It again appears at the Elko tonight, also Tuesday matinee and_evening. . “Ladies Must Live,” is presented as » Paramount special. The story is adapted from Alice Duer Mlllex:’s novel which appeared originally in serial form in the Saturday Evening Post. The theme centers around one of the most widely discussed proo- lems of the day and vitally concerns every. American woman. The homes of varied human types are shown with that careful attention to detail which placed George Loane Tucker’s name as producet on an en- during pedestal of fame. The story is deeply appealing and in its presen- tation, &n augmented cast of capable players worked to excellent advant- age. Betty Compson, now a Para- mount star, had the leading feminine role. Besides Miss Compson, the cast includes such well knowh screen fav- orites as Leatrice Joy, Lucille Hutton, Marcia Manon, Lule Warrenton, Cleo Madison, Robert Ellis, Mahlon Ham- ilton, Jack Gilbert, Snitz Edwards, Arnold Gregg, Jack McDonald, Wil- liam Mong and Gibson Gowland. “REMODELING HER HUSBAND” AT ELKO THEATER WEDNESDAY Dorothy Gish uses novel methods to bring back a flirtatious young hus- band to the straight and narrow in her vivacious screen comedy, “Re- modeling Her Husband” which will be shown' at the Elko theater next Wednesday. Lillian Gish directed the picture, which is a Paramount Art- craft, and James Rennie was the leading man| “TO PLEASE ONE WOMAN" AT ELKO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY “To Please One Woman,” the chief film attraction at the Elko theater next Thursday and Friday, will not only please all the women, but the men as well. It is singularly appeal- ing story of small town life and the havoc wrought by the influence of a selfish woman of the ‘‘vampire” type that is unfolded in Lois Weber’s lat- est production. Miss Weber posses- ses_the heppy faculty of portraying with dramatic skill some of the phases of' our social life that other screen producers have thus far overlooked. Claire Windsor, Mona Lisa, and Ed- ward Burns-enact the principal roles. “HER MAD BARGAIN" AT THE REX THEATER TUESDAY “Her Mad Bargain,” announced as the coming attraction at the Rex theater next week, is Anita Stewart’s new First National attraction. The stai’s recognized ability as an actress of what 'is termed the . sympathetic type is given full play and her fashionable wardrobe more than proves her right to the title of * Yw Smartest Dressed Girl on the Screen.” Miss Stewart's career in “Her Mad Bargain” ranges in social strata from the inner circle of society to the humble position of artist’s model. The role is admirably suited ot her natural beauty and grace and in it she is given opportunity for dramatic scenes that fairly hold one spell- bound. The story was prepared for the screen by Josephine Quirk. Supporting Miss Stewart is_an all- stor cast includingt Walter McGrail, Arthur Edmund Carew, Gertrude Astor, Adele Farrington Ernest But- terworth, Margaret McWade and William Badger. “OPEN YOUR EYES" AT REX THEATER THURSDAY “Open Your Eyes,” the flaming photoplay prepared under the super- vision of the United States Public Health Service as part of a campaign for a clean nation and a country made safe for posterity, comes to the Rex theater on Thursday and Friday. This picture has attracted wide atten- tion, and created a veritable sensa- tion among educators and public offi- cials in every city where it has been 1In addition to telling a throb- bing, living story of love betrayed, “Open Your Eyes,” is a picture with a purpose. Vibrant with dramatic _power, it gets in under the skin of the spectators and while it entertains and thrills, it leaves a sobering thought behind. g Briefly, “Open Your Eyes,” is the story of two girls, both young, beau- tiful and innocent, just budding into young womanhood. One finds her mother all that a mother should be. Her questions are frankly and sensi- bly answered, and consequently she is able to avoid the pitfalls that lie in the pathway of youth. The other, less fortunate finds her mother too busy with social duties to listén to, her daughter’s :questions, and whe)| the lonely girl turns to companions of her own age for:knowledge( she)| gets it at first hand from a handsome “rounder” young in years but old in wisdom of the ways ofzthe world. The contract: between, the careers of the two girls. one protected and shielded from. the dangers that lie about her by a wonderful mother; and the other “going it blind,” as so many young men »nd women do i Jife, makes a powerful and domanti story, especially when the ‘‘rounder,’ after bringing shame and suffering upon ove, becomes engaged to the other. How frankness saves the in- nocent girl from a terrible fate on her wedding eve makes one of the strongest and most thrilling_scenes cver staged. Interwoven with this romentic story is a vivid warning to parents young manhood and young NEWS OF THE THEATRES MO N |“THE ROUGH DIAMOND™" AT REX THEATER TODAY 1f Tom, Mix, the popular F'ox star, should ' announce *within .= the . next few weeks that he intended to "pluck the moon . from: its 'fastening %, it is reasonable to believe that'all ot his great host of::admirers ‘who, ruave seen his latest William Fox proghuc- tion, “The Rough Diamond,” wou !d expect him to . accomplish that fea t. For in “The Rough Diamond,” whici"t opened last night at the Rex theater,. they have seen Mix not only do thd unexpected, but. the - unthought-of. They have seen their favorite star cast aside his chaps and six-shooters —his favorite - western * stamping ground—everything that they fortn- erly identified him with except ®is faithful and famous horse Tony, arid Tom Mix playing the part of an ex- ing into a dashing cavalier and dare- devil, following the flashing eyes and the bewitching smile of a blonde senorita, even across the sea to a lit- tle tropical republic where he not well—wins both in the gold braid} and uniform of a generalissimo. “The Rough Diamond,” as seen at the Rex theater, brings new fame to the already large portion that Mix has accummulatede It sends one! away believing that nothing in histoi- rnic art is impossible for him teo achieve. It establishes him supreme on the screen as the perfect type of gentleman adventurer; for juaging from this latest, picture, Mix is at home in any situation, in any part; he is an actor—and a finished and versatile one at that. “THE PENALTY” RETURNING | FOR ONE DAY AT GRAND Goldwyn's picture, “The Penalty” written by Gouromen Morris, and starring Lon Chaney in his most forceful icharacterization. of “Bliz- zard,” the half a man with helf a soul is to be shown on Wednesday only at the Grand theater. “ALL’S FAIR IN LOVE,” AT GRAND TONIGHT A delightful comedy with May Col-! lins, the new meteor of screen world, in the leading feminine role, will be seen at the Grand theater for two days, beginning tonight, when “All's Fair In Love” a new Goldwyn “)icturc, is presented. Thompson Bu- chanan, author of”many successful stage plays, is the author. The pho- toplay was directed by k. Mason Hop, per. Miss Collins is the seventen year old leading lady who, it has been rumored, is to marry Charlie Chaplin some time at the end of the year. She has appeared in several Broad- way stage productions, and has had considerable experience as a stock company actress. R . In “All's Fair In Love,” Richard Dix, who was starred in “Dangerous Curves - Ahead,” plays the leading male role opposite Miss Collins. ' Hi manly bearing and his genuine abil- ity as an actor, add immeasurably to any picture in which he appears. The comedy develops around a young girl with a fixed idea that her new husband is in the clutches of a vamp, and tries herself to play the part that she thinks will keep him forever. The muddle in which she finds herseif gives rise to many unusual and laugh- able episodes. - = Spot Forever Famous.

