{ H i E “GOD'S COUNTRY AND THE LAW” AT REX THEATER SUNDAY | James Oliver Curwood, author of «“God’s Country and the Law,” recent- ly made a special trip to Maine to watch the taking of the final scenes in the first of a series of productions | adapted from his works that the Pine | TTree Picturese, Inc., will produce for Arrow Film corporation. The fa- mous author was enthusiastic and on ‘his return to New York is reported to, have expressed himself as very hit satisfied with the splendid manper in which the picture has been produced. Mr. Curwood made the trip all the way from his home in Michi- gan and was the guest of ex-Gov- ernor Carl E. Milliken and Honor- wble Frederick W. Hinckley, the two heads of the Pine Tree Pictures, Inc., of Portland, Me., who are pro- ducing the series for, Arrow. mme- diately upon his arrival in Portland, Mr. Curwood motored out with Mr. Milliken and Mr. Hinckley to the Sebago Lake region where the final scenes 'were being “shot” for the first picture. Mr. Curwood was enthused and delighted with the efforts and possi- bilities of the Maine woods as atmo- sphere for his pictures. They quoted him in part as follows: “I never saw such beautiful coun- try tor the making of motion pic- tures. It is the living glorious syno- nym for the well-known phrase, ‘the great outdoors.” Had you gone north of 52 into the very wildest regions of Alaska, you couldn't have added more color or realistic atmosphere as a background to these stories.” “THE MAN WHO” AT THE v REX LAST TIMES TODAY | Not since John.Drew in his prime | on the legitimate stage has the thea- ter,seen a light comedy performance | given with: a suavity and finesse that distinguished Bert Lytell’s screen appearance last night at the Rex theater in “The Man Who,” an adaptation by Arthur Zellner of of Lloyd Osborn’e Saturday Evening Post 'story. ‘As Beddy Mills, the man who tries to break the shoe trust by starting a barefoot movement in the| social world, Mr, Lytell was a source | of constant joy to the discriminatig. | He obtained his effects with economy | of method and a subtle artistic re-| straint, but the effects stirred he risi bilities of the audience, which greet ed the production with gurgling en- thusiasm. Mr. Lytell made of Beddy| a lovable human being, poignant in| Iis moments of tenderess. | “The Man Who" is a Maxwell Kar- ger production for Metro, and never has Mr. Karger directed a perform- ance that was more fiiely done down to the fines: detail. Such well-known | stars as Lucy Cotton ravishingly| beautiful as the New York urlstm; crat for whom Beddy tries to hecome i Who, and Miss Valli adorable shoc maguates daughter. s in the cast were: Frank War- ren, Clarence J. Elmer, William Ro- selle, Mary Louise Beaton and Frank Strayer. The photography is by Ar- thur Martinelli and the art interi- ors by M. P. Staulecup. “DEVIL DOG DAWSON" AT REX SATURDAY ONLY Circumstantial evidence and its fallibility a means as a means of con- viction in law courts has a hone of coutention_among those erring on the side of justice. These latter prove by material fact and evidence, many times, that a man has spent the best years of his life in jail or died an ignominious death on the gallows and electric chair These convictions and tragedies of the law have proven time after time the “dangers of circumstantial evi- dence. A good example of the tricks that circumstantial evidence will play on a person in bringing him under the ban of suspicion is shown in the latest film feature at the Rex theater on Saturday only. The pleture is en- titled “Devil Dog Dawson,” featuring Jack Hoxie, famous cowboy star. The entire story up to its climax is a strong sermon against the dan- gers of cirsumstantial evidence, “SACRED AND PROFANE LOVE” AT ELKO THEATER TONIGHT Drama so poignant that laughter follows closely upon tears: charac- terizption of the highest auality superb acting and direction that has adequately “'high lighted the vari- ous situations—such is Elsie Fergu- gon's new Paramount picture, “Sa- cred and Profane Love,” which ap- pears at the Elko tonight, also Sat- urday matinee and evening. " NEWS OF.THE THEATRES ; {ten teaches a moral lesson, but. in its | Hammerstein in the first scene of her super-special and cpens at the BElko theater on Sunday. The theme about which the story of “What Is a Wife Worth?"" is writ- teaching never becomesz tiresome or wearisome. Neither creed or heliefs are flaunted, but one feels neverthe- s, the influence of a great thought” which prompted ani.in- spired its inception. The story is enacted by a cast of great ubility in which are included such favorites as Ruth Renick, (',:ls»' son Ferguson, Alex:B. Francis, Cora 1 Drew, Howard Gaye and Virginia Caldwell. K S ALL LAUGH SHOW AT, THE GRAND TOMORROW “One Wild Week,” Bebe Daniels’ iatest release which will be seen here tomorrow and Sunday at the Grand theater, is a screen adaptation of a story written especially for Miss Dan- jels by Francis Harmer. who con- fesses 'that she is sixty-three years young. And it is said to bc one of the “pefipiest,” liveliest ; comedies ‘in which Miss Daniels ‘has ever been seen. - “There’s no such thing as old age unless you admit it.,” says Frances Harmer. “It's all in the viewpoint. 