FLAME OF YOUTH" AT THE
REX TODAY AND WEDNESDAY

What is the secret OF the success
of Shirley Mason, the dainty little
motion picture star, who since she
first starred in a Fox production
some months ago, has won her way
to the front rank. The answer is to
be found in ELAINE of Youth" her
latest picture-and said to be her
best-which comes to the Rex the
alter today.
Advance reports indicate that
Flame Of Youth is a sweet love
story, filled With human: interest,
built on a theme that young and old
can equally enjoy. That is to say,
1t is typically Shirley Mason story
This description could apply to all
of them, from Her Elephant Man."
her first great success, to 1.-THE Little
,,'Wanderer" and Merely Mary Ann"
in which she added to her laurels.
Differing widely in theme, they all
have this sweetness and daintiness
In common; and it is into such
stories that the charming personal
ity Of Miss Mason fits most admir-
ably.
The picture was directed by How
ard NJ. Mitchell.

NEWS OF THE THEATRES

where III. B. Warner admits that
Frank Leigh, as a hypnotist, has a
petty power over the minds of men,
but that he cannot subvert the
Divine Mind, and he will find this
true when he attempts to make a
good man do an vil;thing. n; s.
4 The hypnotist dares Warner to- al
low himself to be hypnotized, and he
finally submits. The thypnotist then
commands Warner to kill Howard
Davies, a member of the house party
who has forced his attentions on An
ma @. Nilsson, whom Warner loves.
The next morning Davies is dis
covered murdered, and the hypnotic
spell over Warner is SO. compelling as
to make him really think that he
killed Davis. The .unravelling of the
mystery is battling, to say the least.

ton Of Zone Hour Before Dawn"

REASON FOR colo RED EGGS
Mother Nature Painted Them That
They Might Be Preserved From
Their Natural Enemies.

Nature eGnips all living things with
protection Of some kind against their
enemies. Z. Il Ssfss.s i. Is XII .s
The larger animals are able, by rea.
7 son Of their strength, to give. q good
account Of themselves in. combat. Birds
and many OF the smaller animals de-
pend upon the frapidity OF their move
ments. But there is another effective
means Of self-pres known as
protective celebrations" go 'i.ss5> 4 J.
q 4. Snakes and many varieties Of fish
form an excellent illustrati4p. Their
scales are SO colored that they blend
with the, surrounding rocks or the shad-
! Ows Of the water, MAKING them al
most invisible to the eye. In fact, 1t
is only when one of these protective
~ c0lOred animals moves thatdts pres
ence is apparent. @ 8:
The same principle is responsible
for the different, colors Of birds eggs.
The mother bird is unable to fight
aggressively, so She has to seek refuge
lin flight. During the time she is
away from the nest, either seeking
safety from her. enemies or, looking
for food, the eggs must be protected
in somecmanner. It is for this reason
that they are cOlored to blend with
the surroundings in which they are
laid-some of them spotted because
they are laid in the sand or among
pebbles, others buff-colored> or green
TO match the material of the nest.
