PAGE.FOUR | > 4 e “HER FACE VALUE” AT THE ELKO THEATER TOMORROW Does. & “thrill” lose anything of its oflut. on the audience by letting Rliem eee that it is staged for the era? ul'}'his is'the question asked by Wan- da Hawley, star of the Realart pic- ture, “Her Face Value,” which will open tomorrow for a two-day run at the Elko theaters “If the audience gets as much of a thrill out of my dangling over a CHiff and trying to drop into & moving automobile as I did,” says )'(lu Haw- ley, “I will feel amply repaid for my trouble and risk.” . ‘Wanda Hawley in “Her Face Val- ue,” enacts the role of a girl who be- came & motion picture star. The audi- ence sees her at work on “location,” and gains a very clear ‘impression of how pictures are filmed and how stars earn those big salaries. “THE SILENT CALL” AT REX THEATER TONIGHT To those who have been saying that the screen is surfeited with society stories, melodramas argd other plots which reveal only a minor aspect o our modern life, it will be welcome news to hear of the story depicted in “The Silent Call.” Adapted t'rom, “The Cross Pull,” Hal G. Evarts’ story which first appeared in the Sat- urday Evening Post, this photoplay breathes vibrantly of the great oul~ doors. Never before have the moun- tain fastnesses of the Sierras been translated onto the silver sheet in all their glorious existence as in this photoplay where they serve as the background for a tale of human and animal emotions. “The Silent Call,” a Laurence Trimble-Jane Mur- fin production, presented by H. O. Davis, which is being released by As- sociated First National Pictures, opened at the Rex theater Sunday. 1t has this twofold story: the dram- atic incidents in the lives of a group of humans, and the love of a wonder- ful dog and a she wolf. These plots are -connected by Strongheart, the dog, in whose heart there is the ever- present combat between the primitive instincts of the wolf horde and the love for man which has been implant- ed in him thropgh his dog ancestry. Jane Murfin is 2 name well known to theatergoers through her collabor- ation in the authorship of “Day- break,” “Information Please” and “Lilac Time”; in addition to the edi- torial participation in the scenaro departments of several of our lead- ing producers. Laurence Trimblc i3 better known to motion pi+-ure audiences through his writing and direction of films for a nuimbar of yenrs. . The principal players in the cast include Joha Bowers, Kathryn Me Guire, James Mascn, William Dyer, Robert Bolder and Nelson Mac Dowell. AGNES AYRES BATTLES 'FIERCELY IN “THE SHEIK"” When screen stars are required in the performance of their roles to bat- tle for the preservation of their lives, honor of personal rights, it is often done listlessly, but seldom so in Para- mount pictures. The invariabie rule of the Paramount directors is to be realistic, so that when a fight is sched- uled“by the story it is a real battle and np makeshift affair. Thus it happened that when Agnes Ayres, Paramount star, and featured player with Rudolph Valentino in " George Melford’s magnificent produc- “ tion of “The Sheik,” which is the feature at the Elko theater tonight, last time, was directed to fight four Arabian slave girls “for all she was worth,” she obeyed orders literally, the result being a scene of intense realism seldom seen in any motion picture. “It was lots of sport,” said Miss| Ayres the next morning. “But oh, today! I feel as if I'd been through a <yc]_nnc. Those girls were all stock- ily built and all four clung to me at once and I had to throw them off, I assure you I haven’t any idea just what I did—I was told to fight and that's 2ll'there was to it.” This is only one of many realistic n this superb production. There are many thrilling moments in thp action, a desert sandstorm, bat- tling Bedouins and magnificent Sa- haran scenes, The picture is based on E. M. Hull's novel of the same name which “created a literary sensation both in this country and in England. “THE INVISIBLE FEAR” AT REX, OPENING TUESDAY % Anita Stewart in “The In Fear,” a First National attraction, " will appear at the Rex theater for a . h\'o<da}' run.

Until his reappearance Sylvia had thought b Cogiwtork dead, having scen a body which she believed to be his, being cm:gun_md by the flames in a burning cabin, " For- years she had been -the victim of the “invisible fear,” and the shock of his appearance in the flesh proved £ | Hunniwell,” a “pretty too much.

Baker produc- tion for S-L_(Arthur Sawyer- Her- bert Lubin) Picures, which comes to the Grand theater Tuesday and Wed- nesday, will more than fill the bill. In this second of his series of Metrc releases, Mr. Hughes has a ston which gives him a worid of opportun ity for those excellent character por- trayals which won him ‘such a fol- lowing in “Sentimental Tommy,” and “The:Hunch.” It is a picture version of the day dreams of an imaginative youth who sllows his love of romanc- ing to get the better of his diseretion with results that prove highly excit- ing to those who ave unthtmgl.y dragged:into thg hectic: seope of his activities. .

An added attraction which is show- ing tonight for the last time with “Cameron of the Royal Mounted,” caused considerable comment when shown for the first time at that the- ater yesterday. It-is entitled “Thrills” and shows them a-plenty. In the air, on land and sea, remarkable feats of daring and sport that.are breath- taking in their reality. Auto races, motorcycle races, airplane stunts, bucking horses, a head on collision between ‘two speeding locomotives, toboganning, ski jumping, perilous! trips by boat through dangerous rap- ids, stecple jacks at work and & mul- titude of other death defying epi- sodes. Altogether it is entirely unique and of immense interest to an audi- ence. . ¢ “CAMERON OF THE ROYAL MOUNTED” AT GRAND TONIGHT Numerous stories have been writ- ten of the great Northwest, and as many have been portrayed on the ‘scrm-n._But only once has permission [b'con given members of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police to partj- cipate in the picture making, This once was for “Cameron of the Royal Mounted,” ‘a Ralph : Connor story, distributed by Hodkinson, which is-showing at the Grand theater for the last time tonight.

HAUL PRODUCTS TO MARKET Enormous Amount Carried Over Coun- try Roads Shows Necessity of Better Condition. The uecessity of keeping country roads in good condition is shown by a report recently compiled by the burean of markets and crop estimates, Unitec States Department of Agriculture, showing the extent to which they are used In hauling farm products to mar- ket. According to the report, which shows the tonnage of 11 products hauled ‘on country roads, giving the yetzly ‘uverage for the period from 1915 to 1919, there were 27 tons of | these 11 crops hauled for every 100 udres: of land. The average tonnage | of the 11.crops hauled on country | rodds- each year for the period men-| tioned amounted to 88,560,000 tons.| The 11 crops referred to in the report ; are corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, rice, flaxseed, cotton (including seed), to- bacco, potatoes and cuitivated hay. ~ BOWLINE SAVES HORSE The knowledge of how to tie the right kind of a knot at the right time and put it to the right use is .some-| thing_every scout may be proud and | glad to possess.
