The locale of Norma Tliiutte $ elahntate puturit jlinn of "i he hier nal Flame," idapird from Jlonore Halsc's "La Duchesse de Langeai." which open today at the Mrand theater, ii France, following Naio Iron's defeat at Waterlooo, when ihe 1 eeond reiioration swept Louis XVIII and hn court hack into a' madder frivolity than it ever had known. At that time the Duke de Langraia permitted himself the in dulgence of wagering on the stain ! faith of hi 'wile, the durhess, portrayed by Mis Talmadge. Count de Martay, who hoanted his ability to win hit way to her heart before the time of her hu.bind't departure on a military mission, wat to filled with shame before her nobility of character that he acknowledged hi wrong humbly to the duke, whlrn aroused hit suspicious and led him to believe the pair were throwing dust in hi eyes. In an ensuing quarrel with the duchtit ihe learneu of the wager, which resulted in a tacit end to their marriage of conve nience. The innocent young wife, humili ated and in despair, suffered a con sequent change of heart and another season found her the reigning court beauty and coquette, with General Armand de Montriveau at her feet The romance that follows and the subsequent death of the Due de Langeait combine to make one of the most gripping at well as colorful photo dramas ever produced. Tom Mix at Moon. Starting today, the Moon theater will show "For Big Stakes," starring Tom Mix. Tom and his remarkable horse, Tony, go through all the dar ing stunts that have made them both so well liked and remembered by screen enthus'psts. Tom rules through a prairie tire to save his sweetheart and every heart in the audience will probably beat higher until the horse carries them both to safety. In expert shooting and rope throwing the sxreen never has shown a more finished artist than Tom Mix. I he story is described as one of ranid action from beginning to cnoV with threads of intense drama and vivid romance running through it. F.veryone with red blood should find an abundance of good entertainment in this photoplay. If you like out door life and adventure, if you like romance, "For Big Stakes" will fur nish them. Valentino at Rialto. Two vastly different types of wo men portray two different types of affection in "Blood and Sand, starring Rodolph Valentino at the Rialtd" this week. Lila Lee, youth ful and ingenuous, evinces a love ( sweet and tender, while Nita Naldt, colorful and exotic, sweeps every thing away wiht a volcanic, tempes tuous rush of romance. The love of Rodolph Valentino for these women provides a series of interesting sequences in the Vicente Blasco Ibanez's story of Spanish lite which June Mathis has specially adapted for the screen. As Mr. Valen tino has an international reputation as a perfect love-niaker, the roman tic episodes bid fair to be even more popular than the sensational, color ful periods laid before wild bulls in the Madrid bull ring where "Juan Gallardo" is a famous bull-fighter. Lloyd a. Sun. Harold Lloyd in "Grandma's Boy,' which opens today at the Sun theater, plays the part of a country boy who was afraid. He had no more spirit than a jack rabbit. The other kids had knocked enough chips off his shoulders to start a lumber yard. As a baby he was at'raid to call his cradle his own. At school he wore great holes in his stockings, where his knees shooK logciner. .m 1 he was meek, modest and retir ing. The boy 1 most precious posses sion was his old-fashioned grandma.

Austrian Scenery Affords Mecca for Film Producers Austria has long been noted among tourists for its magnificent scenery and many different types of inter esting architecture, but not until re cently has it made any very distinct efforts to cater to the motion picture industry as a producing center. Now, however, it has come to a sudden realization of the value of its wonderful resources and with active government co-operation has set about co-ordinating and tabulating in a most painstaking way every possi ble piece of information that might be of use in picture producing. The Austrian Film service, with headquarters in Vienna, is the name of the official bureau that acts as a clearing house expressly established I to be of assistance to picture pro ducers. Here, under the supervision of experts in every department, are . kept complete records of every loca tion mat might be used to advantage as a picture setting, together with photographic . archives depicting quaint and unusual buildings, archi tectural motives, placet of historical interest, etc., all systematically ar ranged tor ready reterence. The bureau through its official af filiations is in a position' to obtain special permits and privileges, ar range for railroad transportation, te cure hotel accomodations and other wise facilitate and expedite the tak ing of pictures. Production has begun on "A Daughter of Luxury," starring Ag nes Ayres.. It was adapted from the play, J he Imnostcr," by Beu lah Marie Dix and is under the di rection of Paul Powell .
