“APPEARANCES” AT ELKO g TONIGHT AND THURSDAY When a photoplay conveys a sound moral to film audiences, it is worthy of commendation. Such a picture is “‘Appearances,” a superb Paramount production made in England and in- terpreted by highly capable players, which will be shown at the Elko theater “tonight and tomorrow. The story deals with the struggles of an ambitious but extravagant young husband who Hves far beyond his means, in order to keep up appear- ances. This part is played by David Powell, a well known American ac- ‘tor and playing opposite him is Mary (Glynne, a charming actvess who scored in *“The Call of Youth.” The support gengrally is excellent. An added attraction at the Elko tonight and Thursday will be a two- part Century Comedy entitled ,,Wood Simps.” “SACRED AND PROFANE LOVE” AT ELKO THEATER FRIDAY Realism at its best is found in “Sacred and Hrofane Love,” Elsie Ferguson’s new Paramount picture at the Elko theater next Friday and Saturday. For the Parisian scenes a complete French street was built, duplicating in every respect a score . of resorts in the Latin quarter. ‘‘Sa- cred and Profane Love” was adnpteg.l by Jula Crawford lvers from the famous Arnold Bennett novel and play. Elsle Ferguson has the star role. “MID-CHANNEL” AT THE i REX LAST TIMES TODAY | We have been longing for a photo-| play of actual, intimate human strug-| gle, and at length it has come—and | in a form that exceeds our fondest| expectations. The photodrama is Sir Arthur Wing Pinero’s greatest drama of domestic life aptly called “Mid- Channel”’—one of the most brilliant stage successes of Ethel Barrymore, and unquestionably the greatest tri- umph of Ciara Kimball Young since her first screen appearance. “Mid-Channel,” a throbbing photo- drama of the temptations and follies ot married life, is so truthful to fact that no mature person will leave this smowerful picture withjut carrying away . clinging memories of life's lesson. It fairly burns with intensity and soul-stirring experience such as every mortal knows it—it does not dodge the truth—it unfolds human weakness so dramatically as to strike a sympathetic chord in every heart. No better title could describe the message of this photoplay than “Mid- Channel”—for the most crucial pe- rfod of married life is compared to the ireacherous waters of the English Channel, in the center of which is the famous Ridge—a shoal that lurks ominously to engulf the Rinpcent traveler. Once this stormy center ul’f domestic life is passed, all is smooth sailing, but not before. There is no escape—every married couple, at a certaim stage must pass through this critical point some survive and many flounder. Due praise for this photodramatic masterpiece wiuld not be complete without mention of the superb scenie effects and multi-colored surrounding that is as luxurious as it has been costly, and which heightens the mag- nificence of the entire picture. It can ibe safely predicted that the spectator will rarely witness as effective a pho- |- toplay as “Mid<Channel” for many a day, . | “DINING ROOM. KITCHEN AND SINK.” REX TODAY *Dining Room, Kitchen and 8ink,” latest two-reel Christie comedy at iRex theater today is literally a house- ful of trouble. It deals with a strand- ed burlesque show, a pair of crooks and a rich aunt and uncle all in the same house, and the continued mix- ups that follow are said to make it} one of the funniest farces that the screen ‘has seen. ‘The picture shows the versatility of the Christie irganization in makng each of its pictures distinctly differ- ent and in rvelying in all of them on a real story nterpreted by players carefully selected for their parts and not on some star which the story is built around. WFay Tincher and Eddie Barry are both featuyed, @n “Dining Room, Kitchen and sink,” while the whole group if Follies Girls add beauty end action to this fast-moving production, The cast is an unusually large one. “THE MAN WHO"” AT REX THURSDAY AND FRIDAY “The Man Who,” by Lloyd Osborne which will be remembered by Satur- day Evening Post readers as one of the most delightful storfes of many seasons, has been made into a motion pleture by Arthur Zellner and will the presented at the Rex theater for two days beginning Thursday. It is a Maxwell Karger production for Metro, starring Bert Lytell in the role of Beddy Mills, ‘the New York bank clerk who tried to become the Man Who Broke the Shoe Trust. Beddy's ambition to become a Man Who is inspired by his desire to win the favor of Helen Jessop, daughter of an old New York family, who has no use for men’ who were just ‘‘nice and ordinary.” So 'Beddy decides to g0 ‘about faultlessly dressed, except that - his feet ‘are always bare as a protegt. against the high' price of shoes. Gaing barefoot into exclusive social ‘eircles produces amusing com- plications:-and inspires a national barefoot campaign. Bert Lytell’'s supporting company includes Lucy Cotton, as Helen Jes- sop; Virginia Valli, as. Mary Turner, the Shoe 'magnate’s danghter who loves Beddy in spite of everything; Frank Currier. as St. John Jessop, the old New York aristocrat: and Tammany Poung, Fred Warren, Clar- ence J.

