"THE FOX" SHOWING LAST
TIME TONIGHT AT GRAND
Karty Carey has won his spurs.
The Ace of the Saddle has been made
a Universal-Jewel star, and in "The
Tox," his initial super-feature, he
proved last night that he is worthy
of the honor.
1 To tb? public, the trade name
"Universal-Jewel" means that the pic
ture is sent to the screen with the best
traditions of Universal City behind
it.
"Conflict," "Outside the Law,'
"Reputation" and "No Woman
Knows," all bore the Universal-Jewel
trade mark, and "The Fox" will be
classed with these subjects.
"The Fox" as it was written by
Harry Carey and adapted to the
tcrcen by Lucicn Hubbard, scenario
editor at Universal City, concerns a
-woe-begone tramp whd is thrown
from a freight train to play a most
important part in the destiny of a
small desert town. He uncovers the
crooked doings of a grasping banker,
leads regular United States cavalry
into action to berak up a gang of
desperadoes and wins a wife after
the fastest whirl of action which he
has ever experienced in his long
career as an exponent of the range
riding hero.
Charlie Chaplin in "Easy Street'
completes Jhe program.

Beach's famous novel of the same

Matt Peaslcy, a sailor's mate, falls
in lovo with Florrie, daughter of
Cappy Ricks, ownei of a fleet of ves

match. The story takes one to the
South Seas and every scene follow
ing the murder of Matt's captain,
his thrashing of a burly Swede and
his triumphant return home to Flor

action is rapid and the love appeal
most charming. Agnes Ayres has
the leading feminine role while
Charts Abbe gives an artistic por
trayal of Cappy.
"FOOTLIGHTS" AT THE ELKO
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY
Transforming an American girl,
reared in a simple New England
town, to a pampered Russian actress
is every bit as hard as it sounds. In
"Footlights," a Paramount picture
starring*Elsie Ferguson, at the Elko
theater tonight, also Sunday matin.ee
and evening, this development is
shown step by step.
Lizzie Parsons, the American gir},
as played by Elsie Ferguson, took
two years of complete isolation and
hard study to accomplish this feat.
Her entire life had to be changed.
She had to surround herself with
Russian servants and teachers. In
stead, of simple American food, she
had to acquire a taste for herrings.
For coffee, she learned to drink tea
mixed with lemon and whiskey, with
out sugar, and she had to replace her
after-dinner apple with cigarettes.
Brett Page, a wealthy New Yorker,
falls in love with her. There is some
thing about his upright, big American
manner that mates her hate the lie
she is living. She thinks that Randolph
is in love with the temperamental
actress rather than her true self.
Then follow developments of an in
teresting nature.
"PROXIES" AT THE ELKO
MONDAY AND TUESDAY
One of the finest of the so-called
crook plays ever shown in this city,

"Proxies," a superb Cosmopolitan
production for Paramount, and the
lending roles are played by such art
ists as Norman Kerry, Zena Keefe,
Raye Dean, Paul Everton and William
H. Tooker. The story tells of the ef
forts of a former crook to live

meets with in the

Fadeless Flowers
Flowers made of petals cut from
paper tape and coated with colored
sealing wax, are among the novelties
that add to the cheerfulness of home
and Christmas litis year. A cluster
of them in several different colors, in
a vase that is also coated with the
wax, makes a very pleasing bouquet
for the living room or dining table.
The colored wax is a^ substitute for
paint and a small alcohol flame be

Glass Pavements a Failure.
Some years ago a plant was estab
lished near Lyons, France, for the
manufactuie of paving glass. Numer
ous descriptions of the new paving
material weie published, and a bril
liant future was predicted for it. The
city authoiitie". of Ljotis permitted the
manufacturer to lay a specimen sec
tion of glass paveiMept in the Place
de la ltepublique, a center for heavy
traffic.
The glass bricks failed stand the
test of wear. The edges of them were
soon broken and splintered, and many
of the blocks split in two, so that in
a short time it became necessary to
remove the glass and substitute stone
or wood. The city officials agreed
that glass pavement asm be ued un
der favorable circumstances for side*
walks, but not for the middle of streets.

EARLY-DAY POSTAL SERVICE
Devices Employed Seem Somewhat
Crude Now, but They Served the
Purpose Centuries Ago.
Most people regard the post as
modern institution yet this is not so,
for regular postal services have ex
isted for more than two thousand
years.
One of the earliest systems for the
delivery of letters was established by
Persia more than two centuries be
fore the Christian eta.
In those dajs letters were not writ
ten on paper. They took the form of
short sticks, on which a message was
inscribed either by means Of paints,
or by burning it on with a kind of
primlthe poker-work outfit. These
letteis were delivered by regular te
lays of postmen over thousands of
miles of country.
K\en the telegraph was in use in a
crude form. Messages could be sent
in an hour or two over distances of
hundreds of miles by means of a sjs
tem of shouteiN who passed them on
from one to the other.
Bouquets "Match Her Eyes."
Nothing if not up to date is the,

"The surprising thing about it," said

them whether they're deep blue or
