Seiter, who directed the feature, as well as the entire MacLean com- pany. g She was engaged under the supposi- tion that she was a trick mule. The trick, Seiter soon discovered, was to get her to work. Careful experimenta- tion, howeyer, revealed that Maud possessed ~liftlg’ human weaknesses and through taking advantage of these she was made to prform in true stellar style. Py “WHAT EVERY WOMAN KNOWS” AT ELKO THEATER TOMORROW I£ you: were to find @ eupposed burglar in your house at night, read- ing a book, would you ‘agree to give him $1,500 to educate him end bind ‘yourself to become his wife at the end of five years? That was the situ- tion in which Lois Wilson, as the girl heroine of “What_ Every Woman Knows,” the new William "DeMille Paramount picture which will be dis- played at the Elko theater tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday, found herself. This is a delightful picturization by @ master producer of Sir James M. Barrie’s famous . stage su¢cess in which Maude Adams starred for sev- eral seasons. The scenes of the pic- ture are laid in Scotland and E: land &nd in the development; story many dramatic situationg . sue.

' | ¥NOW OR NEVER” AT THE day and Wednesday and see Harold | Lloyd now, or never will you have another such opportunity to forget your troubles and revel in the sense of complete relaxation and happiness that permeates one’s being .when en- tertained by Lloyd. y “Now or Never” is three reels of Harold Lloyd at his best. No higher praise could be given any comedy. From the time the be-goggled come- dian appears on the screen in one of the funniest automobile escapades this reviewer has ever seen, to ‘the final fade-out, “Now or Never” hard- ly gives your face a chance to relax from a roaring laugh into a grin. And, as is always true of the Lloyd brand of fun, it is clean and genuine. PETER B. KYNE STORY AT THE GRAND TONIGHT - Little Mary Philbin is a new screen personality, but she gives promise of going far up the ladder of success. In “Red Courage,” Hoot Gibson’s | latest starring picture adapted from Peter B. Kyne’s Sheriff of Cinnebar,” she has the ap- pealing role of the young daughter of a-talented but drunken father, a role that is especially suited to the sweet and child-like freshness of the petite actress. The story of two smiling ne’er-do- wells, who came into possession of a one-horse newspaper of a little west- ern town. How Pinto cleans up the town, is elected sheriff, runs out the corrupt mayor, solves a murder mys- tery and wins the girl against fearful odds. * Hoot Gibson, the smiling western star, fast becoming one of the most popular on the csreen, plays the part of Pinto. “A Nervy Dentist,” a two-part com- edy, completes the program. LON CHANEY TO BE SEEN AT GRAND THEATRE SUNDAY Lon' Chaney, whose remarkable performance in ‘“The Penalty” will go down in the history of motion pic- ture production as an extraordinary ‘physical as well as histronic achieve- ment, plays the lead in “Ace of Hearts,” a Gouverneur Morris pic- ture, coming to the Grand theatre for two days, commencing Sunday. This is the third picture -made by Goldwyn in which Chaney has played, and it marks one of his biggest succésses since “The Miracle Man.” “DIANE OF STAR HOLLOW” AT REX THEATER SUNDAY Tleoughout the breadth of Ameri- can filmland as weil .as' foreign cir- cles, a big feature entitled “When Bearcat Went Dry,” created a furore and resulted in the picture being .played and réplayed everywhere.
