BLACK BEAUTY AT THE
ELKO THEATER TOMORROW

A Picture that will excite more
than passing comment will be shown
at the Elko theater tomorrow, also
Monday and Tuesday. 1t is visuaLi-
cation of Anna Sewelrs famous nov
lei Black Beauty" The film is one
of the most unique to be flashed up
on the screen. 1t marks new era
of story telling, that 70 blending two
narratives into one and at the same
time keeping each story separate from
the other. This feat, which several
have attempted and failed has been
achieved by Lillian and George Ran
dolph Chester, authors Of internation-
al repute. .5~
Il Anna Sewell's story was that seen
by the horse. It limited at things that
were going on in the big house, but
which Black Beauty could not know.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chester have supplied
the inside story after carefully ana
lying Anna SewelPs narrative. They
made this coincide with the original
tale in every instance so that the
two blended into one and the reason
for the Squire going to town on the
rainy day in which the bridge was
swept away is made clear. 1t also
shows why the family went to the ho-
tel the night the stables took fire and
Black Beauty had a thrilling escape.
Every incident in Anna Sewell's story
Is illustrated in the picture and is in
no way subord!nated to the nara
tive. r
* The film was directed by David
Smith, famed as the director of big
pictures in which animals have i'm
p6rtant roles. He is one of the best
animal directors lin the business. A
large and expensive cast was engaged
for the production and headed by Jean
Paige. s%zl. - ~ T. e.
The leading feminine role requires
much of the young star and is con-
sidered far more difficult than dual
role, as she must portray the charac-
ter from the age Of thirteen to nine
teen years. James Morrison, who
plays opposite Miss Paige, has an
equally difficult role: The cast in
,ludes such well known names as
George Webb, Bobby Mack, John
Adele Harrington and
Charles Morrison. +.

pulsates with a sympathy attuned to

stretches from the depths to the
heights of the social scale-from the
