“THE 'SILENT BARRIER” TOMORROW AT THE ELKO “The Silent Barrier,” a full-of- action_drama with a remarkable love story woven into a maze of thrilling adventure, was enacted by a power- ful aggregation of stage and screen favorites, the truly all-star cast in- cluding Sheldon Lewis, Gladys Hu- lette, Fuller Mellish, Florence Dixon, Donald Cameron, Corinne Barker, Mathilde Brundege. Jack Raymond, | Joseph Burke and Adolph Milar. A drama of the Swiss Alps, “The Silent Barrier,” first of Louis Tracy’s widely-read novels produced for the screen by Gibraltar Pictures, was en- acted for the most part at Lake Pla- cid, N. Y., the St. Moritz of America. Director Worthington had as his chief aid and arf director, Ernest Des Balllets, the noted Swiss illustra- tor, specially engaged by Charles C. Burr, treasurer of Louis Tracy Pro- dvctinns, Ine., because of his wide reputation as an expert in all tha: pe. Lains to scenery, costuming, archi- tecture and outdoor customs of Switz- eriand. Some of the snow scenes in “The Silent Barrier,” a W. W. Hod- kinson release cyming to the Elko theater, beginning Sunday, are of a most unusual character and all of them have a direct bearing on the gripping plot in the Tracy story, which includes plunges over precipi- ces, mountain sledge races, skiing competition and other difficult moun- taineering feats. MRBS. LUKE DEMPSEY TO APPEAR TUESDAY Contrary to what seems to be the understanding about the rity, “Dia. monds Adrift,” the picture in which Mrs. Luke, Dempsey, former resident of this city is to appear, will be shown Tuesday and Wednesday at the Elko theater, and not on Monday. BEBE DANIELS SHOWS IN DASHING NEW COMEDY Here she is again! The good-lit- tle-bad girl, or more properly speak- ing, Bebe Daniels, the Realart star who scored such a success in “You Never Can ‘rell” and *“Oh Lady Lady,” has completed a third star- ring picture, “She Couldn’t Help It,” which is coming to the Grand theater Monday and Tuesday. It is a treat which.no picture lover should miss. Those who know the play and the story “In .the Bishop’s Carriage,” from which this photoplay was adapt- ed, fee] that this is the best oppor- tunity the star has yet had to dis- play the great possibilities of the type she has made so essentially her own., ’ “THE ROAD DEMON” AT REX SUNDAY AND MONDAY/ Tom Mix in the saddle, at the wheel of a racing car, doing stunts with the aid of his. horse Tony and leéaping a river in his car—in addi- tion to winning the hand of a pretty girl—will be the attracton at the Rex theater Sunday in his latest William Fox western picture, “The Road De- on.” ; “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 (mot Tony, of course). for a broken-down aiuto on the desert, and finding the steering gear broken, he uses his lar- iat to guide the pesky thing. He finally gets it going. He rides back to the ranch. He can’t stop the car. 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. French, = George Hernandez, Lloyd Bocon, Sid Jordan, Charles Arling, Harold Goodwin, Billy Elmer and Frank Tokawaja. Lynn F. Reynoldss wrote and directed the story. MIX’S HORSE HAS A RIVAL Tom Mix, Fox star, is as much.at home in a racing car as in the sad- dle. He proves this in ‘“The Road Demon,” now at the Rex theater. But his farhous horse Tony also is in the pleture. “THE BIG PUNCH” AT THE REX THEATER TODAY ONLY Following his great success in a most sympathetic and forceful por- trayal of a man’s.struggle against those who have wronged him—a struggle in which he is inspired by the girl he loves and by his noble old mother, who never:loses their faith in him. S Jack Ford divected the micture. The star’s leading{woman is Barbara Bedford.

The action centres about a brutal old sea-dog who has been called “Black Pawl.” He rules his ship Deborah with fear, the most mutinous character aboard being his own son Red Pawl. He had taken his boy at tender age on a voy- | age only to return and find the moth- er with his little daughter had elop- ed with another man. - From that | moment he denied the existence of God and taught his son the gospel of hate. /i On the island a missionary, Samuel Poor, had attended a dying woman | who pleaded with him to get her idaughter back to civilization on the | first boat. Red Pawl looked lustfully upon the girl and conspired with a seaman, Spiess, to kill his father that {he, Red Pawl, might be master of the | ship and of the girl. | From this point on the story |seeths with adventure and the prim- tive emotions of men, guided only y the law of might, ending with a terrific climax that never will be for- gotten. Russell Simpson and James | Mason ~ play the two charcters, {“Biack” and “Red” Pawkh ; |OLIVE THOMAS HERE IN “EVERYBODY’'S SWEETHEART” Olive Thomas has appeared in a great variety of roles during her screen. career but it is doubirul ir any of her preceding characteriza- tions excel or oven equal her present |portrayal of Mary, the little “no- body” in ‘“Everybody’s Sweetheart,”’ which is now appearing at the Elko |theater for the last time tonight. | In epite of Mary's position, or lack | of it she is a constant. and living emblem of optimism. No matter what happens, Mary keeps her chin |up and smiles and when in the final I part of the picture the dreams of this modern “Cinderella” come true, ev- jery person in the audience smiles both with and at Mary. ’ “Bverybody’s Sweetheart” is mnot simply a story of saccharine simpers | and smiles but a well balanced dra- matic tale of how the spirit of youth | and inherent cheerfulness conquers all obstacles in reaching its. goal. Director Laurence Trimble has surrounded the star-with a cast of 'unusual calibre with Willie Collfer, Jr. ,eon of the famous comedian, as leading man. John Lynch is both author and scenarist: of the story. —————————— PROPCSALS FOR CITY PRINTING AND ADVERTISING. .
