GOOD DETECTIVE STORY
SATISFIES HUMAN NEED

President Wilson often says that
his favorite reading is a detective
story. The late Colonel Roosevelt fell
the same way about it. There's nc
getting around it, good detective
story satisfies great human need
Everybody likes them.
But a detective story has 20 be
good. Not clap-trap, serial stuff, but
genuine mystery, thrills, excitement
that stirs the emotions and the wits
all at once.
Probably the best detective story
writer of today is Maurice Leblanc
His famous crook character, Arsene
Lupin, is known all over the world
as one Of the most fascinating char.
acters Of fiction. And of all the
Arsene Lupin stories, none is more
fascinating, more intriguing, than
"The Teeth of the Tiger"
This has been made into a Para
mount-Artcraft picture, with David
Powell in the role of the fascinating
crook-now turned straight and act
ing as a detective. In support are
Marguerite Courtot and Myrtle Sted-
man. The cast is practically all
star. Chet Withey directed the pic
ture.
'The Teeth of the Tiger" is booked
for showing in the Elko theatre
within short time.

I'm MlZZOURA," NEW
WARWICK PICTURE
Famous Train Robbery Cave
Augustus Thomas Facts
for Thrilling Plot

Much has been written about re-
alism on the screen, but the whole
plot OF I'm Mizzoura," the new Para
mount-Artcraft picture starring Rob.
ert Warwick, which will be shown
at the Elko theatre Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday, is built around a startl-
ing incident that happened in that
state several years ago. The author,
Augustus Thomas, was at that time
a reporter on st. Louis paper. A
train robbery took place in which a
/ lone highwayman held up the express
messenger and stole several thousand
dollars. Afterward he turned up in
a small town and was captured. Mr..
Thomas took this affair and, with his
dramatic genius, incorporated it into
a play, along with an unusually ap-
pealing little love story. The late
Nat Goodwin used it for several years
as starring vehicle.
1t was inevitable that play of
such force and appeal should reach
the screen. Robert Warwick is said
to fit ideally into the role of the hero,
and Eileen Percy is pretty leading
woman. The cast also includes Noah
Beery, Monte Blue, Gertrude Short
and Robert Cain.
Added attractions are "Why Di-
vorce?,' two part Carter De Haven
comedy, showing each day, and spe-
cial music by five talented musicians
Sunday evening.

Girl From Gutter Inspired
Sculptor's Masterpiece

If you believed that you had in
spired your husband to do big things
to write great book, or paint a
great picture, or design a beautiful
building, or build a big bridge
would you sit back and let another
woman rob you of your happiness, OF
would you fight for it.
Denise Fleury, the heroine of "The
Virtuous Model" the Albert Capel-
lani-Pathe picture, of which Dolores
Cassinelli is the star, coming to the
Grand theatre on tonight for the last
time, believed that her soul, as we'll
as her body, had been the inspiration
for her sculptor husbands master
piece, for which she had posed, and
when another woman sought to claim
her place, Denise fought!
Dolores Cassinelli, the Cameo Girl,
whose most recent appearances were
as the star Of "The Unknown Love-
and Lafayette, We Gomez" is the
star of ''The V:rtuous Model" which
is an adaptation Of Pierre Wolff's ia
nous play, ''The Gutter"
"Sea Sirens" a Christie comedy,
will complete the program.

BRYANT WASHBURN
..,t,,. ,.x,. HAS A WILD TIME
Fires, Wrecks and EARTHQUAKES
In Conspiracy Against Him
In 'fWhy Smith Left Home''

