, with ever so slight a wink of the eye on the part of the tearned jurist. Not long. lowe-er does the plot remain in the atmos- phere of staid drama, for the jurist in order to convince the fea’ous hride of the innocence of her bridegroom, tells a story of his owu experience when he too was a bridegroom: the said tory’s purport being to discredit circumstantial evidence. 1t is this story that forms the bulk of the episode depicted in “Love. Honor and ~Behave”—episodes ' that bring Murray back to his traditional characterizations ' in hifarious run and thrilling predicaments. Murray’: story which is seen on the sereca hut spoken to her, convinces the piau Marie of the injustice of her suspi- cions and the integrity of her hus- band’s love. It incidentally bears a moral tor the married and the un- married, but mainly -it promotes mirth, unrestricted laughter and- gen- uine thrills. “STOLEN ORDERS” AT REX 'TODAY AND WEDNESDAY A terrific fight in the car of a dir- igible balloon is one of the big feat- ures in William A. Brady's big feat- ure, “Stolen Orders”. The fight ends in the combatants falling from the car into the ocean below. All of this you see plainly in this spectaculur and sensational production. You see the men fighting, you see them fall from the car,-and you see their fall into the water. Not a single foot of this thrilling episode is faked. It [s votes leaps off the screen in a strong visunl message. But politics Is only a background for the stronger story of love that ap- pears in this picture. Miss Love Is cast in a delightful role of a little Irish girl of the tenements. She ex- hibits her usual capacity for produc- ing laughter and tears from: her spec- tators. BLUE STREAK McCOY AT GRAND TOMORROW Harry Carey has given tocal thea- tre goers evidence of his skill in a number of photodramas during the past several years, but it is doubtful if he has ever presented a more ap- pealing and human character than that he may bring happiness to a pal. story of that title, which is to be shown at the Grand theatre tomor- row and Thursday. It gives him an opportunity for his good humor, his human nature and his tense dramatic power. 1t+is the story of a man who deems himself unworthy of a great love and who tries to condone his past .y ser- vice and self sacrifice; of a two-fisted man who disguises his feelings -s0 that he may bring happiness to a pal “Laughing Gas"—a two-part Cen- tury comedy will also be shown. SAXAPHONE TRIO TO APPER AT GRAND THEATRE FRIDAY The saxaphone, newest of all well known musical devices has in the past ten years, suddenly become one of the, most popular instruments of entertainment. The Fairfield Trio, headline act at the Grand theatre Friday, are three finished musicians who not only are artists on the sax- aphone, but equally proficient with the banjo, cornet and Hawaiian gui- tar. Their musical numbers, trios, solos and mixed trios, will easily be the feature of the program, both aft- -ernoon and evening. Friday only. “CURTAIN” AT THE REX THURSDAY AND FRIDAY The first night of a new theatrical production is always the hardest on all parties concerned in its success. The star and actors are on the verge of nervous prostration—the manager is on edge'and even the stage hands are keyed up to something like vague interest in.thelr work. Then comes the conclusion of the per- formance. 'By' this time the playirn and management can tell intuitively whether the “piece has gotten over.” They seem to sense it in the air. And then—oh rapture—if it is a g0, a ‘big celebration is in order. ‘The best of the land is nome too good 'for theso children of the mimic world. Someone is bound to give “a party” after the show and it is here that they give vent to their mental relief from the strain of long rehear- sals in"a most hilarious manner. " It is some party. . The motion picture producers have at last recorded this eventful period ot the theatre on the screen. il The| all real and, being real, it'is of course extraordinarily exciting. “Stolen Ordere.” the biggest feat- ure production of the year, has been secured by the Rex theatre and will be shown on Tuesday and Wednesday. In seeing this superb super-feature you not only sce the biggest thrills of the year, but you'also see six fam- ous stars—Kitty Gordon, Carlyle Blackwell, Montagu Love, June El- ¥{dse, George McQuarrie and Madge Evans—the mrost notable cast ever assembled for the presentation of a feature picture. From all .viewpoints, “‘Stolen Ord- ers” is unexcelled—in story, acting, year’s.biggest feature. CATFISH CLIMB SMOOTH WAL Certain Species Equipped With a P culiar Suction Apparatus That Makes Feat Really Easy. An interesting account of the climb- fng catfish of Colombin (Arges mare moratus) was published a few years ago by R. D. 0. Johnson. These fish can climb, by means of suctlon ap- paratus, not only up the steeply-in- clined bed of mountaln torrvent, but even up a smooth, vertical surface. Mr. Johnson saw some of them climb a vertical distance of 18 feet in halt an-hour, up u wall of rock over which trickled a thin film of water.

Burmese Fond of Flowers. Who would sSuspect that In- the troplcs, In sun-drenched Burma itself, thole are acres of gardens given over to nothing else but the cultivation of roses! All through the hot weather, in Lower Burma, they flourish; not till the rains break are they beaten to edrth and almost washed away. The Burmese are very fond of flowers; no Burmese house is without them; they are lavished on the pagodas, and women decorate their hair with them.
