tip. The tail is of brown feathers
with a breast of cream and brown

an unusually large hen hawk. The

VIVIAN TAKES A CHANCE
Dainty Star in Novel Position
in "His Official Fiancee"

Would you sign an agreement to
become the fancee of your cold
blooded millionaire employer for a
few weeks "for business purposes
only?" That's the peculiar PROPOSE
ton that is put up to Vivian Martin
in her new Paramount-Artcraft pic
ture, "His Official Flancee," which
will be on view at the Elko theatre
Friday and Saturday. Being hard
pressed for funds, she agrees to the
arrangement, and complications and
fun start that moment. She finds, to
her surprise, that, given the proper
surroundings, her stern "fancee" is
not the great bear the office force
has always considered him. A former
lover, an enfant terrible of an uncle,
and the sudden appearance of a pref
ty French girl, in whom her employer
takes an unwonted interest, pique
the audiences curiosity, it is said,
and carry the comedy to it's startling
and thoroughly satisfying denoue-
ment.
A two-part "Big V" comedy and
special music are other features at
the Elko Friday and Saturday.

"The Bandbox" Greatest
of Vance Melodramas

Beautiful Doris Kenyon wins her
right to a place in the screen tirma-
ment equalling the niche she holds in
the esteem of her tremendous stage
following by the most noteworthy
achievement OF her career as the star
of 1.-THE Bandbox," the Dietrich Beck
Inc, production Of Louis Joseph
Vance's greatest mystery story, re-
leased by Hodkinson, which comes to
the Grand theatre, next Wednesday
and Thursday.
Alison Landis, an American act
ress, smuggles famous pearl neck
lace, known as the Cadogan Collar,
into the United States by hiding it in
the lining of a new hat and tricking
her innocent fiance Benjamin Staff,
into carrying the bandbox through
the customs. But on the pier in New
York the fiance gets the bandbox
mixed with another identically the
same as carried by Eleanor Searle.
Recovering the necklace becomes a
problem and developes into a plot
that makes mighty interesting pic
ture.

Rinehart Story

How many ex-doughboys while
they were in the early training camp
stage found themselves mixed up in
a screamingly funny ENHANCEMENT
and made the remark, "Gee, they
ought to put this in the movies. I"
Well, Mary Roberts Rinehart wrote
story for popular magazine called
''Twenty-three and Half Hours
Leave" about a happy-go-lucky caval-
ry sergeant who made a bet that he
would eat breakfast with his colonel
and did it. A million or so readers
laughed at the story and now the
veteran producer, Thomas H. Ince,
has made motion picture out of it
for his latest pair of stars, Doris May
and Douglas Mclean. The film is
booked to be shown at the Elko
theatre next Wednesday and Thurs
day. 1t tells how Sergeant Bill Gray
made the wager and not only broke
mullins with the C. o. but also won
the Colonels' daughters heart. Which
was the greater achievement it will
take the picture to show.
A New York paper says "Twenty-
Three and Half Hours Leave is "a
knockout from start to finish, this
picture is one Of the best comedies
ever shown at the Rialto, where it
was applauded throughout and re-
ceived an ovation at the end"

Alice Joyce in "The Win
chester Woman" Plays
Heavy Emotional Role

A dramatic demonstration of the
idea that confession is good for the
soul occurs in Vitagraph's picture,
''The Winchester Woman" This
subject, with Alice Joyce in the stel-
lar role, will be seen at the Grand
theatre next Monday and Tuesday.
Miss Joyce, playing the part OF
Agatha Winchester, who changes her
name to Wharton in order to hide the
facts of her past life, finds that a
confession to the man she loves is
the only means of solving woeful
problems. She conTesses, and most
of her trouble vanishes in short
order. ...
"The Winchester Woman" was
adapted by Arthur Edwin Krows
from the magazine story by Charles
Stokes Wayne. The scenes were
taken mid beautiful surroundings at
Nyack, N. Y.
