i the screen by C. Gardn: THIHD THOS. H. INCE “SPECIAL” AT GRAND TOMORROW w4 With maternal devotion as the theme, and a cleverly lnvqlved melo- dramatic plot as its moving factor, Thomas H. Ince has woven with char- seteristic skill in his latest produc- tion for the Associated Producers, «Mother o Mine,” which opens at the Graud theater tomorrow and Monday, a motion picture fabric that should stand the wear and tear of the most exacting critical scveen audi- ences. Woven also into the drama, and adding materially te its excellence and strength, are five strikingly con- trasted characterizatio intelligenc- ly interpreted by an all-star cast— Liloyd Hughes, Joseph Kilgour, Betty Biythe, Betty Ross Clark and Claive McDowell. The acuing honors are pretty evea- ly divided. Joseph Filgiur, as ine financier, gives his customary sound interpretation of the hecavy role, Betty Blythe, as the wayw is pot only beautiful and g surpassing elegance, but * demo- nstrates genuine histrionic capabili ties in' her many dramatic situations Claire McDowell, in the title role, is sinceve and convincing, and Beuty Rosa’ Clark commands sympathy and admiration as the plucky sweetlicart of the condemned lad. Lloyd Hughes, as the boy, Robert Sheldon demonstratés that he is not only destined to become a top-notch dramatic actor, but that he has tically arrived at that posi emirnence.

As a iresult, of this loss of the key, the| whole scene had to be re-taken later and Hoxid had a very good reason for swearing off the use of handcufis in the future.

"GHOSTS OF &ESTERDAY” AT ELKO THEATER MONDAY There ¢Gines to the Elko theater for a run of two days next Monday and Tuesday, “Ghosts of Yesterday,” a_special Selznick picture, starring Norma Talmadge, made from the play by Rupert ' Hughes, entitled “Tévo Women.” i upporting Miss Talmadge is Ku- gene O’Bricn, who, since tn"e mnk];r:g of this picture has become a Selznick star and leads in popularity with movie fans throughout the country. _The storv concerns two women of rlmn’ncn::cnhy opposed characteristics | mne a simple seamstress and the other dancer in a notorious Parisian cafe, a young artist. Some tremen iy strong dramatic situations, slifi&;z cqualed: in picture productions, are said to be scen in “Ghosts of Yester- day,” Blld.!he dual role of the two | women give Norma Talmadge a versatility.

The picture will beé shown | at- the Elko theater tonight, also Sunday matinee and evening. “The Great Moment” -is an or- iginal story by Elinor Glyn, noted British novelist and * the world™s greatest wyiter of love “fiction. In: her writings Mrs. Glyn delves into the souls of her racters and bares what lies within—she is a disciple of truth; and realism in mattevs of human heart. Who has not read or henrd of the story, *Threc Weeks?” “The Great Moment!” is- a greater story, a more fascinating love story, a more startling story than ‘Three Weeks.” “The Great Moment” is a story of the ties that bind two hearts—ties which cannot be severed by time, by distance, by prejudice, weaith, or any of the other clements which affect true love; a story invelving a most unusual situation. oo “CUPID'S BRAND" AT ThE , REX THEATER.
