"PINk GODS" AT THE ELkO
"WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY

There are many scenes OF romance
and mystery in "Pink Gods, Penrhyn

which comes to the Elko theatre to-
morrow and Thursday. They involved
the use Of 100 of Los Angeles black
est Africans to play Zulus. Boer nat
ives. mine guards and curious spec
tators. In strong contrast to these
are scenes in luxurious hotels, with
beautifully dressed women, and par
ticularly interesting are the exqms-
ite4gowns worn by Anna Q. Nilsson
and Bebe Daniels.
The age-old lure of diamonds, for
women and the lengths to which many
women will go to acquire the prec-
ious stones, is the theme Of this Gym
thia Stockley story. To quote from
the forewori "No Arabian tale can
outstrip the romance of diamonds
tokens of love, but also perpetual
symbols of strife and passion"
