- YHE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER SATURDAYvEVENlNG, JUNE 18, 1921 “THE PASSION FLOWER” AT THE REX THEATER SUNDAY | In “The Passion Flower” Norma | Talmadge will be seen at the Rex theater tomorrow matinee and eve- ning, allsd Monday in what is declar- ed to be the most intevesting star-| ring vehicle that has yet been given | her. The story is the work of Jacin- to Benavente, who is acclaimed as the greatest Mving dramatist of Spain today. “The Passion Flower” was tremendously popular in New York last eeason with Nance O'Neil in the role of “Raimunda” the moth- er. Norma Talmadge, however, will be seen as “Acacin,” ‘the daughter, in the picture version. She is said to have created one of the finest roles of 'her screen) career. ‘‘The Passion Flower” is a tale of Spanish peasant life, in which love, hatred, jealousy and treachery figure. It offers Nor- ma Telmadge her long awaited first opportunity to play in a Spanish role {Herbert Brenon is the director of this ambitious photodrama, in which Courtenay Foote and Harrison Ford appear as Miss Talmadge’s leading men. Others iin the cast include Eu- lalie Jensen Charles Stevenson, Alice May, Robert Agnew, Natalie Tal- madge and Robert Payton Gibbs. | Many of the exterior scenes for ““The Passion Flower” were filmed by Miss Talmadge in Florida. ‘The produc- tion, wrich is released by Assoelntedi’ First National Pictures, Inc., Wwill open its engagement at the Rex the- ater) on| Sunday. “HONEYMOON RANCH” AT THE REX THEATER TODAY ONLY| A new star, is gleaming in Bemid- b, a little, bedimpled, golden haired | young lady who is winning a host of | new followers at every showing of “Honeymoon Ranch,” the photoplay showing at the Rex today only. Her name is Ray—-Allene Ray---and mo- | vie fans are already ‘beginning to| Rah! Rah! for her. - ! Like most screen. celebrities, Al-| lene Ray’s career has been somewhat meteonic. She hails from Texas, the great southwest country which is the locale for the story of ‘‘Honeymoon Ranch.” She is a typical ranchman’s daughter, full of fire and pep and dare-deviltry. She rides a horse like a streak, will take on the Dbuckiest, fire<eyed, unbusted broncho and turn | him into a mild, well-mannered and obliging animal, dn the nick of time. She loves to swim. She can plow through the water, her toes beating out the steady Thythm of the raoing difticult “crawl stroke.” She will take a ten, twenty, or thirty foot drive without the least ‘hesitation. Certain it is, if there is an ocean anywhere's near where she is mak- iing o picture the director is going to have @ hard time keeping her on the ob. ' 4 As a little girl (she Is barely @ lit- tle, big girl now) she had the repu- tation of heing a tom-boy. She was constantly playing tricks on the cow- boys and always getting into mis- chief of some sort. We'll whisper it ~_she has been known to play base- ball with the “‘gang.” Allene’s beauty first attracted the attention of the manager of a musi- cal comedy show in San Antonia. He offered her a chance to act and she accepted. After a long tutelage with daneing instructors she was finally engaged for her first show. She was soon gaining fame in the leading roles of several musical comedies. She was discovered for the screen by two men. Harry Meyers , the sereen star happened to be making a picture in thd town that Miss Ray way playing. Tex O'Reilly, the O. Henry of the plains, was about to start on his first series of film stories. The two men met her at the same time. “THE MIDNIGHT RIDERS” AT THE REX THEATER TUESDAY “The Midnight Riders,” Richard Kipling's new production, is an elab- orate screen version of the story of that name by Alvin J. Neitz, which is laid 4n Wyoming and deals with the sheep raisers of Paradise Valley. “The Midnight Riders” will open an engagement at the Rex theater on Tuesday and Is said to be an unusual combination of rapidly moving melo- drama and beautiful romance in set- tings that abount in magnificent views of Wyoming's valleys, with sheep covering hill and dale as far a3 the eye can reach. The story gets its mame from @ georet society, the members of which venture forth only at night, and, closely masked and heavily armed, take the law iinto their own hands Without regard to the night of prop- erty owners throughout the country. Thrills and suspense abound while a veautiful romance is cleverly woven into the unusual plot, Keeping the one woman in the cast, popular Caro- lyne Wagner, prominent in the fore- ground. . “THE SIN THAT WAS HIS” AT ELKO THEATER TONIGHT The very zenith of dramatic exe- cution seems to have been reached in “The Sin That Was His,” the new Selznick” picture, featuring William Faversham, which will be seen at the Elko theater tonight, also Sunday ‘matinee and evening. The story upon which the picture was based was written by Frank Packard, author of “The Miracle Man,” and it is a question if in this later he has not eclipsed his former success. This picture tells a big, gripping story of a man against whom fate had set her mark, his fight to cling to the better things of life, misunder- _standings that send him to the depths of despair and finally his rejuvena- tion through the medium of a good man’s faith and a pure woman’s love. In the leading role, Faversham seems to have caught the true spirit in which this wonderful story was - NEWS OF THE THEATRES’ i written and his portrayal {and convincing. Lucy Cotton plays the ue; leading feminine role opposite Mr. Faver- {sham, and others in the supporting cast_are: Lulu Warrenton, Pedro de | {Cordoba, Bobby Connelly, Miriam Battista, and Bobby Agnew. |“THE EASY ROAD” ADMIRABLE PICTURE COMING TO ELKO Thomas Meighan’s third Para- mount siarring venicle, ‘“ine tusy oy, 19 B pactley danvll Uaull e arection oX ‘rom rorman of Blarr Hal's Shorc swry, “wmasy dtreeu.” it wul be snown a. the rako wneater next »onaay and Tuesday.