-. Bryant Washburn and Lois Wilson,
who appear together in the new Para
mount-Artcraft comedy picture "Why
t. Smith Left Home" at the Elko
theatre tomorrow and Saturday, have
now completed Novieland romance
from first meeting, through elope-
ment, marriage, and reconciliation
after the momentous first quarrel.
Screen lovers will recall the pair in
'tLove Insurance." Mr.. Washburn's
previous starring vehicle, where they
become acquainted under bizarre cir
cumstances and fall in love. Though
"Why Smith Left Home" is in no
sense a sequel to the other film, it
carries the lovers through rapid
fire el0pement and a tumultuous and
extremely amusing honeymoon. Fire,
wrecks, designing serving maids, and
an earthquake combine to foil Smith
in: his efforts to win his first nuptial
kiss, and only when he turns cave
man does he succeed.
The picture is a screen version of
George Broadhurst's we'll known
farce Of the same name. Bachelors
will probably smile complacently and
say, II told you so," when they see
"Why Smith Left Home" For cer-
tainly no man ever had more cause
to brand marriage big mistake than
Smith, the youthful bridegroom play
ed by Mr.. Washburn.
There will be special music, and
two other entertaining short subjects
on the Elko program Friday and Sat-
urday.

FOR PERSONAL REASONS

Have you noticed that Vivian Mar

It's true. Her newest picture, His
Official Fiancee," beats them all, for
sheer charm, cleverness of story, and
originality.
It's a story Of girl who becomes
engaged to man for business Rea-
sons, and later renews the engage
ment for personal reasons. And lot
Of delightful comedy and romance

booked for showing at the Elko

INDICATES THEIR ABILITY

Enid Bennett, whose pictures vary
in quality and character as widely as
those of any star on the market,
reaches the pinnacle Of her effective
ness in ''Stepping Out" the photoplay
showing in the Elk6 theatre for the
last time tonight. Nothing that she
has ever done before even indicates
the ability which is so clearly in evil
dence here.
Niles Welch, juvenile of many
but no phenomenal
hits" is a like surprise in his clever
impersonation of a difficult and ex-
acting male lead.
TO describe "Stepping Out" is to
underrate it, since word description
cannot cope with the camera and
screen in expression. 1t must be seen
to be appreciated. And it is a pic
ture which every motion picture lover
should.

1.-THE MAN WHO WON"

The play deals with the adventure
of christopher Keene (Harry Morey)
in securing a vast quantity of plati-
mum at time when the world was
after the same thing. Mysterious
enemies attack him. He falls into
the hands of a powerful enemy who
seeks to deprive him OF the fruits of
his toll. Fate plays a part and he
loses his memory. His actions be-
come suspicious, perhaps he is a spy.
That is what the girl thought and
tried TO prevent him from accom-
plishing his object.
The elements of mystery and sus-
pense are consistent and the surprise
ending is the natural result of un-
raveling the plot. 1t is not dragged
in by the ears as so many of the so
called surprise endings are. It is the
kind Of play that holds the attention
in a tight grip until the final close
out.
The story, 1.-THE Man Who Won, "
was written by Cyrus Townsend
Brady, and will be shown Friday and
Saturday at the Grand theatre.

NEW BILLIE BURKE FILM

Nothing is the matter with me
except that have married the wrong
man." are Billie Burke's tearfur
words a few moments after she has
been welded to a handsome Italian
count in her new Paramount-Art-
craft picture, "Sadie Love-" which is
the attraction at the Elko theatre
next Wednesday and Thursday. It
is the arrival Of her former, Yankee
sweetheart that causes this lament,
the fun starting from that moment.
The picture is a thoroughly enjoyable
screen version Of Avery Hopwood's
stage farce by the same name. James
L: Crane heads a capable supporting
cast, and John 8. Robertson was tho
director.

Valuable Parasitic Fly.

A recent agricultural department
bulletin states that parasitic n.y.
compsilura civinnata, has been used
with great success to destroy gypsy
moth and brown tail moth in New Eng
land. 1t will also aid in the control OF
other insect pests. A few years age
the white-marked tussock moth was a
serious pest in New England, but has
practically disappeared since compsi
lura became established. The cabbage
worm. the celery worm and the fall
webworm have all been reduced by
the activities Of the new parasite.
