AT THE REX
THEATER NEXT SUNDAY

For the first time in the history
Of motion pictures Booth Tarking-
TOMS inimitable characters of his
'Penrod" stories have been welded
into one complete feature picture.
Marshall Neilan is the director who
has essayed this task, and his latest
production under the title of "Pen-
rod" is the First National Attrac-
ton that will be seen at the Rex
theater next Sunday.
The picture is said to live up, in
every respect, TO the characters
Booth Harrington has immortalized
in print. For the main incidents of
his picture Mr.. Neilan has drawn
upon the formation of the American
Boys Protective Association, the
amateur theatrical "The Children's
Pageant at the Table Round; the
drink episode; the encounter with
Rupe Collins, tough boy; and the
capture of two notorious bandits.
For his settings the director has
chosen a typical rural town of per-
haps $4,000 population. 'Penrod's
father and mother represent middle
class people with inordinate pride in
their only son and caustic regret
over the necessity for administer
ing chastisement upon him.
Other characters in the town, the
clergyman, constable, society FRO
motors of dramatic events and dane
'ng school enthusiastics, have been
retained in the making Of the film
version.
Freckles Barry plays the title role.
Assisting him is a large ensemble
Of juveniles and sprinkling of
adult actors including Marjorie
Daw, Tully Marshal and Eugene
! Besserer.

,, such dive before His gambling had
been done in gilded luxury. While he
touched shoulders with this motley
crew his nOstrils twitched with fas-
tidious disdain. He played, but his
interest was not in the wheel. Du-
rand had promised that there would
be women and that one of them should
be bribed to make claim upon Clay
| at the proper moment. He had an un-
happy feeling that the gang politician
| had thrown him down in this. If so,
| what did that mean? Had Durand
some card up his sleeve? Was he
using him as catspaw to rake in his
own chestnuts?
Clarendon Bromfield began to weak
en-. He and Clay were the only two
men in the room in evening clothes.
His questing eye fell on tough, Scared
faces that offered his fears no re-
assurance. Any one or all Of them
might be agents Of Durand.
He showed all of his chips out, put
ting half Of them on number eight and
the rest on seventeen. His object was
to lose. his stack Immediately and be
| free to go. TO-, his annoyance the
| whirlifg ball dropped into the pocket

to Lindsay In a low voice. II don't
like it,
"Suits me-" agreed the other.
AS Bromfield was cashing his chips
Clay come rigidly to attention. Two
men had just come into the room. One
OF them was "Slim'' Jim Collins, the
other Gorilla Dave. AS vet they had
not seen him. He did not look at them,
but at his host. There was a question
in his mind he wanted solved. The
clubman's gnze passed over both the
newcomers without the least sign of
recognition.

these scenes, ace between a sea

lowing this chase comes one in

replica of those thrilling events

mer Mondays. In endeavoring to

1.-THE TRUTHFUL LIARS" AT
GRAND THEATER TONIGHT

Who killed Potts?
Or Smith or Brown or Jones or
any Of the hundreds who yearly
fall victims of the secret assassin's
hand?
That is the enternal fascination
of the mystery picture. A problem
to solve: that is what holds the
GREATNESS interest, and this is what
you will find in "The Truthful
LIAR, Wanda Hawley's new Real
art picture which will close run
of two days at the Grand theater
Few know the American public's
taste, whether in reading drama or
screen entertainment better than
Will Payne noted novelist. So when
he came to write his first original
screen story, starring Wanda Haw-
lev, he based his dramatic climax
upon the most compelling of all
situations-the mysterious killing OF
a man.
Miss Hawley is supported in this
picture by Edward Hearn, Casson
Ferguson, Charles A. Stevenson,
George Siegmann, Lloyd Whitlock
and E. A. Warren.

also appears on the program in
comedy entitled peaceful Alley"

THE TRUTHFUL LIAR" AT
ELKO THEATER TONIGHT

One of the best pictures that Wan
da Hawley has been starred in is
"The Truthful Liar" a Realart pro-
duction which appears at the Grand
.heater last times tonight.
"The Truthful Liar" is a story
with a plot that continually builds.
In the latter part of the picture
touch of mystery has been added
which serves remarkably we'll to inten-
sify the climax. AS a drama done
to show the Importance of seemingly
.nconsequential matters that can
make or mar a matrimonial venture
this picture renders good service
without sermonizing.
