AT REX THEATER TUESDAY The dream of every motion pic- ture producer has at last -been real- ised. A six-reel picture has been made without sub-titles. This feat signalizes the advent of 1921 as a yeur in which revolutionary changes in the are of presenting puoto-dra- mas may be expected. A delightful phase of the produc- tion of “The Old Swimmin’ Hole” Wwith Charles: Ray as the star, and now to be seen seen at the Rex the- ater, fs that director Joseph De Grasse adhered closely to the time and locale of James Whitcomb Riley’s poem. The production was placed in the exact period when Riley wrote it, and the things which he mentioned are all there—sycamore tree includ- ed. For fortune so willed it that the swimming hole chosen by Mr. Ray is overhung by a large sydamore. pi¢turesque and inspiring. 9 Lovers of Riley will be delighted with the fidelity to detail in this lat- est Charles Ray picture. “COUNTRY THAT GOD FORGOT” AT REX THEATER THURSDAY “The Country That God Forgot” i8 to be the feature attraction at the Rex theater.on Thursday and Friday. This is a story of the Western wastes. and 2 man’s love for a wo- man, and was directed by Marshall Neilan, who is probably one of the greatest directors of today. Mr. Nell: an has just scored two distinct tri- umphs in his latest productions,.The 'River’s End,” and “Don't Ever Mar- ry,” and in “The Country That God Forgot,” he brings forth some of his best work. In this picture he has assembled a prominent cast which incluues tow Santchi, famous for his portrayal in *“The Spoilers,” and now being star- red in Goldwyn productions. Mr. Santchi plays the leading role in th production in his usual virile man- ner. Mary Charlson, former leading lady for Henry B. Walthall and other prominent stars and George Fawcett, the former Griffith player and now directing Vitagraph productions are other principals in the cast. THe re- maining supporting members are Charles Gerrard, Will Machin and Victoria Forde. “The Country That God Forgot,” is a drama of exceptional interest and is a story which will appeal to all. Interpreted and directed by such well-known peopie it cannot fail to arouse the most stolid person in its action and strong appealing force. “THE OFFSHORE PIRATE” AT THE REX THEATER TODAY Well! Viola Dana, she of the buoy- ant personality and adorable ways put another feather in her cap by her peerless acting of the stellar role in “YThe Offshore Pirate" the Metro special production which had its first showing yesterday at the Rex the- ater, as the feature attraction, for a run of two days. The captivating little actress gave in interpretation satisfyingly perfect. This epithet describes her perform- ance and the picture itself. As Ar- dita Farnham, the young helress whom friends have had captured by a pirate so as to save her from the plottings of a sinister scheming handsome foreignerr, she conveys glamor, feminine charm, and sparkle. . hat more can one want? The story deals with Ardita Far- nani, a young capricious neiress; a wily Russian in search of a rich Am- eriran wife; fellow who turns pirate to save Ar- dita. Ardita Farnam's life has been “just one darn proposal after an- other,” and she is bored until the Russian comes along and wins her with his continental suavity. While on a short cruise she is accosted by a pirate with a gang of cut throats— and then the fun begins. & Much praise os due to the finish acting of the supporting cast which includes Jark Mulhall, as:a pirate; Edward Jobson, as the uncle; and Edward Cecil, as the foreigner. “‘The Offshore Pirate,” which was adapipd from The Saturday Evening Post story of F. Scott Fitzgerald, is ably directed by Dallas M. Fitzgerald. ‘Waldemar Young wrote the scenario, and the photography is by John Arnold. DOROTHY PHILLIPS STARS IN AMBITIOUS FILM Aurora Meredith was the pet of 'the family.

Her selfish little soul delight- ed at the opportunity and she left home without regret. How she final- ly achieved her greatest desire, won fame and admiration and suitars walted .upon her pleasure, and how she found all this worldly success to be dross and vanity compared to ‘her mother’s love and the devotion of her girlhood sweetheart, are told in the production, “Once to Every Woman,” starring Dorothy Phillipg and directed by Al- len Holubar, which will be shown at the Grand theater on, tonight and Tuesaay. The combination of Dorothy Phil- lips and Allen Holubar, which gave the screen suci-masterpieces as “Paid in Advance,”” “The Heart of Human- jty'* and “The Right to Happiness,” has again resulted in what tjse critics have declared ta be a photodramatic masterpiece. ‘Dorcthy Phillips, from all ac- counts, appears at her best in the role of the haughty country school girl who becomes a famous prima donna with the world’s celebrities at her feet. She is supported by a bril- liant cast, including Robert Ander- R OF THE THEATRES 15 | passengers from their sleep. and a young dashing' sen, William ' Ellingford, Rudolph | Valentino, Frank Elliott, Mrs. Mar-: garet Mann, Emily Chichesteér, Elinor | i1 Field and many others.
