AT THE ELKO

Frank Mcintyre, one of the fore
most comedians on the stage, makes
his motion picture debut in the Fa-
nous Players adaptation of his best
known success, 1.-THE Travelling
Salesman" in which he toured the
country for three seasons. 1t is an
interesting coincidence that Mr.. Nc
Intyre's first appearance on the
screen should be made in an adapta-
ton of the play in which he scored
his first great success.
*The Travelling Salesman" is the
Paramount picture at the Elko thea
ter tomorrow 1t is a remarkable
mixture of comedy and drama, in
which this jovial comedian is thor
oughly at home, having played in
every known form Of theatrical pre-
sentation from farce and musical
comedy to heavy dramas. Mcintyre
himself has travelled as much as the
average salesman in his tours all
over the country, and he plays the
part with an understanding that
gives his performance complete
reality.
