 many people," says Miss Thomas. "be- Ilieve that the art of dancing is con fined to the very young. Of course Governor Beeckman isn't an old man by any means, but everybody ought to know that if it came to dancing con, test between governors, the Rhode

Valley of Tomorrow Showing at Central Today and Tomorrow

Up at Lake Tahoe, it has been said, there is more geography to the square mile than can be found in equal area anywhere else on the round earth.
 You are ready to O. K. that state ment when you see ''The Valley of To morrow. which will be shown at the Central Theatre today and tomorrow and which the producers announce was filmed in its entirety at Lake Tahoe and along the Trukee River.
 The majestic peaks, towering trees and rugged underbrush of this lovely glacier lake furnished atmosphere ready made to the directors hand and the camerman's lens. The setting is particularly appropriate to the story, which is one of clash and conflict throughout-the stern justice of a trl- bal code at war with the humanity of A broader creed; hate warning with love; vengeance at grips with grati- tude; traditional duty at odds with new vision of right and wrong.
 Done with more imagination than the average picture, "The Valley or Tomorrow" goes whirling up in cres- cendo of tensely dramatic happen ings. gives you walloping kick in the emotions, and leaves you smiling and satisfie dover its happy ending.

Gay Partisan Life Depicted at Eagle Theater Two Days

''The Devils Pass Key" a story of wife is helped out financially by a chivalrous American army officer will he shown at the Eagle Theatre today and Monday.
 The picture is the latest Universal. Jewel production by Erich von Stro- helm, author and director of the re' cent Universal-Jewel success, Blind Husbands"
 Sam de Grasse. who played the part of the husband in Blind Husbands, has the part of an American author living in Paris with his attractive wife, played by Una TrSTelyn. She becomes deeply indebted to an interruptions modiste, who expects here to adopt the method of getting a rich admirer to pay her bills. The modiste involves her with a wealthy American army of ficer. who realizes that she is inno- cent and unsophisticated. He unself- ishly helps her in order to shield an other woman with whom he has had a passing filtration.
 The husband hears of the incident but does not know the identity of the persons concerned. He uses the facts for the plot of play which proves great success. The fact that all Paris believes he has deliberately paraded his wifes indiscretions before the pub lie for his own financial advantage leads to a climax as startling as it is unexpected.

The leading players in this photo drama of tangled hearts are Walter McGrail, Leatrice Joy, Walter Miller, Grace Darmond, and Tom Bates. Leila Burton Wells is the author of the story, and Thomas R. Mills directed the production.
 ''The Invisible Divorce" shifts in set ting from the artistic to the business world,.a depicts the disillusionments that come to a romance-fired young couple who start their journey along the matrimonial road in poverty and without definite plan, and who are be set with obstacles at almost every step.
 What started out as an exotic, rosy. hued romance gradually assumes the tinge of an impending tragedy, and the realization and return of love do not materialize until four persons have trod the thorny path for considerable distance.

Nazimova, the screens greates, ac- tress, comes to the Central Theatre Friday and Saturday and Eagle Thea tre Sunday and Monday, in a picturiza- tion of Frank Danby's most celebrated novel, 'The Heart of a Child"
 In this, her newest production, the Russion star appears in a character entirely different from any sine has essayed in the past, that of Sally Shape, cockney girl from the Lime house district of London who is fore ed to face the world with no other means of protection than her innate goodness. her inborn sense of what is right, her child's heart.
 There is iii "The Heart of a Child" a gOrgeousness of pictorial beauty. The early tenement-street scenes are done with amazing fidelity to detail, yet created with an eye to the pie turesque that brings their shabbiness to border on the quaint. Such later bits of the story as the Bohemian rev el, the theatrical dressing room scenes the glimpses of, Lord Kidderminister's hunting lodge, with its manorial dig nity, and later the superb beauty of his family estate all go to make up a series of strikingly pleasing scenes.
