in New York.
Lily Drake, dancer of the Club

but real and true when the tarnlsh
and tinsel are off. She is sought by
many men, including a typical New
York man about town and youth
from the country. In the. contest
between them to win her hand and
in the final incidents, Miss Beranger

POLLY OF THE FOLLIES" AT
REX THEATE TONIGHT

"Polly of the Follies," the First Ma
tional attraction came to the Rex
theater Thursday for run of two
days. Constance Talmadge takes the
title role in a story written especial
ly for her by John Emerson and An
tia Loos and which gives her unusual
opportunities to display her forte Of
light comedy.
The final scenes of the picture
are transplanted to New York where
famous Broadway beauty chorus
is shown both in the act of rehears-
ing for the annual review and in the
theater on the opening night.
"Polly of the Follies,' has been ac-
claimed by critics who have seen it
to be among the best Of Miss Tai
madges pictures.
In "Polly of the Follies" Miss Tai
madge goes through the entire stock
of customers store. A country girl
at the start, she changes to Dutch
ptantaloon costume for a. novelty
act. Later she appears in a Roman
garb as part of a charity perfor-
nance. The harem scene comes in
after she has entered the famous
Follies' Beauty Chorus under the
tutelage of Flo Ziegfeld.
Margaret Troppman, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. F. G. Troppman of this

:kMKEMlENB&
my BOY" AT REX THEATER
SATURDAY FOR THREE DAYS

my Boy" an Associated First
National attraction which is sched-
uled to start a three day run at the
Rex theater is one of the most fas-
cinating stories ever shown on the
screen.
The, star of the production is
Jackie Coogan, made famous through
his work with Charles Chaplin in
"The Kid" and as star in his own
right in "Peck's Bad Boy"
Pathos and humor have been skill
fully blended by the director into
a production that grips the heart
and compels one to return to the
theater to see the picture again.
As an orphan, who has arrived
in New York friendless and home
less, Jackie makes an appealing
figure. The story, written especially
for him, furnishes this little star with
part that fits him to perfection
and allows him full sway to demon
strate that he possesses exceptional
histrionic ability.
Claude Dillingwater and Mathil-
da Brundage are in the supporting
cast.

DOORS" AT THE ELKO
THEATER LAST TIME TODAY

No glycerine tears for Alice Cal
houn, the Vitagraph star, who will
be seen at the Elko theater tonight
last time. Realism is her aim.
IF l can't cry naturally" said
Alice to her director, II won't cry
at all. If you wish me to shed plen-
+ ty of real tears you can help me "a
great deal by playing the talking
machine"
She named a number of records
that always make her cry and Dr.
rector George V. Seyffertitz sent
the property boy after one OF them.
A victrola was installed near the set
and the record startedt 1t was but
an instant before Alice begana to
sniffle and soon real tears we're
rolling down her cheeks.
Miss Calhoun is naturally emotion
al and her sympathies are Easily
played upon. In ''Closed Doors" she
has a heavy dramatic role. In the
earlier scenes she is a young girl
LIGHT hearted and care free. The
story covers period of several
wears and the star is given oppor-
tunity to show her ability to mature
before the camera. She plays the
lead at the ages Of fourteen, eight
cen and twenty-five. The story is
one that is sure to hold the interest
and has in addition to many dramatic
scenes, vein Of humor running
throughout it. 49, :,

cause he didn't believe such records
told true story of a pitchers worth.
The American league substituted a
system that showed the earned runs
made off each pitcher in an effort to
determine the effectiveness Of the
American league twirlerS.
The great desire to know who won
or lost the game, however, has caused
the two major leagues again to use
such records relative TO the pitchers.
II doesn't seem as if 1t is possible
to establish any set rules to cover this
feature Of baseball For example,
Recently in the National league.
Brooklyn played at Cincinnati. Couch
pitched eight and two-thirds innings
for Cincinnati. He retired in the ninth
with two down, when Brooklyn broke
the to tie, forging ahead by one
run.
Markle replaced Couch and on the
first bail pitched the Brooklyn batter
was retired. ending the inning.
Cincinnati in the last half of the
ninth made two runs, winning the
game Z to s.
The records give Markle, who
pitched only one ball, credit for win
ming the game.
While probably correct from a base
BAH standpoint, it hardly looks like a
sane conclusion. Seems as though the
official score should be permitted to
reach a verdict based on fairness.
