Slowly he" drifted toward the island’s shore. He took hold of a cane root and pulled the nose of the canoe hard into the bank. ‘Then he got out, parting the atift and stubborn cane in a shade as dease as night. But now through this parting hallway he could see sunlight béyond, and knew that he was about to-come into an open space. And out into it he looked with a start; for there, a few feet from the edge of the fringe of ‘cane, stood a small house made of minute shells cemented—peri- ‘winkles. “Its roof was of thatch, the long rushes gathered from the swamp; and about the door' was a cypress vine, its: red blooms dazzling In the sun.

This famous photoplay wi'] ‘be shown. again tonight and tomorrow and indications are that each shownig will be attended by capacity crowds. This is one of the most expensive pictures which the Rex theatre has ever shown here. However, popular prices are being charged so that all picture fans may have an opportunity to see it. “CARDIGAN” AT THE GRAND TO AID LEGION HOSPITAL Under the auspices of the local stare.

Griffith film of the season, recognized as one of the five biggest photoplays of the year, .is'showing again today and tomorrow at the Rex theatre. In booking this show in order to give its patrons an vpportun- ity to see the best film of the day the Rex theater has encountered a very expensive production, However it will be shown at popular prices that every film fan in the city and surrounding country may have an op- portunity to see it. In putting the price low on this film, the Rex feels that it would rather show to all fans at a nominal price than to show to a part of them at the prices asked for this show in the larger cities. “Orphans of the Storm” is Grif- fith’s biggest production to date- The cast is one of the strongest ever assembled, for a single picture. Agam the two Gish sisters are to be seen in the same film. Lillian and Dorothy Gish as co-stars are support- ed by Joseph Schildkraut, Frank Lo- see, Catherine Emmett, Lucile La- Verne, Sheldon Lewls. Morgan Wal- |night to an enth lace, Frank Pugl Leslie King, Monte Blue, bert, Leo Kolmeri, ‘Adolphe Lestina and Kate Bruce. Out of 300 actors and actresses who tried for places in the picture, those who now appear in the film are those who qualified in the struggle for the survival of the fittest. Few who see the “Orphans of the Storm” will appreciate the huge task and vast detail necessary in the film- ing of such a gigantic spectacle. Those who have seen it on the screen declare that this: picturization ~of Kate Claxton’s famous 'stage classic is without equal on the ser today. The picture comes to_ Bemidji highly recommended by long and successful runs in all the larger cities, many of which are still showing at prices ranging near a dollar. “THE STORM” AT ELKO THEATRE AGAIN TONIGHT Setting a new pace for the screen in. realism and downright thrills in the same manner the original pro- duction ‘did on the lcgitimate stage, “The Storm” opened its local engage- (ment at the Elki catre Sturday tic and apprec- iative audience.
