And the gifted screen star is con- vinced that her picture version of which will be shown Sunday at the Rex will rank as her greatest the story by Rita Weiman, theater, work. *1 never felt more enthusiastic about a production than 1 do this one,” she said after viewing the last foot of film in her own projecting room. - “1 am sure it will rank with “Revelation,” which I have felt was my most satisfactory picture thus far.. The story simply told itself.” Never before has Mme Nazimova been provided with a story that gave her greater opportunities for use ot her genius than in this production. In the dual role of pampered star who thinks only of her own success, then as the gifted but inexperienceu actress who rises to unexpecteu heights almost against her own wili, she makes full use of her real beauty and her ability to portray a sympa- thetic part convincingly. It is the tale of a woman of uxa- disputed genius who, having climbeu to the top rung of the ladder ot suc- cess, suddenly finds that there is something else to be attained. The opportunity to picture this something else in a new anu touching manner is presented with results that can be appreciated only by those who view “the finished production. For the opening scenes ‘of the pic- .-ture, a complete theatre—stage, audi torium and dressing rooms—was erecied on one of the big enclosed stages on. Metro’s lpts. Not only was the theatre of a size and sealing ca- pacity that put:it in a ciass with many of New York’s best known piay houses, but it was designed, down to| the last seat to conform to the re- quirements of the story. “WHAT WOMEN LOVE” AT THE REX TODAY Far down thru the glowing opales- cent water of Honolulu Bay, two 1ig- ures were grappling to the aeath. One was the gorilla-like figure ot a| man; the other the slender figure ot a girl. ‘I'wenty feet above them the barua- cled keel of a tramp schooner wal- lowed in the swell and cut off the light of the moon. | 1L was Lhe strangest fight that was ever waged. The man was tighting for the girl and she fought against! him, with strength born of despera-| tion, for her honor. The incident is to be vividly de-| picted tonight at the Rex theater when Annette Kellerman appears in her greatest modern comedy urama, “What Women Love.” | : Bernard McConville, author of many of the Mary Pickford, Norma Talmadge, and Lillian Gish screen successes, wrote a wonderfully dra- matic story around Miss Kellerman's ability to live under water and the, gripping battle scene is just one high light in the amazing production. “What Women Love,” a First Na- tional Attraction, was produced by Sol Lesser, the young Pacific coast chieftain of the First National Ex- hibitore' Circuit. It was directed by Nate Watt, who was previously iden-| tified with the Lois Weber produc- tions. Wheeler Oakman, Walter Long, the famous Bull Montana, Carl Ull- man and Ralph Lewis are among the lamous players who support the star ,What Women Love' begins tonight at the Rex theatre. 1 “CRIMSON SHOALS” AT THE REX THURSDAY | In many features “Crimson Shoals” | is the most unique picture in which | Francis Ford has ever been seen. Re-| markable triple exposures feature the | production thruout... Ford is seen in| the multiple character of son, futher and grandfather.

