mors from the camps Of several

"SEX," SURPRISING DRAMA AT
GRAND TONIGHT AND SUNDAY

"Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you"
Adrienne Renault, divinity of the
Frivolity, never inclined toward this
theory for the simple reason that she
never could imagine herself situated
as other women. ~.
Yet the eternal problem of Sex
became Adrienne's problem, too,
when fate so ruled, and this Won
derful creature Of New York's night
life, this well-beloved of the most
favored men in Manhattan, found
herself as incapable. of solving the
equation as the veriest novice in the
game of love.
In his treatment of this age-young
story, J. Parker Read, Jr., the pro-
Queer, has introduced an artistic ele-
ment of delicacy and nobility and a
scenic lavishness that lifts this screen
play into the realm of those few
photodramas that have startled the
world and have reflected universal
conditions that can be remedied by
only two medicines-Faith and Con-
stancy.
There is cleverly contrived moral
in ."Sex" for the quick-witted. The
climax comes in Adrienne's life when
her own husband is won away from
her by the same Daisy Henderson Of
Cobb Corners in whom she developed
the feminine acts of allure and the
dance in their days in the Frivolity
together. 1t is then that Adrienne
lifts her hands to heaven and all the

MARJORIE RAMBEAU SEEN

| Marjorie Rambeau in "The Fortune
Teller" the Robertson-Cole Super
special which appears at the Elko
Sunday and Monday, is seen at the
very pinnacle of her fame as the
greatest emotional actress of the Am
! erican stage. Her screen appearance
immoralizes the exquisite dramatic
art which gained her the unanimous
praise Of foremost critics.
The first nighterS who had the
good fortune to witness the opening
Of the play in New York were electri-
fed by the sweeping force of Miss
Rambeau' Characterization of the diff
ficult stellar role. Her fine, dignitied
Interpretation of the beautiful and
cultured Renee Browning, the super
stitious wife Of the scientist, and her
graphic depletion of the same woman
as a fallen and degraded creature
were the extremes of her emotional
sweeps.
Miss Rambeaus historic triumph
is not only equalled but surpassed in
the screen version of "The Fortune
Teller" Deprived Of the use Of speech
as a medium for the expression Of
emotional shading she registers more
forcibly thru the technically perfect
utilization, of her remarkably mobile
features.
Strangely enough "The Fortune

pictures which possesses not only a
capable star but story which COM
bines all the elements of mystery,
