To use his own language, ‘he put on a nose-bag,” meaning he had something td eat, and approached a cattleman and asked for work. Ile was at once engaged as cook on _thc B. B. ranch, the foreman of which was Joe Dalton, the clever scoundrel in-“A Western Demon.” The cook was' none other than Billy Franey himself, the man who was born to make the world laugh, and when you see him making one of his many trips to the “old crow’s nest,” as he does in this production, we are sure you will agree with us. Mr. Frapey is known the world over as a comedian who has been a star in his own com- edies ‘for the past six years, and at great expense he was secured to play the comedy part in “A Western De- mon.” - ) “EVER SINCE EVE” AT THE REX TODAY, TOMORROW The story of an orphan girl adopt- od by a rich artist—that is the theme of Shirley Mason’s latest Fox pro- duction, to open: at the Rex theater today Written as a magazine story by Joseph Ernest Peat under the title, “‘Concerping Chichine,” it has become | in film form, “Ever Since Eve.”” The | romance is one admirably suited to Miss Mason, and carries an acute in- terest while free from sensationalism. It i hat, may be terined a “sur- prise” play, inasmuch as the: final seene is utilized ‘to clear up.a mys- tery which has marked the progress of the story throughout, ' Miss Mason should shine in this ;vrqductinn. the central character of which is peculiarly her type. Her engagement at the Rex theater is for two days. ) TOM MIX IN “TRAILIN’,” AT THE REX CHRISTMAS' DAY Tom Mix;, the William Fox star, who recently paid New York a flying visit, astonished his interviewers when they asked him how he liked the metropolis. Mo bad been shown every wonder and mouth-opener which the city boasted. Nevertheless, when the big question was put to him, he did not say a word—just pulled out his| time table and looked up the next train back home to California. It wasn't hecause the famous dar devil actor didn’t marvel at the city's greatness; it was simply because he loved the West with its wonderful sunsets .and its roving herds of cat- | tle. Mix is back on the west coast, ' but his motion pictures zre to be scen all over the world.” .- The ldtést of thesc comes to the - Rex theater Christmas day.

Fred Goodwins plays the role of the girl’s jealous and finally jilted lover. He hag been seen as leading man for Fanny. Ward, Mildred Harris and ather: stal;.

Omar Whitehead handles the role of a hypnotist with real finesse, and Carrie Clazk Ward, as a belligerent servant, completes the cast of prin- cipals. ¢ “DANGEROUS CURVE AHEAD” IS FINE FARCE COMEDY “Dangerous Curve Ahead,” Rupert Hughes’ great picture of married life, contains some of the finest humor that ever registered before the cam. i , its realism failings, it is more than comedy., You will ‘rock with laughter—and then suddenly find yourself thrilled by an intensely dramatic situation. It will be here at the Grand Christmas day and Monday and no true lover of the photoplay will miss it. “THE DANGIN* FOOL” AT .
