George Walth, playing the part of the young author; who surrounded by enemies, fights h!s way through to victory and the love of a girl, scor ed a great success. Handsome and debonalr, he was as convincing in the role of a sophisticated city man | as he has been in less polished role. The story runs the gamut of hu- manity, from New York’s Four Hun- d ed to New York's underworld. Be- cause of his love for a girl, Frank Theydon finds himself marked for as- sassination by a gang of . criminals whose aim. it is to restore the Emper- or to the throne of China. The con- spiracy has its root in’ Chinatown, New York. A wealthy woman is found in the apartment next to They- don. Who killed her? The detec- tives are baffled, but Theydon solves the mystery—and his discovery leads him into some desperate corners. George A. Beranger the -director, has done some exceptionally fine de- tail work, and the underworld scenes are striking dn their realism. There is not a wea kspot.in the cast. . The leading woman 1is Mildred Reardon. TOURNEUR'S “COUNTY FAIR” SENSATION OF THE SCREEN ‘With the great demand for rural studies upon the screen, Maurice Tourneur has breasted up with the call in. fine shape with his picture version of ‘‘The County Fair.” It is one of those heart fnterest stories of laughter and tears and prain simple people that never fails to register. For years Neil Burgess toured the ‘country in the original drama and the play and star became @ household affair. Tourneur has elaborated upon the story and made it a sure-fire hit upon the screen. Its fame has spread like wildfire and everywhere the people are clamoring to see it. In addition to the excitement, the humor and the charm of the appeal- ing tale, there is a cast which in- cludes several players now being starred in their own productions, such as Wesley Barry, the famous freckle-face boy of the screen; David Butier, the rugged young star of modern hits, and dainty Helen Jerome Eddy in one of her inimi- table girl types. Others of promi- nence are Edith Chapman, Willlam V. Mong, John Steppling and Charles Barton. There i¢ a great horse race rs the olim~x of the delighttul pigtures of @ county fair in full swing ac the high lights in this best of the Tour- neur productions, whicly comes to the Grand theater Saturday and Sun- day. FOUR ACTS OF VAUDEVILLE AT GRAND THEATER TONIGHT Tonight only at the Grand theater the regular four act vaudeville pro- gram preceeded by the five-part pho- toplay will be the attraction at the playhouse. Opening the bill, McGreevy and Jefteries, ‘“The Village Cut-Ups,” of- ter some lively entertainment con- sisting of several violin numbers, singing, talking and dancing. Dor- man and DeGlenn follow, present- ing “After the Masquerade,” a musi- cal comedy skit that is away from the %‘;Mwefél& Photo comedy, their is an act that is an ad- ‘dition on any program. Laura' March, the *Girl frcm Mel- ody Lane’” has a budget of eongs, and the ability to' put ~them over. Seymour and Dupree close the bill as ‘‘a\ clever couple in clever capers.” There is much ' individuality and class shown in this offering. Mr.| Seymor's clever capers,’ odd sayings| and musical ability is truly interest- ing, and! Miss Dupree is an attrac- tive young lady and an out of the ondinary dancer. Carmel Meyers i~ the - five-part play *‘The Gilded: Dream,” will praceed the vaudeville at hoth shows t;onixsght beginning at 7:30 and at “K CHILD FOR SALE” AT THE ! REX SUNDAY AND MONDAY ‘A Child For Sale,” a powerful drama, setting forth the evils of pro- fitgering ‘will be the attraction at the Rex theater Sunday and Monday. The | story ‘was written and produced by Tvan Abrahamson, whose earlier pro- duotions wiu ha remembered by all who saw. them. The story s laid in the Greenwich village section of New York city,| where Charles Stoddard, a struggling painter, strives to earn a livelihood for his wife and two children. His home 18 owned by Wiliam Harrison, a wealthy philanthropist, who while he gives with one hand grinds higher rents from his poor tenmants with the other. Stoddard's wife dies, and’ he is forced to eell his baby daughter to a wealthy widow, but the pain of the separation is too great and he ob- taing his Httle girl back. In the meantime Stoddard's little boy is picked up on the streets for begging and is takem to Harrison's for. him and a stormy scene ensues when Stoddard upbraids the hypo- critical philanthropist. When little Ruth contacts scarlet fever a kind-hearted doctor brings the little boy to the Harrison Home. There Mrs. Harrison questions him, learns that Stoddard is her son by a former marriage which she has kept secret froh her husband. The story comes te a thritling climax when Stoddard saves the life of his land- lord, and Mrs. Harrison tells her husband of her long hidden secret. The story is a powerful condemna- tion of present day evils of rent profi- teering and one that will make a last- ing impression. “A Child For Sale” is showing at the Strand - theater, .Minneapolls, now, “PRICE OF POSSESSION” AT ETXO THEATER TONIGHT There is a distinctly and dainty feminine charm about Bthel Clayton, and the choice of the role of Helen Barston, given her in “The Price of Possession.” which is showing at the Elko theater tonight also tomorrow matinee and. evening, is happy op- portunity for her to make the most of this appeal.
