APPEARANCES" AT ELKO
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY

Setting a new high standard for
excellence, Donald Crisp's Paramount
production of appearances, which
comes to the Elko theater for two
days, beginning tomorrow, Wednes-
day. is in many respects remark
able photoplay.
The story itself was written by
Edward Knoblock, playwright Of
international fame. The theme deals
with that class that is given to living
far beyond its means in order to keen
up appearances in society. This pro-
pensity all but leads to al tragedy in
the lives of several persons, and in
the development OF the story many
scenes of great dramatic power arise.
The outdoor views, many of them
photographed on the grounds of his
torical Highcliffe Castle in Hamp-
shire, England, are most beautiful.
The fine English landscape is pic
tured in all it's rich beauty and many
views will be easily recognized by
any one who has travelled in King
Georges domain. The interior set
tings are wonderfully massive.
The players appearing in the pic
ture are thorough artists. Mary
Glynne, the beautiful English actress
who was seen in 1.-THE Call of Youth"
has the leading feminine role, while
David Powell, popular with Para
mount audiences, has the leading
mans part. The perturbation was
made by Margaret Turnbull, a seem
artist of international reputation.

FAMOUS WESTERN NOVEL
MADE INTO PHOTOPLAY

The romance of old California, it's
lOvts and battles, is smashlngly de-
picted as the background for Carmel
Myers artistry in "The Kiss the
stars latest Universal photodrama,
which is to begin its local engage
ment at the Grand theater tomorrow
only.
Johnston McCully wrote the story
which originally appeared in book
form as "Little EroIinda." 1t was
purchased by Universal from among
hundreds of stories submitted for
Miss Myers at the time and produced
under the direction of Jack Conway.
The story concerns young girl,
the daughter of ranch foreman,
who loves the son Of the owner OF a
vast California estate. The difference
in caste restraints them until an
amazing sequence Of thrilling adj
venture levels the artificial barrier
OF birth and brings them together
for. a breath climax.
Miss Myers is amazingly pretty as
Erolinda, the heroine, while William
r. Lawrence has exceeded his pre-
vious screen successes in the leading
masculine ro1e.3of Andre Baldarama.
p. J. Lockney, j. j. Lance, Harvey
Clarke, Jean Acker and Ed Brady
play the remaining roles with vigor
which greatly enhances the dramatic
appeal of the production as a whole.

MarcOni Believes
Planet Mars Is
Signalling Earth

New York, Sept. 1.-WireIesS waves
100000 metres long which he believed
NAV have come from Mars, were pick
ed up several months ago by Gugliel-
mo Marconi during experiments
aboard his yacht Electra in the Me-
iterranean.
J. C. H. Macbeth, London manager
of the Marconi wireless telegraph con-
Germ. made this statement today at
luncheon of the Rotary Club.
The maximum wave length produced
in the world today is $4,000 metres.
Mr.. Macbeth said, and teh regularity
of the waves detected by Mr.. Marconi
and other experts led them to believe
that they were not electrical disturb
anches. but efforts of Mars to get into
communication with the earth. The
only resemblance of the waves to any
code used on the earth was 2 SINH
larity to the letter ", in the Inter
national Code.
On April S. 1920, when Mr. Marconi
set out from London on an experiment
tai voyage he declared he was not
going fishing for Messages"
and attributed wireless disturbances,
which at that time were felt stimuli
taneously on three continents to cleo
trical disturbances in the sun or some
equally remote place.
