THE SEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER 'J’Agx HOXIE FIIMED: AT i - THE REX THEATER TODAY * Prcbably no more romantic or in- teresting figure exists in'the motion pfcture indastry ‘‘today than that of Jack Hoxie, a man who but a few « short years ago was a. cowpuncher king for $40 a month and ‘‘grub.” orn _in: Oklahoma in 1890, Jack ‘Hoxie is probably one of the last of the real old-fashioned cowboys to come out of the fast vanishing West of‘the -days . when cowboys and Tanchymen ruled that broad land with & hand of iron, where the only law the one a man carried on his hip and the value of a ‘man’s life ofteft depended wupon the _celerity with which he could get that gun into action, “THE FACE AT THE WINDOW” AT REX THEATER THURSDAY (Members of the Third Troop, U. S. cavalry, and of the American Legion play a large part in the riot scenes dn “The Face at Your Window,” a stirring Wiilliam Fox special produc- tion which is coming to the Rex the- ater on Thursday.

Western star productions present William Fairbanks in ““Western Pep’’ at the Rex theater Saturday. Being shot off a horse when he'is going full speed is no joke and if you wamt to know, how it is, Bill can tell you it's a good way of committing. suitide. , The first time Bill went over the horse went over after him. ‘We wish the story, was such that we could use it, but we couldn’t and it had to be done over again. It’s a pretty risky business but Bill is the star and has to take a chance, and in this picture you wouldn’t give a penny for his life if you saw what he had to do. THRILLING MYSTERY PLAY TONIGHT AT GRAND There are four persons who might have a motive for the murder of Dr. Sainsbury in A Voice in the Dark,” an exciting Goldwyn picture, which comes to the Grand.theater for tonight and Thursday. ‘. Dr. Saingbury was mysteriously slain in the grounds of his sanator- dum, and evidence pointed with equal strength to four persons connected; with his life; Mrs, Lydiard, a patient whem he had deceived by giving sus gar. pills, and who mbore:t &,b:‘n: ing; unreasonabie ) tme! b hinf; BlanchE Warfen, who' agetold womin's ‘Teason; ! Adele, who might have been pgbmpted by Healousy ‘and~ Adele's sweetheart, ‘whio hated his sudcessful rival. As far as the audience knows there 48 mo other person ‘in the story who has‘cause to commit the murder, and the_ surprise element lies in the fact that none of the four was gullty. Included in the cast of thd picture are Irene Rich, Ora Carew, Ramsey ‘Wallace, Alan Hale, Alec Francis and James Neill, all well known to'screen followers. TOM MOORE DOES REAL COURTING IN FILM “Made in Heaven” is the title of the next Goldwyn picture, coming to the Grand theater commencing Saturday. Everybody knows the rest ‘of that‘‘Marriages are made in Hea- ven.” The title tells the tale of one of the '‘most romantic love matches * that ever took place in filmdom—that Tom Mcore, the star of this pic- Jture, and Rene Adoree, who plays his | tieel Irish sister’in the story. i Mr. Moore‘has known Miss Addree for ‘only a few days when director Victor Schertzinger noticed = some- thing was wrong with his usual sun- ny smile—it took a more ardent meaning when ‘he looked at Rene |Adoree. The next thing that hap- pened was the visit of a newspaper interviewer, who spread thte news broadcast that the two were engaged !ox married. Movie fans may have a 1 glimpse, of the romance of Tom Moore and Rene .Adoree, for it was on the Goldwyn stage, under the eyes of the entire company and the direc- ttor, that Tom Moore did his courting. ‘Whether the title had anything to do with their marriage, or not, is 2 moot question.
