royRy: TR WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 11, 1921 ey S P 0 HAYAKAWA REALIZES HIS LIFE AMBITION With the first turn oi the camera crank on “The First Born,” the Rob- ertson-Cole = super-spedial starring Sessue Hayakawa, which shows at the Elko, last times tonight. the fam- ous Japanese actor, was well on the way toward the realization of a life- time ambition. Long befare Hayakawa rose to his envied position as the screen’s “‘artis- tic tragedian” there flamed within him the hope that some day he would have the opportunity of creating on the screen the role of Chan Wang, the wistful, pathetic figure in Francis Powers' tremendous drama. Through his work under the Robertson-Cole banner, Hayakawa gradually rose to the culmination of his dream. Helen Jerome Eddy whose name is linked with some of the most note- worthy screen productions, plays the leading feminine role in ‘“The First Born”. The rest of the cast includes Marie Pavis, “‘Sonny-Boy” Warde, Goro Kino, Frank Seki and Wilson Hummell. Wallace Reid and Bebe Danields in return ‘showings of ithe delightful Paramount picture “‘Sick Abed” and “Fatty” Arbuckle in his famous two- part comeGy entitled ‘“The Hayseed” are announced as attractions at the Elko theater for tomorrow, Thurs- day. VIVIAN MARTIN IN STRONG PLAY AT GRAND:“PASSION" AT THE REX “INVISIBLE RAY” AT THE REX THEATER TOMORROW The 19-year-old serial star,, and heroine in the “Invisible Ray” is the youngest screen actress whose rise from the unknown depths to a fore- most. place in filmdom makes a tale as thrilling as the serial in which she lacts, Born at Pawtucket, Rhode Is- land, she was left an orphan at the age of eleven, and placed in the cus- tody of an aunt. At the age of twelve {Ruth was sent to St. Mary's Semin- ary and afterward to tne Ursuline'| Academy in New York. From her earliest youth, Ruth Clif- ford took to athletics, her friends of- ten remarked in fun that she was born with, a kick. Of modest means, the girl was never spoiled and soften- ed by pampeying and luxury, and | spent her idle hours in outdoor play | which accounts for the unusual ath- llellc ability she displays so effective- ly in “The Invisible Ray.” | " Ruth Clifford’s career in motion- | pictures was the result, of the purest |accident. While passing the Edison |Studio on Decatur avenue on Her way | ta and from the Academy, she used to | peep through a hole in“the fence to { catch a glimpse of some of the scenes, As luck would have it the Bdison di- | rectot, who chanced to pass by, and was struck by her beauty, which strongly resembles that of Mary Pick- ‘ ford, offered her a minor role in one |of the scenes which she accepted with open arms. ’ WORLD PROBLEM MAY BE SOLVED BY PRODUCTION By Stephen C. Mason, President National Asosciatiion of Manufactur- | ers. (Written for the United Press) New York, May 9.—The purposes which actuated the National Associa~ tion of Manufacturers in calling a Conference of Ambassadorsj and Min- isters on World Trade, were exem- plified by President Harding in his first address to congress when he said: 5 “Qur obligations in effecting Euro- pean tranquility because of war in- volvements are not -less impelling than our part in the wai itself, This restoration must be wrought before the human procession can go onward again.” Ae an organjization comprising 6,- 000 members, proximately 80 per cent of all of the raw and manufactured materials in ciation of Manufacturers has determ- ined if possible co-ordinate the re- 'stabflize social and econord.c con- ditions throughout the world. Out of the conflicting desires and needs of the world today, two funda- mental necessities are apparent. They are employment for the people, and . production - by industry—each dependent upon the other, and woth dependent upon sources of supply which only the United States can which produces ap-| o ganization such as ours undertakes the United States, the Nation~\ As<o- | (o present to them briefly, definitely sources of its members in, an effort to! the conference of Ambassadors and to the executives responsible for the' commercial supremacy of this coun- try, why those executives must cn-| operate with the other nations of the world in restoring production. It ls‘ impossible at this time to say whatl by this conference, but I believe that | if it does nothing else it will paint| the most vivid and intimate picture | yet painted in this country, of the vast importance of the rest of the world to the well-being of this coun-| try. | In every part of the United States | one finds manufacturers, both indi- | vidually and in groups, who are vit-| ally anxious to aid in every way pos- sibleiin restoring the economic equil- jbrium of the world, not only because | they are anxious for the welfare of | other peoples, but also because they are disturbed regarding the welfare of their own people. It is difficult. hewever for these busy men to get & clear and unbiased view of the neces- sities of the g tuation unless an or- and concisely a salient presentment such as we hoxe will develop from ministers on. world trade.

Most| of the scenes were taken in the back- water gection of Florida, the first; time the motion picture camera has invaded that desolute reglon.

The rafters are festoon- ed with boughs of pine and fir. In the spacious fireplace, which stretches across an entire end of the room, crackle enormous logs. Hard-handed ranchers and forest- «ers, rosy-cheeked, vivaclous out-of- doors girls, and white-hai'red pioneers who have spent their lives in the Do- minion mingle in a revel of whole- zale merriment, a revel that contrasts strangely with the fashionable socie- ty affairs of biase London which fol- Jow later in the story. “Passion” unfolds a thrilling story of the rise of a humble little French milkiner to a position where she is able to domjnate a king. She is a character replete, with a strang mix- ture of virtues and faults, but above. all, she possesses irresistible wiles and eniiles, such as easily ensnared men of the highest rank. But her great triumphs prove to be her great undoing in the end and the sequence of events through which she passes in her rige and fall combine to make one of the most appeaiing and most gensationally engrossing narratives the screen has yet visualized. It is a foregone conclusion that an unus- ual treat is in store for every patron lof this theater in witnessing this great photoplay spectacle. “OLD LADY 31” AT THE REX THEATER THURSDAY ®mma Dunn has created for the soreen her famous role of Angie in thie. stage”Play in Wich “she made such,a hit several seasdns ago at'the 39th-Street theater in New York clt‘y, Metro Pjcture cor n has ob- tained this cap:bl% and also Henry Harmon, who played the part of Abe, her husband, in the original production by Lee Kugel.

The story of Angie and Abe Rose is that of an aged couple who have invested their life savings in mining stockl which. proves worthless, With only one hundred dollars left they start for their old heme, Angle tc enter the Old Ladies’ Home and Abe the Alms House. The arrival of the old couple at the gate of the institu- tion is touching and overwhelming. The youthful romance develops when Mary, daughter of one of the directors of the institution falls in love with John, a young man of all work about the place, 3 CAN BE 'FILLING STA MOTOR INN— ED.
