CARMEN" 4 Film
MASTERPIECE HERE
THeoA BARA KNOWN AS "HAoEs'
HAND MAIDEN" IN THE ROLE
OF CARMEN, THE NAUGHTY
AND INToLERANT FLiRT.

The people OF Elko are indeed for
tunate in being able to see William
FoX's production of Carmen. with
Theda Bara, worshipped by moving
picture patrons from coast to coast, In
the title role, which will be given to-
night at the ever popular Bradley op-
era House.
Theda Bara's conception of Car
men" is peculiarly her own and she
makes the most of her opportunity.
Her fight in the cigarette factory and
her death-scene are triumphs of dra-
matte skill. She displays throughout
the wonderful facial control that has
made her famous in the moving pic
ture world.
The William Fox photoplay, Car
men," bears little relation to the dra-
matte content and course of the like
named opera and scarcely more to the
tale of Merimee, whence Meilhac and
Halevy drew their text and incidents
for music. 1t shows the smugglcrs
landing goods upon the shore and
planning 10 convey them illicitly in
land TO the town. II visualizes their
failure to turn Jose, on guard at the
wall, from his duty, and the proposal
of Carmen to WOO and win him. The
films then unroll scenes of seduction
between Carmen and Jose in the tav-
ern, in the course of which the arrival
of the bull-fighter and his subsequent
amorous interchanges with the girl
are pictured. Scenes of work in the
| cigarette factory next traverse the
| screen, making way for the scene al
the wall in which the smugglers bear
their goods through the breach while
Carmen and Jose, HARDLY. toy amor
/ ously. Next fight among the cigar
cite girls is represented in which Car
men is lusty participant and into
which the soldiery come TO take her
| into turbulent custody.
After brief and relatively tranquil
I interlude. a second fight is pictured
this time in the tavern, between Jose
| and another soldier, with Carmen as an
excited and pleased spectator on an
overhanging staircase. A few more
| lengths of the films suffice TO show
| her weariness of Jose, her reading of
| impending death on the cards. and her
journey into the town with the bull
fighter. A street before the ring with
the crowd that fills 1t then appears on
the screen and the remaining pictures
cut back and forth between the course
of the buii.fight within; the haggard
waiting of Jose without; and the death
of Carmen at his hands.

Munich Gazette as saying, Nothing

an organization for the farmers and

ers on Yelm prairie since last spring.
A meeting of some Of the interest

SEEK FOREIGN TRADE
Northwest Capitalists Forming Hug.
Company for Oriental Commerce.

Plans are now being worked out in
Seattle for the organization of a cor
poration to engage in foreign trade,
representing the largest business en-
terprises in the Northwest. The cor
poration will be capitalized at from
one million to two and a half mill
ions, and will engage in general ex-
porting and importing, sending
agents to foreign countries which
have already some trade with this
port, or from which trade may be ex-
pected, and doing everything possible
to stimulate commerce in and out of
Puget Sound.
The corporation will be a private
institution, organized to trade for
profit, but will be public-spirited in
its efforts to stimulate the foreign
trade of every concern in the North
west. Markets abroad will be sought
for all products of the land and the
factory in this part of the world, and
markets in America will be sought
for the imports which will fill vessels
returning here from Siberia, the
Orient, South America and other
points.
The plans are along the lines of the
American International Corporation
formed year ago in New York.