STORY OF DAYS OF THE DONS SHOWN AT GRAND THEATER Carmel Myers has a thrill for every temperament at the Grand theater tonight only where she..plays her local engagement ‘in ‘‘The Kiss,” her most recent Universal' photodrama from the fascinatiing romance of old California by Johnston McCully. The story was originally printed in novel form as’ ‘/Litsle” Erolinda,” Credit for the screén version is given to George Pyper and the scenario was given into -the hahds of Jack Conway to direct. The director has taken pains to establish the romantic.atmosphere of old Californis and. the first few se- quences are devoteéd to that end. One sees the languorous hacienda where dwells the daughter of the admin- istrator of the rancho; then a bril- liant fiesta to celebrate the return of the old man’'s son from his con- quest afield and then the thrilling drama which develops when the gallant young caballero falls to love below his station and the girl leaps to meet it—above hers. For those who love beautiful wom- en, they are to be seen in “The Kiss” in profusion; but none of them is quite as bewitchingly lovely as Miss Myers, although Jean Acker, playing the second feminine lead. comes peri- lously near. For those who like to see a dashing big caballero in action there is Will- fam 1. Lawrence in the principal macrculine role, and he is in fast and the instant of his appearance on the screen. “His Youthful Fancy,” a Sennett comedy with Charles Murray and Marie Prevost’ complete the program. ELAINE HAMMERSTEIN AT GRAND TOMORROW Winsome Elaine Hammerstein will appear in what is said to be the most dramatic role of her entire career, when her latest Selznick picture, ‘“The Miracle of Manhattan” is shown at the Grand theater tomorrow and Friday. Distinetly novel is the construe- tion of plot of Bradley King’s photo- piay and Selznick producing forces under direction of George Archain- baud have exerted every effort to make this picture one of outstanding interest. ‘ The story in brief relates to a strange wager made between Evelyn Whitney, and -Mary Malone a desti- tute girl who is on the point of star- vation. The woman of wealth claims that she can start from exactly the position the other woman is in and maintain herself for two months. The results of this strange pact are most unexpected and the young woman in a short time finds herself in a most dangerous position in which her life iteelf is in danger. The outcomé of it all is shown in a series of very dra- matic scenes and the final climax i EVIDENTLY HER LUCKY DAY Girl at First Thought Pickpocket Was Busy, but It Turned Out Just the Other Way. The business girl, straphanging In the subway at the rush hour, felt a gentle tug ori the pocket of her rain- coat. Far fromi being disturbed, she grinned sardonically, knowing: that Just exactly one dime rested in the tieular pocket. She was so hemmed In by fellow travelers that It was difficult to discover If her suspiclons were faets until she emerged with the struggling mass at her station, Then she dipped her hand lightly Into the pocket only to find the ancient purse Intact and In its accustomed spot. But that wasn’t the only thing in the pocket, Extracting a hard sub- stance gingerly, she stared in a daze at a roll of bills protected by an elas- tle band. Exhilarated and excited over this reverse state of affairs, she counted her ill-gotten galns and be- hold, she was the richer by 30 per- fectly good dollars. Whether a fellow passenger haq droppg«l them by mis- take Into her pocket instead of his own or a thief placed them there for fear of detection affords a wide field of speculation, - Anyhow the business girl has turned the money into her college campaign fund and hopes it will not be refused as tainted money. —New York Sun. More Light.on the Adam Family. Referring to the recent stutement of a sclentist that the Garden of Eden was located in Ohlo, we are reminded of the Scotch lafrd who told a famous singer that Gaelle was the language of Adam. The singer afterward spoke | Inughingly of the clalm to another Scotchman, who remarked in all se- riousness, “The laird was quite richt. Dinna y¢ ken that the Garden of Eden was In Scotland?

CAN'T PRAISE IT | ENGUGH, SHE SAYS “I've Been Thankful a Thou- sand Times I Believed in Trying It,” States Miss Finn gs. “Tanlac is certainly the proper medicine for building up a run-down system and making one healthy and Strong again,” ‘said Miss Belle Finn, 24 Washington Ave., So., Minneapo- lis, Minn. “Before I began taking Tanlac my stomach was so sour and upset that it kept.me feeling bad all the time and I couldn’t enjoy my food at all, not even the things I am especially fond of. My appetite kept getting worse until I just had to force my- self to eat a little something in or- der to keep going, and I was con- gtantly nauseated and always suffer- ing from indigestion. 1 was so weak and run-down that the lightest work was a big effort for me and I felt like I would have given anything on earth for something to build me up. “I have been thankful a thousand times that I believed in Tanlac enough to try it, for five bottles of the medicine have put me in the very best of health. I have a wonderful appetite, relish my meals and never fee} a sign of indigestion or stomach trouble. * That tired-out feeling has entirely disappeared and my work is easy for me now. I think Tanlac is the grandest .medicine in the workd and just can’t praise it enough.” Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the City. Drug Store, and leading drug- gists everywhere.—Advertisement.
