Beyond the novelty of seeing Sessue
Hayakawa in the role of a villainous
Mexican bandit, "The Jaguar's Claws."
at the Nelson today, is a dashing picitX".
ture' lacklnK in no essential that
makes for thrilling melodrama or the
modern type. There is suspense, action,
love and heroism, with a "heavy"
. who leaves nothing to the imagination.
The "shots" of the Alkali plains, the
, cactus-grown desert and the little Mex
if'can town are admirable and the tinted
scenes are singularly effective.
There are two charming feminine j
leads played by Fritzi Brunette and I
Marjorle Haw, while Tom Moore is a |
Isr.usiaciory nero.
The story has to do with the bandit, I
El Jaguar's abduction of the wife nnd '
lister of a young manager of an Amcrlran
oil company and their narrow escape,
when a cast off favorite of the
chieftain murders him. Suspense enters
when the manager Is given bis
choice of freedom with either sister
or wife, leaving the other in the bandit's
power.
The direction by Marshall Neilan Is
admirable throughout and the story is
rendered convincing without sacrificing
any of Its dramatic thrill.
Naturally the big feature of this
film Is Sessue Hayakawa's interpretation,
but there is a strong story ana
cast to back him up. - Any audience

Relief from Eczema
Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy akin by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
extra large bottle at $1.00.
Zemo generally removes pimples, blackheads,
blotches, eczema, and ringworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy, i
Zemo is a clean, penetrating, antiseptic,
j liquid, neither sticky nor greasy and stains ;
nothing. It is easily applied and costs a
mere trifle for each application. It is
always dependable,

Hipp Bill Has Weak Spots.
Most ot' the audiences nttendimr the
midweek performances of the "Belle
Isle Beauties" at tlie Hippodrome theatre
are made up of regular patrons
and to them "Love's Entanglements"
is just something to be tolerated with
cheerfulness. The exceptionally good
attractions, with one exception, which
Lave been playing at this house so far
this season and the number of known

it is their disposition to average them
up and be satisfied. But to those who

seemingly, too. have the misfortune to
pick only the bad ones, an entirely different
impression is created. It is
can be fairly said that the show does
not give universal satisfaction, and
for reasons that are obvious. There is
no plot to the skit, and the comedy,
some alleged, is a disjointed collection
of bits. It is weak on specialties save
for the one act introduced by the fei1<

Crook Play at Dixie.
Although tha story of "Midnight
Man," at the Dixie today, principally
concerns the career of a young Inventor
who Is perfecting a burglarproof
lock for the safes manufactured
by hla father, and his love affair that
runa along at the same time, the Interest
automatically centers on the
reformation of a crook. This man, one
of the cleverest safe crackers, a la Jimmy
Valentine. In the country, proves
that the Inventor's new lock Is not perfect
by opening It with ease In the deaa
of one pleasant night and extracting
for bis own use the contents of the
safe. The young lock-maker decides
that the burglar would be valuable In
the factory, which he turns out to be,
at the same time remaining honest.
Together they construct a real thiefproof
contrivance.
The plot Is a bit too thin to fill five
reels and consequently many side issues
have been introduced. Threequarters
of the way through the pic- j
ture the climax becomes perfectly oh-1
vious and a spectator's interest just
I naturally ceases to be quite as close
! The blame for this must not be placed
j on the shoulders of the director, as he
eas made a valiant effort with the maI
terial he had In hand. He has estab-.
j lished a good crook atmosphere In some ,
c.i the scenes, and the incidents that
