| l i WEDNESDAY, EVENING, DEC- 8, 1923 “THE ISLE OF 'DOUBT” AT ELKO THEATRE TONIGHT “Which one of us do you choose now? Me—or ybur lover?” Thus a husband gave his wife her choice. She hated her husband, and she had already found her lover wanting in courage—wanting in fact, in all the virtues her' love had endowed him with. But obstinately she chose her lover—there on'that “Isle of Doubt” where two men snd a 'woman tried to make a straight, true liné' out of an eternal 'triangle. © The Elko theatre presents tonight for''the last”time “The Isle of Doubt”,”a Playgoers feature, starring Wyndham " Stand- ing in the role of the husband." It is a story of romiante d@nd“adventure]|” told against a ‘bacKground of high society and a picturesque- and prim- | itive tropical isle. Dorothy Mackaill and George Fawcett have -feature roles. “KINDRED OF THE DUST” AT GRAND THEATRE TONIGHT “The course oi true love never runs smooth” is an adage which is exemplified in “Kindred of the Dust’ an Associated First National attrac- tion produced by Raoul Welsh from the novel by Peter B. Kine and whicl is coming to the Grand theatre tonight for - a .two day engage- meny with Miriam'' Cooper in the leading feminine' role, Playing the role of “Nan of the Sawdust Pile” Miss Cooper gives a remarkable - chardcterization of a poverty stricken maiden who is loved by the:son of “The Laird”, the mill- ionaire lumberman. “LET 'ER RUN” AT ELKO THEATRE AGAIN TONIGHT Al Christie took his comedy com- pany to Tia Juana and Riverside to “shoot” many of the racing scenes for the new Educational-Christie 2- part comedy, “Let Tr Run” featur- ing Dorothy Devore which will be secn at the Elko theatre tonight for the last time. Stables and paddocks were built at the Christie studio for other scenes but it takes an expert to tell which scenes:were made at the studio and which down at the track. - “SHADOWS” AT ‘THE GRAND FRIDAY AND SATURDAY The interpretation of the Chinese character has long been a favorite theme for screen plays but is seen in an entirely new light in “Shad- ows,” tne Preferred Ficture presnt- ed by B. P, Schulberg which starts its local engagement at the Grand theatre beginning Friday. The picture is based on Wilbur Daniel Steele‘s prize story, “Ching, Ching, Chinaman.” ‘which.:was ac- claimed as 'on¢ of the greatest: stories of 1917. The usual ran of: motion pictureg put the Chinaman' in a vin- dictive light,” butChaneyiin'{Shad- ows”- is the sortiof an Oriéntal that Confucius or 'séme . other:: Chinese sage must ‘have Bei kindly, -benign and helpful. 340 igerd | 2 HET T “A TAILOR MADE MAN" AT .0l GRAND THEATRE SUNDAY Charies Ray left no stone unturned to make “A Tailor Made Man” first of his super-features for United Art- ists and coming to the Grand theatre next Sunday, one of the most im- portant and most significant film productions of the year. In the supporting cast of twenty- eight players, there are many who s:ave been stars in their own right, ooth on stage and screen. It has been a long time since any one:cast of characters boasted of such light talent as Ethel Grandin, Jacqueline Logan, Douglas Gerrard Thomas Jef- ferosn, Edyth Chapman, Victor Pot- el, Thomas Ricketts, Katé Lester, Eddie Gribbon,; Frank Butler and Nellie Peck Sanders. ¢ “DON'T GLT PERSONAL” AT ELKC THEATRE THURSDAY Universal has:started the new year off with a new writer, I. R. King, who has furnished an amusing though light comedy for the trim Miss Prevost, and Clarence Badger has given it his best in the way of direction. And there is the added attraction of T .Roy Barnes in her support, who is in turn supported by George Nichols, Daisy Robinson, Roy Atwell. Ralph- McCullough, Del Lorlee, Sadie Gordon and Mack Sen- nett’s famous dog **Teddy”. In fact «Teddy” romps off with part of the honors and hig screen work will tickle are sumptuous-and well arranged. The title, “Don’t ‘Get Personal” doesn’t mean much as far as the story is concerned, “Patricia Patches It Up.” or “Keep Them Guessing” would have fit just as well. But its a corking good little comedy never-. theless..

