worth while vehicle than tBig Hap

opened at the Elko theatre last night
where it again appears tonight. This
production, the first Mr.. Farnum has
made for Robertson-Cole, gives this
notable star splendid opportunity
to display his ab!lityisas dramatic
actor, and not once thruout the pic
ture does he disarpo:ntS,his audience.
His performance is a remarkable one,
= s.'Bfg Happiness" is big, dramatic
story with a wholesale moral. 1t
was adapted to the screen by Jack
giram from the famous novel
of the same name. .@
ut is a gripping story of twin bro
TIERS. one heartless man OF the
world whose one desire is wealth, the
other a less successful fellow who
dwells in the slums, but possesses a
happy nature and heart of gold.
BY a strange trick of fate the poor
but honest" brother, is called upon to
,impersonate the other. a leading fl
nancier, during his enforced absence.
The story interest is further en-
HANGED by the fact that the wealthy
brother had just married a beautiful
girl who did not love him, but mar
ried him because of the financial con-
ditions of her family. Gradually,
however she learns to love the mas
q,lerader, because of his ,gentleness
and kindness, Her love is returned,
hut owing to the peculiar situation
her make-believe husband cannot tell
her of, his affection.
The climax makes this story one
of tremendous dramatic appeal. The
supporting cast in this picture Is
exceptionally good, containing such
names as Kathryn Adams, popular
leading lady of the screen, Fred Nal
atesta, the noted portrayer of Evil
LAIN roles, Joseph j.. Downing, of

.. Mr.. Lewis will be supported by a
Large and Notable DIST, which in
cludes Gladys Field, Alexander Shan
non, Harold Forshay, Leslie Austin
and Dora Mills Adams.
This picture has attracted great
interest in New York and elsewhere
from the fact that just now there are
two claimants for the honor Of being
the best Jekyll and Hyde on the
screen One is Sheldon Lewis and the
other is John Barrymore.
Both men. present very interesting
studies of Stevenson's great charac-
ter, and, while they differ in many
respects, it is extremely hard for even
a trained critic to say who is the
better. m $s,.,,s.s' III. .sgg.-:s:- : " d..
In some Of the scenes, particular

center of the screen, Mr. Lewis seems
to bring out the distorted horror Of

er effectiveness. *-.>%v$.%, 49,
The production has been mounted
with an eye to making the rendition
of the story extremely ufamatic, and
a fortune has been spent on the read
