The marriage was not divuliged un- i1, nearly a year had elapsed, but now comfortably settled in a beauti- ful California home in Los Angeles the happy couple are continuing their picture work. Mr. Ruggles has just completed two big produoctions for Metro starring Alice Lake.

E. Herbert, who plays the part of the ungallant lover and loyal hus- band, *“‘there are husbands and hus- bands and some bachelors never even kissed @ pretty girl before marriage. It ds the innocent ones,” says Mr. Herbert, “who are sure to be fa)sely accused.” = “A MESSAGE FROM MARS” REX, LAST TIMES TODAY To pralse Bert Lytell seems un- necessary—it has been done so often and so well. ~All that is needed is to say that he is starring in “A Mes- sage From Mars,” which opened yes- terday at the Rex theater as the feature attraction and which will be shown for the last times today. TRhere is hardly a screen admirer who has not seen Bert Lytell before. But 1f there be one who has not seen Ihim, this opportunity should not be missed. “A Message ' From Mars” was adapted from the successful stage @lay by Richard Ganthoney. On.the screen it gains an added lustre and beauty, for here the possibilities for showing the action over a large spacc are increased. 3 The story deals with the regenera- tion from selfishness of a wedlt young Englishman, who takes. ev thing for granted, and puts every- thing in its subservient place, his financee included. She leaves .him finally, and everything is tottering mround him when a sudden conver- sion of soul at the sight of suffering humanity brings him to the right goal. This is due to a messenger from Mars condemned to haunt the most selfish man on earth. The effective supporting cast in- This nude youngster has ccmpleted the raphy, and M. P.

They will be able ‘to judge the merits of both sides of the spiritualist question—a question jthat has stirred more personal in- terest in this generation than any Whether one holds with the directed Louise |peliet of Sir Oliver Lodge, the inter- best |ertson-Cole presents - Miss maticnally known sponsor of mental telephathy and thought communica- tion, or whether one is convinced {that the entire affair is empty specu- lation without foundation or fact, !there is no doubt that ‘“The Invisible :Ray,” which comes to the Rex thea- ter on Thursday will leave a lasting impression on both sides. As every follower of current events knows, Sir Oliver Lodge has come out in strong condemnaticn of the |theorjes set forth in such thrilling ‘and dramatic fashion in *“The Invis- dble Ray” serial. Many of us who have -experienced intercommunications | with the departed, or have received wigns and messages from- distant be- ings, will be thrilled and startled at ithe revelations ma:l2 in this gripping |serial. Wihile Sir Oliver Lodge.could prove othing by word or ‘book—iis hear- ’els and readers belng obliged to take his word for what he claimed—there is no such disadvantage in “The In- visible Ray.” By means of the screen £0 many unusual devices have been used to make the spiritualisticele- ment real, that the spectator is left breathless with astonishment at the‘ weird spectacles that swe before | him.

The story is a screen adaptation ‘of Sir Arthur Wing Pi- nero's famous drame “Iris” which was prcduced in England and the United. States. Miss Frederick has every opportun- ity in “A Slave of Vanity” to dis- play her wonderful ability as an emo- ‘tional actress, The story-lends itself to her versatility as it would to no otheractress appearing on'the screen. A widow of social position and wealth whose late husband’s will demands she remain single or sacrifice both money and position. It is a big problem for Iris, because a young man who has plenty of talent but no money, has come into her life and she loves him. Also, she is/loved by the richest banker in London but does not return ‘his affection. In a series of pleasant surprises -Iris is able to solve the riddle herself, but this is the ‘trick of the picture. In the cast with Miss Frederick are Nigel Barrie, Willard ‘Louis, Maunde Louis, Daisy Robinson, Arthur Hoyt, Ruth Handforth and Howard (ays. » [ forms that flit past the gloomy cells and vanish into space, the blinding flashes of rays of intense light, the puzaling feats of magic and science ithat are performed with - wizard swiftness—all combine to hold the mind in spellbound fascination. “DARLING 'NELLIE GRAY” $ 1S “THE TESTING BLOCK"” It was a song of yesterday—‘Dar- ling Nelly Gray”—well known to.the past generation, which regenerated “Sierra” Bill, a notorious bandit of California in the gold days, the char- acter portrayed by William S.

Every scene of the pic- .ture has a thrill of its own. “Sierra” ‘Bill fights “seven men of his band to save Nelly from their embraces, then, maddened by liquor, he forces her to marry him. Thus he finds “his testing block” and becomes a’real man. Miss Novak heads a great supporting cast. “The Testing Block” is said to be the best picture thus far made by Mr. Hart, who also is. the cludes Raye Dean, Maude Milton, author. 3 TO ROYAL PRINCESS George Walsh goes. to Europe for his excitement in *“Sink or Swim,” the William.
