SUNDAY, JANUARY 14, 1923. NERO SHOT) BE FOX TRIUMPH Picture To Be Shown At America This Week Direct- ed by J. Gordon Edwards If you had seen the Green-Hyed Monster; if you had met the Unfaith-| ful Wife and the Darling of Paris; if you had watched The Spider and the Fly; if you had looked upon The Galley Slave; if you had told Cleopatra and Salome how to act; if you had heard The Siren’s Song-and directed) The Lone Star Ranger, wouldn't you feel that you had had a wealth of experience? J. Gordon Edwards has done all this and more, for he has told the “Queen of Sheba” how to fall into the arms of Solomon and vamp him as he had never been: vamped beforg@—but vamped into one glorious Ife of thrilling ecetacy.

Duncan at Iris Theater Today In Addition to Wall’s Popular Players SCENE FROM “WHEN DANGER SMILES” One of the most exciting scenes of “When Danger Smiles” is brought about when William Duncan in order to make an escape from his enemies, whips up a horse and in so doing is hurled from his own and dragged several hundred yards from the end of a rope. Edith John- son, the co-star, has the role of a Spanish senorita. Besides this wonderful picture Wall's Popular Players will present screamingly funny two-act farce comedy entitled “‘A Friend from India,” personally directed by Ted Chase. It will be remembered that Mr. Chase produced for this popular company in the past such bills as “A Pair of Sixes,’ “The Double Cross” and the “Brand of Love,” and Mr. Chase claims that this bill will surpasse any of them. There will be six big vaudeville specialties in addition to this two-act play. Among the vaudeville specialties will be Miss Loretta Kid in one of her latest sore and dance numbers. The Derita Trio in “Fun in Dancing Schoo! Dan Malumby and Ethel and Thompson in a comedy skit entitled the ‘Fortune Tellers,” Dorothy Seymor as the Daffy Doodle girl.

Casper Sunday Morning Tribune Use Disappearing Beds of California To Dodge Visitors Into the bed and out of sight! One way of dodging unexpected visitors is to make use of the disappearing bed common to California. There is a weene in “Rent Free,” Wallace Reid’s Paramount picture which comes to the Wyoming theatre next Thursday in which Lila Lee, the leading wo- man, and Gertrude Short, who plays @ character role, are shown as room mates, The latter is still clad in pa- Jamas when a knock comes to the door, “Where'll I hide?” “Jump in the bed’? She does #0 and Lila shoves the bed under the wardrobe or sideboard or whatever it is, and admits—the jan- itor. To make these shots, showing Miss Short in the bed under the sideboard, it was necessary to put the cumera on the floor an@ for the s-san to lle flat while he shot the scene,.
