Buck's love-making is said to be quite a. treatin itself. Beatrice Burnham plays opposite him- im the cast are Helene Rosson and James Farley. The story was written by Jack Strumwasser and the scenario is from the pen of William K. Howard. Bern- and Durning directed the picture and Frank Good protographed it. “pPECK’S BAD BOY” AT THE REX SUNDAY AND MONDAY The story opens in a little village in which reside the Peck family. It js circus day. Jackie (“Peck’s Bad Boy”), his pal, and “Queenie,” his dog, want to see the circus. But the necessary wherewithal is lacking. This is quite a necessary factor to Jackie and his pal. Therefore, a scheme takes in Mr. Peck (a wealthy real estate dealer—Jackie's Pa). A meeting is arranged between Pa Peck and a_so-called “lady.” in the casé happens to be Jackie’s pal dressed up in his sister’s best go-to- meeting clothes. One can well imag- jne the comedy situations that arise from this cpisode, and needless to say, Jackie obtains, Pa Peck’s per- mission to take his pals to the circus and a bright silvér dollar besides. And, of course, a “bad boy” at the circus cannot be very good. The first thing Jackie does upon efit»r-‘ ing the circus grounds is to play with Nero, one, of their big lions. ! They playful moments resulted in the lion escaping from his cage. Then the| fun starts. The entire village is in the height of excitement and fear. And at the height of it all, Jackie| and his pals come to the rescue and| capture the animal. Another highly laughable episode takes place in church with the bad boy, as usual, up to some mischief and Pa Peck, as usual, being made the target. In this instance, it can well! be said that no situation has ever| been presented in a more laughable manner. The fun starts when Mr. Peck, having pains from overwork, asks the bad boy to bring his lum- bago pad. Jackie brings the pad. But| prior to this, he fills it with several hundred ants, which he had gathered that morning. It will not be neces- sary to tell what happens from that time on. Strange to say, the min- ister takes for his text, “Go to the Ant, Thou Sluggard.” And with these words from the reverend’s lips, the nntl? starththeir work, rom the church episode we find “Peck’s Bad Boy” ofle?ing some high- ly drnmnti_c moments. A burglar en- ters the Péck household and is discov- ered by the bad boy. But complica- tlons set in and, while Mr. Robber escapes without hig loot, valuable pa- pers are missing. How these are finally discovered helps this episode to tensity an dto cap the climax of the _Presentation, one of the most _ realistic railroad collisions that' has ever been screened, is shown. In this scene, Jackie Coogan does some re- markable work, which calls for unlim- ited nerve. Wheeler Oakman comes to the rescue in a most admirable fgzstuor;, and, of course, Jackie’s big :;usel?‘ 1‘]'8}!‘ tt?'llei“e to see her hero enact ‘cleven 0 i i Hie bonen ur” saving of her lit- | “LOVE'S BATTLE” AT THE ELKO TONIGHT---TUESDAY Jf‘m Moore, fin the role of “Smiling Joo” in “Love's Battle,” the Climax special feature, plays the part of a tramp in the early part of the plc- ture and finds it necessary to held up W restauraut filled with peoplé in ;)srd:l:' m’ get a me;\l:. ‘This production showing at Elko eate nm’: P theater tonight Mr. Moore is starred iin this pictur with Blleen Sedgwick. His pflcn‘sl:tf tional intrcduction to her is follow- od by a whirlwind of action untib it culminates in his rescue by her from the gallows. A two-part Christie comedy, “Go- Ang Taréugh the Rye,” in which Bob- by Vernon and Vera Stedman are the featured players is also at the Elko tonight and tcmorrow. The “lady” | i rected splendidly by Wallace Worsley of his choite, also the owner of a rading string and the victim of a clique of turf crooks, wins her love and several of the local classic racing events. ‘The scenes are all laid on the his- tovic course of Epsem Downs, in Eng- land, though many of the horses en- | tered in the several events are from | Kentucky, having n_ shipped to the other side especially for thi’s pic- ‘ture. The léading roles are played by the popuMn screen favorite, Violet Hopson &zid Stewart Rome, the hon- ors for success of this gripping |picture being; divided about evenly between thems “DON'T NEGRECT YOUR WIFE" AT'THE GRAND TOMORROW *Don’t Neglect Your Wife!” the Goldwyn .cture to be shown at the Grand theater tomorrow and Wed- nesday is the first story written di- rectly for the screen by one of Am-/ erica'’s greatest living women writers Gentrude Atherton. As in her books, s0 in this photoplay, Mrs. .