IScotch1 Woolen Mills , - 426 State Street Zane Grey's "Desert Gold." is proving a real attraction at, the Grand. It Is 1 a "thriller" In every sense of the words and. as one fan remarked, "has enough scraps for 10 features." The picture is action' from beginning to' end and one is hardly con scious of ' the ' passing time. The orchestra music is excellent and vt on high praise ' from those who attended th Grand' yesterday. Only the string! section vjf the new Grand orchestra ; is being used and is giving something quite; different from the usual run in picture interpretations. Desert Gold" will be shown to day only, , running continuously from 2 to 11 p. m.

This time, it is Gene Metcalfe who furnishes- the explosive. This artist presents one tf the big surprises of the season, a surprise that is indeed more than a surprise, gen- Wrally developing ; into - mystery. Gene Metcalfe is .a. character im personator. The impersonation is realistic to the ' point of "being wonderful. Gene'Metcalf Is a very exceptional person, , an artist of high, degree and possessing a voice of exceptional quality and faange. but defying the best tal ent of Sherlock; Holmes to phan tom the surprise.
