There are some mystery stories which, de- spite the earnest efforts of their au- thors, do mot remain mysterious and the climax can be foretold. But in “Nobody” the ending is so unusual and unexpécted that we feel sute in issuing this challenge to the sleuths _ of Bemidji. The story centers about “Little Mrs. Smith,” played by Miss Car- men, who is spending her honey- moon in Palm Beach, a recent raise in salary enabling - Tom Smith, to show his bride a good time among the “swells.” When he is called to Now York on business he gallantly leaves her behind. John Rossmore, one of the wealthi- est men in‘'the country, meets “Lit- tle (Mrs. Smith,” who accetps an invi- tation t a dinner.patty on his yacht. The affair becomes a strange orgy. Wt first refusing to drink, she finally sips a little wine, She is induced to drink more and more—until she falls across the table unconscious. Taken back to New York by a member of the party, the bride is unable to recognize her husband or her home. She is suffering trom aphasia—complete, loss of .mémory, But. Tom- learns of the escapade In a novel manner. That day three persons start far the Rossmore mansion with revol- vers; Rossmore is found dead in his home an' hour later, creating a stir which rocked New York society to its foundations. But which of the three did it Is not disclosed until the finale; and the Y TONIGHT- Tomorrow Alright MR Tablets stop sick haadaches, relieva’bilious attacks, tono and |: regulato the eliminative organs, J ‘make you feel fino. | “stter Than Pills For Liver Nis” OF THE THEATRES climax.is one of the most effective and startling we have ever witnessed. We will not disclose it because that would &poil a treat for our readers. “HER STURDY OAK” AT 'ELXO THEATER TONIGHT Which does a man admire most, a brisk, practical, self-reliant busi- ness girl or ashy, clinging, romantic baby vamp who doesn’s know beans about anything but sentiment? That'is the..question propounded in Wanda Hawley's latest. picture, “Her Sturdy Oak,” and answered to the satistaction' of at least one, man and one woman in the play. Sylvia Ashton plays a good comedy role as a mannish woman ranch owner who hopelessly loves Walter Hiers, the fat herg‘in ‘‘Her Sturdy Ogk,” which appears at the Elko theatér 'tonight and tomorrow. Miss Hawley is cast ag a delicate clinging vine, and the contrast between the vine and the strong-minded woman: is_exceedingly funny. ‘The two-part comedy ‘‘Where Is My Wife,” featuring Monte Banks, is also in the Elko program tonight. «BROADWAY AND HOME” ~ ! AT ELKO THURSDAY| “Broadway and Home" is both the| H}le and the lecale of Eugene| O’Brien’s Jatest Selznick feature| which will be shown at the Elko, the- atre today and Friday. s Mr. ’Brien is seen in another vi- rile role ,which aifords great iscope| for the display of his talents. He is; excellent both as the sturdy man of the sea and later] as a blase New| Yorker. The story, by John Lynch, has been dirécted by Alan Crosland with more than ordinary skill, - An extra fine supporting cast incuding Elinor Fair, Frank Losee, Eileen Cassidy, and Warren Cook surround thsJ star. “DON'T CALL ME LITTLE GIRL” AT GRAND THEATER TODAY Devotees of the sereen who waxed, enthusiastic over the clever comedy work of Mary Miles Minter in “The! Litile Clown,” will delight in her im- personation of another tom-boy hero- ine in her latest release, Don’t Call} Me Little Girl,” an adaptation of the| Billie Burke stage hit, “Jerry,” in which she will be seen here for to- day and Thursday at the Grand thea- ter. Jerome Patrick, who was the lead- ing man in Realart’s big special pro- duction,: **The Furnace,” and also in “Her First Elopement,” with Wanda Hawley, plays opposite Miss Minter. As a mad-cap tom-boy who insists | on growing up several years before her mother wishes her to, 'Mary Miles Minter is said to have the best role of -her career in Jerry, the in- corrigible heroine of “Don’t Call Me Little Girl.” “Society Dogs,” a two-part comedy featuring Brownie, the wonder dog, completes the program. SEQUEL TO “SMALL TOWN IDOL” COMING T0 GRAND Withyall the famous Mack Sennett comedians who appeared here in “The Small~Town Idol,” the next big comedy, by Mack Sennett, and se- quel to “The Idol,” will be shown | Sunday and Monday at the Grand theater, under the title of “Home Talent.” It is said to contain more laughs than its popular predecessor, “CROWNING TORCHY' AT~ it supplies the basis for a consider: Hines, which ap theater Thursday d Friday. chy becomes a dentist in the picture, but his patients do not linger around transferred to a drug store.
