Trail,” the Benj. B. Hampton production, released t through W. W. Hodkinson, which is coming to the Grand theater Satur- day and Sunday tells a sweet, noble love story filled with the glamour of high adventure and the rush . of breathless action. Robert McKim, Marguerite-De La Motte, Roy Stewart, Kathlyn Will- iams, Joseph J. Dowling, Virginia Caldwell, Ffederick Star, C. B. Mur- phy, -and a Dumber ‘of other fore- most artists of the screen,.interpret the story characters with a life and | virility that makes them live and yidol of the speaking stage, plays the breathe before the eyes of the spec- tator. The dramatic ability of Director Jack Conway as well as the supreme art of the players and the guiding hand of the master producer, helped to put into “The U. P. rrail” the powerful dramatic construction that makes the spectator thrill and laugh —and cry—as he sits breathless un- til the beautiful climax ends sus- pense. “The U. P. Trail” has about it the great, human qualities of love and supreme sacrifice. The characters are all played with such virility that there is no such thing as a neutral feeling toward them; each is loved or hated strongly as the case may be. Though laid in ore of the most colorful epochs of American history, the story could have been enacted in any land at any time. “Beauty Stanton,” a hard, bril- lant flame of a woman, falls in love with a clean young man whose cour- age has first won her admiration. He 1s in love with a sweet, innocent, winsome little girl. It falls to the ot ‘of “‘Beauty” to nurse the young man back to life and health, and she wins his gratitude, almost his love, when he thinks that the other girl is dead. Then learning otherwise, | the woman, realizing that this man she loves could not be as happy with her as with the little girl, brings| about her restoration to him, and in | 8o doing gives her lifo. /There are many Jaughs as well ag | tears in the play, happiness as well | as saddness, and the greatest happi-| ness in the end. On a moble theme is buildt in color, dramatic inci- | dent, and red-blood action a power- ful and appealing photoplay that will live forever in one's memory. “PARLOR.

In the film production Ruth Stonehouse will be Polly Hathaway, society reported on a ‘'scandall sheet,” played in the original stage| production by Florence Stone. “Par-! lor, Bedroom and Bath" will be {only-in tlie minds of Mr. Stringer’s| Latin quarter, Greenwich Village.

The story has to do with the disillusioning process, as accomplished by ber more level-| headed sweetheart, and her escape | from the snares that were set for her. The spirit of The Village has been revived in the picture where “The | Pirate’s Den"” and numerous familiar corners of the district about it have: been faithfully reproduced. It will be hard to convince the seasoned: New Yorker that he is not looking i at a .photographic reproduction -of those sections of his own city that are nearest to his heart when he views the Allison picture. ¥or nothing that a corp of scenic artists, techrical men and denizens of The Village, working together could ac- been left undong. i | May .

Philip Rosen, one of the most recent additions to the com- pany’s directing staff, directed the production. The picturization was prepared by A. P. Younger, of Met- ro’s scenario department. ROMANCE AND LOVE IN SHADOW OF THE ARCTIC “The Valley of Doubt,” a Selznick | picture directed by Burton George, | cshowing at' the Elko theater, last times tonight, is a highly pleasing picture as regards both story and cast. The story is clear-cut, con- sistent and forceful; the cast excep- tionally well chosen. The action| takes place almost entirely out-of- doors, in the lumber camp district of Canada, and the scenes are unriv- alled by any picture takén in the snOwS. The plot development {s depend- ent on the efforts of two men to win a- girl. One is prevented by his manhood from stooping to underhand methods, ‘but the other knows only | the primitive laws of his instinct,! and the strongest of these is the| desire for possession of the woman. “The Valley of Doubt” is the story | of a fight to the finish, with excit-, ing incidents and rapid action. | ‘The cast includes Arline Pretty, | Thurston Hall, Anna Lehr, William Davidson and others of prominence. | MIRTH PROVOKING SITUATIONS IN “AN AMATEUR DEVIL”, A thoroughly enmjoyable picture, filled as it is with mirth-provoking | situations, is Bryant Washburn's| latest Paramount picture, “An Ama- | teur Devil” which will e shown at the Elko theater tomorrow, also on| Friday.
