PAGE FOUR. “HERITAGE OF DESERT” [5 EPIC OF PROGRESS A whole town destroyed in a spec- tacular battle which brought lasting peace to the great plains—the strife of primitive men for a great pat- riotie cause—an epic in the national progress. This is the spectacle of “The Her- Stage of the Desert,” an adaptation of ne Grey's famous story which has n produced as a Paramount pic- ture, due at the Rialto theater today The battle js for water rights—the thing which turns the blistering heat of the desert into an earthly para- dise of fertility. ‘This fight, started 45 years ago, is still being carried on tod Seven states are waging a legal conflict at Washington for possession of water rights to the Upper Colorado Rtver in Southern Utah.

A BERT LYTELL 1S SHEIK IN LATEST PROTOPLAY Imagine Bert Lytell a sheik? Rather a difficult undertaking but the producers of ‘A son of the Sa- hara” which fs closing at the Amer- {ca today have made him one. No one who sits through the picture can quite belleve that in the end the half-breed Arab is going to be anything but a Frenchman and sure enough that is the way it happens. Consequently there are no barriers of race to be broken down and he may marry the bit of femininity portrayed by Claire Windsor. The chief interest of the produc- tion if the fact that it was actually produced in the Sahara. ‘There is no studio atmosphere to detract from the effect of realism, no painted scenery, no Californians dressed to represent those who take part in the mob scenes of “A Son of the Sahara’? One is truly taken into the desert and there is initiated into what cun- ning, what villainy and what hero- ism the desert produces. It 1s not often that producers will go to the trouble to transport a company across the Atlanic to take a picture and when they do it is usually because they have faith in the success of the thing they are going to attempt. “A Son of the Sahara” is an example of fullfilled faith. _— FAMOUS FRENCH ACTOR IN MYSTERY PHOTOPLAY Exceedingly difficult is the role which Paul Doucet, noted French actor, has in “The Leavenworth Case,” a Whitman Bennett produc- tion, which will be shown Sunday In this fe and Monday at the America theater, mous mystery picture. “Toward a Greater Casper’’ Your First OPP ORTUNITY to Buy Doucet plays the part of Harwell, secretary to Ira Leavenworth, wealthy old recluse, who ts found shot to death in his sound-proof apartment. The characterization brings into play all the histrionic ability of this star. In “The Leavenworth Case,” Doucet is given ample opportunity to display those talents which he developed when he appeared as a child in one of the companies of Sarah Bernhardt, the beech trage- dienne. With Doucet will be seen Seena Owen, Martha Mansfield, ‘Wilfred Lytell and Bradley Barker. Miss Owen’ and Miss Mansfield play the roles of the two nieces of the slain financier. Lytell appears as An- derson, a mysterious, yet romantic figure in the photoplay. Bradley Barker is Raymond, attorney for Mr. Leavenworth. “The Leavenworth Case” is based upon the famous mystery story of the same name written by Anna Katharine Green, It opens with the discovery of the slaying of Mr. Leavenworth. Suspicion immedi- ately falls upon his two nieces, one of whom is reported to have quar- reled with her uncle on the night previous. A mysterious visitor is next suspected, and then two per- sons close to the household fall in the hands of the investigators, ————— — AMATEUR ACT AT THE WYOMING MAKES GOOD The Wyoming theater scored an- other success last night when it presented several amateur enter- tainers as a special added attrac- tion.

Despite dif- .| fleulty in getting to the place be- cause of roads which the authorities had not had time to make ready there were between 800 and 400 per- sons who found their way to the club headquarters. The effort ex- pended was found to have been well worth ‘while for the entertainment of the evening proved successful from all standpoints. Vanderbeck’s orchestra played throughout the evening for the reg- ular dancing and for the special song and dance numbers ‘which were’ given. Those who rendered these special numbers donated their services for the occasion, Miss Elizabeth Baker and several of her pupils executed interpretative dances while Mrs. H. P. Bubb sang two numbers. af Miss Baker's work came as the climax of numbers given by her pupils. Her first dance was to have been’ oriental with proper lighting effects and setting but this had been made impossible. The dance was given in the stately movements be- coming it though without the added effect of setting. Miss Baker's sec- ond number was of a lighter order, faster, and more indicative of pres- ent day temperament. In present- ing the two pleces she displayed not only an astounding versatility but also a genius for expression rarely found. Maxine Edwards and Edward Wright composed a team that won instant acclamation. These two dancers have worked considerably together and last night presented numbers exceedingly clever and en- tirely novel. A—B—C ELECTRIC WASHER REE ! at the CASPER ELECTRIC Co. Phone 1993J 121 E.
