OLIVE THOMAS HERE IN
"EVERYB0DY'S SWEETHEART"

Olive Thomas has appeared in
great variety Of roles during her
screen career but it is doubtful II
any OF her preceding characterize
lions excel or even equal her present
portrayal Of Mary, the little "no-
body" in EVERY body's Sweetheart,"
which is now appearing at the Elko
theater for the last time tonight.
In spite of Mary's position, or lack
of it she is constant and living
emblem of optimism. No matter
what happens, Mary keeps her chin
up and smiles and when in the final
part of the picture the dreams OF this
modern "Cinderella" come true, ev-
cry person in the audience smiles
both with and at Mary. = &. RI.
"Everybody's Sweetheart" is not
simply a story of saceharine shippers
and smiles but a we'll balanced dra-
matte tale of how the spirit of youth
and inherent cheerfulness conquers
all obstacles in reaching its goal. u
Director Laurence Trimble has
surrounded the star with a cast Of
unusual caibre with Willie Collier,
Jr. son of the. famous comedian. as
leading man. John Lynch Is both
author and scenaristl Of the story.

begins by swapping his horse (not

finally gets it going. He rides back
to the ranch. He can't stop the car.
He rides through a fence and then
barn, and at length he yells to his
cowboy friends to shoot hole in the
gas tank to make it halt.

is maintained throughout the pic.
