CHANCE MEETING AT HOTEL
BRINGS AN OPPORTUNITY

William Faversham, long a celeb
rity of the stage In America and Eng
land, has become star on &c screen
He is appearing in a Selznick picture,
"The Man Who Lost Himself" which
will be shown at the Elko theatre to-
night, also Saturday matinee and
evening.
In this romantic mystery drama,
the player who once delighted hun
dreds of thousands as "The Squaw
Man" and "The Hawk" appears as
an adventurous American who is "up
against it" in London. A chance
meeting in a hotel throws an oppor-
tunity his way which proves to be
more than he bargained for.
Incidents crowds upon incident;
the complications pile up on one an
other; but character wins out for
Victor Jones of Philadelphia. There's
many a dramatic situation, with
enough comedy and romance inter-
mingled to please the most fastidious.
This photoplay, it is said, as high
in any production in which Mr.. Fav-
ersham has appeared. during his en-
tire career. The supporting cast in
cludes number of noted players.

''CURTAIN" AT THE REX
=" LAST TIMES TODAY

~"Curtainw is a delightfully."- re-
freshing picture of stage life from
the celebrated Saturday Evening Post
story of Rita Wieman. It is one Of
the best starring vehicles that charm
ing Katherine Macdonald, famous
American beauty, has ever had. There
has never: been picture made that
discloses such close intimate l,nowl-
edge of the stage-for it is technical
ly correct in every detail and the
story is real from a showman's point
of view.
Nancy. Bradshaw was reared in the
environment of the stage. Her cradle
was the tray Of a theatre trunk. Jerry
Coghlan, who has known Nancy since
her birth, and who has. become a

play by young author who is her
silent admirer. She makes good.

of women of the stage and after a
whirlwind courtship, marries him. He
forces her to forsake the stage stating
that his love will fill the void. Later
a wonderful son is born to Nancy and
he helps her to overcome her long
ing for the glamour Of the footlights.
Coghlan and the young author are
constant visitors at Nancy's Long Is
land home, seeking her advice and
help on their new production. Nancy
will not listen to their attempts to
lure her back to the stage.

LAMBS of Greeks and Romans

From the stage of hand-modeling
and sun-baking, the evolution of the
lamp proceeds to the Greeks and Ro-
mans, who devoted large share of
their attention to the art Of lamp
making. Each Roman or Greek lamp
maker strove to achieve some new
Triumph in the art. Just as rare paint1
tngs bear the signatures of their paint
}ers, lamps of the early Greeks aud
Romans bear the inscribed names Of
their makers. Irrespective Of thGir
pa1e, :lickering uncertain light, the
ancient Greek and Roman lamp WAS
ta~s very costly object its valuation
ascending according to its artistic
beauty. So obSessed were they with
the beauty Of the vessel that little, if
any, consideration was given the cf-
ficiency Of the light produced by the
lamp.
