TONIGHT An evening of skilfully blended en- tertainment awaits playgoers at the Grand theater where ‘‘Hearts Up!” s showing for the last time tonight. ‘The story of “Hearts Up!” stars Harry Carey in his most. appealing screen characterization. He holds the foreground as’'a ‘man’ who poses as the father of a lovely girl to keep from her the knowledge thdt her fa- ther is dead. How he innocently begins the deception and finds him- self in serious trouble as a result, brings the story to its thrilling cli- max where the plot turns drasti- cally and in a most unexpected man- ner, Harry Carey wrote the story as a personal starring vehicle and select- ed an admirable cast to play the prin- cipal roles. “Happy Daze’ 'is the title of the two part comedy which completes the program. —_— HAROLD LLOYD FINDS ‘ LAUGHTER IN LIFE . Those shell-rimmed, but glassless, spectacles that Harold 'Lloyd wears in all his comedies, are not just a happy thought. They are the result ;)l a study of the psrchology of laugh- er. Laughter and life are two of the In its is life. The And in the weaknesses of humpan nature is to +bé’found the most humor, In life it is a laughing matter to see”a dignified ‘person lose his dig- nity, such’' as a minister stepping on puneat’ torm, | laughter ~.& banana peel. It is a laughable mat- ter to see an efficient person make a ‘mistake—for instance, a deft waiter 48pill the soup. Becaude at one time shelled-rim- med glasses were always synonymous with learned people, such as profes- sors or scientists, they alquired a dignity that even their present popu- larity cannot entirely dispel. ‘Worn by Harold Lloyd as his only make-up, they make of him a serious- minded youth, and accordingly mag- nity the humor to be found in any situation that impairs his dignity. In “Number,.

The picture is presented by Joseph M. Schenck and released through Metro Pictures Corporation. It is two reels in lengh, and every foot of the two reels is packed with comedy situations and ‘“‘gags’” that would start cackles g an undertak- cr’s convention, Buster Kcaton’s heart and soul are in his néw productions. To show. how much in earnest he is about ve- ing funny, he himseif wrote and di- rected “One Week,” in association with Eddie Cline. ' They evolved a comedy idea that is absolutely new, £0 that the full particulars of the “plot” are mot avallable. It has leaked ont, however, that “One Weell” is something like ‘“‘Three Weeks”, with reverse English. It has to do with newlyweds who are very much in love, but there the re- resemlancé ‘to ‘the mavel of passion ends.. ‘For Buster and‘his bride (played by beautifal Sybil Sealey) encounter all their troubles when they start{ house-keeping a la carte. The house itself is delivered on a cart, hence the pun. The management of the Rex the- ater promises a great treat for all who come to see Buster Keaton in ““One Week."” “PARLOR BEDROOM AND BATH” AT THE REX THEATER TODAY Polly Hathaway is *“The Town Tattler’” on a soclety newspaper, a 'preny girl of a ‘thousand adven- tures and a record for exposing wild life in the smart set.

REAL MALE OUARTET It is unusual for a play to have four leading male roles of practical- ly equal importance. But such is the case with “Ducks and Drakes,” the sparkling Elmer Harris comedy, starring Bebe Daniels, which comes to the Elko next Thursday and Fri- day. To play the four roles Reajart chose no less well-known a quartet’ than Jack Holt, Wifiam E. Law- rence, Wade Boteler, and Edward Martindel, all* of whom have been leadin;; men in their own rights. BILLIE BURKE'S LATE COMEDY ELKO TONIGHT AND TOMORROW Perhaps one of the most popular séreen stars in the country is Billie Burke. She is a favorite with local fans who will be giad to learn that she will be seen in her latest Para- mount comedy, “The Education ‘of Elizabeth” 'at the Elko theater to- njght, also Wednesday, matinee and etening.

Aside from its interest and appeal jas a superb picture story, this pho- tocomedy enables Miss Burke to ap- beautiful gowns, master creations of master modistes. There are beautiful girls, handsome men and in every other respect thig production is one of the highest class. > A Paramount magazine and a shert comedy are also on the pro- gram at the Elko for tonight and to- morrow. AMERICAN NERVE SAVES - FIVE HUNDRED LIVES By Carl D. Groat, (United Press Staff Correspondent) Kattowitz, Upper _Silesia.—(By Mail)—How an American flag, an an American captain with good nerve, a trusty revolver and a bit of Ameri- can bluff séared off a Polish mob and rescued 500 exchanged German pris- oners, inbound -from Poland, leaked out here today. The American was Captain Stettler, | over six feet tall, born in Joplin, Mo., a globe-trotter, with no knowledge of what fear means. The incident occurred during the Pclish outbreak in Upper Silesia last year. Stettler, then associated with Colonel Goodyear of Buffalo, N. Y., on the American coal commission, ‘was helping Goodyear to clear up the uprising. He had been across the line into Poland, located ptisoners drag- ged off by the Poles, and also a large group of men, women and children long interned in the same camp. | Having had good relations with both the German and Polish sides, Stettler was able to induce the Polish commandant to surrender the prison- ers, as the basis for later negotiations {toward an' armistice. With difficulty | he obtained a train for the refugees, and had reached the border line where the hatred between Poles and | Germans was particularly bitter. . A mob collected as the train pulled in. Each car bore an American flag. The crowd grew vicious, threatening to massacre the whole group of ‘pris- oners. Here is where the captain, the Ameri_can flag, the nerve and the bluff come in. _Taling a Polish interpreter with hlm..aml carrying a little American flag in one hand and his revolver in the other, he proceeded to tell the ,Poluh leader something. “This train is under American pro-| tection,” he said, “and if you shoot upon it, you are shooting at America. That means not only that America will shut off all the = food supplies she’s been sending you here in Po- shoot the first man. who = makes a move.” The cold courage—and the trace of good American bluff—had its ef- fect. The crowd growled a bit, and seemed for a moment hesitant and then backed down. And Stettler still carrying his flag and revolver, stood on the vlatform as the train head?d into Germany, unmolested. Value of Home Experience. “The middle-aged mothersswho have successfully managed large homes and sent out their children as good citizens have proven that such tfaining"is in- valuable in any mnational or’ public work. Any work requiring: intiicate knowledge and care of detail can ‘be handled by such women just.as well as by the younger women who, we have been led to believe are the only leaders of the ‘new race’,” suys a writ- er in the Independent Woman. “The wmiddle-aged woman has countless 0p- portunities for world usefulness.” Of Interest to Women, A London zoologist tried to startle the world by announcing that he had discovered a way' to hynotize lobsters. Ha, ho, hum. Women have been do- ing this very thing ever since Eve first set eyes on Adam in the Garden of Eden. Baggy Knee Trousers Style.
