“IHE LOVE LIGHT ” AT REX THEATER SATURDAY Mary - Pickford's latest United Ar- tists ‘production, “The Love Light,” “Which will be'seen at the Rex theater ! Saturday -and: Sunday, is an en- {'different ‘story and an abso- Iutely new characterization than any- * fhing: in whieh' the ‘World's' Sweet- heart has heretofore appeared. . Ever since Mary Pickford has had her own producing organization and could dictate as to the type of photo- _play in which she was to appear, she has adapted the policy of never:ad- hering entirely to one lne of parts, not only because she believes that the public Iike variety, but because she bel'eves the djfferent lines of char- acters’tend to increase her ability as an artist. ‘1uose’ who saw her recent com- edies will certainly enjoy her in hér forth-coming production which was written and directed by Frances Ma- rion, who, has been acclaimed the leading scenario writer of the coun- try, and bids fair to standing at the head of the list of directoresses. “The Lave Light” has unusual in- terest owing to the fact that the idea was worked out while Miss Rickford was on her honeymoon. She met Frances Marion in Italy, also on her honeymoon, and the two worked out the story sitting on a high rock overlooking the Adriatic and it was in Italy thay secured many of the properties and several of the players who support Miss Pickford. The play- ani properties were brought all the way from southern Europe to California where the Italian setfings were minutely reproduced from pho- ¢ographs taken by the two. .« rl.okwrd has appeared in com- edy-dramag but. never in an emotion- al drama of the type of ‘“The Love| Light,’ 'and it was only after care- ful study and deliberate oconsidera- tion that she felt herself equal to'the tremendous role she plays in this story. Those who have seen the produc- tion say that Mary Pickford rises to| histrionic artistic effects which a| screen ‘artist has never before at- tempted, but in all this, in the clever characterizatfon of an Italian girl, she is still the beautiful Mary whom we' .ove so much. Miss Pickford has surrounded her- self ‘with a splendid cast, which in- cludes such artists as Jean De Briac, for several years leading man to Sa- rah Bernhardt, Raymond Bloomer, Pdward Phfllips, Albert, Prescott, Evelyn Dumo, who played with 'Miss Pickford in “Little Peppina,” but who had returned to Italy to play important roles in _an Italfan com- pany, and George Rigts.’ The photography was 'done by Charles Rosgher, who was also respon- sible for the photographic-effects in “Suds,” “Pollyanna’ and several oth- er. recent productions of Miss Pick- ford. “THE SILVER LINING” AT g REX THEATER THURSDAY “The Silver Lining,” a Metro re- lease, starring Jewel Carmen, which forms the feature of the bill at the Rex theater Thursday, is a picture filled with surprises which shows in an extremely novel and entertaining manner the adventures of a beautjiful erook girl who in her battle with love and law has some wonderful ex- periences. Jewel Carmen is a most attractive crook girl while Leslie Austen’s famed mbility is at its best as the young author. Coit Albertson makes a confidence man of unusual type. Curl yson and Dorothy Dickeon add some of their famed dances to this novel picture. “The Silver Lining” was written and directed by Roland West from a scenario by D.. J. Buchanan and H. Smith. Bdward -Wynard and Frank Zucker photographed it. TOM MIX IN “THE UNTAMED” AT REX THEATER TODAY Perhaps the most wonderful pres- ent reteived by Tom Mix last Christ- anas was a hat of th¢ sombrerb type, light pearl grey in color and made especially by the famous J. B. Stet- son company for the Willllam Fox star. It is of the “XXXXX" brand and clear (beaver. It cost a Boston banker, who sent the gift, $82.50. ‘Tom wears it in “*The Untamed” in whiich he appears at the Rex theater today. “THE CHARMING DECEIVER” AT THE ELKO LAST TIMES TONIGHT There is a touch of realism about “The Charming Deceiver’” photoplay showing last times tonight at ‘the Elko theater which words fail to «describe. A mere rehearsal of ‘the plot does nof give an adequate de- ription of the realism shown in the Wisualization. 'The synopsis maKes' the ipicture somewhat common- place; the visualization makes it re- markably unusual. This is partly due to the wonderful personality of Alice Calhoun, the able support of her company, the caré and skill used in directing. “REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM.” ELKO TOMORROW * Just as “‘Huckleberry Finn" is the classic of joyous American boyhood, Kate . Douglas Wiggin’s charming New England tale, “Rebecca of Sun- . t0a Kam,” has earned a place as thé most delightful portrayal 3 . American girthood. ' Both of the: famous stories have been eransform- ed into photoplays. ‘‘Reioecca of. Sunnybrook ' Farm’ ywas one of Mary Pickford’s most suc- cesotul pyetures and by many held to {be ‘her best. “Our Mary" has done the finest work of her career in chnfl yoles.