SPLENDID VAUDEVILLE BILL, GRAND, LAST TIME TONIGHT ‘What is perhaps the most satisfac- tory vaudeville program that has ap- peared 1n this city tor several montns, was en)oyed by the patrons of the Grand vheater iast evening, where the four acts will be on the program again tomight for the last time. Every act offered real entertainment, and were heartily applauded for their work by the auduence. Keane and Pearl, Cubian dancers de {uxe, opened the show with a sing- ing and dancing number, and were fotlowed by J. Aldrich Libbey, m songs. Mr. Libbey, having been sing- mg_pnpulnr songs for tnirty years, during which time he introduced anu popularized “After the Ball,” “Two uittte Girl im Blue,” and *rle Laid Av{ny a Suit of Gray,” has a splendid | voice and uses it to a splendid ad-/ vantage. George and Marie Brown, “The Girl and the Boob,” have a lot of clever comedy and better than usual voices and Pantzer brothers are without question the best acro- bats ever seen in the city. All in all, it’s a good show, good entertain- ment, and clean. The four acts and the picture, “The House of the Tolling Bell,” featuring May McAvoy and Bruce Gordon, will appear twice this eve- ning, at 7:30 and the second show which begins at 9:15. “EVERYWOMAN” IS SHOWING AT THE GRAND TOMORROW | Remarkable " scenic ~effects have been secured in the Paramount- Art- craft picture, Everywoman,” which is showing at the Grand theater Sun- day and Monday, with Violet Heming in the title role. One of the most spectacular is the banquet hall of Wealth, the part played by Theodore Roberts. It is built in the shape of a dollar mark. One circle of the “S” contains a swimming pool, while the other is occupied by a dance floor. _On these two stages beautiful girls in the most remarkable costumes of ultramodern mode disport. For the big theater scenes in which Fverv- woman makes her debut, a chorus of extremely pretty girls in unique costumes was employed. The stage was literally covered with real flow- ers, which gives an idea of the ex- travagant scale upon which the spec- tacle was filmed. In these days of widely-heralded all-star motion picture casts that so gf:,:n fail to materialize on the screen !t is a relief to find a picture like “Everywoman,” presenting an array of film favorites that has seldom been duplicated in one picture be- fore. Violet Heming, the charming stage-and screen player, has the lead- img role in this sumptuously produc- ed version of ‘Walter Browne’s fam- ous mortality play. Theodore Roberts is Wealth, Wanda Hawley iy Beauty, | and Monte Blue is Love. Bebe Dan- iels was recruited from the ranks of comedy to play the role of Vice. Others in the company are Margaret Loomis, Mildred Reardon, Raymond Hatton, Noah Beery, Irving Cum- mings, Charles Ogle, and Tully Mar- shall. The picture was directed by George H. Melford and is a Para- mount-Arteraft picture. Envy Found Everywhere.

In the reign of Philip the Fair of France (1294) . an economy wave spread throughout the country. This movement was largely influenced by the extravagance of the higherups as well as the mounting costs of living, which seemed to embarrass the poor folk in those days as much- as it does at the present time. In order to curb-this extravagauce a statute was passed during Philip's relgn which: prohibited common citi- zens from wearing furs, precious stones or gold. This privilege: was bestowed only upon tliose who could afford it, counts and barons, whose annua! Income amounted to 6,000 livres a year. At the same time, ladies of this rank were restricted to one single gown each year. 3,000 livres per annum were permit- ted to have more than two sults each year either by gift or purchase. i4 his income was less than this he would be compelled to appear before the magistrate and explain his extrava- gance, _— World's Largest Petrified Forest.
