Even with the high standard set by producers in these modern times, it has all the ingre- dients that make for success in a pic- ture:—story, direction, cast, photog- raphy, detail, all the thousand and one things that make or mar.the per-| fect whole. It combines tense drama | with clean comedy, pathos with hum-| or. It was directed by Jack Conway. “DANGEROUS BUSINESS” AT REX THEATER SUNDAY John Barrymore is Constance Tal- madge's ideal man in - “Dangerous Business.”” until an Italian tenor sings at her—then a new cinema ro- mance enters into her life. Connie will be seen in this new First Na-! tional vehicle at the Rex theater next Sunday. It is declared to be the most delightful picture in which Miss Tal- madge has appeared this season. “TIGER TRUE” ALIVE WITH ROMANCE AND ADVENTURE An unusually interesting story of the underworld is found in ‘“Tiger True,” in which vigorous melodra- matic moments, romance and mys- tery are combined. It differs from the usual rough-and-tumble film yarn of life below tne surface, for the reason that it gets into real character types, with the human touch frequently in evidence. It is completely built and has a fine grasp of the subject matter both in scenes and subtitles. Frank Mayo has a strong role in the part of Jack Lodge, a Mch man's son who hunts tigers in the. jungles of Africa and goes into the upder- world for sheer: love of adventure and excitement. He challenges “The Baboon,” leader of 'the crooks in a| district known as ““The Tangle,” and| humiliates the desperado in his own stronghold. Mayo gives a good ac- count of himself in two hand-to- hand conflicts and also brings out some real dramatic effects in certain situations. Walter Long is powerful in the role of the “Baboon,” and Fritzi Brunette plays the heroine ac- ceptably. ‘The subject as a whole is stronger than the usual run of underworld stories. It has a better story interest than most and gets well away from hackneyed situations. “Tiger True” and “Trouble Bub- bles”, two-part comedy will be shown tonight and Tuesday at the Grand. “THE STRUGGLE” AT REX TODAY AND TOMORROW The dearth of range riders has been severely felt in the realms of movie makers and when Colonel Wil- ‘liam N. Belig produced the photoplay ““The Struggle’ 'in which Franklyn Farnum is to appear at the Rex the- ater today, he found that his great- est difficulty would be the securing of ‘enough Thorsemen who could ride according to the old-traditions of the plains, 4 Y This picture will be shown ‘at the ?fix for a limited engagement of two ays. COWBOY BUCK JONES AT i REX THEATER SATURDAY Buck Jones, rapidly receiving recognition as one of the most bril- liant ' Western stars on the screen, will be seen at the Rex theater next Saturday in his latest Willlam Fox Western, “Two Moons,” from Robert , Welles Ritchte’s novel “Trails to Two Moons.” The picture is said to tell a breath- taking story of a love that grew out of a bitter feud when the cattle men and sheep herders were fighting for control of the grazing lands of Wy- oming. Jones has the part of a cat- tleman’s agent who tames the wild spirit of Hilma Ring, daughter of a sheepman, and turns her hatred into love. Carol Halloway is seen-as Hil- ma Ring. Edward J.

The aver- age person chases madly after a mecs of pottage and lives to repent his foolishness. In “The Vice ot Fools.” at the Elko tonight, also Wednesday matince and evening, Alice Joyce is seen as a young woman who allows folly to get the better of her wisdom and the result is a series of complica- tions that have unusual dramatic value. There are many light spots and much subtle humor in the action which ‘tends to emphasize the emo- tional scenes and gives Miss Joyce a scope seldom witnessed in stories of this nature. The chief virtue of! ““The Vice of Fools” is its delineation | of life as it exists. The story of Ma- rion and Cameron is that of hun- dreds of other headstrong young per- sons who allow infatuation to get those around them into a network of circumstances from which it becomes difficult to become extracted. It is different from the average film and the ending cannot be anticipated at the start. One is constantly specu- lating as to how it all will end. The climax comes as a surprise and is not what one expects. Joe Martin, famous monkey com- edian, in “A Wild Night” is another feature at the Elko tonight and to- MmOorrow.