1 feel as young and happy and inter- ested in life as I ever did, so there is no reason why I should not go on writing youthful comedies till T am ninety.” Another of those gloom-chasing comedies that makes dull care a thing of the past comes to the Grand the- ater on the same program when Bus- ter Keaton, the man whose missing smile makes them all smile, appears in his second starring two-reeler as “Convict 13.” As the diminutive wearer of the comical mantle of Fatty Arbuckle, Buster Keaton more than fulflls the mirthwul role made famous by the rotund master of the slapstick. His years of association with Fatty in the hilarious features have made him well known to the thousands of mo- tion picture followers. In addition to his recruits among the fans of shadow land he is remembered by theatergoers as the much-tossed- about member cf the vaudeville team of ““The Three Keatons.,” which for many seasons toured the country. The slender young laugh maker is proving even more of a side-split- er in his own fun features than when he helped Fatty knock about scenery and props. His many awk- word predieaments and his uncannily sober-manner in getting out of them, by twists and contortions that arouse both wonder and amusement, give to his comedies that rarity of unexpect- ed mirth. ELAINE HAMMERSTEIN IN EXCELLENT PRODUCTION When the screen discloses Elaine new Selznick picture, “The Miracle of Manhattan” at the Grand-theater today for the last time, the surround- ings and atmosphere convey the im- pression that one is about to witness a conventional society drama. But it may be stated that there is nothing conventional about this picture and it is a drama of all sorts of socieiy, both high and low. The story, by Bradley King, rap- idly develops into a fast moving tale of romance and adventure and the leading character is transported in a breath taking manner from her lux- urious surroundings into an atmo- sphere of direst poverty. The diversity of scenes and char- acters are worthy of the best exam- ples of O. Henry and the idea of a woman of wealth changing places with a destitute waif in order to ex- perience a thrill, is both unique and original. ‘The thrills are there in abundance and the spectacle of Elaine Hammer- stein surrounded by a collection of gangsters and other tough charac- ters is novel to say the least. The star is called upon tray every emotion that a human being is subject to and her work calls forth the highest admiration for her ability in this most difficult role. “/Whizbang.” a two-part completes the program. to por- comedy APPROVES OUR ROAD SYSTEM Imperial Commissioner of Japanese Government Recommends Our Type for Building. —_ . Prof. T. Takakuwa of Kiriu uniyer- , in Tokyo, and imperlal commis- sioner of the Japanese government, sent abroad to investigate types of “‘Sucred and Profane Love” won fame as a stage play because of the remarkable tensity of its drama. Now Arnold Bennett's great story has ‘been made into a photoplay to the conscquent enrichment of its values. Elgie Ferguson in the star role of Carlotta scores the same decidea suc- cess she achieved in the same part on the speaking stage. The support- ing cast richly deserves the title “all- star.” Conrad Nagel ‘Diaz” paints a perfect picture of the eccentric and dissipated planist. Thomas Holding, Wiinifred :Greenwood, Heldn Dunbar, Raymond Brathwayt, Clarissa Sel- wyn and Howard Gaye are excellent in their parts. “WHAT'S A WIFE WORTH" +AT ELKO THEATER SUNDAY| . In “What's a Wife Worth,” Will- iamChuisty Cabanne, author and di- rector -has made production that ‘will sen_dpeople away from the show feeline Detter for having seen it. Tt is‘a ‘‘human document,” sincere and ‘ymipsthetic, in which the charac- ters are ' not puppets bending to a direetor’s will, in passing thronugh the whirling maclstrom of life, either break or comd forth erect, as their powor tay be. It is a Rabertson-Cole 1 Only Safe Road. Lighways in Europe and the United States, approves ‘ot the type of road- way used in this ccuntry for the im- provement and road building program in Japan. Accldent does very little toward the production of any great result in life, though * sometimes what is called *“a | happy hit” may be made by a bold venture, The common highway of | stendy industry and application is | the only safc road to teavel. — | IS LONGEST PAVED HIGHWAY | Possible for Motorist to Travel