\therton gives ug the problems of a beautiful, young married woman who has been cisillusioned in her hugband and has found herself caring fon a disting- uished editor. - The domestic triangle is solved in a very plausible manner, {but with a dramatic intensity im- possible to attain when teh charact- ers involved are the usual flappers | one sees too often on the screen. After all, the mature woman, with ‘her ability to cope with life, is-a, far more interesting screen-subject than a girl whase sole appeal Ties in' her | prettiness. But 'in Mrs. Atherton’s | story, the wife happens to be the! ! beautiful Mabel Julienne Scott;"tire | hushand, .that . excellent actor,| Charles Clary; and the other man;| | Lewis S, Stone; all three of whom give sterling. performances which | make the story take on the semblance of flesh and blood. The action of “Don’t Neglect Your Wife!” takes place ;in San Francisco and the old Five Points section of New York. The picture was mount- ed gorgeously by Goldwyn and di- “Get Quick Rich” Edgar, another of the popular two-part Edgar comedies completes the program. MABEL JULIENNE SCOTT IN GOLDWYN SPECIAL EILM Madeline, the leading character of “Don’t Neglect Your Wife!” a story of early California days, by Gertrude Atherton, comjing to the ‘Grand ‘the- ater on Tuesday and Wednesday, is played by Mabel Julienne ‘Scott, | whose recent work in “The Concert,” | a_Goldwyn picture, put this talented | young actress ‘in ‘the list of prospec- {tive stars. Miss Scott was one of | the first to portray half-breed and full-blocdect Indian roles, among them being Nevia in ‘The Barrier.” |'She was leading woman for Piske O'Hara, and the leading character in “The Intruder” and ini “Behold My wite!”’. -Her work is of an excep- tionally distinctive quality. WHERE HUSTLE IS _UNKNOWN Mallorca Justly Entitibd o the Ap- peliation Given to It, “Island of Calm.” Mallorca, a tiny“speck of an island in the Mediterranean, 1§ a land of peace and ease. A great painter and writer who visited the island, has christened it “The Islapd of Calm,” because there everyone moves, rests, talks, walks aund conducts his court- ships as it the day had 48 hours, the mile about 16,000 feet, and the span of human life 700 years, so little haste do they make in living and enjoying life. These people who take life so “ leisurely, are not lazy, shiftless or un- pleasant in personal appearance or manner. They are intelligent, honest, capable of work, sober and econom- fcal. These characteristics, presegved throughout centuries of: uhinterrupted peace and tranquility, have dade them ‘peaceable, ' trusting and home- loving. The men are of medium height, strong and agile; And as for the women, they pos- gess the same lovely skin as the women of North America, features as if scluptured by Phidias or Praxiteles, and ;they walk like goddesses.. But they know nothing of the “joy of liv- ing,” due partially to ancestral Arabic influences and to the fact that their HART AND ARBUCKLE AT ELKO WEDNESDAY Willlam S.

It is called “The Tell Gate” and is a thril- ling and unusually appealing story of ‘the rugged days of the golden west. Anna Q. Nilsson makes an appeal- ing leading woman.

These snappy skirts require blouses that are de- signed for the same kind of service and a demand for attractive tailored blouses has been answered by the appearunce of fine models in taffeta, pongee, crepé de cnine and satin. < As nearly all' th® skirts are striped or made of plaids and checks, the, blouses are simply designed and plain. |* Some of them have lingerie collars and vestees by which means they may be | always -kept frésh:‘looking, but the, smartest style requires - the simplest and most casual designing.

Loosely ad- Justed girdles of silk, weighted at the ends with small balls or other orna- ments are provided for them, but some times a narrow girdle, made of the material in the skirt, is worn instead.