Katterjohn, the author of “The Flame of the Yukon,"” the Triangle Play, in which Dorothy Dai- ton is the star and which will be shown at the Grand theatre next Wednesday and Thursday in addi- tfon to being known as the creator and producer of many successful pho- toplay features has won fame as be- ing the publisher of the first maga- zine printed for photoplaywrights. Mr. Katterjohn had achieved a rep- utation as a nowspaper and maga- zine writer before he entered the mo- tion picture field. He has been suc- cescively free lance author, scenario writer and editor, director and pro- ducer. e is known as having de- veloped some of the most distinguish- “ed authors and directors in motion ..pictures work teday. He made a special study of Alas- ka and the rush to the gold fields of the North for “The Flame of the Yuken.”” The criticism of many who knew the mining camps in the time of the protoplay is that it is an ex- act reflection of those times. “The Flame of the Yukon™ is a Nazimova has found ex- pression in her latest Metro produc- when it company’s shion. d Chester Conklin, the famous Sen-/ nett comedian will also appear in his newest two part comedy, “The Soft: Boiled Yegg.”, WANDA HAWLEY PLEASES | IN CLEVER COLLEGE COMEDY" Rollicking, good-natured,” clean ' fun; democratic college students and | a snobbish heiress—all mixed in with! clever incidents and an exciting fcot- | ball game—make “The Snob,” a pho- | toplay of exceptional entertainment; values. - It will be shown for the last time at the Grand tonight. i Pldying the name role is Wanda| Hawley, the clever Realart star. is a college visitor who snubs the college football hero because he! waits on table at the student’s din ing club. She later repents and! makes amends in a smashing climax that is one of the most interesting| | features of a cleverly conceived story, | which readers of the Saturday Even- ing Post will recall as a William J. Neldig offering of September, 1918. | William E. Lawrence is convincing yin the Jeading male role. And of | course Walter Hiers and Sylvia Ash- |ton are funny in. their fat and jovial way. ‘Hiers i3 even better than usual | :s the ‘“fixer” who gets out of ono| trouble into another, while Miss Ash- toh has another of her vulgar.'zne\v-;s rich roles. | i “HELD BY THE ENEMY” | LAST TIMES TONIGHT The loyalty and love of the women of the South during the American Civil War is admirably Gepicted in a new striking Paramount picturiza- ition of William Gillette’s play, “Held | iby the Enemy,” .whichk will be shown ilast times at the Elko theatre to- night. The locale of the story is a South- ern town newly captured by North- jern troops. A young widow, who be- lieves that her husband has been sialn in battle, falls in love with a young Northern Colonel, who pro- tects her from the looters. She i3 about to accept his proposal of mar- iriage, when her husband appears on |spy duty. He is arrested by the Col- onel, and thruout the remainder of the story, the dutiful little wife] makes many sacrifices in. her attempis ito save her husband from death. The culminating situation is one of the most dramatic ever presented on the silversheet. | The roles are enacted by an all-star cast, including Agnes Ayreb, Wauua Hawley, Lewis Stone, Jack Holt, Kob- ert Cain, Walter Hiers, Robert Brow- er, C. H. Jeldert, Josephine Crowell and’Lillian Leighton. “SILK HOSIERY” CONSTIiTUTES VERITABLE FASHION DISPLAY Appearing in a Paramount picture of supreme appeal and beauty, Enld Bennett will be seen gt the Elko the- atre In her latest Thomas H.

Physicians are always working upon some method by which tumors may be exactly lo- cated without injuring the patient.

Farrell United Fresc Correspondent i New York, Jan. 31.—Many a moon will rell around before Benny Leonard _is forced to vacate the| lightweight throne room. In tact, New Yorkers believe that through lack of good foes to conquer, Benny will be forced eventually to mingle with welterweights or join Jack McAuliffe a: a retired unde-| feated champion. | When the champion recently dis-| posed of Ritchie Mitchell, the classy! Milwaukee contender, he swept aside the last and only dangerous con- tender in the class. Mitchell is far superior to Willie champions”; he is more courageous inasmuch as he agreed to me2t Leon-| ard for a sum less than one-half of | what ‘“‘the most logical contenders” wanted. Mitchell is good enough to be within a hair’s breadth of the championship. In any other day but Leonard’s he would be king of the class. So, in knocking out Mitchell, Leonard proved his greatness. A veteran of nine years experience at twenty-five year. of age, Leonard, in the opinion of many old-timers, is the peer of Joe Gurs, considercd jthe greatest of all lightweights.

He showed that a wise head rests on his shoulders ir the Mitchell bout when, after having knocled the Mil- waukee boy down three times he was felled for a full count by a wild swing of the desperate boy. The champion’s pride was hurt, he was amazed at finding himself on the floor for the first time since he won the title. A less crafty boxer would have jumped to his feet with a forced smile to show that it was an accident or something. Freddy Welsh did that in his fight with Leonard and he lost the titile. Perhaps Leonard thought of that when he went down. At any rate he stayed down for the count of nine and came up recovered. After the bout, the champion de- nied that it was a fluke fall. “I went down beforo an awful wallop |and it taught me something,” he said. |“It never does to get thinking that you're to ogood.
