“THE VERMILION PENCIL" _*" AT THE GRAND TUESDAY A volcano bursting into smoke and flame as it spews out its fiery torrent ‘of molten lava. = Buildings mslung into fragments as the earth rocks and, sends huge structures tot- tering to the ground. Fleeing na- tives” rushing for safety and being ‘ overtaken by the flaming flood. This is‘but a brief word-picture of one of the big scenes in Sessue Hayakawa’s production, “The Vermilion' Peneil,” which comes to the Grand theater e Tuesday and Wednesday, and which many critics insist is the greatest thrill ‘picture of the year. Bessie Love and Ann May appear in sup- port-of Mr. Hayakawa. ADDED ATTRACTION AT ; GRAND THEATER TUESDAY An added attraction at the Grand tomorrow and Wednesday evening; will be charming dance numbers by La Verna Dugas, talented little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dugas. La Verna’s performance in California, present home of the Du- gas family, are much sought after by those acquainted with her capa- bility to entertain, £ “IS MATRIMONY A FAILURE?” i’ AT GRAND THEATER TONIGHT Is Matrimony A Failure? % The question isn’t answered in the § new_ Paramount special comedy of that name which shows at the Grand theater last times tonight, but it is:discussed in some of the most de- ; Jightful laugn-provoking episodes ! | { that have been seen on the screen for some time. 5 T. Roy Barnes heads the excellent cast ;which dincludes some of the most prominent present day screen favorites, such as Lila Lee, Lois Wilson, Walter Heirs, ZaSu Pitts, Arthur Hoyt, Lillian Leighton, Tul- ly: Marshall, Adolphe Menjou and Sylvia Ashton. “GOING STRAIGHT” AT GRAND -THEATER AGAIN TONIGHT Were photoplays ever like that? Such is the expression of the latter day picture fans who see Mary Pick- for and King Baggot in “Going Straight” a picture of 1910 which is at the Grand theater last times tonight as a special attraction. ](mg Baggot was then a plctnre idol and Little Mary looked older in that pic- ture than she does in her latest. The production is a revelation and it shows that the profession has made wonderfud . strides in photography, direction, - expression and continuity. “Going Straight” was a tragedy in 1910.\ In 1922 it is a screaming comedy. i t | ! “THE ROSARY” AT THE REX % TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY i A Jewish merchant, an old retired i sea captain and a priest. These are three of the outstand- ing characters in “ The Rosary,” the special SeligrRork feature at- traction, founded on the stage play by Edward E. Rose and the immortal song of the same name, which will be screened at the Rex theater on Tuesday and Wednesday. On the front porch of Fath:r Brian' Kelley these three old cronies gather and discuss the problems and make plans for the happiness and prosperity of the little fishing vil- lage of Sandy Bay. There are no racial or religious predjudices in this little group. They are ‘one in striving toward that long sought goal the brotherhood of man. Lewis S. Stone is said to give a mangificient characterization as the fine upstanding Father Kelley, while ‘the. work of Bert Woodruff as the crusty old Captain Mather, and Dore Davidson as Isaac Abrahamson, the merchant, is declared to represent the best thcy have yet given to the screen. According to advance reports, “The Rosary” not only presents some remarkable character sketches, but it.is also one of the most powerful romantic photodramas of the year. “The (Rosary?Y is ,an Associated First National release. “HILLS OF MISSING MEN" AT THE ELKO TONIGHT J. P. McGowan will keep you guessing at the Elko theater last showing tonight, when he is starred in his new Playgoers feature, ‘“The Hills of Missing Men.” 'Is he the Drlzon, an escaped bandit of notor- . iqus. character? Or is he a spy sent by‘‘the Government to those ' ‘dan- grous hills of mssing men to catch ando, the Dangerous Dreamer, and ‘frustrate his daring plan to capture - Lower California? . “The Hills of Missing Men” is full ol ro\lzh-ndmg and hard fighting, and also of dramatic moments fill- .d. with suspense. A charming ro- mance is woven throughout. The cast supporting Mr. Gowan includes +his wife, Helenw Holmes, returning « to the screen after a considerable .absence, and Florence Gilbert, Jean "Perry, Andrew Waldron and others. “MADONNAS AND MAN” AT "ELKO TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY ."'Madonnas and Man” is a tensely dramatic story of ancient Rome and modern New York, In the Roman Coliseum at the begmmng of the ‘Christian era the Emperor Turnur- ius with his favorite, Nerissa, watches the bestial games in the grena. His son Gordian, is asked by +3rimaldo, magician, to save the life of a Christian girl about to be Uthrown to the lions.

The Roman char- acters are reincarnated and travel through intensely ' dramatic - situa- tions. The Prince is deeply affected and intervenes as requested. i The cast is an all-star. The work of Evan Burrows Fontaine, | Ed- mond Lowe, Faire Binney, Anders Randolf, Gustav von Seyffertitz and Raye Dean being exceptionally good. B. A. Rolfe, the director, has never made a_better picture than this one, few directors have, and in it he proves that he takes high rank among the present day producers of photodramas. The two stories; ‘the ancient and the modern, are tensely told, with even continuity and can be followed with unabated interest.

An indispensable condition of such adjust- ment, however, is that the men shall resume work on the-basis fixed by the United States Labor Board in its recent decision. Desiring to protect former employes in their seniority rights, the Management has avoided employing new men or the fixing of any def- inite date on which these rights would expire. The time hns now ar- rived when this action can no longer be’ ‘deferred. D Former employes who left our service on or: aiter July lst 1922, and who return to work by 10 o’clock in the forenoon of. Tuesday, July 18, 1922, will retain their seniority rights. Those who afiply after that hour, if accepted, will rank as new employes, L . W.H. GEMMEL General’ Manager.
