{ il | } “THE HOME STRETCH” A ROMANCE OF THE TURF Members of the sporting fraterrity who enthuse at the sight of a thor- oughbred racehorse and who, in a pe- riod mow almost gone, have thrilled @t the hair-raising finish of a grea metropoflitan handicap, will revel in the many spectacular racing scenes which feature “The Home Stretch,” Douglas MacLean's latest Paramount picture which will be presented at the Grand :theater for the last time tonight. The tense moments of waiting for the start, and the murmuring shout of “They're off!”; stirirng finish and feverish excitement of the betting ring will reawaken glorious memories of the days when Belmont Park, La- tonjia, Saratoga Springs, Ascot and EBmeryville were the worshipping shrines of the disciples of chance. The horses which take pare in the racing scenes, and which are seen at close quarters lin the track paddock prior to the races, constitute the pick of ithe Amierican turf. were stabled at Tia Juana, Lower ‘California, during the winter season, and all were pedigreed breds. *Honeyblossom,” hero ‘of the’story was secured from |one of (Miss Talmadge the most famous stock farm fn the| west, and has many times flashed E NEWS OF THE THEATRES nbebat o e hoebat ot kbl il o s bkl b All of them | lin this capacity that Jock again en- counters his former rival in' love--- who now is a fugitive defaulted and | wife deserter. The pursuit by Jock, as gn officer, | and their joint pursuit of a fair daughter of the great northwest pro- vide ample opportunfity for intense situatfon and fine acting: The re- sult is declared to be an eminently satisfying performance of a drama distinctly different from any in which this Fox star heretofore has appear- ed. The photography, especially in the scenes of the great northwest, is reported to be exceedingly striking and beautiful. “WEDDING BELLS” AT THE REX THEATER NEXT TUESDAY Constance Talmadge’s. latest film production, “‘Wedding Bells” pictur- ized from the very successful stage ‘play of the.same title, will be the attraction at the Rex theater, start- ing Tuesday.

Her specln(ursi were keenly thrilled. ! The story was filmed at Universal City by Stuart Paton. It is based upon “Falge Colors,” Edwina Levin's novel and the screen adaptation by Lucien Hubbard and Doris Schroeder. Play(ing a dual role, that of mother and daughter, Miss Dean interprets| the parts with such sincerity that| many doubted that omne individual| could o completely ,assume such| widely opposite characteristics. | Laura IFiglan, the dominant figure| in the story, is the reigning beauty on the European stage. She is about | to sail for New York to star on Broad-| way when a party, more dissolute| than others which have preceded it.| leaves ller a wreched, dissipated shad ows of her former self. Stripped of | money, her nerves shatered by drugs, | a wanderer on the Limehouse street, | she realizes that she must in some| way get to America and try to re-| sume ‘her place of power in the lhe-i ater. She arrives in New York for the opening of the performance and there on the stage she sees a girl who is the counterpart of what she was before sin seared her soul. The girl| is her daughter, though neither knows the other. Then follows a cli- max that fout explosive thrill-power has never been equalled on the screen. As the program Vs in nine reels, the first show will start at 7:15 this; week Sunday and Monday. @ “GET YOUR MAN” AT THE REX THEATER TODAY Buck Jones will come to the Rex theater today (“In Get You an,"” hig latest veblicle made for Willlam Tox and said to be a typical Fox en- tertaynaent. The story is by Alan Sullivan. It is an intensely dramatic tale. It opens with Jock MacTier (Buck) Jones) as the foreman of a Seotch! mine.

This occasion arises when Pinkie, returning from his morning walk with [Rosalie’s maid, spies a neat pat- ent leather siipper just outside the door of the room occupied by Regin- ald Cxtdr, a ‘wealthy New JYork young man. Carter catches a fleet- ing glimpse of Pinkie as the poodle | scrambles off 'with the shoe between Down the corridor and ie ng his teeth. into the room occypied by R runs Pinkie, with Reginald follow: him.

Throughout eix glorious reels of en- trancing mountain scenery the action moves with skymolile rapidity in the development of a plot laid among mountaineers whose sands of life run calmly among the balsam of the pines, the babble of the brooks and the tragedies in the existence of the| furry and feathery the canyons and peaks. The story is that of a deep and un- controllable love, of brave men and fair women, and shows fintimately the lives and habits of the denizens of the foresé. Wholesome thrills that will cause Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls to sit up and take notice are sprinkled generously through every reel, while the acting of the wild wolf-dog that is reformed into a gen- uine hero is!so realistic as to give to the screen performance of man's faithful friend a new place in drama- tic cast. There is a reep moral lesson in.the| story, which, while not a preachment still shows the efficacy of prayer, the great reward for undying faith, and the glorious compensation for genu- ine love. “The Call from the Wild" 'is a ctory of human jnterest, heart throbs and thrills---a tale of the great out- dcors that carries an appeal to every lover of\nature, to every soul that revels in the drama of the heart. EX-SERVICE TO BE' FAVORED BY GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS Washington, Aug. -Equal status for all former servic: men employed by the government isi being sought by Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., assist- ant secretary of the navy, in con-| junction with John W. Weeks, secre- tary of war. The matter has been brought to a head through the neces- sity for reduction in forces in all de- partments of the government.’ Some departments have given no prefer- ence to men who have seen service; others have made provisions to a certain extent. The war and navy de- partments have set forthr definite rules to govern fthe case of) former soldiers, saildrs ‘or marines. ‘Th plan followed by them is that a fo er service man whose rating is above a certain grade shall be entitled to preference. Conferences are to be held ‘in the near future between the cabinet heads to determine upon some uniform poliey. “The Call from The Wild” REX SUNDAY - e Remarkable Physical Strength.
