EYES PLAYED HER FALSE:
t. THEIR HEARTS WERE TRUE

"Blindness," popular LADIES
Home Journal" story has been made
into picture and is being shown at
the Elko theatre, last times, tonight,
under the title Eyes of the. Heart
;, It is Realart picture, Mary Miles
fMinter appearing in the role of Lau-
ra, the blind girl, who has such a
struggle for happiness following the
establishment Of regained sight.
She had been blind from birth, and
to shield her, from the ugly truth
that their home was poor and sordid.
and they themselves thieves and pick
pockets, they lovingly deceived her.
/ Then sight was given to her bewild-
cred eyes! And all her faith in life
and love and goodness was shattered,
because she found them different
from her old dream of them. At first
she saw only lies and cheating in
the loyal careful efforts they had
made to keep her happy by WITHHOLD
ing the sordid truth. Yet in the end
she came to see, after many bitter ex-
periences, that her heart had seen
them more truly, in her blind days
than her unaccustomed eyes had
been able to discern.
