LON CHANEY IN POWERFUL
PICTURE AT GRAND SUNDAY
Gouverncur Morris, the Golwyn
'Eminent Author, who, wrote "The
'Penalty," and "A Tale of Two
Worlds," has succeeded in adding
another powerful story to his Gold
wyn photoplays with the production
of'"Ace of Hearts," which will be
shown at the Grand theater tomorrow
{Sunday) and Monday.
The author has expressed himself
as fortunate in having such splendid
players as Lon Chancy, Leatrice Joy
and John Bowers irfthe leading roles.
Mr. Chancy will be remembered for
his uncanny impersonation of the
legless criminal in Mr. Morris' story,
"The Penalty." In "Ace of Hearts"
his role is that of a dreamer whose
passion for social reform is so great
that he will not even stop at murder
tp reform the world.
The story itself tells of the mis
guided attempt of a group of reform
to rid the world of men who have
preyed upon the weak and helpless.
Their method is to exterminate those
who, in their eye9, have been social
criminals, no matter how rioh and
powerful the criminals may be. The
only feminine member of the group is
played by Leatrice Joy and she is
self-sacrifice, through which many of
the members discover that their aims
may be good but their methods futile.

theater next Tuesday and Wednesday
there is a guaranteed smilage of three
thousand feet of high-powered fun

gers are the susal tried-and-true
itolin comedians.
"WHAT EVERY WOMAN KNOWS
AT ELKO, STARTING TONIGHT
William DeMille has broken motion
picture traditions xotr perhaps the
first time in the history of the screen,
by making his latest Paramount pro
duction exactly like the original, with
out change in theme, plot or char
acters. This new picture is a film ver
sion of Sir James M. Barrie's cele
brated play, "What Every Woman,
Knows," and it will be shown at the
Elko theater tonig'ht, also Sunday
matinee and evening.
And this is not the only unusual
feature about the new picture, which
is founded op Sir James M. Barrie's
noted play. It is an unusual story
throughout, according to report. Lois
Wilson plays the leading woman's
role and others in the cast are Charles
Ogle, Fred Huntly. Guy Oliver, Win
ter Hall and Lillian Tucker. Olga
Printzlau wrote the scenario.
The story deal?, with the fortunes
of a young student with political as
pirations who steals into a home of
wealth at night to read certain books
he is unable to obtain otherwise. He
is caught and the result is an agree
ment that in consideration of the pay
ment to him of $1,500 he will marry
the daughter of the household within

captivating developments, all contrib
uting to make this screen story one
of the most entertaining produced
this season.
"THE BROADWAY BUBBLE" AT
THE ELKO THEATER MONDAY
Corinne jGriffith is famous for her
versatility,'for her charm of manner
in different roles, for her beauty in
any character. Thousands of motion
picture patrons have discussed the
question of what type of woman the
radiant young star can represent most
impressively.
"The Broadway Bubble." which will
be shown at the Elko theater on
Monday and Tuesday, gives the ad
mirers of Corinne Griffith an oppor
tunity to compare their favorite with
herself, for in this sensational drama
the star appears in a dual role. As
twin sisters, she appears in many
scenes in both characters.
The sisters look alike, but are
dressed far differently in the first
scenes in which they appear together.
One is the wife of a millionaire, with
a cultivated taste for dress and the
atrical aspirations. The other is a
poorly paid stenographer in a small
town law office.
Which Corinne Griffith is most at
tractively garbed? They appear to
gether on the screen.

COURT BLOW TO BETTING
STARTS FLOOD OF SUITS
By Charles McCann,
(United Press Stnff Correspondent)
London, Nov. 26.British book
makers have just received a blow that
may mean the end of the present bet
ting system in England and at best
means millions of pounds in law-suits
before the present law has changed.
The House of Lordsthe final ap
peal courthas decided that betting
by bank check is illegal.
The decision means that any per
son who has paid or received a bet by
check during the last six years
after which the statute of limitations
invalidates claimscan sue or be
sued for the money.
Ic means that bookmakers may be
sued by losers, or by the heirs of
losers, for hundreds of millions of
dollars and can in turn sue for more
hundreds of millions from successful
backers and that the courts, unless
the law is changed, can do nothing
except order repayment.
A backer sued a London bookmaker
for $25,000 lost in betting on a horse
race ami paid by check. The lower
court decided in favor of the bettor,
and the appellate courts in turn back
ed up the decision.
Already suits for recovery of losses
are pending involving $3,500,000.
There will be nothing to it now ex
cept collecting the money. Similarly,
the decision affects losses in any kind
of betting, .such as card-playing at
clubs, can be recovered provided they
were paidas is customary all over
Englandby check.
And England is a betting country.
The bets range from a penny up to
the tens of thousands of pounds that
the Solly Joels and Jimmy Whites put
up when their horses are running.
London papers go to press with every
horse race in England, and everyone
in London, from charwomen to cabi
net members and the royal princes,
bet frequently, freely and unashamed.
The ordinary backer deals with one
or two or three bookmakers, with
whom he has accounts. His winnings
and losses are paid by check. And
every bet paid by check by anyone in
England within the last six years is
illegal.
'ihe House of Lords already has
discussed the decision (given by the
House of Lords technicaly, but by
the law lords of the House actually)
with a view to obtaining joint legis
lation with Commons to remove the
danger of an avalanche of suits that
will choke the legal machinery of
England. The Lord Chancellor stated,
his sympathy with the desire of other
lords for a measure to legalize the
bets. But the decision is the law of
the land, and cannot be changed ex
cept by legislation by parliament. And
parliament has been prorogued.
