N 'WAY DOWN EAST” MAKING ‘BIG HIT AT REX THEATER/ Unusual interest attaches to the opening of the five-day engagement in his city of D. W. Griffith’s great spectacle, “Way Down East,” which was seen here for the first time Tues- day at the Rex theater. “Way Down East” will be presented here for a period of five days. 1f such be possxble, this latest mas- terful produttion by the genius of the screen bids fair to eclipse even the enormous” yogue enjoyed by ‘“The Birth of a Nv:non ” Now being offered in the leading cities of the land, weeks in advance. This picturization of the famous stuge success furnished by Lottie 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- cml thing; attempted to explain noth- ing he has welded a theory of eternal peopie from time and period. Pos- great to be handicaped by anything, he has brought forth an epnc far more than clever—it has the ring of g(.mus brought forth in greater measure than the stage play version could ever hope ! to attain and offers keen contrast to; tke suffering and woe of Anna Moore, ever assembled for a motion picture ing of this work'and it ends in a thrill- ing climax of spectacular scenes amid “the veering flaws of a New England b'izzard and the explosive breaking of a river ice gorge, all of which en- tlrall ‘as only a Griffith effort can move audiences. * Thus Mr. Griffith has given what was expected of him, has provided his public demands in the usual Griffith scenic splendors and as is his requirement, offered greater thmgs than done heretofore. But the pin- nacle of his achievement lies not in his great scenes of spectacle. Rather his genius is shown in the manner wherein he sustains, maintains and makes more compelling the story of a| woman’s soul. He bares for all the soul of womankind the world over heights of his art and bewilders even those who expect of him the great- lestdof achievement in his 'chosen’ ie! 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 this picture his i3 est work. In order to make the triumph complete he organized the most formidable array of interpreta- tive talent yet assembled for a screen production and including Li''ian Cich el! Sherman, Burr McIntosh and a host of others. All this done, he has ‘surrounded his presentation with a wen'th of effects and an ore! accompaniment of unusual brilliancy. “THE SQUAW MAN" AT THE GRAND THEATER MONDAY Whenever Cecil B. DeMille, master of screencraft who has produced many famous Artcraft picture suc- cesses, takes up the details of a new production, not _the slightest of these is over'ooked. It is because of this that “The Squaw Man,” which will be i t productions of the screen. I'he most notable feature of “The Squaw Man,” independent of its in- terest as a human document, is the superiority of its cast, every player appearing therein being of stellar mogenitude. 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 Mc Denald, Theodore Roberts, Jack Holt, Thurston Hall, Tully Marshall, Edwin ~Stevens a 9 mnn}, others, “THE MYSTERY ROAD” AT ny e W A sy Southern France is benuhfu’lly pictured in “The Mystery Road,” FParamount Brivioici. tin David Powell, which comes to the Elko theater tonight.
