The building that was burned in the fire scene at Long lsland City, was part of @ row of brick tenement houses specially constructed by Met- ro to represent a London street scene in “A Message From Mars.” The pet was the length of a city block and reproduced a section of the Lon- don slums—a narrow dirty street in the Wihitechapel district. Here was shown the sweepings of London street )Mfe crowded in miserable squalor within the filthy walls of tenement houses. In addition to Bert Lytell, the star, the cast includes Raye Dean, Al- phonz Ethier, Maude Milton, Leon- ard Mudie and Gordon Ash. The picture was adapted by Arthur Zell- ner and Arthur Maude from Richard Ganthoyen’s well known stage play in which Sir Charles Hawtrey star- red. M. P. Staulcup designed the m-’ terlor and exterior sets, and Andre| Barlatier photographed the produc- tion. “THE TESTING BLOCK AT THE ELKO SUNDAY AND MONDAY The secret of “Sierra” Bill's iden- tity and disappearance after he had kidnaped Nelly Gray, a members of the Ellis Traveling players, near Pan Creek, in the Sierras many years ago, was revealed recently when it was announced that the once feared out- law has reformed and is living hap-| pily with his wife, son and famous Pinto pony near Placer. ; It develops that Sierra Bill is none other than William S.

In attempting to escape, Buck Stanton mounts his horse on top of an airplane, which takes the horse and rider up 500 feet in the air. The sher- iff and his posse, in pursuit, shoot and wound the horse, who loses his balance and he and the rider plunge down 200 feet. A half dozen cam- eras were used stationed at various places to catch the scene, and some wonderful and start- ling effects were obtained. \ BILL WEST ., In a New Comedy Rex Union Four-piece Orchestra Matinee: 2:30—7:10-9:00 Pick These Up for Monday > Lippencott’s Preserves Lippencott’s Jell Swift’s Soap, 20 bars Creme Oil Soap, per bar \10 1bs.of Rice for Tapioca, 2 lbs for .
