NEWS OF THE THEATRES
Dumas, Edgar Allen Poe and Robert

Dumas, Edgar Allen Poe and Robert
Louis Stevenson?
If you do, you cannot 60 wrong by
attending the Rex theatre, where
"The Phantom Melody" a Universal
production, is starring Monroe. Sails
bury.
The scenes of "The Phantom. Mel
ody," are laid in modern Italy, prior
to, during and after the recent war.
While the war has nothing to do with
the plot of the story, it serves as a
background for some of the situa-
lions, and throws its sinister rays
across the motives of some Of the
characters in the tale.
Monroe Salisbury, as an Italian
nobleman, in love with his pretty Eng
lish ward, but who hesitates to speak
his heart because of the difference in
their ages, has one of those roles that
give him every opportunity for ex-
cellent character delineation. AS the
patrician county who gives UP the
girl he loves in favor Of younger
cousin, and hides his identity later
to return in time to avenge the
wrongs done him by the man he had
befriended, and to win back his
sweetheart, Salisbury proves the YER
satility that has made him favorite
in a dozen Universal productions.
Splendid support is given to- the
star by Barney Sherry, Jean Calhoun,
Charles West, Ray Gallagher, Lois
Lee, Joseph Ray and Milton Mark
well.

FARMERS sPURN GRAND PIANO
instrument Sells for $3.50 as New
Workers Pay $3.50 for Blind ,
Horse. J

Riverhead, L. 1.-The eastern Long
Island farmer seems to be a critical
fellow.
Just because he cannot use piano
to raise potatOes-there is no sort OF
affiliation, apparently, between music
and potato growing-the farmer re-
fuses to pay as much for the piano as
he will for a blind horse.
Frank ]. Corwin. the auctioneer, re.
Gently astonished the countryside when
he got the farmers tumbling all over
themselves to bid in blind horse st
$3.50 and loose hay for the sensational
price Of SIS ton. He sort Of reasoned
that If a blind horse was worth that
much a grand piano. that could make
Jazz music without much effort ought
to bring around $500.
: But the farmers fooled him this time:
In spite. of all his coaxing, in spite OF
all his claims that Paderewski would
be glad to have this instrument, 1t was
knocked down for $3.50.

REX, THURSDAY.

One of the most attractive photo
plays the Rex theatre has ever had,
is announced for Thursday when
William Farnum's new de luxe pro-
duction, "Rough and Ready" takes
the screen. Showings daily, at 2:3O,
and 7:20 and 900 o'clock. y.
The supporting company surround
ing the distinguished William Fox
star in this magnificent feature is of
unusual brilliance, and the direction
by Richard Stanton is noteworthy.
William Farnum, Of course, is the
favorite of everyone with any knowl-
|edge of "Who's Who on Stage and
Screen" Mr.. Farnum is without a
peer in his field and has long been
established as Americas most popu-
lar dramatic actor. Trough and
Ready" fits him like the proverbial
glove. Mr.. Farnum's leading lady is
petite Violet Palmer, whom picture
enthusiasts will remember as the CO.
star in "The Blue Streak" Others in
the cast who have important roles
are Alphonze Either, Jessie Arnold,
David Higgins, Frank Newton, Mabel
Bardine and Franklin McGlynn.
Bill Stratton, whom Mr.. Farnum
portrays, is a man whose heart is as
big and as clear as the great, cold
Northland into which he goes to
forget lost love. He comes to yell
low Gulch, q rough mining settlement
perched in the SHOWS, to rest from the
WEAKNESS of the trail. IF !: :: -: =. =
A trick of fate brings to the place
the girl he loved back east, and whom
he never has forgot. Again Bill
fights to win her-and he succeeds
against odds and obstacles that would
have daunted any less sturdy than he.
In Bill Stratton, Mr.. Farnum has
found one of the finest and most ap-
pealing characterizations he has yet
had for the cinemas, and his work
in the part is really superb: The
whole production is exceedingly well
mounted and extremely we'll staged,
so that the story is provided with an
excellent background. .
