OF THE THEATRES TRIP TO PARADISE” AT THE GRAND TONIGHT oney Island and Heaven, sacred profane love, the noisy happiness ‘amusement. seekers and the death- stillness of hospital wards, life and th—these are some of the con- ts-that provided thrill:upon thrill 0 the audience that with bated breath I'see “A Trip to Paradise,” at its first showing tonight at the Grand ater where it begins a run of two “ag the feature attraction of @& 1l-balanced bill. v Bert Lytell, than whom there s dly & more brilliant actor on the g:::’n, gortriyed with conyiction and ! e leading role of ‘“Curley” lynn, the Coney Island “barker,” whose occupation consists in steering ?eople in his concession booth called A to Paradise,” and who later takes the celestial trip himself, but fo the real Paradise. "It is a picture that will well re- pay the seeing, one not easily for- gotten, for work of this kind on the sereen comes once in a blue moon. It is “different” both in the splendid ncfingl-the remarkable plot, and the scenic investiture. The production, by Maxwell Kar- ger, is a’triumph of directorial skill, ‘- and June Mathis, who wrote the scen- arios of “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” and “The Conquering Power,” the Rex Ingram productions .. for Metro, and who is responsible for _ the scenario of “A Trip to Paradise,” again proves hey superb power for clear and convincing continuity in the new production. “Zillah,” the girl with the X-ray :_yes, will appear as a special attrac- ion. . “ZILLAH” HELD OVER A DAY . AT GRAND—APPEARS TONIGHT “Zillah,” the girl with the X-ray eyes, who created a sensation with her demonstration of mental tele- pathyy; and thought transference, at the Grand theater last night, has been persuaded to remain in Bemidji for one more day, and will apoear as a special added attraction ac the Grand theater at both shows tonight only at the Grand theater. Blindfolded and nlone on the slage, this remarkable girl gives a d. mon- stration of psychic phenomena that borders on the uncanny. She ecalls the names and gives the addresses of those present, describes articles even to the numbers on currency of differ- ent denominations, answers ques- tions and altogether gives an exhi- bition that is not only mystifying to a large degree, but wholly entertain- ing. She will be seen for the last| time tonight, with the picture, “A| Trip to Paradise,” featuring Bert Lytell. 2 “TOO MUCH SPEED” AT ELKO AGAIN TONIGHT . Wallace Reid’s latest Paramount picture, “Too Much Speed,” has scored heavily at the Elko theater whgre it is on view tonight, last times. It is one of the most delightful of Reid’s automobile race pictures and t!le leading characters of the produc- tion, having been introduced in “What’s Your Hurry?” are familiar to screen audiences. Dusty Rhoades, Virginia MacMur- ‘ran and Pat MacMurran, the three principal characters in “What's Your }lurry"!" the fine automobile story in which Wallace Reid was starred some months ago, are revived in Mr. Reid’s newest picture, “Too Much Speed.” Byron Morgan wrote the story and Flrl‘ank Ursond d]irected. Mr. Reid +is well supporte: y Agnes Ayres, Theodore Roberts, Jack gRichartfson: Lucien Littlefield, Guy Oilver, Henry Johpscn, Jack Herbert and other fa- vorites of the Paramount screen. /#SHAM” AT THE ELKO SATURDAY AND SUNDAY That Paramount pictures are liv- ing up to their clogan, “clever stars in good stories with perfect suppor ing casts,” is proved by ‘“‘Sham,” an FEthel Clayton stellar vehicle which pens at the Elko theater for two days beginning tomorrow, Saturday. Rounding out this excellent film is’ a really remarkable cast. Walter ‘Hiers is comical as usual as a fat, wealthy—and disappointed lover. . Theodore Roberts is a bluff and hear- "ty old millionaire while Sylvia Ashton “and Helen Dunbar who have appeared in countless “mother” roles are splen- did as'selfish aunts of the debt-ridden Katherine. Other players of equal .merit include Carrie Clark Ward, Arthur Carewe, Clyde Fillmore and /Eunice Burnham. From start to fin- jsh “Sham” is well rounded and com- . plete to the most inconspicuous “ex- tra.”.It is an entertainment of ex- ‘ceptional merit. ‘GO GET HIM” SHOWING AT THE REX SATURDAY = o Get Him,” the second William 3 | “CeRB{ll’ *Fairbanks feature produced ‘by the Western Feature Productions, 3 is one of those big- human stor- i es. There is the great character of he Northwest Mounted Police, a man travelling alone, trailing the outlaw. Chis only, confidante his horse. The gtory of a strong man torn by the el- ements of love versus duty. There is 'the softening beauty of the character d woman fighting for her are a few Go and Get ‘Him” will be welcomed by lovers of pictures of the great Northwest. “RUSTLERS OF THE NIGHT” AT REX THEATER TODAY The lengths to which a westerner 1l go in his desire to be revenged for a wrong that has been done him specially if the honor of a woman involved—is graphically portrayed' iR U in ‘the latest Al Hart drama, “Rus- tlers of the Night.” This film which will be the featured attraction at the ‘Rex theater tomorrow has cre- ated a great deal of comment in: the motion picture indust:y, for the rea- son that it is onc ¢f the few film- stories ever produced in which evin the most sophisi' 1 audience unable to predict the outcome of the drama until che very finish of the picture. ¥ “"More thrills in this five-reeler than will be found in the average 15-epi- sode serial,’” was the enthusiastic comment of one press critic after seeing the production at its initial private showing in New York city. And he added: “It had us sitting on the edge of our