Wholesome and clean and. crowded with humor, ‘‘His Jonah Day” ia.a departure from the usual picture and will provide a delight to the elders, and & joy to the younger generation. FINE VAUDEVILLE PROGRAM FRIDAY AT GRAND THEATER . This week’s vaudeville bill show- ing atternoon and evening at the Grand theater on Friday omly, con- sists of r comedy novelty, a dancing sister team, a clever comedy pair, and a trio of male singers who possess voices of quality. “Toots and Pal” open the bill. A clever comedfan impersonating a bell ooy does singing, comedy talking and acrobatic dancing, assisted by a won- derfully trained dog. ““The Hewett Sisters’’ present a neat, clean and attractive number, being vocalists and devotees of the Hawaifan and classic dances. Davis and Nelson offer an act consisting of rapid-fire talk which takes place be- tween a new rilesman and an ex- pedienced saleslady. A surprise finish makes this an unusually attractive number. . Possibly thel eream of the program will' ‘be seen in the appeirance, of Fredericks, Ellsworth and Thomas, a trio of men whose voices beautifully blend in color harmony in a fine repertoire of songs, some of them of the -college glee club type. {Their burlesquing of “I1 Trovatore” is a highly amusing performance. “The Mad Marriage” (is the photo- play which precedes the vaudeville. “THE GREAT LO ! AT GRAND TONIGHT Dramatic critics first wrote of him as ‘“Phe Great Lover’” because his mous singer of his: day did not start was the role of Don Glovanni—the well known lover of the stage. Music lovers afterward continued to speak of him, not as Jean Paurel, the great tenor, but as THE Don Gjiovanni— ‘““The Great Lover.” Yet the most fa- mous singer- of hi.sday did not start his career as a philanderer—an epi- cure at love's table tasting here and there, as he is shown in the Goldwyn picture which comes’ to the Grand theater for two 'days commencing tonight. At first he loved and was true only to the sweet voiced Blanca, to whoi he sang ‘in. Don Giovanni. But in- trigue and jealousy came between them. -Then- the power of. suggestion beagn its slow, sure inroad on his character. Press’ agents and-impres- sarfos’ heralded his-arrival as the coming of ‘The Great Lover.” More and more audiences began to think of and applaud him as euch instead of as Jean'Paurel, the greatést tenor. Fair women courted him—sent flow- ers to kim and wrote him notes. Finally this definition of his’ per- sonality belleved in by thousands, became the influence which made ot him. what public opinfon’ claimed, and in return he lived up to his rep- utation. Then Fate, With one swift stroke, ended this artificial existence. The great temor loses his. peerless voice.

The undertaker, so he says, has used his money with which to give a hand- some burial including cremation to another man! Eighteen months ago, Mr. Madler says, before entering’ the Laurel Hill almshouse, he gave his last dollars to the undertaker with di- rections for their spending. The other day, he wandered into a gathering place of his old Hoboken cronies and they jumped upon him with the state- ment that he was dead—dead and his ashes reposing in a vase in the crema- tory. He denied it, but they insisted so_firmly that he went to the under- taker about it. Yes, said the undertaker, it was all true, including the fact that his money had been used for the cere-| mony. The almshouse attempted to istraighten matters out by explaining to the undertaker that it was a dif- ferent name altogether \they gave him as the deceased man, but the un- i dertaken says he understocd it to be Ma_ier and he used Madler’s money for it and he doesn’t see what can be done about it. Moreover, Mr. Mad- ler, he thinks, should be glad to be alive under the ‘circumstances and not be fussy about a little burial money.
