“BLIND WIVES” AT THE REX SUNDAY AND MONDAY 1f tha writing of “Uncle Tom's Oabin” was really the principal in- strument in the eventual emancipa ‘tion of the slave, then “Blind Wives,’ the new William Fox special screen production at the Rex theater Sunday ' and Monday, is the instrument that is going to emancipate a lot of love- 1y women who are slaves to personal | vanity. “Blind Wives” which was made from Edward Knoblock’s internation- al stage success “My Lady’s Dress,” is one of the most powerful argu- ments that ever found its way to the screen. It strikes at the very vitals of woman’s Vanity. It tears a costly gown to pieces, and shows you the poor, miserable element toiling in darkness and suffering who have manufactured the dress. It shows you the length to which some women will go to arouse envy in the eyes of their sisters and admiration in the heartj of men. And finally it shows you the woman crushed with remorse, and putting aside her folly, to sink in utter humiliation before the hus- band who had honored her at the cost of tremendous self-sacrifice and over work. In meking this most pretentious of Fox productions it ‘was found neces- sary to stage a complete fashion show, in order to localize properly one of the most graphic incidents of the story. Mr. Fox ecnmiisted the aud of Lu- cile’s (Laly Duff Gordon). the noted 1 young star’s admirers have liked him because of his winning smile and courage, but in this picture they will see the favorite as an actor of the first water. Critics who have seen his work as the Indian Maslun in “The Hunger of |the Blood,” claim that it is among | +he most brilliant pieces of fine act-! ing that has ever been seen on the | screen. : : Mr. Farnum while not out of his twenties has had a thorough train- ing on the stage with Col. Henry W. Savage, and when he drifted into the movies ,like Douglas Fairbanks he had the advantages of a developed stage presence. This gives an actor | before the camera the gift of seeing | his audience through the lens of the | clicking camera. He is able to sense his audience. -This is a great gift for it enables an actor to play direct to his people. “The Hunger of the Blood,” has been accorded rousing receptions wherever it has played, and the man-~ agement of the Rex theater are con- fident that it will be among the most successful and satisfying offerings of | this season. | | ;"CHICKENS" AT THE FLKO | | LAST TIMES TONIGHT H Douglas MacLean's latest Para- mount-Ince starring vehicle “Chick- ens” will be the feature attraction (at the Elko theater tomight, fast | times. % The comedy, a scintillating story 'of the adventures and romance of a | modiste, with the result that those|city youth who takes up ghicken | who have the privilege of witnessing ranching, was adapted to the screen | the story of “Blind Wives,” will be by Agnes Christine Johnston from as intimate observers of New York's the Saturday Evening Post story, most fashionable show as though ‘‘Yanconna Yillies,” by Herschel S.| they occupied the luxuricus chairs|Hall.

AT GRAND—TONIGHT | No one can see “The Killer,” the| Benjamin B. Hampton-Pathe feature at the Grand theater tomight and Sunday and remain a mere spectator. It makes the spirit of you leave your ceat and participate in the love and danger and joy, the fun and thril-| ling adventure of the story. The story —Stewart Edward White's most fascinating and sinis- ter character that ever figured in fie- tion. Henry Hooper was a killer by nature. To him, destroying life was as permissable an act as playing the plano, or reading his favorfte books. In a little book he listed the peopie he had marked for destruction, then crosséd them off, one by one, when his wicked plans had been comsuma- ted. Becayse Ruth Emory and her lit- tle brother were part owners of his ranch they were trapped in his net. They were prisoners in his beautiful home and watched and spied upon ev-! ery moment by the Killer or his ser- vants. He allowed no living thing' on 'his ranch that wasn’t his, body and soul, and there was no one the distraught girl could turn to for help. Her position was utterly hopeless' until an adventure-seeking young man, disbelieving the tales he had “THE BAIT” AT THE ELKO TOMORROW AND MONDAY| Maurice Tourneur’s latest Para- mount production, ‘“The Bait,” will e the feature attraction at the Elko!| theater tomorrow and Monday. Hope Hamilton, the well kncwn Texas ‘beauty, plays the leading role. “The Bait" is descrrbed as a pleas- ing combination of romance, thrills, -and mystery, with the usnal colorful Tourneur prcduction methods in evi- | dence. The story centers around a pretty shop girl, who, singled out by a master-crook as his pawn In a game to capture and later blackmail a young wiillionaire, is *framed” by the crook and then rescued by him while on her way to jail. Out of gratitude, she becomes an innocent prey to his schemes and learns the truth only when it seems to be too late. ‘But, after a thrilling experi- ence, maiters turn out happily. One cf the thrills is furnished by Migs Hampton's escape from a police patrol, from which she is rescued by a master-crook. ' In another scene, a lion escapes from a cage in a theater and bounds upon the occupants of a box. - ‘A temement fire and a shodt- ing fray are other big dramatic mo- ments. * Girl Has Real Grievance.

Benjamin B. Hampton has trans- ferred the story to the screen with all the smashing melodrama, adven- ‘turous romance, delightful humor and vividness an¢; viiplity of the: novel. “The Killer"” was directed by How- ard Hickman and interpreted by a cast headed by Frank Cimpeau in the| title role. Claire Adams and Jack; Conway in the romantic leads, little Frankie Lee, Tod Sloan, Edward Pell, 1 Milton Ross, Frank Hayes, and oth- ers. A “Torch” comedy in two parts— “Tn oot Big Lead,” will complete ‘the program. ADVENTURESS VS, ADVENTURER—GRAND Adventuresses will never cease toj be more interesting than adventurers, for they have their sex for an addi- tional charm. Zelda Zears plays the part of a female intriguer in “The Highest Bidder,” the latest Goldwyn Picture, starring Madge Kennedy, which will be shown Monday and Tuesday at the Grand theater, and| che gives an outstanding perform- ance which is adequate to the stand-| ard set by Miss Kennedy. Miss Zears made her screen debut in Miss Ken- nedy’s previous picture, *“The Truth,” by Clyde Fitch, and it is interesting to know that for many years she was private secretary to the best known of American dramatists. “THE HUNGER OF THE BLOOD” AT REX THEATER TODAY Local movie lovers will be given a treat today when Franklin Farnum will be seen at the Rex theater in ‘his newest screen offerirg “The Hun- ger of the Blood.” In this picture Mr. Farnum has ex- changed his cowboy role for that of | them comfortuble. ter.
