The audicnce starts laughing ut the very beginning, which shows Lloyd as a young man in love crossing a busy street, his mind evi- dently upon the fair maiden for whom he has just purchased flowers. They shouted when, a vear after Lloyd anad Mildred Davis had stood before the altar and said “I Do!” they were seen wheeling 1 baby ca age down” the avenue, dnd’ ¢ age was found to contain***. It*s good to tell! ERRITR TS | When two nephews of .the tender ages of four and one year descended upon them, the fun started in real earnest, for the inexperience of grown-ups is no match for the mis- chievousness of children. When the burglar aitived, it didn’t scem possi hle that any one couid have enough strength left to laugh, but they did, and “I Do!”’ wound up with a roar that has seldom been heard. “1 Do!” is Harold Lloyd at his best, which is making a broad statement in view of the many good comedies he has made. Its high quality, s clever ness and wholesomeness augurs well for his future comedi NEW INTEREST IN AUTHOR OF “OVER THE HILL” AT REX How quickly we are forgotten! It seems only yesterday that we could not attend a home party or a school eptertainment without some one be- thg calfed upon to recite Will Carle- ton's “Over the Hill,” or “‘Betsey and I Are Out,” ot Gone With a Hand- somer man”—br. some. other work of this famous poet of his day. will Carleton died in Brooklyn or.:ly nine years ago, but events crowd in these times and people quickly forget. Now that William Fox has made a remarkable motion picture entitle “QOver the Hill,” which embraces the narative of two poems from “Farm Ballads,” and the photodrama is drawing capacity crowds, many peo- ple are asking “Who is or was Wil Carleton?” Of course, older patrons of the theater are quick to remember this gentle poet, for he enjoyed a nationwide vogue not many scasons|c back. Theatrical managers anad motion picture producers have been wonder- ing how Willinm Fox happened to hit upon this author, whom they over- looked in the constant scarch for dramatic material. One explanati may be found in the fact that Mr. Fox is an ardent lover and reader of A LT T T L LTS RN s postry. Morcover, he believes that the ‘dreamer of verse is the man or! woman who will give us the greatest photoplays. Whether Mr. Fox will turn to; Carleton for further inspiration in the making of motion pictures, or| whether other producers will take | up this w the presenta- 0! tion-of “Over:the Hill” has-arcused{- a new interest' in Carlefon and his work. “PAYING THE PIPER” AT | ELKO THEATER TONIGHT A wild debutante with a penchant for clothes of the: most stunning kind—that. s .the. role. that. Dorothy Dickson has, it the e Fitzmaur- i roduction of ““Paying thePiper,” w to the Elko theater to- night, also Sunday matinee and eve- ning, and in order to act the part con- vincingly, the: actress wears a suc- cession of gowns that constitute a veritable. fashion show. What kind of girl will be the pro- duct of a divorce.which permits her to spend six menths a year with her straightlaced, puritanical mother and the other ‘six months with a father whose turpitude is known to all the chorus girls in New York? That in- teresting question is answered in the George Fizmaurice ~production of “Paying the Piper.)’ In order to present this girl’s case trathfuily, Guida BergeYe, the author has woven a siory repiete with human and dramatic situations. In the end, one feels satisfied that the ontcome is. exactly what would seem to be logical. Dorothy Dickson, heretofore seen on- ly as a dancer in many New York py dugtiens, is the hecoine. Others in the cast include such favorites as George Faweceft. Robert"Schable, Alma Tell, Regingl Denny and Rod LaRoque. i e “THE ROAD TO LONDON" * ‘AT THE GRAND SUNDAY What is adventure?