Washingto! lace in the city of Washington presents such an ut- terly changed appearance, since the $th of March, us the west wing of the executive mans.on of these United States. The.White House offices, have been changed in the proverbial twink- ling of an eye fron what might be called the solemn quietness into an | | almost crushingly bustling activity. 1t must not be understood that no business has been transacted in the offices of the, White House during the period of President Wilson's illness. Regular routine business has gone .anj as usual, anG the telephone oper-, ators have been unusually active, but the Visitors to the White House have been: few and far between, and- those who have gone there haye gane simply because they had affairs which re- quiréd ‘the immediate atlention of the % t the dent, the better of common sense and draw |- %) a1, to thé pees (s On March 5, 1913, the day after the advent of Woodrow Wilson, the White House ‘offices: were so crammed with visitors that wmoving from place to place was ‘alihost Impossible. Things changed quickly. I'res Wilson saw fewer visitors than any pr who has becn in the White House with- in the memory of men. This does not mean that be did not take an interest in the affairs which the visitors wished to bring to his attention. He did a gregt deal by correspondence and much more than most presidents throug \ his cabinet officers to whom every-’ body who had any business connected with the departments of gevernment was referred. Throngs to Greet Harding. = On” March 5 of this year, cvernhlmi changed and the man who could g through the throng in the offices on that day 'did so at the expense of torn clothing. There were handshukes in hundreds and office seekers in other bundreds. No president ever at the beginning of his term turned a cold shoulder to the throng that wanted to gee him. He gives himself over to the greeting of individuals and does it witl 2 siiling face. At the end of the day he nurses a sore hand and it is probable he suffers from an ag-| grieved heart to think that simply be-' cause he is president of the United States he should be “thus thrust upon.” It used to be said that President Harrison would see only those whom he must see, but at this he saw many visitors daily. Of President ‘\lcmnley; it was said that he would sce every. body, and g0 he did during the first mionths of his occupancy of the White House, but cven the genial McKinley finally had to call a halt. The World by Color. If we speak by continents, the really white world consists of Europe, North America to the Rio Grande, the southern portion of South America, the Siberian part of Asin, aud Aus- tralasin, the last two, of course, being very thinly inhabited. On the other hand, the world of color consists of the bulk of Asia, virtually the whole of . Africa, and most of Central and South America. The great hulk of the white race is, of course, concen- trated in the Kuropean continent, Four-fifths of the entire white race lives on than one-fifth * of the white world's area. Of the colored races the yellow are naturally the most numerous, living in eastern Asia, nnd numbering over 500,000,000. The browns number more than 450,000,000 while the - blacks, whose ‘eenter is Africa, south of the Sahara desert, total about 150,000,000. The reds are, of course, of less consequence, belng few in number. Whence “Pig Iron.” Pig Iron is a phrose which has noth: fng to do with swine. When Iron 15 nelted it runs off into a chaunnel calle¢ 2 sow and tae lateral branches are called pigs; therefore when the iron cools it is called pig iron.

The little westerner discovers the family isn't quite as careful of its morals. Her husband’s young step-mother, who has scorned .her_as “the misfit,” has been carrying on an affair with a an-about-town. The young wife, in An Art Contest, “You do not quote as much poetry in your speeches as you used to.” “No,” said Senator Sorghum. “The last time I quoted poetry the rival orator got up and}sang a song. My managers insisted it was up to me to come back with a classic dancy, 8o I gave up the competition and am now relylng on the simple statesmaulike dignity of plain_press.” i — Roosevelt was different. e saw everybody, but also he knew how to get rid of, visitors after seeing them, and to get rid of them quickly and leave them perfectly satisfied with thelr reception. It was a gift which the strenuous president had and which other presidents to come probably will wish that they had. During the Roose- velt days the visitors went iuto the White House in a stream, which flowed out just as rapidly as it flowed in. ' Taft Had to Call .a Halt. President’, "aft * ado) the open- door policy and le lhad visitors in thousands, but before very long he, like McKinMy, was compelled to call a halt, and he saw only those men anl women whom he knew that he must sce becausc of the nature of their business. Of course Mr, Taft, like other presidents, had his daily hour for visitors, who merely wanted to shake hands with a president and to go Lome saying that they had done s0. This half hour usually began ut what the society people call high noon, | ang while the reception was a perfunc- tory one, more or less, you always can trust a president of the United States to put on a glad look when he is meet- ing the dearly beloved citizens. A great many of the members of | the house of representatives, who have been re-elected, will remain in this city until the extra session Is called. The Republicans among them were at the White House on March 5, along with the senators, and a goodly num- ber of them will seek the presidential presence every day until they have cleaned up the slates of promises which they have made to their fol- lowers, ‘Every office secker, or nearly | every one, has a congressional spokes- man. Luckily the White House offices are bigger than they used to be. Mr. Taft had the whole arrangement changed, ! and while the office wing was built at the close of ‘the McKinley admin- istratipn, it is now much larger than it was originally. The president has an office certainly three times as large as thé one which Roosevelt occupied. The cabinet room has been Increased in size and now the secretary to the president has a large room to him- self. wherens in the old days, he was compelled to share small quarters wi the executive clerk and one or & Wb-secretaries. .

One og the most beautifuf processes In nature is the fall of the leaf. This is not, as is commonly supposed, brought about by the inclement weath- er of the autumn, says a well-known authority. For the underlying cause one must look deeper. Soon after the leaf appeared in the spring preparations were being made for its fall. Across the base of the stalk there grew inward a partition of special cells, known to bostanists as the “layer of separation.” As the season advances these cells become modified and weakened so that a springy cushion {s formed. Eventual- ly the mere weight of the leaf way be sufficient to bring about the sever- ance of the organ which the tree no longer requires. Before the leaf actuaily falls it surrenders all that it possesses in the way of sugarand more complex stuffs, This passes back into the tree to be stored away in the stems. The Two Frogs.

Maybe it will revive your faith and fortitude a teeny-weeny bit if you recall the story of the two frogs that fell Into the can of milk. Try as they would, you may remember, the frogs could uot leap out of the can, but fell back into the milk each time they jumped. Finally, one frog whined: “What's the use of uying, we can never get out.” So he curled up and was drowned. But the other frog, possessed of more determi- nation and perseverence, * kept on struggling and struggling until lo! the milk began to be churned into butter, and then it was easy for him to get out of the difficulty.
