REALISTIC SLUM SCENES | Land of Hope,” Alice Brady’s L. ! picture. ! some of the scenes of “Humoresque “was a contributory factor in the suc- . fully romantic, set principally in a SHOWN AT GRAND TONIGHT That elusive thing, the spirit of he slums, was caught by the camera in:the filming of one scene in 1‘ ’trhi ates Just as the atmosphere of » cess of that screen drama, so it will prove to be no less important in Alice Brady’s present vehicle. : In the sweat-shop scene, Fannie and Frederick Hattan, two of the three authors who wrote “The Land ‘of Hope,” and E. H, Griffith, the di- rector, created a picture of excep- tional power. It is a fur shop of the lowest or- der, a bleak soot- and smoke-stained den where gaunt and dreary men and women slave over bits of pelts cut from cast-off garments or filched from barrels. Bleeker Street and lower Third Avenue in New York City ,knyw just such places. It is here that Alice Brady as Marya, and Jason Robards as Sascha, the young immigrants, are brought by their friends. “The Land of Hope” will be shown for the last time at the Grand tonight. Pathe Weekly News and a Squb Pollard Comedy entitled “Teaching Teacher,” are included in the pro- gram, | — “THE ROWDY” AT ELKO THEATER ‘TONIGHT ONLY In “The Rowdy,” starring Gladys ‘Walton, to be shown at the Elko the- ater tonight only, the famous little star will play the role of a lovable harum-scarum waif, as wiliful as the sea breezes blowing her, but with a tender heart for every one’s sorrow and a game courage for every un- pleasant encounter that endears her to the fisherfolk of the story and will even further, endear her to play: goers. v It is a refreshing picture, color- fishing village on the Pacific, but with sufficient contrast shown in the home life of two aristocratic old ladies and their environment to make the stur- dy men of the sea stand out in strong relief. The little rowdy, loving her humble surroundings is torn between them and a blood-call to relatives. Pulled from both directions—duty and de- sire—she unwillingly attempts to be- come a lady until she finds it is quite unnecessary, since the relatives, who have planned to- surprise her, have the surprise turn into a boomerang * that reacts on themselves. Supporting Miss Walton capably are Jack Mower, Anna Hernandez, Frances Hatton, Alida B. Jones, Coutess DeCella, Rex Roselli, C. B. Murphy and Bert Roach. “BLACK SHEEP” AT THE REX TODAY AND TOMORROW Few people realize the bloody war- fare that was waged on the western| plains during the late nineties be- tween the cattlemen and the sheep-! herders. It was a real war, one that resulted in real bloodshed, and many lives were lost befare the two fac- tions settled their difficulties. This warfare furnishes the theme for one of the most thrilling dramas of the west that the Rex theatre has ever shown, “Black Sheep,” Neal Hart’s newest starring venicle. The | picture has been adapted from “Baa,| Baa, Black Sheep,” which appeared in a recent issue of “Short Stories Magazine” by its author, W. C. Tut- tle, who has won considerable fame as a writer of western fiction. “Black Sheep,” by the way, is the first Hurst-Chaudet production issued by the Pinnacle corporation and lives up to all the advance notices. Paul Hurst and Louis Chaudet have made a name for themselves in the motion picture. world and in securing this| pair to supervise its pictures, Pin- nacle productions has scored a ten strike. “Black Sheep” will run at the Rex| theatre for two days, commencing today. X rare treat is in store for the pat- rons of the Rex today and tomorrow.

Noble and Brooks offer a comedy act entitled “Fun_at the Box Office.” centric nonsense over an argument arising over the purchase of theatre tickets is a good cure for the blues, and they introduce several melodious songs. Runyan and Trent are a pair of harmony singers who present the latest in song hits. The Three Mar- velous' Mells, comedians all, in com- edy. ground acrobatics — and classic hysical culture poses that are a treat to the eye. Gladys © Walton in ‘“Desperate Youth,” a picturization of “A Ken- tucky Cinderella,” by F. Hopkingon Smith, is the picture program which precedes the vaudeville both in the afternoon at 2:30 and at the evening shows which begin at 7:15 and at 9 on Thursday only.

Mary Malloy, the young girl heroine, is a sort of little modern Cinderella, who works in a hotel. Her sole valuable is an old silver goblet, left her by her dying mother. Whenever she is in ur- gent need of extra funds she pawns her treasure, and it has helped out so many times that she calls it her “magic cup.” Of course it brings her romance and love in the end.

Erdahl. After dinner, several auto loads drove over to inspect the potato warehouse, and upon their re- turn the usual business meeting of the club was held. Most of the men felt their call was in the potato field— consequently the attendance at the meeting was small and the program short. D. C.

Forty-three disasters, resulting In the death in the United States of 850 persons. and the injury of 2,500 called for emergency relief mensures and thie expenditure of $1,871,000 by the American Red iCross during:the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, says an announcement based upon the forth- coming annual report of the Red Cross. These dlsnsters‘;cmmvd property dam- age estimated ‘at '$30,000,000, affected sixty-seven communities and rendered 65,000 families homeless. The year's disasters were of vary- ing types, including several which pre- viously had never been thought of as falling _within that tion. The’| Red Cross fu relief in seventeen fires of magnitude, five floods, ‘seven «tornadoes or cy- clones, one devastating storm, three explosions, Inelnding the one In Wall street; one building: accident, two typhold epidemi¢s, the most serious be- ing that at Salem, Ohio, which at- fected 9 per cent of the population; one smallpox epidemie, in the republic of Haiti; one train wreck, the race riot at Tulsa, Okla.; the famide fn China, emergency relief in famine among the Indians of Alaska, the grasshopper plague in North Dakota and an earth- quake in Italy. Pueblo Most Serious By far the most severe of the dis- asters in the United States during the period covered by 'the Red Cross re- port was the Pueblo flood early In June, 1921. The rehablilitation prob- lem confronting the Red Cross In, Pueblo was one of the most difficult in recent years. Whey the first news of the horror was flashed throughout the country, the American Red Cross National Headquarters responded with a grant of $105,000 for relief work. Governor Shoup of Colorado, appre- ciating the long and successful experi- ence of the Red Cross in organizing disaster relief work, placed the en- tire respousibility for the administra- tion of relief in Its hands. In response. to appeals from Pres!- dent Harding, Governor Shoup and other governofs of western states and through loeal chapters of the Red Cross and other community organiza- tions, public-spirited citizens brought the total contributed for Pueblo’s re- habilitation to:more. than $325,000. The terrible havoe wrought-by the flood s Is a matter of record. More than 2,300 homes were affected and 7,351 persons were left howmeless. Estimates of §500,000, as an absolute minimum for rehabilitation were.made by Red Cross officlals in charge of the relief work. Fast Work jn Wall Street The Wall street explosion was nota- ble in that relief -workers' of the Red Cross: were on the scene twenty min- utes after the disaster occurred. The race riot at Tulsa also was: unique in disaster relief unnals in that outside of a small emergency relief fund con- tributed by the Red Cross, ‘the only relief measures outside the .city con- sisted of the service of social work- ers, nurses and a trained executive whose object was to assist local forces in directing thelr own efforts. In decided contrast with the pre- vious year, only one tornado assumed the proportions of a major disaster. This occurred on April 15, in the bor- der sections of Texas and Arkansas with the city of Texarkana as the center. The significant feature of this disaster rellef work was the fact that it covered so much rural territory as to make necessary a large number of rellef workers.

Up to the time I began taking Tanlac, I suf- fered for something over two years with a very bad form of stomach trou- ble. “My appetite was so poor I could scarcely eata thing.