seat from start to finish, and try as we might, we were unable to figure out the iinish until the concluding scenes were flashed on the screen.” WARNS AGAINST THE “UGLIES” Architect Gives Wise Advice to Those | Contemplating the Establish- ment of & Home. The architects have passed through six lean years. Had it not been for the “uglies” that were erected they virtually would have been idle. Re- modeling “uglies” into beautiful homes is about all the architects have done. However, if these houses had been designed and constructed right at first the remodeling would not have been necessary. “Uglies,” like the billboards, are doomed to destruction; popular senti- ment demands that they be destroyed. That the home must be beautiful, both interior and exterlor, is readily recognized by every mother, as she realizes that it is the most essential element of the home and it is that which causes children to love and cherish it. That’it should be furnished beautifully and should have good plctures goes without mention. "Well designed furniture may be handed down "through generations, and well planned and designed homes increase in value with age. We have houses in this country, built twe hundred years ago, that are used today as samples of good work and architects look to them for precedent, Young people who are about to build should consider it with great care, as building is a serious thing. They should Invest in good magazines | recognized for their good taste, study thoroughly every article, read also every criticism of these articles and then invest only in expensive things— In fact, those things they think they cannot afford to purchase; then buy one article instead ‘of -six that they think they need. In this way they will have established a nucleus from which they cannot idepart. Moreover they will never desire a change, be- cause beautiful things remain beautl- ful. To those contemplating the estab- lishment of a home I.would say select your lot with a view to the future de- velopment of it. Do not ihvest in cheap additions that have been laid out on lines of the least resistance. Select a place surrounded by romantic conditions. Select a large lot, build a small house, add to it as you pro- gress and be sure that the lot haw® sufficient restrictions to assure you that your investment will not de- preclate and that your neighbors are ‘or good report and intelligent.—Selby ‘H. Kurfiss in Kansas City Times. KANSAS CITY SHOWS WISDOM Determined to Protect Its Pleasanter Streets From Billboards and “Uglies” in General. Among the things which critics ot the Anti-Main street school leave out of fcequnt, in the supposedly objective statément of thelr case, are the many healthy little movements in towns of the Gopher prairle section toward mak- ing two blades of grass grow, so to speak, where none grew before. Do you know the things for which Milwau- kee ought to be famous besides its onc- time beer? They are worth looking up. Do you know Kansas City? It Is one of the pleasantest places to live in in these benighted “states,” and it is so because Its citizens have discovered that beauty pays. Probably beauty, like honesty, is na- bler when achieved for its own sake, yet it is something to achleve beauty even by the commerclal route. And the parks, good streets, agreeable rather than, ugly buildings, actually increase general real estate values. They have coined a useful word in Kansas City—"uglies.” They have an ordinance halfway through the city council-—perhaps by this time it Is all the way through—protecting the pleas- anter streets from billhoards, gasoline- filling stations and “uglies” in general. How this particular ordinance fares |s not particularly important, The impor- tant thing is that the public knows what are “uglies” and is determined to do away with them.—Leslie's, I1s the Earth Drying Up?

FIND SECRET OF FINE TONE Ohio Man Discovers That Yolks of | * Eggs and Beeswax Were Used in Filler of Violins. N. C. Holcomb, musical instrument maker of Norwalk, 0., believes he is making rapid advances in his efforts to discover the secret of the fine mel- low tone of the Cremona violins, Musicians for years have wondered why many old Italian violins appar- ently made in a slipshod manner | should produce such clear sounds, says Cleveland Plain Dealer. Holcomb believes that the lost se- cret had to do mainly with the filler ana@ varnish. Not long ago he was in- formed that a careful chemical anal- ysis had been made of some .of the finish on an old violin owned in Bat- tle Creek, Mich, that before ‘the varnish was applied the wood was filled evidently with the volk of an egg, and beeswax. Profit- ing 'by this information, Holcomb rubbed these substances into the raw waood of a new violin before applying the varnish. The results were sur- prising, the instrument producing a tone that Is usually associated with age. Lavender, Sweet Lavender. The cry of “Sweet Lavender” is once more heard in the London streets, as 1t has been since the Huguenots first grew the sweet and cleanly plant on Lavender hill, near where the Clapham Junction’ railway station now stands. Tt carries a very fragrance across the centurles, recalling the days when Lon- don was a little town, and even Charing Cross was a somewhat dis- tant village. As the bricks and mortar spread, the lavender retreated up the valley of tie’ little River Wandle. Mitcham lavender became famous, and the visitors to Mitcham fair wandered through the fields to see the lavender reaped with a sickle and tied up into little bunches. Now.Mitcham is threat- ened and the last grower is retiring from business.