From Atlantic to Mississippi on Hard Surface. From the Atlantie coast to the Mis- | " sissippl river on paved roads! This may sound like a motorist’s dream, ; but It will be actually possible to make | such a trip this fall. The last stretch | of the national pike in Minols will be completed then, Never before hasy such a long paved road been possible i great benuty. EMBER 9, 1921 FRIDAY. EVENING, SEPT! QUESTION OF TREE PLANTING Problem ‘Is Worthy of Very Much | More Consideration Than Is Us- ually Given It. — | What ind of ‘tree should one plant beside one's, honle? asks Good House- | keeping. Obviously it should be a fast | grower. ‘Preferably it should give-a shade that is lofty and not too dense. A pmduc-‘ tive tree will answer as well as one that is merely ornamental. If a grafted ! tree is planted rather than a seedling | it will produce In a very few years. Nut trees are both ornamental and | productive, The black walnut and the pecan seem to be well suited fo this | sort of planting. Why not try one or the other, or possibly both, one on each side of the house? The black walnut is a rapid grower, reaches large size, and has foliage of A mature tree will pro- duce a great quantity of nuts. The | pecan Is also large and beautiful, as well as long-lived. Among the most beautiful and stately of the trees at Mount Vernon are pecan trees planted by George Washington and still in ex- cellent condition. Commonly one thinks of the pecan as a tree for warm latitudes only. Both it and the Eng- lish walnut will thrive much farther north than is commonly supposed. For planting near the house, then, the black walnut, the pecan or a good shagbark tree would be an excellent choice. The foliage of the walnut is always beautiful and in the fall the leaves of both the hickory and the pe- can are symphonies in brown. ECONOMIC VALUE OF PAINT Great Mistake to Imagine That the \ Only Use of the Brush ls for Ornamentation. Observation in - most localities leaves the impression that too many buildings suffer from lack of painting, A great many property owners seem to assume that the, use of the paint brush is the special prerogative of the rich, that it -holds no advantage for the average man, if he can forego the plensure of having ornamentation about. But painting is not chiefly val- uable for ornamentation, It s chiefly valuable for sanitation, greater life, better service. While paint does, of course, serve to improve the appearance of prop- erty, it is far more useful for protec- tion than for ornament. A small amount: of money and work expended in keeping a valuable piece of ma- chinery puinted will greatly add to its length of life. The same may be said of buildings. Another useful object which is ac- complished by painting i3 the im- proved sanitary condition of buildings and outhouses. The cost of such work (painting) is small, the necessary equipment is not expensive, and with proper care this will last a lifetime. Beacons for Motorists. The flashing beacon used on the high seas by the leading nations of the world Is now to be used as a high- way guide for motorists. Like the beacon at sea, the city traf- fic is an unwatched !ight, automatic in operation for months at a time. Fuel is supplied by an acetylene gas accu- mulator In the$base. To these beacons and highway light- houses is applied the national system | of colors approved by the committee of standards of the American Asso- clation of State Highway Officials, and by other national organizations and many cities in the United States. Red is used for first degree danger, yel- low for second degree, and ‘green for | traffic danger only. | Two hundred citles are reported to | have standardized on this national | color signaling, which is that of the| railroad systems, and almost as many have made installation of the flash- ing light traffic beacon, as an effective warning for drivers who are partially, or wholly, color blind, and those who | find 1t hard to distinguish the ordinary signal from other city Vights. The flashing beacon is the invention of Dr. Gustav Dalen, winner of the Nobel prize in physies in 1912.—From The Motor. In Hard Lines “I could not work at all and had to| take to my bed with a high fever due to intestinal indigestion, gasses in my stomach and pain in my right side. I had spent my last cent for doctors and medicine, which gave me no relief. I was in despair. A lodge brother gave me a bottle of Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy, and the first dose | relieved me. Thanks to this medicine I am nowi in the best of health.” It is a simple, Harmless preparation that removes the inflammation ,which causes prac- tically all stomacHt, liver and intesti- nal ailments, including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money re- funded. - At All Druggists.—Adv.
