In his E. Phillips Oppenheim story “Dangerous Lies”” which comes to the Elko theatér tonight last time Director Paul Powell has had exceptionally fine chances to give his subject those little touches of local atmosphere and colour which éan vitalize even the drabbest sub- ject and make it true and real. There are big contrasts in ‘Mr. + Oppenheim’s story. Some of ~ the scenes depict the homes of wealth and leisure, others’ in humble en-: vironment. It is in the choice of the exteriors required for such scenes that Mr. Powell has shown a fine eense of the ‘national psychology. YNORTH OF THE RIO.
