T 4 Ty THE BEMIDST DAILY PIONEER T aERER B “EVERYWOMAN AT GRAND LAST TIME TONIGHT Remarkable scenic effects have been secured in the Paramount- Art- craft picture, “Everywoman,’” whiich is showing at the Grand theater last tiime tomight, 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 Every- 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 often fail to materialize on the screen it_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- ing role in this sumptuously produc- ed version of Walter Browne's fam- ous mortality play. Theodore Roberts is Wealth, Wanda Hawley is 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-Artcraft picture. MOONLIGHT ROMANCE CAUSED BY “MIDSUMMER MADNESS” Dangerous romance, highly emo- tional moments and a 'brand new acreen situatin are embodied in Wil- liam De Mille's very pleasing and gkilfully presented producticn via Paramount, ‘“‘Midsummer Madness,” from Cosmo Hamilton's latest novel, “His Friend and His Wife,” and which will' be shown as the feature offering at the Elko theater Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The romance is between a husband ‘and another man’s wife, and to make matters worse, both the husbands and wives had been life long, intimate friends. In due time, the rmantyc pair realize their guilt and turn back, but not until the seed of scan- dal has been sown by a gossiping so- ciety woman. Then comes disclos- , ures and confessions and. some grip- ! ping complications, all of whish gerve to make this one of the strong- est and most entertaining society dramas of the season. Conrad Nagel and Lois Wilson play the erring hus-!| band and wife, while Jack Holi and Lila Lee are the wronged ones. “THE PASSION FLOWER” AT REX LAST TIMES TODAY ‘Sunmy Spain has never been more colorfully or faithfully transplanted to the screen than in “The Pasgion Flower,” in which Norma Talmadge| rises to great dramatic and emoation- al heights and scores her most ar- tilstic and fascinating achievement in | the silent drama to date. | “The Passion Flower” opened at the Rex last night to an audience which was held tense with interest throughout the showing of this truly remarkable protodrama. It is a wor- thy adaptation of the play of the| same name by Jacinto Benavente, | Spain’s greatest living dramatist, and | 1t is a credit to the antistry of the director, Herbert Brenon, as well as to the very charmiing and talented star, J On the stage Nance O'Neil de- lighted her audience in the role of “Raimunda,” the mother, but in the screen version Norma Talmadge is| the entrancing and fiery *“Acacia” the daughter, who spurns the love of ‘her jealous step-father and is the center{ of the most romantic and tragic tale. Norma Talmadge has an excep- tionul supporting cast, with two; leading men, Courtney, Foote, who plays the role of Esteban, the step- father, ang (Harrison Ford, as Nor- ‘bert, the poet amd lover of Acacla. Others in the cast deserving of men- tion are Eulali¢ Jensen, as Raimun- " ida, Charles . Stevenson, Alice May, Herbert Vance, H. D. MoLellan, Aus<‘; tin Harnison, Robert Harold Stern, Natalie Talmadge, Robert Payton Gibbs, Augustus Balfour and Walter ‘Wilson. “THE MIDNIGHT RIDERS” AT REX THEATER TOMORROW | Scorning the use of a *‘double” in geveral lof the most hair-raising feats! of horsemanship ever seen upon the screen, the beautiful little star, Caro- 1yn Wagner, has set a precedent in| moving picture circles which is| causing considerable excitement among the petted favorites of the| studios. script of “The Midnight Riders which comes to the Rex theater i morrow, called for the leading leulyi to make a wild dash on horseback down the aide of a steep mountain, pursued by several hard-riding mask- ed cowboys, and also. a = dangerous leap from a galloping horse to a fast driven stage coach, Miss Wag- ner surprised her director, Alvin J. Neitz, by refusing to allow the usual “double” to. take her place and ac- complishing the feat herself, in regu- | “Jation dare-devil style. One of the| whegls of the stage coach came off just as she negotiated the jump from her horse, but fortunately nobody was hurnt and the accident only ad- ded to the fame of the plucky Httle| actress whose stunts in :“The Mid-| night Riders” are attracting unusaal | etttention, S OF THE THEATRES Whren she found that the|f “THE EASY ROAD” AT THE ELKO TONIGHT. TUESDAY “The Basy Road,” the new Para- mount. picture starring Thmas Mei-| % ghan, which will be shown at the Elko theater tonight and Tuesday is a screen thniller which will please all of Mir. Meighan’s admirers. Gladys | George and Lila Lee are also in the| cast. “THE LAND OF JAZZ” AT. i REX THEATER THURSDAY Eileen Percy, pretty William Fox star, will be at the Rex theater next | Thursday in her latest Fox -picture, | “The Land of Jazz.” This picture is of the rapid fire comedy type, and is| said' to be the best story in which | Miss Percy has appeared. “The Land of Jazz"” has some mer- ry scenes on an island where a Dr. Carruthers is studying mental dys-| eases. One of his patients believes | himself to be the greatest shimmy | dancer {in the world, and he does| the dance so fascinatingly that he turns the whole place into a wiggling mass of humanity. Miss Percy takes the pant of a rich orphan who ig trying to get Dr. Car- | ruthers to “make up” with her chum. She -does her work so well that the| doctor persuades her to marry him.| It is a merry story written by Barbara LeMarr Deeley. Jules G. Furthman djirected the picture. { —_—————— PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUN~ CIL, CITY OF }!l‘:i\lln.n, MAY 92 16, Regular session’ of the City Council| held in the Council Chambers, City!
