SPECIAL ENTERTAINMENT AT THE REX THEATER THURSDAY . The Rex theater will offer some- thing out of the ordinary in the way of entertainment T_hursdfxy night. l‘l has secured a booking with the well known “Band Box Revue,” a musical comedy show, that has just completed a tweive weeks' run at'the Grand theater, Minneapolis, and six weeks at Superior, Wis. d N This show will contain cvcrythmg that goes to make a lively, .“peppy girl show, and those who enjoy goo singing, dapcing, and pretty girls wearing pretty costumes should see it. The management of the Rex has gone to coasiderable trouble to se- cure this show, feeling that it would be a pleasant diversion from the usual vaudeville acts, anad to those that really like. the vaudeville, it is as- sured that. this show also has special | vaudeville acts, and to those that dancing sister teams, singing and dancing comedians, and best of all a bevy ‘of singing and dancing phnrus girls, who possess grace and skill that | will ‘be a spacial feature. Best of all this show will play for popular prices. BEBE DANIELS IN *“ THE SPEED GIRL” AT GRAND . One always expects breezy, fast- moving comedy drama from the peu of Elmer Harris; one always expects delightful interpretation of any role' by Bebe Daniels; and one always ex- pects a picture replete with clever offects when directd by Major Maur- jce Campbell. Yet it scems that this gifted trio of entertainers, who have| collaborated on so many of Miss Dan-| fels’ recent screen hits, have outdone even themselves in “The Speed Girl,” which opens tonight at the Grand theater. ¢ . Tho Ipopular star herself is so admirably. fitted by this role that one| has the feeling that she really 1 the| heroine, and that the audience is merely seeing a cross section of her own life, E “The Speed Girl” is a fast-moving story of a girl who was born with the desire for swift motion, whetker on land, ses or in the air. Even as w child, it is shown, Betty Lee wanted a speedier “scooter” and wanted to push it faster than any of the other little boys or girls. Miss Daniels is supported by a cast of the action, as well as fulfilling the Realart standard of excellence. Theo- dore Van Eltz is leading man and looks very swank in his uniform of blue. Walter Hiers, as the press- agent, supplies his inimitable kind of comedy. Frank. Elliott, who has played “heavies” in a number of pictures for other companies, is seen as an ardent suitor of Betty’s while Norris Johnson plays Hilda, the girl who contributes an important hoost to the surprising solution. PATHE NEWS AT THE GRAND THEATER TONIGHT 1+ Pathe Weekly News, acknowledged by the word to be the best pictorial news weekly, showing current events and interesting views from.all over the world=—and which is showing reg- ylarly each Tuesday and Wednesday at the Grand theater together with a Snub Pollard comedy, will be an ad- d_xtlho;ml attraction at that place to- night, : OF THE THEATRES i magazine readers.

ELKO THEATER SATURDAY | Gouverneur Morris’ fine novel, | “The Wild Goose,” redently published | by Charles Scribner’s: Sons of New! York, and which has l?d:n‘cxtenswe(y sold, has been picturized by Cosmd- politan for Paramount, and it will be shown at e Elko theater next Thurs- | day and Priday. Mary ‘MacLaren and ¢ Holmes E. Herbert play the leading roles. “The Wild Goose” was first pub~ lished in serial form in 1{earst’s mag-|' i azine, whose circulation ‘is 500,000 a month, beginning in September, 1918. The story caught on immediately and was widely read. Mr. Morris’ other stories have found great favor with! 1876 in New York city. He attended Yale university at New Haven, Conn., and graduated with a B. A. degree in 1898. Among the most noted of his works are “The Penalty,” “When My Ship Comes In,” and “The God- dess.” “GIRLS DON'T GAMBLL"" AT THE ELKO THEATER TONIGHT Regarding the picture at the Elko tonight the Moving Picture World says: )"‘A Saturday Evening Post story, «Girls Don’t Gamble Any More,’ ha_S( been used with good effect as a basis | for the five-reel D. N. Schwab pro-| duction, ‘Girls Don’t Gamble.” David Butler is the featured member of the cast. He proves that he has a picture | personality worthy of exploitation, | backed by the ability to act. ’l‘he! characterization of the picture is} made up of everyday folk and is; pleasingly outlined by a well selected | cast. The! story is consistent, inter-/ esting and clearly told and the pic-| ture presents few errors, either tech- nical or diamatic. The production | has a whalesome tone from begin-! ning to end, and is a .refreshing]| change from the rich man’s angle, | from which ‘the majority of produc-| tions are staged. It also contains al great deal of spontaneous comedy.” WEDNESDAY FILM SHOWS ! A MIX.UP IN RELATIVES | Here's a complicated problem in relationships to solve some cold win- ter evening: If you were the daughter] of a widow and she married an Eng- lish lord, thegy you were wedded to the | lord’s younger brother, would your! mother’s husband be your step-father | or your brother-in-law? It all happens | in Marguerite \Clark’s picture, “All- of-a-Sudden Peggy,” which will ap- pear in repeat showing at the Elko theater tomorrow, Wednesday, only. Probably when 'you see the picture | you won’t worry about the relation- ship puzzle, for it’s said to be a very jolly Jittle romantic comedy, with Miss Clark in her most delight{ul mood. Handsome Jack Mulhall is the leading man. It's a Paramount Art-| craft picture directed by Walter Ed- wards. HAVE HIGH REGARD FOR LIFE Brahmans’ Ethica Do Not Allow Them to Destroy Even the Most An- noying Pests. Mr. (. E. Tyndale Biscoe, in his ook, “Kashmir fn_ Sunlight and Shade,” gives the following entertain- ing account of the Brahmans’ pecullar- ities: “Jt's very difficult to understand 1he Brahmans' ethics. Often in the summer time, when one is teachlug a class, it happens that a mosquito' or & ly séttles on one’s hand, By force of habit T end his life with a slap. At this the Brahmaus jump and cry out, “Oh, oh! you have taken a life! You have taken a life!' and suck thelr fin- gers hard and crack their knuckles, which Is a sign of djstress and horror. They have of late given up this custom of showing horror at the death, of a fly or mosquito; for they hate the re- tort, ‘Don't you eat mutton? They will not kill psects, and I have seen a Imy‘plcl: a flea off of himself and | then quickly put it in a place of safe- ty down the neck of the boy next to him, for If he had put it on the floor it might have heen trodden upon, or perhaps have returned to his own per- son, - This belief ' of theirs in the preservation of pests is very unfortu- nate. Tt is the same with rats and mice, which abound. The furthest they will go in the matter Is to eatch them ! in traps and then carry them to the opposite side of the river and there re- lease them. But as people on both sides of the river play the same game, GARRISON SISTERS COMING .. IN A NOVELTY POSING ACT The Garrison Sisters,. featuring the. most perfectly Tormed girl in the world, will be the feature attrac- tion on-the Grand theater vaudeville bill for Thursday only of this week. Less than 20 years ago a mite of a baby'was acclaimed and awarded tirc first prize at baby show during an Eiks carnival in Jackson, Mich., for being ‘the most perfectly developed baby.: That perfect child of less than two decades ago is the “perfection’’ girl - who today rivals Venus. and Diana in measurements for being the most perfectly formed girl in all the world. . The Garrison Sisters present a pos- ing act of exceptional Leauly, fea- turing Mildred, the erstwhile perfect ‘baby with a beautiful turquoise hlue plush eyclorama drop for a back- ground, aided by electrical effects of a new and novel feature that permitc the colors to fude inte another. They introduce a number of vosings representative of ancient and modern statuary and famous pictures rec- oghized as the nest m ari. i. As poveurs, this duo of beautiful girls are more than u success. They are a velation for the ten minutes ?heY hold the stage. the rats do not decrease greatly.” Mice Phenomenal Jumpers, Mice can wake people jump. Can they jump themselves? The answer Is In the affirmative, and. according to an incident related by F. C. (Halifax), they are real dabs at it. The other day he came upon # mouse on a 6foot wall. The mouse ran away, and, finding no means of gradual descent, took its life in its hands, and jumped to the ground. The ground’ was a hard-beaten foot patl, and, to the astonlshment of my corre- spondent, the little creature alighted without injury, and scuttled away for all it was worth. “A mouse's leg will be barely one- eighth of an inch thick,” concludes F. C. “and if we work the incident out proportionately, we find the llttle crea- ture's jump equivalent to that of a man at over 131 feet. Imagine a wan taking a sheer downward. leap 131 feet, alighting on a hard surface, and running oft uninjured ! . T am not sure whether F. C.'s for- mula 18 correct, but T agree with him that his little mouse certainly was some juwmper !—TLondon Answers. o e cessity for *We are importing at the rate of about $300,000,000 worth of foreign. irto the United States,” declares Congressman L W.
