AUNT USED THIS GIRL =, j..
Z Il AS BAIT FOR RICH CATCH

I Again is Elaine Hammerstein cast
as member Of. the 5"aristocratic
poor or Shabby ,genteer' class in
her latest selznick Picture. Whisp-
ers, ," which appears last times at
the. Elko theatre tonight, and again
does she score most effectively. One
most noticeable thing about this par
ticular star is the fact tllat she does
not "emote"9 all over the screen but
nevertheless succeeds in getting her
dramatic scenes and points over with
great possible effect. =. ;. -.
The story tells of a girl, daugh-
ter CT a widowed father, who is plac-
ed under the care Of an aunt. This
aunt is social pretender and uses
the girl as bait to hook a rich catch
in the matrimonial pond. Daphne,
ihowever, has her own ideas on the
subject and avoids all her aunt's
prospects"
A little filtration of her own, how
ever, proves disasterous, as the man
she picks happens to be married. A
very yellow newspaper, seeming a
big story, assigns a reporter to case,
and the news gatherer falls in love
with Daphne himself. This only CON-
plicates matters, but in the gradual
working out Of the plot it proves to
be the happiest solution OF all.
An excellent cast supports Miss
Hammerstein, with Matt Moore as
leading man.. ~
a new Mack Sennett comedy is also
on tonight's program at the Elko.

1.-THE WHITE M0LL" AT -
REX TODAY AND TOMORROW

\ Seldom does photoplay so pro-
foundly stir an audience as did The
White Moll," in which Pearl White
appeared at the Rex theatre last
might. It is Miss Whites first ap-
pearance in big special screen pro-
duction, she having abandoned seri-
ais. She is seen in one Of the most
powerful stories ever shown on the
silver sheet. -
AS interpreted by Miss White and
a cast OF notable strength, 1.-The
White Molr' carries a gripping ap-
peal which holds the spectator spell
bound. The picture is based on the
famous story by Frank l.. Packard,
author of 'sThe Miracle Man." and
the /adroitness. with which the tre-
mendous theme has been worked
out in the scenario, written by E.
Lloyd Sheldon, raises the picture to
the level Of a classic. ~.
: The story is laid in the under
world, where Rhoda, a reformed
crook-played by Pearl White-re-
ceives a fortune from a rich man for
settlement work, and starts out to
redeem the gangsters and thieves.
She becomes interested in 1.-The Spar
row." a released convict who is be-
ing forced back into the old life by
1.-THE Dangler," leader of the crooks.
She obtains the help Of ''The Pug"
q member of the gang whom she aids
after he has been sta bbed; and al
though she has several thrilling
escapes from death, she evidently ac-
composites her purpose and also wins
love and happiness.
i The production opens with o
short prologue in which an intensely
dramatic church scene, in sthe form
OF q vision, is presented.
[ Pearl White injects into her work
all the screen magnetism which she
possesses and is admirably supported
by cast headed by Richard G. TRAY
iers. Harry Mallarde directed the
picture, which is superbly staged.
