B | | ¢ ... ture, RS oy ' THE BEMIDJI DA ILY PIONEER NEWS OLIVE THOMAS SHOWS AT ELKO THEATER TOMORROW l Beautiful Olive Thomas adds ‘an- other characterization to her screen repertoire in her latest Selznick Pic- “Everybody's Sweetheart” which'.comes to the Elko theater for Friday and Saturday. Miss Thomas appears as Mary, last name unknown, a girl who has been an inmate of the County Poor Farm ever since she was brought there aft- er the terrible railroad wreck some years ago. It is a story both new OF THE THEATRES iRiver's.End,” and ‘“Don’t Ever Mar~ | i Ired and novel—one that affords the star} full gplay for her splendid talents, concluding with a climax that is both unexpected and pleasing. Laurence Trimble directed the pic- ture which was made from the or- iginal story by John Lynch. “THE WHISPER MARKET” SHOWN LAST TIME TONIGHT Swift-moving incident, against a background of beautiful South Am- erican scenes, features “The Whisper Market,” the Vitagraph screen pro- duction, with Corinne Griffith in the stellar role, which will be shown at the Elko for the last time tonight. Every effort was made to have the accessories of the picture in keep- ing with ,the locality in which the story is placed. Magnificent Span- ish costumes, actual native types, re- productions of South American build- ing, were all procured at considerable trouble and cost, to insure the prop- er atmosphere for the picture. Atmosphere is one of the most dif- ficult, and at the same time one of the most essential elements in a pho- toplay. It has been successfully cap- tured in ‘“The Whisper Market.” The languid, Tgolent existence of the na- tives, encouraged by nature’s bounty, forms a striking contrast to the mem- bers of the American colony and the adventures which center about them. The scenes are all laid in Rio de Ja- neiro. Music. Dancing, Iinpersonations, On Week’s Vaudeville Program Osteco, the comic serenading viol- inist; a very clever impersonator; a singing, dancing and comedy team:; and three Irish girls in songs, make- up and attractive vaudeville program which wiil be offered at the Grand theater Friday of this week only, both in the afternoon and evening. J. W. Zellner, character protrayal- ist, assisted by Elaine Halloway, preserits an artistic protean oddity, called "“The Mystic Crystal”. Seeing this g2t is a rare treat not easily forgotten. Figures of famous men grow under the eyes of the audience as Zellner manipulates wige and make-up with ,a skill and deftness that seem alnfost magical. Smith and McGary have.a big time act in comedy, talking, singing and dancing, and the Three Killarney Girls are a trio of good looking young ladies, with fine valces. which they know how to use, and pretty cos- tumes that they know how to wear. ‘“‘Beautifully Trimmed” with Car- mel Meyers will be the photoplay which will precede the vaudeville at iback to town last night at the Grand all shows Friday only. BUCK JONES IN “THE BIG PUNCH” AT REX SATURDAY Following his great success in “Just Pals,” in which he received universal praise throughout the country, Buck Jones once more steps out of his character as cowboy to en- act a role of a more serious nature, in his latest William Fox production, entitled “The Big Punch” at the Rex theater Saturday. “The Big Punch’ 's an original | story by Jules G. Furthman, and is} described as an futensely appealing | life. The story | about the tale of the Western Lills. revolves around a yjung man whe is arrested for sheep rustling in which |8 he had no part, is convicted and sent to prison for a term of five years. Following his release from prison, His | 8! efforts to “make good” furnish many |1 staye: thrilling incidents. In the leading role, it is said, Buck Jones displays greater emotional abil- ity than he has ever show fore on the screen. Jack Ford who directed Pals,” directed also “The Big Punch.” TOM MIX IN “THE ROAD DEMON” AT REX SUNDAY Tom Mix in the saddle, at the wheel of a racing car, doing stunts with the aid of his horse Tony and leaping a river in his car—in addi- tion to winning the hand of a pretty. girl—will be the attracton at the Rex! theater next Sunday in his latest William Fox western picture, “The Road Demon.” This. thrilling, speedy comedy of western life is declared to be the best Mix has made—which Is saying something for the clever Fox star. He! ‘begins by swapping his horse (not Tony, of course) for a broken-down auto “on the desert, and finding the steering gear broken, he uses his lar- “fat to guide the pesky thing. He finally gets it going. He rides back to the ranch. He rides through a fence and then a barn, and at length he yells to his cowboy friends to shoot a hole in the gas tank to make it halt. The pace set in the opening scenes is maintained throughout the pic- ture. He wins a road race with the car. But the finish comes after thril- ling stunts. He does some rescue work that is hair-raising—and he wins the hand of pretty Claire Ander- son, his leading woman. Others in the cast are Charles K.

It is an adapta- tion of a novel, “Calderon’s prisoner,” by ‘Alice Duer Miller, whose ‘‘Come Out of the Kitéen” and “Charm School” have been both stage and screen .hits, the latter still running on Broadway. It is the story of a New York heiress and society favorite whose very popularity bores her. In her search fo ra mew experience, a fresh thrill, “‘something different,” in short, she goes to visit a former school friend in South America. She finds what she went after, and a lit- tle more besides, for she is soon in the very exciting middle of a heal- thy revolution, and for lending aid to the insurgents is imprsoned by the authorties. Falling in love with the general, who is her captor, adds zest to the plot, and Miss Binney makes a very agreeable little rebel, both in love and in war. . Gorgeous Spanish interiors and very beautiful exter- iors, filmed in Cuba, lend interest to a genuinely satisfying picture, which R. William Neill directed for Real- art, “GODLESS MEN” AT GRAND | ..

The voracity of tke toad in devour- ing earthworms, beetles, earwigs, and other creeping things, is well known, but it is an extremely rare occurrence for the animal to take a living mouse. Still, a circumsantial account is given of a toad at Portsmouth, England, that followed a mouse, not quite full grown, and suddenly drew it into its mouth. The mouse showed the dazed and fasclnated signs that it exhibits in the presence of smakes and larger lizards. Dr. J. A. Boulenger has stat- ed that he offered a tame toad very small mice, and they were eaten with avidity, and he believed that a toad will take any sort of live prey that it is able to swallow. | Said About Women. “Man s the dry land, and woman, she is the sca. For whosoever dig- geth in the earth, he findeth out the substance of it. But he. that diggeth in the water Is for ever fighting its contrariness.”—From “The Rook of Artemas.” “If you describe a right woman In a laudable sense, she should have gentle softness, tender fear, and all those parts of life which distin- guish her from . the other sex.’—Sir Richard Steele. “Last among the characteristics of woman is that sweet motherly love, with which nature has gifted her; it i§ almost independent of cold reason and.wholly removed from all hana of roward *—FHarder.
