“THE SWAMP” AT ELKO TONIGHT AND FRIDAY “The Swamp,” Sessue Ha){akawa‘s: Jatest R-C Pictures corporation pro- duction, adapted from his own orfi‘ ifginal story, is rich in humor as we | as” pathos ‘and wihll tfnrmsh ‘:}TK ‘::J h for local theatergoers Bl g‘-’szc':‘eened at the Elko theater to- night and Fridsy. o Haynkawn takes a marked depar- ture from his intensely dramatic Toles of the past and plays the part of the simple Chinese boy who carns his liv- ing selling vegetables with a _deit touch of comedy that will captivate all those who sce it And let it be stated here and now that the noted Japanese-American star is - just as skiliful a comedian as he is a tra- gedian. “Ihe Swamp” differs from any- thing Mr. Hayakawa has ever playe and his role is so sympathetic, so tinged with sadness and so poignant- iy real that it is bound to be one o the outstanding characterizations of the year. . Realizing the importance of having the best possible cast to support him Mr. Hayakawa sent a copy of the play to Miss Bessie Love and asked her if she would play the leading feminine role, notwithstanding -the fact that Miss Love is a star in her own right and has her own production com- pany. “SKY-HIGH” AT THE REX THEATER NEXT SUNDAY Tom Mix, the whirlwind Fox star, beats the speed of his own‘buly}ets i his latest picture, “Sky-High, if advance notices mean anything. What with Tony, his ‘wonderful horse, a gov- ernment airplane, and the Grand Can- yon of Arizona as a bnckgrqund, Mix is said to out-Mix himself in stunts. There are a lot of reasons why motion picture fans adore Tom Mix, and .“Sky-High,” which comes to the Rex theater Sunday is declared to be the best reason his followers cver had for doing so. It is usually found that Tom doesn't even bother about liv- ing up to his advance notices. He keeps far ahcad of them. . I «“Sky-High” shows Mix in the kind | of role his devotees like best.

The popular motion picture star has announced her candidacy for the mayoralty and has plunged into the midst of a strenuous campaign which has created considerable talk. Her oppotent is Freddy Blecker, and the town has been separated on sex lines. Man against woman— that is the political situation. Determined to win, the beautiful woman candidate is working hourly; | the women are conducting daily | parades down the main streets of the city and are arousing such a pitch of enthusiasm for their cause that the camp of the opposition is becoming fearful. The men aré put- ting their heads together in an at- tempt to stem the tide that is setting in favor of. the enemy. But the task seems hopeless, for the platform: of Constance has appealed to the| public. ' Here is Connie’s platform: | “Chase the glooms that exist in this man-governed city and cast your votes for the joys that will make it 4 heaven. “Give the women a chance to show up the men, They have been gov- erning this city for many years—and it isn’t getting any better. ‘Abolish the wash tubs—or make the men do the work. “Give us maids—or we won't give you meals.” It ‘will .be a great day for the womcn'i[ Constance Talmadge is| elected in “Woman’s Place,” a First National attraction which will be ex- lubitm} at the Rex theater today. The picture is one of .the most amus- ing things that this talented star has done, and the story] is the work of Joln Emerson and ‘Anita Loos. “EXPERIENCE” AT ELKO SATURDAY AND SUNDAY :*George Fitzmaurice's Paramount production of “Experience,” which is the. special photoplay attraction at the Elko theatre for iext Saturday and Sunday, has scared heavily where ever. it hds been screened. It proved to be.an artistic delight for all who behelgl‘the photoplay. - The story is allegorical and deals with the adven- tures of -4 -youth who goes to the city to make his fortune and who meets ‘with temptation, ignores opportunity | and, giving way to pleasure, fails miserably. But love who has follow- €d him, beckons him home again where. hg finds happiness and the love he had ignored. The -picture is quite charming and a reminder of “Every- woman” in treatment. . Richard Bar- thelmess is the featured player, and others in_ the_ cast who. did excellent work are John Miltern, Marjorie | Daw, Edna Wheaton, E. J. Radclitfe, Betty Carpenter, Kate' Bruce, Nita Naldi and Lilyan Tashman. The pic- | ture constitutes a veritable fashion show and the scenic investiturs of the richest description. It .is well worth seeing. NEWS OF THE THEATRES § NI COMEDY, THRILLS AND MORE COMEDY AT GRANDYy Eugene O’Brien comes to the ! Grand theatre for a two days’ run to- morrow in his latest Selznick com- edy drama, “Chivalrous Charley,” Iwhose other name is Reilly, and whose pet diversion is to make harg-boiled New York understand that the Celtic temperament is mild and ;forgiving | and shy, except—when the ladies are involved. And to Charley Reilly’s distressed eyes the ladies. appear to be involved in everything. With 'such a combimation as O’Brien and Reilly, it can be assumed that in “Chivalrous Charley” things move. In fact, it is claimed that they never stop from the moment Charley enters the dining car on his way East, after having spent some time at his uncle’s expense in the wilds of the West among “the rough- necks,” until he lands at his uncle’s New Rochelle home in the lead of a squadron of motoreycle cops, cgt.,t bent on arresting him before having to call in the assistance of the allied armies and navies. Charley Chaplin, in “The Fire- man,” completes this program. “FALSE KISSES” AT THE GRAND TONIGHT ONLY The most damnable situation ever conceived by a playwright, is the way a Chicago reviewer described the piv- otal episodes of ‘“Ropes,” Wilbur Daniel Steele’s one-act play, wl!ich was published in Harper’s Magazine, staged all over the country and dis- cussed with favor and censure by all the literary celebrities of the United States. In “False Kisses,” the Universal film version of “Ropes,” the story is even more powerful in its simplicity. Miss Du Pont is the star and Pat 0'Malley and Lloyd Whitlock are her chief supporting players. It will be | the main attraction' at the Grand theatre for tonight only. The story concerns a blind light- house keeper, his wife and his “friend”—the latter a former suitor for the wife and also her husband’s employer. While the husband is blind, the wife is compelled by their friend to ! accept his attentions, on pain of| bringing trouble to her husband if she refused. The husband sits in a chair in the very room in which she | kisses the other man and permits him | to talk to her of love and happiness. A child’s building blocks, symboli- cul of the ropes of lovxe and associa- tion that have bound the lighthouse | keeper and his wife through five years | of married life, are used by the in- truder as a symbol of his_ affection for _th is friend. When the denou At comes, it)is the blocks | that tell the story to the husband.| “My Goodness,” a Sennett two- 'oun‘ TIMBER 1S RUNNING.
