Then they halted to bundle themselves tighter against the cold :hiast that was coming from without. iOn—to the wouth of the mine, Then ‘thfl stopped—short. A figure showed In the darkness, on horseback. An electric flashlight suddenly flared against the glenm of the carbide. An exclamation, an ex- cited command to the horse, and the rider wheeled, rushing down the moun- tain side, urging his mount to dan- gerous leaps, sending him plunging through arifts where a misstep might mean death, fleeing for the main road again. Anita Richmond screamed: “That's Maurice! I got a glimpse of his face! He's gotten away—go after. him -somebody—go after him!”, But it was useless. The horseman had made the road and was speeding down it. Rushing ahead of the oth- ers, Fairchild gained a point of vant- age where he could watch the fading black smudge of the horse and rider as it went on and on along the rocky road, finally .to reach the main thor- oughfare and turn swiftly, Then he went back to-join the others. “He's taken the Center City road!” came his announcement. “Is there a turn-off on it anywhere?” “No.” Anita gave the answer. “It goes straight through—but he'll have a hard - time making it there in this blizzard. If we only had horses!” “They wouldn't do us much good now! Climb on my back. You can handle these two men alone?” This to his partner. The Cornishman gruiit- ed. “Yes, Why?” “I'm golng to take Miss Richmond and hurry ahead to the sheriff’s office, He might not believe me. But he'll take her word—and that'll be sufficient until you get there with the prisoners, I've got to persuade him to telephone to Center City and head off the Ro- dalnes!” They won't start anything. Continued in next issue “THE OATH” AT THE REX THURSDAY AND FRIDAY “The Ooath,” the R. A. Walsh pro- duction for Associated First Nation- al Pictures, Inc., which opens at Rex theater Thursday for a two days’ showing, contains a scene which has been hailed by critics as being the most dramatic that has ever been filmed or staged. A series of fast moving, interesting circumstances has involved Hugh Colman in a' sit- uation where his conviction for mur- der is absolutely certain unless he breaks an oath given to his wife when he had secretly married. But there is another woman whom he has loved. Although her love has been given to his dearest chum, she makes the greatest sacrifice a woman can make to save Hugh from the gal-| lows and succeeds. The scene is one of the strongest ever put into a mo- tion picture production, and the tangled net which results from her action in the lives of four persons orovides a most absorbing double love story. “CROSSROADS OF NEW YORK” AT REX THEATER TONIGHT The ‘“Crossroads of New York” the Mack Sennett special which is being released by First National, won the highest praise from the news- paper critics when it was' shown at Los Angeles, “Under the two column heading “Film is Rich in Satire,” the Los Angeles Herald says: “A more en- tertaining, kickful picture has not come from the Sennett fun factory sinee the beautiful and subtle Mickey and Molly O! Many of you may en- joy “The Crossroads” even better than you did the two latter. Clever howling burlesquerie it all is and the carefully selected cast ‘put it over’ with nary a miss. The satire is keen as a saftey razor blade. “The Crossroads of New York” is a picture you can see more than once and will relish its flavor. This picture will be seen at. the Rex theater again tonight. A “BEYOND THE ROCKS" AT GRAND THEATER TONIGHT, “An ideally am-nchve heorme and | hero.”’ LAVLE Thus does ‘Ehnnr G]ynn, famous British novelist, characterize Gloria Swanson the star and Rodolph Val- cntino, leading man .in *‘ueyond the Rocks” a superh: Perdfnount feature which comes to the Grand theater for showing again tonight. Madam Glyn made a rush trip from Europe to Hollywood in twelve days, for the purpose of aiding and assisting’ director Sam Wood in the making of the mew picture, which was adapted from one of her most popular novels, “It scems good to see you all again —after the many pleasant memories of “The Great Moment” smiled Miss | “COLLEEN OF THE PINES” AT Swanson. It will be recalled that tlut picture was also based on one o! Madam Glyn’s stories. The noted novelist remnmed on the set every day. until the picture was completed, giving many valu- able suggestions drawn from . her knowledge of the places and people concerned and from the fact that she, being the author had visualized exactly the characters she had drawn. _THE ELKO THEATER TONIGHT Smashing drsma_a b,l; l;eart in- terest . combine, to make, ane Nov- ,|aK’s first, big R-C praduction a pic- {ture of unusually strong a eal to all classes. of theater goers. It is scheduled for showing at the Elko theater, last. time this evenmg The element of ‘self sacrifice on the part of a elder sxster for tne younger forms the theme of this unusually powerful tale of the open spaces of the Northwest. The picture has abundant thrills, one of which is a hand to hand conflict between frontiersmen in a cabin and-the sud- den and dramatic appearance of a dog who carires off a big share of the honors. Critics are hailing “Col- leen of the Pines” as - a personal triumph for Miss Novak. “BACK PAY” AT THE ELKO TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY Succeeding “‘Humodesquel” ‘and “Just Around the Corner” another Fannie Hurst story will be seen on the screen at the Elko theater Tues- day and Wednesday. This is “Back Pay” created by Cosmopolitan pro- ductions for Paramount. A story of a country girl’s adventures in a gay circle in New York, it pictures the, triumph of steadiast love over evil surroundings. Sena Owen and Matt Moore play leading parts. J. Barney Sherry, Ethel Duray and Charles Craig have important roles to which they lend dignity and sterling abil- ity.

In “Head over Hecls” she is cast as a foreign acrobat with a flaring temperament. And never once in the course of her encounters 'with e representatives of a strange civ- tion does she balk at being the circus periormer to the life. How- ever, there are gentle moments also for Miss' Normand in this photoplay for the ignorant acrobati blossoms into a sweet girlish personality whose lovely eyes and captivating manner: have much to do with solving the problem of her career. ported by an excellent. cast including Hugh Thompson, Russ.

C. Use Birds for Smuggling Drugs. The use of carrier pigeons as co- caine smugglers—‘snow birds” in the literal sense of the word—is the latest device for introducing the drug from Germany into France. The pigeons are released from various points along the German frontier and alight in Nancy, each carrying quite appre- ciable amounts of the narcotic. ) The greed of the smugglers in over- loading one bird, which fell exhaust- ed in the Meuse district, caused the undoing of the smugglers and the ar- rest of several. This pigeon carried 15 grammes, or about a half ounce, of the drug in small packages, sewed to " the feathers of the bird, and not. tied to the leg, as Is customary in the car- rving of messages.
