NEWS OF THE THEATRES
VIVID GRIFFITH DRAMA
% HAS MANY SENSATIONS

The Mother and the Law" d. W..
Griffith production of thrills and SEN
satiOns, is announced as the special
attraction at the Elko theatre tomOr-
row, also on Monday and Tuesday.
Playgoers who are familiar with
tMr. Griffith's earlier triumphs,
'tHearts Of the World" 1.-THE Fall Of
Babylon" etc, will De especially in
terested in this production, wherein
the genius of Griffith is again re-
Fvealed. True, in "The Mother and
the Law" Mr.. Griffith has gotten
away from the smoke of battle and
the scenes of combat that were so
of Nation" and earlier works, but
the new and tremendous domestic
drama that he has brought into being
will undoubtedly prove one of the
most notable contributions to the
screen.
Thruout this Griffith super-pic-
ture there is a series of incidents
wherein circumstantial evidence al
most wrecks the lives of simple people
whose intentions and motives have
been Of the best, but when seen thru
the eye Of superstition and jealousy
are so twisted and distorted as to
make them appear of the worst pos
sible character. In the big climax of
the play, called by many critics "a
dramatic thunderbolt," young hus-
band and father is at the very thresh-
old of an untimely and unwarranted
cid merely thru chain OF circum-
stance over which he had no control.
He IS saved from paying the extreme
penalty of the law for crime he did
not commit solely thru the love and
faith Of heroic woman and the tri-1
umph of truth and fact over circum-
stance.
The cast for "The Mother and the
Law is thoroughly representative of
Griffith company. The principal
players include Mae Marsh, Robert
Harron, Miriam Cooper, Ralph Lewis.
Walter Long, Alberta Lee, Margaret
Marsh, Ted Browning. and others
whose names are familiar to those
who patronize the higher form of
motion pictures.
In line with his established policy
of providing special music for all Of
his productions, Mr.. Griffith has fur
nished an elaborate score which will
be played by the Elko orchestra Sun
day evening and by Mrs. Riggs at the
piano other evenings of the engage
ment.' h

TOM MIX 1N"THE UNNAMED"
AT REX SUNDAY AND MONDAY

"a Tale of the West, story OF
the Wild; of three strange comrades
--whistling Dan of the untamed soul.
within whose mild eyes there turks
the baleful yellow glare of beast an
ger; of the mighty stallion Satan,
King o. the Ranges, and the devil
dog, to whom their masters word
is the only law-and of the girl. j
elbow Jim Silent, the lone rider

Dan; how, OF his right-hand men,
one strove for the girl, one for the
horse and one to get that black
devil of dog and their desperate
efforts to achieve their ends,, form
but part of the stirring action.
"a Tale of the West, yes-but a
most unusual one, touched with an
almost weird poetic fancy from the
very first page, when over the sandy
wastes sounds the clear, sweet
whistling of Dan of the desert, to the
very last paragraph, when one hears
the cry and the call of the wild geese
flying SOUTH"
Such is the description by G. P.
Putnams Sons, publishers Of Max
Brands novel, THE Untamed." A
wonderful picture, made from a Won
derful story, with the daredevil Fox
screen star Tom Mix in the role of
!. histling Dan, is promised in the
fhe Forthcoming offering at the Rex
theatre which begins next Sunday.
"The Untamed' is a strange romance
of three inseparable comrades Of the
love that came to the man, and the
union of three companions in wreck
ing a fearful vengeance. The pic
ture is said to be the most appealing
Mix has made.

work in films as leading woman in
such plays as "Why Change Your
Wife," 1.-THE Fourteenth Man."
"Sick- A-Bed" and "The Dancin'
Fool" had shown her comedy talent,
and this talent she displayed most
amusingly in the present production,
which is an adaptation of two of
Grace Lowell Bryans famous "Ro-

in The Saturday Evening Post.
As the disconnected and ambitious
little check-room girl in a smart New
York Hotel, .Rowena Patricia Jones

malign destiny which has given lux

will add to her popularity.

CHAMPIONS DUCKlNC
FIGHTS FOR DECISION
BY Henry L. Farrell
United Press Correspondent

New York, Oct. 16.-The right of
Pete Herman, johnny Kilbane, Benny
Leonard and johnny Wilson to their
cham ionship crowns may be disput-
ed, but Tex Rickard, New York pro-
moter, is willing to concede them
all as the best champions the world
has ever seen-at "ducking bouts
Richards who, as manager of Mad
ison Square garden, has become the
foremost of American promoters, has
found it almost impossible to induct
any of the champions outside Of Jack
Dempsey, the heavyweight king, to
get in the ring for a decision bout.
ave expected to have some real
fights in New York under the new
boxing bill, but the, champions have
suddenly become deaf" he said.
II have written numerous letters
to Johnny Kilbane and he has ig-
nored them. I even went so far as
to let him pick his own opponent.
have tried to get in touch personally
with Johnny Wilson and have sent
representatives to him only to have
them told that he is not ready to talk
business, l had Benny Leonard and
Eddie Fitzsimmons matched and the
bout was called off. Pete Herman
has been very slow in agreeing to
| meet the winner Of the elimination
series that Isl being conducted among
the bantams.'
Richard. however. plans to force
them into the ring. He has two plans
in mind-one thru the provision of
the Walker Bill and the other by
taking the radical stand that they arc
no longer champions and Offering a
club belt of his own to the winner
of an elimination series among the
contenders.
The Walker Bill is very clear. on
this subject. ,..-.
"Any boxer winning a champion
ship under the international Rules
must defend his title in bona fide
bout to 4 decision against the best
available contender within period
Of six months from the time of win
ming his title and thereafter every
six months if qualified challenger
appears, unless he Is prevented by
circumstances beyond his control, in
which case the time may be extended
by the board of boxing CONTROL" the
section reads.
Richards has, already offered belt
to the winner OF the return engage
ment between Jack Sharkey and Joe
Lynch. who fought furious fifteen
round draw recently and are match
ed to meet again on November 5th
in Madison Square garden.
Richards also promises to make
some interesting disclosures about the
weight of several champions who are
in a class heavier than their titles.
While some excellent bouts have
been staged under the New York
laws and while there is little doubt
that the future will see many just
as good. it is fact that the cham
pions will have to be coaXed a. great
deal to step into ring with their
crown at stake on a decision since
they can go across the rived in
New Jersey and fight twelveround
|no-decision fight and get almost as
much money.

ALL YANK TOYS
American Manufacturers Are
Bucking Foreign Makers.
Took Thirty Million Feet of
Lumber for Year 1920.

Washington. Dec. 25.-The Ameri-
can toy business is a big one and the
shipment Of these toys is business
in itserf. Thirty million feet of lum-
Der is used every year in the American
toy business. The question of buck
ing the foreign made article is up
to the consumer and all he has to do
is to demand the home made article.
When the mechanical toy is taken
into consideration some idea OF the
immensely of the toy business may be
gained, the American Forestry Asso-.
citation adds, when you stop to figure
how many jumping jacks, Tor exam
pie, can be made from thirty million
feet of lumber. Wood holds first place
in the material for toys, because of
cheapness and because the articles of
metal are not suitable for the age of
those for whom toys are intended.
There seems to be no end to the
kinds of things that appeal to chill
dren and the fact of the matter is
there are styles in toys just as there
are in other things. A war will decide
the run of toys for period. All of
US remember the vogue of things Rus
sian and japanese during the war be-
tween those countries. The world war
brought to the fore again things like
battleships and submarines and guns
