AT THEATRES “THE IRON RIDER” AT i REX THEATER SATURDAY | The story of, relentless justice pres- | sed by a fathek against his son, who, | tHe father believes, has violated the| solemn oath of the secret Iron Rider clan founded by the father, is the basis on which has been built one of | the most dramatic photoplays yet seen on the screen. This is *“The Iron Rider,’ 'a ‘William Fox produc-! Iron Rider,” a .:Willlam Russell, tion starring William Russell which comés to “the Rex theater Saturday. < 'Vola Vale, whose good looks and cap- able acting have been long recognized ‘in the motion picture world is seen as the Iron Rider’s sweetheart. The .—-noted Frank L. Packard wrote the MOrY, oo “WOMAN IN HIS HOUSE” AT REX THEATER SUNDAY ‘What is declared to be the screen event of the year is Louis B. Mayer’s First national production, “The Woman in His House,” which will open an (ngagement of two days at the Rex theater on Sunday. The production consumed nearly six months in the making, and it is declared to be as nearly a perfect masterpiece of the silent drama as time, money, acting and good direc- tion could produce. In planning this picture Louis B. Mayer exercising the minutest pre- cautions. The story is by Irene Reels, and the script was prepared in great detail by Director John Stahl, who was ordered to spend as much time and money as he thought necessary | to produce the year's best picture. “BUNTY PULLS THE STRINGS” i AT GRAND SAT. AND SUN. “Bumty (Pulls the Strings,” all- star cast (Goldwyn)—If there were more photoplays of this kind the mo- tion picture industry would have lit- tle reason to fear for the future or to conduct propaganda against ‘‘sour 'Sunday” boosters. If “Bunty” is an experiment to see how spectators like a picture devoid of bathing beauties, sex problems, passion, murder, the gay life, etc., etc., it is a huge suc- cess. This picture is a sample story of simple Scottish folk so well de- veloped and so full of charm and humor that the onlookers’ absorbed attention does not stray for a mo- ment. The photography is beautiful and the details of the Scottish village make a delighttul background. The entire cast is good in their respective roles, especially Leatrice Joy as “Bunty,” and Raymond Hatton as| her lover. The cast includes such names as Cullen Landis, who appear- | ed in “The Girl From Outside”; Cas-| son Ferguson, who was seén as the young attorney in “Madam X" and Russel Simpson. “Bunty Pulls the| Strings,” and the brand new Mack Sennett comedy, “Fickle Fancy,"” will be the program at the Gramd the-| ater Saturday and Sunday. | i VAUDEVILLE AND PICTURES AT GRAND TONIGHT ONLY Robert Gordon and Sylvia Gordon in “Blood Barriers” in 6-part melo- dramas from the pen of Cyrus Town- send Brady, opens the program at the Grand theater tonight and will be immediately followed by the regular four acts of vaudeville. A blackface comedian, a Swede comedian, a lightning change girl artist, and a pair of Scotish dancers and singers, who have been around the world, are the varied kinds ot entertainers on the bill. “The Two Scotch Macks" present the Scotch numbers; Billy Earl, call- ed the entertaining girl, will keep you guessing, in a carnival episode, in which interpolates several song numbers. Teets and Wheatin _ in “‘Making a Pair of Shoes,” offer some snappy harmony, singing and Swede | comedy, and Michaelson and Lee pre- | sent a comedy novelty that is dif-| ferent. Only children who are ac-| companied by parents, will be ad- mitted at the evening shows which begin at 7:30 and at 9:15. “DUCKS AND DRAKES” AT ELKO LAST TIMES TONIGHT Bebe Daniels plays the part of] Teddy Simpson in *“Ducks and Drakes” showing dast times at the Elko tonight. Teddy Simpson was young and ir- responsible. Her ‘guardian had got her engaged to a dependable young business man, hoping the girl would settle down. But Teddy wasn't the settling kind of a girl. She just knew she never could endure the monotony of marriage. So whenever Rob ask- ed her to name the wedding day she | put him off and made the most of what freedom remained to her by flirting outrageously. But Rob knew all about her flirtations—because she was flirting with some of his friends. Instead of challenging them | to duels he enlisted their aid in a| plot. to cure her of flirting. Then ‘they gave her so much hair-raising, blood-curdling excitement all pncked‘\ into one wild day that she was glad | to settle down like a good little bride with steady old Rob. You never saw dgshing Bebe Danfels in a more un- roarious comedy. | RAY'S PET HOBBY | Charles Ray seems to have a ma-| mnia for freak machinery.

Novelists that speak of a face “lighting up” put down an actual truth thae few of them are aware of or i~ tend. One of the most delicate in- struments In the world, a radiometer, records the “shine” of a human face, and can do It at a distance of several miles. So delicate is the jnstrument that it can detect and record the glim- mer of a candle half a mile away, and it there were no atmospheric obstruc- tion it could detect the same candle 16 miles away. The Instrument consists of two thin glass disks, one polished and one blackened, suspended by a quartz thread in a vacuum. Waves of radiant energy striking this instru- ment disturb its balance, because the bright disk reflects them, while the black one absorbs them. While the human face to the nor- mal eye gives out no waves of radiant cnergy, the fact remains that™a con- stant flow of energy is being thrown off, and these waves travel an un- known distance. Although the radio- | meter is a wonderful and delicate in- strument, there is a thermal couple ten times as sensitive us the radiome- ter and it can detect the heat of a candle 60 miles distant. .

All eyes soon focussed on her instead of on the busy little teacher, .The ! word “trio” was belng explained to | the children and volunteers were | asked to stand and use the word jn n sentence. And no one need expect to | go home until the word was fully ex- plained. | Little R.
