l | ! | i AT THEATRES “VIRTUOUS SINNERS” AT THE REX THEATER THUSRAY | Wanda Hawley, who appeared M% leading lady with Douglas Fairbanks, | ‘was the star of many Lasky produc-| tions, and who is being featured by De Mille, plays the leading role in! “*Virtuous Sinners,” the out of the or-! dinary photodrama to be shown at} the Rex theater Thursday. Norman) Kerry, Mary Pickford’s former lead-| ing man, and a player who appeared | opposite. Constance Talmadgec for over a year and in the same capacity for Marion Davies, has the leading| male role. The story is one of deep, absorbing interest, touching all class- es_of society.” ] ER}Y HEARTS” AT REX TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY In order to secure a proper cave to be used as a setting in ‘‘Western | Hearts,” the photodrama offcred at the Rex theater today and Wednes-| day, Cliff Smith sent five location men | into the great woods of the west. This | film, whicly co-stars Art Staton and Josie Sedgwick, is erected upon aj story that fits the young and old for! it grips and thrills. Two weeks were consumed in ob- taining the proper background for| the picture. { The working script call- | ed for a cave 50 feet,deep and must | have an opening by which the men | who were to raid the place could fower themselves into the den of the rustlers. Such a cave that fitted the interior description wag found but no open- ing. Smith personally went to the location and after a short observation said the cave would do. He sent for| 20 pounds of odynamite and aided with a crew of men, soon had the| cave just to his liking. | “THE GREAT DAY" AT THE | ELKO LAST TIME TONIGHT ! ' §f you haven't seen “The Great| Duy,” wnicn 1s now on view at the Elko theater, you have missed a gen- uine treat. T is u powerful pho-| toplay well played by an all star Brit-, ish cast and there isn’t a dull moment throughout the action which trans- pires in_England, France and in the Alps. The last showings today start at 7:30 and 9 this evening. The story deals with a young knglishman | who invents a steel process for the | possession of which rival nations! are clamoring and this forms the basis of a tremendously intereting narrative. Of course, there is a‘, charming and appealing love story. A company composed of famous artists of the British stage, portray| the various roles. These include Arthur Bourchier, Bertram Burleigh, | Marjorie Hume, May Palfrey and) Meggic Albanesi, “THE LOVE CHARM” AT ELKO TOMORROW AND THURSDAY Modern men better watch their| steps, unless they wish to find them- selves wooed, won and married with-| out ever realizing how it all lmpmn-% ed. For modern science has come to the aid of the never particularly help- less modern maid, and now, armed with the most invincible of weapons, a working knowledge of psycho- analytical principles, she possesses al- most uncanny power over the poor helpless male, gy finding out what most appealed to & man when he was an impression- able little boy and making herself a symbol of that person or thing, the modern meid quickly, ‘reduces the most aloof male to a state of com- plete subjugation. R . All this modern magic is amusing- | ly shown in Wanda Hawley's latest photoplay, “The Love Charm” in which a” demure- young woman, by cleverly suggesting memories of a| young man’s mother to him, wins his | eart. . “The Love Charm” will open to-| morrow at the Elko theater for a, two day run. i HAD TO HAVE ALL OUTDOORS!