This question has been asked In Chicago, with replies that are unani- mous In their tenor. ¥ou can probably guess the answer. & A middle-aged advertising man says he prefers to work for a man, because a man doesn’t want to be bossed by a woman, anyhow. Seriously, he says, a, man is more likely to be solid, stable and businesslike, while a woman is more prone to be temperamental and , & profio- e | ous drawings in rapid succession. If to “act the part of the modern woman,” whatever that is. The men are not alone In this view, it appears. A young woman artist says she would rather be bossed by a man, any day. A man, she says, from the depths of her experience, will not find as many faults with your work as a woman will. A womsan will scrutinize every angle and try to find something to complain about, while a man will simply let it go for what it's worth— | perhaps, though she does not say so, in resigned despair of getting anything better. Moreover, this girl has found out that men will“pay more ‘than | E mé., Then there is the opinlon of a stu- dent, who has not yet gone to work, but who wants-a man boss when she does. Men, she says, haven't the nerve to tell a woman to do more than she i’ able to do;. “A man respects & woman'|' and he'd rather do something for her to save her the trouble. A woman won't do anything like that.” L e e L Not Work of One Inventor, Moving pictures were not invented by any one person. They were devel oped by many men. Plateau, a blind man of Ghent, in 1833 made a toy which gave illuslon of moving figures by showing numer was known as the “phenakistoscope.” In 1860 this idea was incorporated in the “zoerope,” also a toy. In 1872 Muybridge used photography instead of drawings. Peynaud of France ip 1877 enlarged the scope of the ma: chine by projecting pictures on s screen with a stereopticon arrange’ ment. Ribbon film was first used in 1888. * In“1890 cameras were Invented that were able to take ten exposures a second. They were known as Friese, Greene and Evans cameras, The first really successful machine was the ““kinetoscope,” . invented by son In 1893, > h: Australia’s beauty queen, ' Béauty‘U@Es: Physical Culture Suzanne Bennett, voted -the fain NIRRT DOINGS OF THE DUFFS ~ * * OLIVIA HAD ) HELLO,TOM - SAY, AN ACCIDENT!

There is a brick mason of years of service in this city, who used to be called to do fine work and puzzle out problems that others could not. He had the culture of his trade. There is a steamfitter in town who is the most often consulted on difficult prob- lems. There used to be carpenters who stood out as the best workmen. They got satisfaction out of the suc- cess far beyond any that money could bring. The desire to excel is the secret of human progress. The culture of power to do things a little better has bred all invention. The ‘greyhound was bred by selecting individuals who could run faster. They bred the Gordon setter dog to do the special work in the rough country of Scotland. Thus types grow into species and thus species de- velop power for new species. .-*We shall .get along. in this world only by striving. There Is no striving except by work. There is no drudgery in constant and honest work. It spells happiness. Idleness ' spells unhappl ness. Rockefeller has worked and drudged harder than the street vagrant and has had a better time at working than in loafing. + He Knew. The old story about some one always being willing to give the bride away was beaten by a happening in Indian- apolis the other day. A spinster in the early thirties who is soon to be mar- ried was completing arrangements for her wedding. She had selected her bridesmaids, and then she turned to her family and said: “I would be hap- py if I only could decide who would present me to the bridegroom.” No one made any suggestion, but her little nephew piped out: “Why I thought he was a present to. you, auntie. The neighhors said he was something you had wanted for a long time.” And now none of the neighbors is included on the wedding invitation list. —Indianapolis News. Fashion Hard on Monkeys. The dictates of fashion have exerted a strong demand for black and white Abyssinian monkey skins to be used for trimmings, particularly in Paris. The supply ‘of skins is very limited and not more than 15,000 to 20,000 can be obtained in a year, says Consul Cross at Aden, Arabia, in a report to the textile division of the Department of Commerce, without unduly raising prices and exterminating the monkey. The price at Adis Abeba has been fairly steady, the cheaper grades sell- ing at 45 cents and the more expensiva at 90 cents.
