Founded on an old fairy tale of two
children who climbed from their lit
tie cottage to the house on the hill
only to discover that the golden win
dows were made of nothing but the
sun shining on broken window panes,
and looking back they see the same
golden effect on the panes of the win
dows in their own little home, L. "
Jefferson and Charles Sarver have
constructed splendid photodrama
THE House of the Golden Windows, ="
a Paramount picture, which will be
seen at the Idaho Monday and Tues

Reid, the Lasky stars, in the leading
roles.
The story is a modern version of
this old fairy tale and the scenes are
laid in the green fields of California
and show in a striking manner how
true happiness is really at ones own
fireside.

MANAGER LAVfRING
INSTALLS NEW CURTAIN
Is Second OF Its Kind and Is Repro
ductiOn OF Tower of Jewels Eight
Hundred Brilliants Used.

b. c. Lavering, manager of the Law
ering theatre, received this week and
has already installed a new curtain
which is something new in the way of
a stage decoration Though advan-
tage was taken of some of the space
on the curtain for advertising pur-
poses, the feature of the curtain lies
in the novelty of the central decora-
ton.
A reproduction was made of the
world-famous Tower of Jewels, at the
Panama-Pacific exposition, which in
itself is an artistic piece of work, but
the outstanding beauty of the picture
is the clever reproduction of the jew
eled work which covered the fair
building. The effect of the continu-
GUS twinkle of colored lights was OBJ
tanned by the use of 500 brilliants
which reflect the light from the
globes IN the theatre. The natural
sway of the immense curtain increases
this effect and under the spotlight
the curtain is particularly beautiful.
A small picture of the Perrine coulee
is also reproduced and the use of the
brilliants gives this picture added at
traction.
The curtain is the work Of Charette
and Charette, scenic painters. of Los
Angeles, California Mr.. Charette is
in the city to superintend the installa-
ton and he says that this is the sec
ond curtain of its kind in the United
States, the first being installed in a
theatre in Boise. The curtain was used
for the first Tuesday evening at the
Marcus Kellerman & company enter
tainment.