But Bill Dale was in- tensely human, and to be human is to be unworthy. . It turned cold that night. A little before noon of the next day, By Heck stepped into the Moreland Coal com- pany’s oftice. Dale looked wearily up from his lit- tered desk. ] “I am very much obliged to you for shooting Adam Ball, By.” “It's h—I1, Bill, ain't 1t?” “What?” Heck leaned over and rested his Knotty hands on the muzzle of the in- evitable rifle. “Whatever it is you're a-gri about, o’ course.

DId you, or did you not, kill Adam Ball to save me?” By Heck realized that he would have to be very cunning if he evaded the question now. Bill Dale, his gol, ‘would vot be put. off longer. So By Heck answered: “T wisht I may drap dead this minute and turn into a cros «1 mink with a green tail and pink eyes; I wisht the devil may take me and spend ten thousand etarnltles a-sticking’ red-hot, pepper- coated pitchforks in me and not let me have any tobacker; I wisht I may. be struck ‘blind - and deef and dumb and paralyzed and ha' my tongue cut ont and my ears and toe-nails tore off—ef I killed Adam Ball to save you or anybody else.” And then, having answered, he fav- ored Dale with an odd 100k, took up his rifle: and -strode out of the office humming: “When 1 die, don’t bury :ne deep Put no tombstone at my head and feet Put a bear's Jawbone in my right ‘hand—"" “But he's the biggest liar in the state,” muttered Dale, turning back to his desk.

John K. Dale and his wife had gone into the library with Elizabeth at her request. The three sat down facing each other. The younger woman was i 111 at case; she was glad that the lights were subdued and soft. When the silence had beecome heavy, she straight- ened in her chair and blurted out fal- teringly : i “Bill asked me to m-marry him, and 1 wouldn’t do it. I—T thought maybe 1—I ought to tell you.” The Dales exchanged slances: then they looked back at Elizabeth Little- ford. Dale swmiled a fatherly smile. Mrs. Dale’s ey narrowed. The old stiffness rose within her and began to make stubborn war against her more recently acquired common sense. “Have you quarreled?” she asked. “No.” ! “Well,” old Dale said bluntly, “what’s wrong?’ 1 “It isn’t his fault,” Elizabeth told them. “I'm a savage,” she went on desperately—*and he isn’t my kind.” John K. Dale retired very early that night. When the sound of his foot- steps had died away, his wife bent to- ward Elizabeth and said curiously: “Why did you call yourself a sav- age?” Elizabeth told_of her early life in the hills,-of the feud between her peo- ple and the Morelands and of how she had hated the bloodshed. She told of the coming of Major Dradley, of her burning thirst fur education, of th 1 trainman who had thrown her a news- paper each day, and of the coming of Bill Dale. . v “I was lonefome,” she continued, | “and nobody e¢ver seemed to under- stand how I 18l "That Is, until Bilt Dale came.
