The piece de resistance of this unusual photoplay is the wonderful | lesson of faithfulness taught by the| dog “Kazan.” His master foully mur- dered, Kazan turns against all man-; kind until he feels the friendly touch | of the hand of beautiful Joan Rodis- son, a lovely flower in an otherwise; hostile wildern-ess. Kazan never for- gets the murder of his master and he! néever forgets the act of this girl in| setting him free, though he becomes | a savage and joins a wolf pack. Lat- er when this pack sets upon the girl and a man “mushing’ 'across the; snows to reach her dying father, Ka- Zan fights off the wolves and saves the couple. Once more he. comes | | to her rescue when a wolf in human | form presses his® unwelcomo atten tions on her in a flonely cabin. .And finally he “gets’ his prey, the man who killed his master and who has come ibetween this girl and her lov- er. Triumph and happiness crown the protracted efforts of the couple to combat many obstacles, for Kazan| ghows them the -way. An exceilent cast interprets the vanious pioturesque characters _in this photoplay. Jane Novak dnd Ben * Deeley, in the two leading roles, are st their best, while Bdwin Wallock gives 'a memorable characterization of “Black’ McOready, the hardened criminal of, the North .Country. Wil- Ham Ryno and Ben Haggerty are otli- &r members of . the cast. = Bertram Bracken directed the production. — “HER FIRST ELOPEMENT” AT THE ELKO TONIGHT| !"wHer First Elopement,” ' which shows for the last times at the Elko tonight can be classed as a thorough- ly wholesonie' entertainment. Clean and sparkling with all the vim and! vigor' of the out-of-dcors. Wanda| Hawley is the star of this new pro- ducticn, adapted from a clever maga- gine story by Alice Duer Miller, au- thor of “The Charm School,” *'Come Qut of the Kitchen” and many oth- er popular stories. ‘As Christina Elliott, Wanda Haw- ley has a role splendidly fitted to. her vivaciously effective style of comedy. Poor Christina! She was wealthy and apparently ‘every ome in the ‘world wants to marry her.’ 'Life threatens ta be rather a bore until @ determined young man kidnaps her under the belief that ehe is a design~ tng “vampide” who is after his kid brother’s fortune. An easy and sim- ple plot, it soon gets tangled into a mtr&lul hodge-podge of complica- tions. © And of course an excellent cast and direction aid much in mak- ing the play a laughing success. Jer- ome Patrick appears opposite Miss Hawley, while others who are scen in supporting rvoles include Nell Craig, Lucien Littlefield. Jay Eaton.| theatre tonight and Sunday. D.
