AT THEATRES “LIFE” AT THR ELKO LAST TIME TONIGHT William: A. Brady’s picture pro- duction of “Life” based on Thomp- son Buchanan's stage success, makes its final appearance .at the Elko the- ater tonight. An’ excellent sample of ‘the melodramatic stories which were all the rage some years ago, #Life” ‘has qualities which should " make it quite acceptable to-all class- of motion _picture fans. - One stches the vain.struggles of ‘an in- nocent. man accused of- crime to es- cape the fate that menaces him, with tremendous interest, and when his faithful wife, after many dramatic in- cidents, succeeds in freeing him from legal execution and brings the guilty ones to justice, one leans back and frankly admits his joy.at her victory ‘The wicture is well produced and the |; direction excellent. Unusually cleve. j}:)l;yers including Jack Mower, Arline etty, Nita Naldi, - Roq La Rocque and J. H. Gilmore have the principal roles. The heart interest and appea: iof the story manifest themselves witl. convincing force. - “THE CHILD THOU GAVEST ME” ‘AT REX' TONIGHT “The Child Thou Gavest Me,” which is to be the attraction under the First National trademark at the| -Rex -theater for two days, starting today, introduces a new produc-| ing organization to the motion picture ublic. It is an indeipendent unit -known as John M. .Stahl Produgctions, ‘and. the pictures: made under Mr. Stahl's personal direction, will -be presented by Louis B. Mayer. . The initial offering of this company according to advance reports,.is one ‘of the most dramatic stories ever filmed. The story evolved about a startingly novel situation—one that bas never been done before in film— and the suspense ‘and tensenéss thru- out make this one of the outstanding achievements in movie history. The cast is of all-tar callibre, in- cluding such celebreties as Lewis Stone, Barbara Castleton,, William Desmond, Adele Farrington, Winter Hall and last, but not least, little Richard Headrick, aljas “Itchie,” who has -won his wa to millions of hearts by his acting in previous pic- tures. Despite his tender age—“Itchie” is enly three years old—he in reality is the star of the picture, in spite of the unprecedented strength of the cast. In “The Child Thou Gavest Me,” the 'ittle chep does not simp'y pose.in ¥ or two rcenss, ag is customary @ th child actors of his,age; he is & part of the thread of the story and is. “acting” all the way, through it. And little “Itchie” is some actor. “Itchie” has become so’ popular in the. motion picture colony in Los An- les, that directors are constantly idding for his services, but his: par- ents refuse to allow him to spend miore than a day a week before the eamera. WM. S. HART COMING IN . / “WHITE OAK” AT GRAND This is another of William H. Mart’s own conceptions. A story of & period which to him is an open book. 1t is a period he loves—the early days of the west, the days of the prairie schoorier, the wagon trains, the long and perilous journeys across the des- erts and mountains with hidden ene- mies lurking in ambush. - It is a colot- ful story, with vivid action and con- trasts that are startling in their con- ception. It is the age old tale of love and passion and the lust of men for wealth. It is the story of man’s inhu- manity to man and: woman; of ‘a strong man’s battle and of a girl’s true affection. It is a compelling sus- one: that rings the note of truth at penseful, heart-throbbing picture and every turn. % “White Oak” is Wm. S. Hart's latest production and will be shown for the first time in the city Satur- day and Sunday at the Grand theater. TOM MIX BREAKS OWN RECORD IN NEW ROLF Tom Mix, the William Fox star, never believed he would ever have to break the record for cost of cloth- ing and outfit which he set in his western photoplays with his famous cowboy. costumes. It has hap- K«ned at last_during the making of is newest Fox production, “The Rough Diamond,” which will be shown at the Rex, beginning Sunday. As a western star, Mix was reported to have peid out sums for his famous Stetson.hats, handmade decorated boots, pearl-handled revolvers, beaded vests, etc., that rivaled the cost of a prima.donna’s regalia. i ~ In his latest production, playing a new role in a story different from any he had ever been seen in, Mix, #s a reckless adventurer, becomes a generalissimo Jin the army of a southern republics It is the rich and gaudy costume he wears in this part with its yards of gold braid, expensive cavalier boots, silken cords end sash- es,_gold-plated sword, rare, feathers and other accoutrement that equalled and passed the cost of any outfit he had cver worn since becoming a mo- tion picture star. “THE BRIDE'S PLAY” AT ELKO THEATER TOMORROW The first lover’s kiss does not fore- tell the end of the story in Marion Davies' new Cosmopolitan Paramount picture, “The Bride's Play.” which wil! be shown at the Elko theater to- morrow, also Saturday matinee and evening. This is only one of the fea- tures of this picture that make it different from the average produc- tion. Aileen Barrett. the pretty Irish girl whom Marion Davies impersar ates, sees the unworthiness of her faithless poet lover before it is too late. How she brings about, his hu- millsYon and shame, after he has shamelessly humiliated her, makes a story that holds the atttention of the spectator until the last scene. A} warning to careless lovers can be drawn from Miss Davies’ picture, TEN REASONS FOR WIRE'S.UNHAPPINESS | That wealth is ' not’evety- +: thing in married life and that - the possession of it does not happiness is demon- stated by the'separation shit ht by Mrs. race 'P. Van her hus band; an_ easy task ‘o00upy rookeries, -and in the height of the breoding season the big bulls are par- ticularly pugnacious.

They are then allowed to dis- perse, and as ttey maka off in lines they are counted. A A A “LADIES MUST LivE" I5 N COMING TO THE ELKO “Ladies diust Live,” a delightful Paramount picture produced by the iate George Loane Tucker, who pro- | duced “T'he Miracle Man,” wili be tic | feature at the Elko theater next Sun- | day, Monday and Tuesday. Betty | Compson, the -beautiful Paramount | star, is the featured player and in the ‘cast are many screen. favorites.. Alice Duer Miller is author of the story. “THE RIGHT THAT FAILED"” AT THE GRAND TONIGHT Preliminary because of its quality ‘of he-Americanism, Metro’s new spe- cial “The Right That Failed” should onjoy a popularity without class limi- tations. It radiates certain ideals of manliness through a. love story of an accopted - type, - that will no doubt coincide with the cherished standards of every member of the representative American. family. At the same time the opportunity for 'humor has not'been: overlooked and in fact it is the predominating light- ness of treatment attached to a theme full of possibilities for the comedy- writer that makes this feature the best in which Bert Lytell has starred for some time. The introduction of the prize ring and the corresponding characters into ctures is a modern tendency that g probably never proved a greater succoss than in this feature.' When a champion boxer finds that his great rowess which has won him unparal- eled recognition. among men counts for worse than nothing with the one fair lady, the situation of his helpless- ness and miscalculations is pictures- ue and amusing to say the least. For &e first time ‘his fists are of no use. But the usual takes place and the feminine admiration for physical fit- ness is once more the conclusive fac- tor in a three-angled love affair. i Bert Lytell, as the squarejawed, unpolished lover, gives an imperson- ation that will no doubt surprise many who have followed his work. He is fully convincing in registering a far greater ease in the bout than in the love arbor. Virginia Valli, it might bo said is a personality and an actress who would ‘inspird & vis-a vis. Good direction, attractive settings and the comic illustrations increase tho sell- ing value. “The Strap, Hanger,” a new two- part comedy completes the program.
