ROMANCE AND LOVE IN
SHADOW OF THE ARCTIC

THE Valley OF, Doubt" a Selznick
picture directed by Burton George,
showing at the Elko theater, last
times tonight. is q highly pleasing
picture as regards both story and
cast. The story is clear-cut, con-
sistent and forceful; the cast excep-
tionally we'll chosen. The action
takes place almost entirely out-of-
doors, in the lumber camp district OF
Canada. and the scenes are unriv-
allied by any picture taken in the
SHOWS.
The. plot development is depend
emit on the efforts of two men to win
a. girl. One is prevented by his
manhood from STOPPING to underhand
methods, but the other knows only
the primitive laws OF his instinct,
and the strongest of these is the
desire for possession F the woman.

Of a fight to the finish, with excit-
ing incidents and rapid action.
