| R o R T T ) p H + 5 ¥ ¥ “WEST OF CHICAGO” AT THE GRAND THEATRE THURSDAY Coming to the Grand theatre for two days starting Thursday, is a new Fox picture, ‘starring Charles Jones. Iy is called “West of ‘Chicago” Sup- porting Jones is the vivacions, win- some Renee Adoree whose acting in Fox productions of late has been _.the subject of a great. deal of very gomplimentary comment. ‘According to advance motices, this photoplay is filled with thrills. The action takes place near the Mexican border. In previous photoplays, Charles Jones’ acting has been particularly noteworthy. If all ths other ele- ments required to make a good mo- tion picture are on a par with the work of this star, a night of real en- tertainment is assured theatre-goers. “WITHOUT FEAR” AT THE GRAND THEATRE TONIGHT Is America truly democratic? How many generations must have passed tefore the family of a newly-made millionaire can get inside the bar- riers society arbitrarily erects? Is money ‘any open sesame to “select” circles?. Is a man who becomes wealthy over night entitled to enter the . best ‘clubs? What is the social standing . of man who becomes wealthy .suddenly compared to that of a man who works not but lives on an,inheritance handed down for generations? These are some of the many ques- tions .brought to mind by the new ‘William Fox picture “Without Fear”. starring Pearl White which will run at the Grand theater again tonight. What is the standing of a girl who defies the “rules” of society and goes over to a wealthy but democrat- ic suitor not in the “best society?” This is another question in “Without Fear’y “BRAWN OF THE NORTH” AT GRAND THEATRE SATURDAY brrongfleart the wonderful police dog who sprang into such prominence as a motion picture star in “The Silent Call” has made another mo- tion' picture which is coming to the Grand theatre for an engagement of two days beginning next Saturday.. It is,a Lawrence Trimble-Jane Mur- fin production entitled, “Brawn of the North,” a Flrst. National' attrac- tion. The story is most unusual from the standpoint of thrilling action and of tense emotional scenes. It is a story of a dog’s faithfulness and loyalty to his mistress, a loyalty that sur- mounts all natural instinets. “CHOOSE YOUR WEAPONS” PROVES FAST COMEDY Gathering speed with every foot of fim .unwound, ‘Choose -Your Weapons,” a two-part Educational comedy showing for the last time to- night at:the Elko theatre, proved to be a real fun-maker, as was evidnced by the huge enjoyment of the audi- ence who saw it last evening. “BURNING SANDS” AT THE ELKO THEATRE SUNDAY A tremendous set, representing a street in Cairo, is shown in George Melford’s splendid production df “Burning Sands.” Though nearly a half mile long, it would not he re- markable except for the fact that its full extent is used, in night scenes which involves the intensive use of most of the sun-arc’ lamps of the Paramount studio, as well as extra motor-generator sets above the three owned by the studio. The “nighb-lighzing" of such an area entails a great expenditure of power, but its full effect is strikingly seen in this Paramount picture, which comes to the Elko theatre next Sunday and which features Wanda Hawley and Milton Sills. “DESERT GOLD” AT THE ELKO THEATRE ON THURSDAY ONLY “Pesert Gold,” Zane Grey’s popu- lar romance which is now being pub- lished in the Pioneer in serial form, will be given a return showing at the Elko theatre Thursday only. Those who are reading the story in the Pioneer are expected to turn out for this picture as well as others who failed to see it when it was shown here before. This is an ex- ceptionally strong story and an ex- ceptionally strong picture, strong cnough to warrant ‘reading and see- ing on the screen as well. — “GRAND LARCENCY” AT ELKO THEATRE AGAIN TONIGHT “Grand Larcency,” a Goldwyn pic- ture, is the new offering showing at the Elko theatre for the last time tonight. It is a story of two men and a woman, by Albert Payson Terhune, in which one of the men commits what the other calls an act of grand larcency in stealing the affections of the other’s wife. A novel twist to this type of society story is intro- duced by ‘he attitude of the woman, who is the innocent victim of what is apparently a chain of evil looking circumstances. The story, which iwas written by Albert-Payson Tethune is beautifully presented by an excellent cast, in- cluding Claire Windsor, one of the latest “finds”, Elliott Dexter, Rich- ard Tucker, Tom.Gullery, Roy- At- well and John Cossar. “Choose. Your Weapons,” a, two- part Educational comedy, completes the program. SHEVLIN-MOOSE Anton Olson and Joseph Johnson left Wednesday for Minneapolis re- turning home Sunday afternoon.

