SO ER T DT T - NEWS OF THE THEATRES 1] NI JAUDEVILLE TONIGHT ONLY AT THE GRAND THEATER Showing tonight only at 7:15 and at 9, the regular Thursday four-act vaudev:lle show together with a five- the boy with the hats, va yudeville performance with a re- rkable exhibition of what can be %e with a few hats, rubber balls, and other objects. = Johnson and Burke present an_episode from the ~ life of married folks,:full of laughs . %rom start to finish, and played by a capable pair who portray their parts to the minute. ‘Morris and Block in a comedy|; singing, talking and dancing act, are two of the best comedians now per- fiormmg before the ‘American pub- c. They call their act “Logical Non- sense,” and are sure to cause a lot of joy and laughter. The Crouch Richards Trio, in “A Musical Festival,” offer a number of instrumental solos, duets and trius, of both classical and popular music. © Experts all w:th the banjo, cella, and costumed in the early colonial style, this act may be looked fol- ward to as worth while. = “The Big Adventure” is the tltle of the new and up-to-date photoplay, and stars the four-year-old wonder- child “Breezy” Eason, who as a rags ged little waif with hls faithful dog AT NIRRT RnRnnun= East’” will be presented here for a period of five.days. If such be possible, this latest mns-' terful production by the genius of the screen bids fair to eclipse even the ¥ enormous vogue ecnjoyed by "Thc‘ Birth of a Nation.” Now being offered | ! in the leading . cities of . the l:md,l, “Way Down East” is attracting cap ity throngs and seats are weeks in advance. | This. picturization of the fdmous | stage success furnished by Lomc, Blair Parker and Joseph Grismer goes | much further than the original tale. Mr. Griffith has begun where they halted. He has not made it a provin- | cial'thing; attempted to explain noth- | ing he has welded a theory of eternal | love and in so doing has'removed his | people from tlme and period. Pos-| sessed of a vision and mentality too | great to be handicaped by Lanything, | he has brought forth an qnc far more | than clever—it has the ring of gemus. The simple fun of plain people is brought forth in greater measure than the stage play version could ever hope | to attain and offers keen contrast to the suffering and woe of Anna Moore her hopes and her struggles. Probably the greatest cast of capable”players ever -assemb]éd:for a motion picture production was ‘engaged in the mak ing of this work and it ends in a thrill. ling-climax of spectacular scenes, amid ‘the veering flaws of a New Englan blizzard and the explosive breaking as a companion, escapes from a cruel * father and experiences “The Big ‘Adventure,, several times before he ! finca a real home. It will please the young and old, and will precede tne vaudeville tomght, Thursday, only. “THE SQUAW MAN” AT THE GRAND THEATER MONDAY Whenever Cecil B. DeMille, miaster of screencraft who has produced many famous Artcraft picture suc- cesses, takes up the details of a new pr&duction, not the slightest of these is overlooked. It is because of this that “The Squaw Man,” which will be shown at the Grand theater next Monday only is regarded as one of the finest productions of the screen. The most notable feature of “The Squaw Man,” independent of its in- terest as a human document, is the supermnty of its cast, every player appearing therein being of stellar magnitude. It is seldom that any mo- tion picture presents so fine an array of prominent screen players, and among those in the cast are Elliott Dexter, Ann Little, Katherine Mec Donald, Theodore Roberts, Jack Holt, Thur:ton Hall, Tully Marshall, Edwin . Stevens and many others. “THE MYSTERY ROAD” AT ELKO TODAY AND FRIDAY Southern France is beautifully pictured in “The Mystery Road,” a Paramount Brigish-made picture fea- turing David Powell, which comes to the Elko theater tonight, also Friday ‘matinee and evening. Scenu were photographed at vari-| ous points along the French Riviera, and .despite the remoteness of many of them, the filming operations were watched by large and curious crowds. The story of “The Mystery Road,” - an original one written by E. Phillips Oppenheim, deals with a young Eng-| lishman whose follies hring him along the mystery road of life to the inev- able hour when one must come to the realization that folly doesn’t pay. There is a beautiful love theme, and the romance and drama of the produc- tlon are highly impressive, 'THE FALL GUY” AT THE ELKO TODAY AND FRIDAY | 4 A score of flivvers well broken to the throttle and steering wheel are the Steeds cowboys ride in Larry Semon’s ultra-modern comedy, “The Fall Guy,” which will be shown at the Elko theater tonight and tomor- Tow. As Larry is the most acrobys ¢ comedian on the sereen, what he does 7 with twenty of the automobiles that made Detroit famous can easily be imagined. Norma Nichols is Larry’s leading lady in this up-to-the-minute fun maker. “TREASURE ISLAND” AT THE \. ELKO THEATER SATURDAY Robert Louis Stevcn\zm s immorat story, “Treasure Island,” has reached the “screen .Maurice Tourneur pro- duced it for Paramount Artcraft re- Jease and it will be shown at the Elko " theater next Saturday and Sunday,|® All the color and spirit of high ad- venture that is in the Stevenson clas- - sic has been retained, and the photo-| with M. 1- been mounted play has mastery of ar ‘Tourneur “duction. i The story, which is\familiar to all, has been followed closcly in the screen version. Jim Hawkins, Bill Bones, ».'Long Silver, Ben Gunn—all the famil- jar ‘characters appear in the life ‘in ghe picture. The pxcturc opens_in 81 “Banbow , Tavern,”. wheve &t Bill Bones’ death young Jim comes irto possession, of‘the chart showing the cation of Captain Flint’s treasure. ;mm there sails the old brlgantmx in'w the squire.and his mutinous L crew icave on the treasurc hunt.

['meeting at the John of a‘river ice gorge, all of which en- | thrall as only a Griffith effort. can| move audiences. Thus Mr. Griffith has given what| was expected of him, ha< provided | what his public demands in the usual Griffith scenic splendors and as is hln‘ requirement, offered meater thin “. than' done heretofore. But the pi nacle of his achievement lies not in his great scenes of spectacle. Rather ! his genius is shown in the manner #fdtscourse, but to weigh and to con- | let us read to weigh und | wherein he sustains, maintains and | makes more tun\pdlmg the story of a woman’s soul. He bares for all thc soul of womankind the world over| and in, so doing has attained tlw‘ heights of his art and bewilders-even those who expect of him the great- est of achievement in his field. The production of “Way Down East” in photodramatic form repre- sents ten months of unceasing labor | on the part of Mr. Griffith and his large corps of assistants. He over- looked no minor detail and left noth- ing undone to make ti picture his | greatest work. In m'tlur to make the | triumph complete he organized the! most formidable array of interpreta- tive talent yet assembled f screen | production and including Lillian Gish, Richard Barthelmess, Mary Hay, Low- ell Sherman, Burr MecIntosh and,a| host of others. All this done, he has | surrounded his presentation with » | wealth of effects and an orchestrai| accompaniment of unusual brilliancy. i chosen | AR R R R R R SRR R R R Y x GOODLAND *| fl*flli’iliflflif!il' Jay Wells, M.
