MAKING GREAT HIT.

1.-The Heart of Humanity" made a
great hit at the Rex yesterday and
packed houses are sure to attend the
shows to be given today and tomor-
row. The orchestra is especially
good and adds greatly to the interest
of the wonderful play. Dorothy
Phillips is featured in the eight-reel
Allen Holubar production which
brings, to the screen the inspiring
story of woman's efforts to alleviate
the sufferings of the wounded and
orphaned and homeless during the
days when France and Belgium were
SCARED and scared by sword and
torch, and pounded and rocked by
great German guns. 1t depicts the
tenderness Of the motherheart in its
conflict with the horrors of war. 1t
pays a, deserved tribute to woman
hood as expressed in the Red Cross
nurse. 1t presents side Of the war
which we have been too prone to
overlook
The story of "The. Heart of HUI
manity" was written by Olga Scholl
and Allen Holubar, adapted for the
screen by Mr.. rHolubar and produced
by him. 1t deals with the romance
Of Nanette, the little ward of Father
Michael, parish priest of a commun-
ity in the Canadian Northwest.
While the parishioners are celebrat-
ing the marriage Of Nanette and
John, the oldest and bravest Of the
Widow Patricia's five sons, news
comes of the declaration of war by
Germany.

LUXURY IN EARLY TRAVEL
"Safety Barges" Instituted for Those
Who Feared Hazard OF, Voyage
on Hudson River.

The frequency with which boilers
blew up on the early Hudson river
boats led to the use of what were
known as safety barges," and these,
In their day, were considered the
utmost luxury in travel. comparable to
the private cars Of the magnates OF
today. The barges were boats with
main and upper decks and were 'a''
most as large as the steamers which
towed them The rabble rode on the
steamers. inhaled the smells Of the
kitchen and the freight holds, endured
the noise of the engines. and took the
chances Of explosions, while on the
barges behind the elite Travelled In
luxurious state. Food was brought
from the boat kitchen to the barge
saloon over swaying bridge be-
tween the vessels and was served
with great aplomb under the direction
Of the barge captain, who was q noble
figure In the setting.
The upper decks Of the barges were
canopied and decked with flowers,
with promenades and easy chairs from
which to view the scenery. At night
the interiors were transformed into
sleeping accommodations much the
same as a modern Pullman. except that
they we're more commodious. Not the
least attractive feature of these barges.
according to a ehronicler' Of their ex'
cellence, was "an elegant bar, most
sumptuously supplied with all that can
be desired by the most fastidious and
thirsty"
Recent news dispatches which tell
of plans to establish floating cafes Sr
the ocean just outside the three.mile
territorial limit when the nation goes
dry, indicate that luxurious fioatinE
establishments somewhat similar II

SOMETHING DIFFERENT,

Departing from the mere spec
tacular and concentrating it's essence
into a powerful love story, gorgeous
California scenic settings "The Eyes
Of the World" which comes to the
Elko theatre next Friday and Satur-
day, April 18, 10, offers something
different in pictorial drama from the
run of great film offerings put for
ward of late. Represented in this
achievement are Harold Bell Wright,
author of the famous story, which
has had a sale of over two million
copies in book form, and w. H.
C1une, who was associated in the
production of 1.-THE Clansman"
("Birth of a Nation") and other
large film ventures.

A T THE
THEA TIE S
,ELKO TONIGHT.

Mae Marsh in "Spotlight Sadie, "
her new Goldwyn picture, comes to
the Elko theatre tonight and tomor-
row, Sunday, and as always there are
appealing touches of humanness
throughout the drama. 1t all comes
about when Sadie voyages from Ire
land to live with her sister and
brother-in-law. She finds them
wretchedly poor and the man a
drunkard. The poverty and squalor
of their tenement home disgust her.
When she sees newspaper para
graph announcing the marriage of
an actress and the scion of a rich
family, Sadie gets the notion that she
would like to follow suit. "Then
I'll marry a wealthy man and let you
live with me-" she confides to her sis
ter.
A comedy is also on the Elko pro-
pram for tonight and Sunday.