Even in the early days of film-mak- ing, ingenious subterfuges were em- ployed to emact scenes which would otherwise have been most difficult to reproduce. J. Stuart Blackton gives some examples of this In an article en- titled “Frora Peep-Show to Super- Cinema,” in the London Magazine. When a cinematograph film of the Spanish-Amerlcan war was attempt- ed, the “Battle of Santlago Bay” was taken in a little office under a skylight. Photographs of the battleships Indi- ana and Iowe, and other vessels of the American fleet, with pictures of the ; Spanish warships were cut out and fastened onto blocks of wood, and in this way a realistic sea battle was produced. The coast of Cuba was painted on a small canvas about six feet square, and Santiago bay was an oil‘cloth tank. Friends were pressed into service to puff cigarette smoke in on either side, while tiny exploslons of gunpewder were set off,from behind the picture battleships. ) Not the Same Poincare. There is growing up a distinct Ein- stein tradition concerning the great mathematician’s habits and personal- ity. The following-is the latest addl- tion to the collection: Einstein was walking bareheaded "across Bavarla square in Berlin. . One of his friends hailed him: “Well, what do you think ot Poincare?” “I-think he is a very talented man.” ' “Yes, but what dar- ing!” “The s-daring 'of genius.” “But what a frenzied fury ‘against his an- tagonist!” “Oh, no, not at all. You don’t know him.” “Well, but at least, professor, you won't deny that his de- termined enmity of Germany, and that his megalomania—" *“Oh,” said Ein- stein, “you're talking about Raymond Poincare, the premier. I was thinking of Henri Polncare, the mnthemuflclan It has a strap belt of the material and ties for the neck, also finished with fascinating balls of What Might Be Called the Evelution of Evolution as Explained by : John Burroughs. It is interesting to note that the doc- “| trine of evolution itself has undergone as complete an evolution as has any animal species with which it deals. We find the germ of it, so to speak, in the early Greek philosophers and not much more. Crude, half-developed forms of it be- gin to appear in the Eighteenth cen- tury-of our era and become more snd more developed in the Nineteenth, till they approximate completion in Dar- Lwin. In Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1795, there are glimpses of the theory, but in Lamarck, near the beginning of the Nineteenth century, the theory is so fully developed that it anticipates Dar- win on many points; often full of crud ities and absurdities, yet Lamarck hits the mark surprisingly often. In 1813 Dr. W, C. Wells, an English- man, read a papér before the Royal society in London that contains a pas- sage that might have come from the i pages of Darwin. In the ancnymous | and famous volume called “Vestiges i of Creation,” published in 1844, the doctrine of the mutability of species is forcibly put. Then in Herbert Spen- cer in 1852 the evolution theory of de- velopment receives a fresh impetus, till it matures in the minds of Dar- win and Wallace in the late 50s. The Inherent impulse toward development 1s also in Aristotle. It crops oat again in Lamarck, but was repudiated by Darwin—From “The Last Harvest,” by John Burroughs. Hog Harvesting Time. Farrowing time is harvest time in the hog business. Success at this time means live pigs that will quickly grow into cash; failure means dead pigs that will grow into—an entry on the wrong side of the ledger. Clip Horses Before Spring. Clipping is a practice that should be more universally adopted than it is, for it is an excellent thing for the work horse that has been idle the greater part of the winter and is put to heavy work during the spring.