David More- lend's wife had left him with a baby only a few weeks old, which 1 didn’t pay any particular attention to until that morning, that black morningz. At that time there was no other house child thére to die of starvation, after killing its father. So I went back and got the baby, and all its clothing, and took it away with me. I left it at al farmhouse down in the lowland, and went te another city, and started life afresh. . . . “But later T married, and shortly atter that I went to the farmer and ersuded bim to let we adopt the child. I brought it up as my own, and educated it, as a sort of compensation, And I cawe to love it. But it was years before wmy wife loved It., She didn't like childrén then. But she does now. She is paying now, and 1 am paying. Don't yon understand, Bill— don't you understand?’ . There was a choke fn his voice to- ward the last. Bill Dale ‘went to bis feet. His eyes were wide, but he did not seem unhappy; and for that Eliza- beth was grateful. John Moreland sat as still, with bis bearded, viking face as expressionless as though he had knowrr it ‘all along. “And so I-really am Iin my own country!” cried Bill Dale. “1 am a Moreland, and the Morclands really are my own people!” “Yes, you are in_your own country, and you aré a Moreland—and your baby name was David,” said John K. Dale. It was then that John Moreland €poke. - “Bill, when I fust sced you, you made me think o’ my brother the day he was married. I ain’t never fo'got that. -I sartainly ain’t sw’prised none at all. We didn’t know about the baby. Cherokee Joe told me the baby had died.” “And now, son,” pleaded old Dale, his voice breaking, ‘say that you for- give me.” Bill Dale, David Moreland’s boy, knelt beside the old sheepskin-lined rocker, took the old coal king's hand in both his own and bent bhis head over it, “It's all right,” he said thickly. “It's all right.,” Elizabeth Littleford arose and stole blindly out of the house. Her foot- steps led her, quite without her real- | izing where she was going, across the meadow and to the river above the blown-down sycamore. And there on that sacred spot, where she had first felt Ler lecart leap at the sound of BIl Dale’s voice, she sank down in a heap in the snow and cried, and cried. Twilight was gathering rapidly, but she did not notice it. She did not notie, either, that the air was grow- Ing steadily colder witle the approach of the meountain night. To her a warm sun was shining above in a ! bright blue vault; to her the spirit of summer was everywhere; in lier cars there was the liquid song of a meadow lark, the sweet twittering of wood- thrushes, the low humming of wild bees. The pouring of the crystal wa- ters between the two boulders above the pool made music to her, and blend- ed with it she seemed to hear the veice of a big, clean, strong man— “I was thinking of the difference he- tween you and some other women I kpow.” Then a ray of hope shone into her heart. Bill Dale was really a More- tand and, therefore, of the hill blood even as she was of the hill blood, and that should wmake them wore nearly equal. She told herself thathe wouldn’t be so apt to condemn her for being able to take a human life ecasily as one of another blood would be; he would be more apt to understand. And yet, the women he had kuown were gentle, tender and refined, like, for in- stance, Patficia McLaurin. Soon the ray of hope dled within her, and she bent her head and sobbed again. One of her bare hands besan to grope 1dly in the snow at her side, and she did not feel the cold. Suddenly she realized that her hand was full of shavings, whittlings. Some man had been sitting there whittling with a pocket knife—it must have been a wman, for who ever heard of a woman whittling? She felt In the snow iith both hands, and found more whittlings —there - were bushels of whittlings, it seemed to her, Iying there uvnder the SNOW. Then she wondered—wondered who it could have been. It was quite dark now, but the moon was not yet up.

She heard the muf- fled sounds of slow masculine foot- steps in the snow behind her. She did not turn her head. In her soul she knew it could be but one man, Bill Dale’s head was down, and he meved as though he neither knew nor cared whither he went, Then he saw the dark heap on the river’s bank be- fore him, and he halted. He knew in | his soul that it could be but one wom- | an. ' Dale weut on aund sat down on a| stone ‘the size of a swall barrel that | lay at the river’s rim. | “Babe?” lie said. It was the mating | call of his heart in the springtime of his life. “Who d-done all o' this whittlin', Bill?” asked Elizabeth, “I did,” softly. “But 1 thought you were so busy bere! It’s unobody but Idlers, of the tihwe it's nobody buc idlers that whittles.” £ “But I'm not busy on Sundays, ¥ know,” replied Dale. “Tell me this,” FElizabeth asked pointedly: “What made you come to this ome spot to do your whittlin’? Couldn’t you whittle up there in my daddy’s cabin yard?” He answered her unhesitatingly: “Because I like to be here. This place is a shrine to me. It was here that T | loved you, Babe. Now you tell me this: Why did you come to this particular spot to sit down in the snow? There's snow in your dad- dy’s cabin yard!” Said Elizabeth, in a'voice that sound- ed smothered: “Because I like to be here—this place is ‘a shrine to me, too—it was here that I first loved you, Bill Dale!” “Then why,” he:demanded, “won’t you marry me?” y “Because it was'me that shot—Ad- am Ball,” i s She went on, and though - ewotion had set every fibre'of her to guivering, | she did not fall into the old hill tulk, which was proof of the magnificence of her: ‘ . “I thought you wouldw't want me If you'kunew that:X did that,'and I couldn’t marry you ‘without telling you. But you koow unow! And do what- ever you feel like dding or saying, you can’t hurt me; I dan pever be hurt any—any m-w-m-more—" Bill Dale shot erect. Truly, this was a day of surprises for him. He stooped and caught her up. “A real woman!” he said bhappily, straightening with ler in his arms. *. real, all gold, pure gold woman!
