It will be shown at| | the Elko theaier Friday and Saturday next. |“THE MIDLANDERS” AND ‘ EDGAR'S HAMLET AT GRAND| In appreciation of the boresome |sameness with which the majority of | motion picyures are presented to au- | diences, particularly in tie matter of scenic backgrounds, the producers of ““The Midlanders” Bessie Love's lat- est picture have strived fo present something new both in story and the| { location in which it is laid. | “To that end, the producers selected | for Miss Love, the popular nove!, “The Midlanders,” writiea bv Chavies f’l‘enny Jackson whici is showing tc- i night for the last time, at the Grand. | Little is known of this clannish mid- landeq folk in the outside world.

Tofn Santschi, the stalwart hero of the story, is a typical son of the west. Perhaps his greatest charac- terization before this was in “The Speilers” by Rex Beach. He is de- scribed as the fastest-drawing and kindest-hearted Westerner on the screen. The story of “Beyond the Trail” deals with the personal sacra- fices of a man for the happiness of Mis old mother. GIRL WINS FIGHT AGAINST HEAVY 0DDS Tonight the Elko theater will pre- sent “Tarnished = Reputations” in which the Cameo iGirl of the screen, Dolores Cassinelli, is starred. The producer, Leonce ‘Perret, wrote the story, taking for his hero- ine a beautiful village belle who falls in love with a visiting artist, poses for the painting that makes him fa- mous, and is then forgotten by him. Driven to the city by the slander of the village, and without any busi- ness education or particular talent she finds it difficult to earn a l.ving.

When she gains her freedom she faces the fu- ture with her reputation through no fault of her own, tarnished. ‘But a good samaritan—an author with deep faith«in:-human nature— hears the girl's story and gives her a chance. Then begins a new life for the girl. 'She becomes a great ac- tress, and then the artist again enters The outcome of this drama- tic romance will be divulged at the Elko theater tonight only. TWO STORIES, COMBINED IN' SPLENDID PHOTOPLAY “Black Beauty,” a story that has been read by people in all countries for over forty years ,was made into | spectacular motion picture at the cost of over ‘half a million dollare. It required wne of the largest ca. ever assembled for a film and the big- gest technical staff to be employed by any picture company. An inside story dealing with humans has been | interwoven in Anna Sewell’s narra- tive in such a manner that it in no way conflicts with-the original story. This unusual film will be shown at the Elko theater mext Sunday, Mon- day and Tuesday. SIX MELODY MAIDS AT GRAND THEATER FRIDAY .

These well-known words were first found fn Franck's “Northern Memolrs,” written In 1658. “Eaten her out of house and home,” a phrase, In view of the present price of food, un- doubtedly repeated by worried house- wives, was originated by Shakespeare in his “Henry IV.” quiet life” is an expression which arose from a play by Middleton, bearing that title. urn over a new leaf,” by the wuy, was first used in the sawme play.

T Country More Fortunate in That Respect Than Are Other Lands in Europe. We in the British Isles appear to have got rid of the wolf plague. In England, in the early Fifteenth century, i the beast ceased to be a danger that had to be reckoned with. It remained {longer In Scotland, where the very |1ast wolf ever heard of in the roariing state Is sald to have been slain by Sir Ewen Cameron of Lochiel during the reign of Charles Il—an fncident that appears to have been looked upon as distinctly worthy of notice. The complete and final elimination of the bane is no doubt owing to the fact that, as lupus was steadily being hunted down in the land, our insular position precluded all possibility of fresh immigeation. In France the case was different. There was nothing to prevent the migrating wolf from reaching the country from the wilder- nesses of Central Europe—even from Russia and still more distant Siberia, the classic home of the race. Many are the legends, to some extent based on fact, of vast armies of wolves traveling—even as the-invad- i | | | i bungry ideserts to the-richer lands of the West, to be stopped only by the Atlantic. At any rate, to this day the black wolf crosses the Pyrenees, and the brown wolf the Alps, to reinforce fraternally the ranks of the much- harried gray wolf of France. And the day seems still far' distant when the curse will be finally extinguished.— Lgerton Castle in the Youth’s Com- panion.
