Sezmen | e . it - SRR T A ™ m semtDn DAILY PIONEER | | 4o “TRUST YOUR WIFE” AT THE REX THEATER TODAY Katherine MacDonald, the personi- fication of feminine loveliness, has been making great strides of progress ‘with her histrionic talent. Realiza- tion of this fact is forcibly brought home by her latest starring vehicle, ““Trust Your Wife,” which opened an , engagement to a capacity house at the Rex theater last night. The vehicle is unquestionably the best that has yet been given the charming star, and it provides her with a wide ‘wange of opportunity to display her art as an emotional and dramatic @actress. “Trust Your Wife’ 'is adapted from Harry S. Sheldon’s stage play, “Con- science.” In it Miss MacDonald gives a splendid characterization of Mar- got Hastings, the bride of a young western architect who goes to New York to put over a money-making scheme on a “‘shoe string.” The new- lyweds put on a big “front” in the metropolis, living /in a sumptuous apartment which is really beyond their means. Dick endeavors to get ‘the backing of Slater T. Holcomb, fi- nancier and roue. Holcomb, who is attracted by the architect’s beautiful young wife, promises to advance mo- ney, but later when he learns of their true financial condition, he tells Dick that he must put up $25,000 of his own in the scheme. Dick is discour- aged, and a letter from his bank call- ing iin a note doesn’t help matters wny. Margot determines to secretly wvisit Holcomb to induce him to con- tinue with the contract. She finds him half intoxicated oni his yacht at night. Margot’s subtle appeal finai- 1y arouses Holcomb's conscience. She leaves the cabin, but before she can disembark the yacht slips slowly «down the river. Dick, who has been Unformed ofi the proceedings by an-! other woman who has entered Hol- comb’s life, arrives at the pier ju Yn time to see the vessel gliding nwnyfl A yery tense and dramatic situa- tion follows Margot’s return home, but the aival of ‘the consdience- stricken Holcomb with explanations and backing for Dick's scheme smooths out the tangle most happily. David Winter is Katherine Mac- Donald’s leading man, and Charles Richman, who has appeared on the screen with the star before, has the role of the millionaire. Other members of the cast are (Mary Alden and the star’s sister, Mir- jam ‘MacDonald. The whole produc- tion is extremely well acted and is| an artistic as well as dramatic tri-| umph. J. A. Barry is the director of “Trust Your Wife” which is an Asso- clated First National release. “PLAYTHINGS OF DESTINY” AT REX OPENING SUNDAY Anita Stewart fin “Playthings of Destiny,” the .Associated First N tional picture which will be shown | at thg Rex theater, beginning Sun-| «lay has an unusually fascinating and | interesting role. She plays, the part| of Julie Laneau, a teacher of'a b: woods school, who falls desperately in love and marries a vacationer there. A woman claiming to be her hus- tband’s real wife, accompanied by a lawyer who tectifies to the truth of the claim, breaks her bubble of ro- mance and drives her frem her happy little home, oitt iinto a northern bli zard, The storm beats her, but a government ranger finds her, and she Tecovers in his cabin where they are snowbound for six weeks. The lapse of time with no ne of her convinces the husband thai ehe has been lost in the storm. Julie believes that she has no legal stand- ing as a wife and to shield her child from social ostracism she yields to, ithe ranger’s plea of marriage. Then Fate steps in and makes the three of them lher playthings in a manner that gives the picture its name. When the trio meet again, the happiness and ambition of the ranger is wrapped up entirely in the actions of - the vacationer. The succeeding events and the climax provide situa- tlons thatl are absorbingly interest- ting. Herbert Rawlinson plays the part of the vacationer and Walter McGail the role of the government employee. Edwin Carewe directed the filming ot the story and in the blizzard scenes is credited with having pictured, the most spectacular snow effects that have ever reachedy the scene. Jane Mufin supplied the story in her novel entitled “The Tornado,” and Paul Anthony Kelly wrote \Ll\o scenario. “THE RAIDERS” AT THE REX THEATER SATURDAY ONLY Those of our local movie devotees Wwho are fond of the picture along the lines of Marshall Neilan’s “River's Eund’ 'and Bill Hart’s “0'Malley of the Royal Mounted,” will have an oppor- tunity of seeing at the Rex theater on Satuday only, w picture which is considered to be among the best of the many film dramas which have taken their inspiration and back- ground from the Royal Northwest Mounted Police of Canada. Not since the days of the Old Santa Fe trail and the Indian uprisings in Minnesota and Montana has the North American continent had a field so fragant with romance as that of which lies in the western provinces of the Dominjon of Canada. Here throughout the entire year in little secluded posts members of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police serve their king and country as guardians of the peac 1 upholders of the law. In “The Raiders” the plcture in which Mr. Farnum will appear, the author has concccted a story which combine quick action, logical plot and suspense, followed by full satisfaction and at no time does he transgress the ibounds of possibility and probabil- y. Mr. Farnum is at lvis best in virile characters such as Private Fitzgerald of the Royal Mounted and in his uni- form he presents a picture which will miake the hearts _of many a lovely angiden palpitate, Ieriul photodrama.

GOUVERNEUR MORRIS WRITES THRILLING STORY FOR FILMS “A Tale of Two Worlds,” which is |being shown at the Grand;theater Sunday and Monday reveals much for the photoplay goer to be thank- ful for.

The spur for all his efforts is an American girl cisco’s Chinatown after her parents were killed in the Boxer uprising of 1899.

UNUSUAL CAST IN “THE FURNACE,” SHOWING TONIGHT “The Furnace,” the new William| D. Taylor production released as a| Realart Special, is an; unusually pow-| is showing at the Grand theater to- night, 1s a big production in many senses of the wora. The theme is striking, the actiont 4and plot gripping and well portrayed by an all-star cast of notables, in- ciuging sucn popular lavorites as -Agnes Ayres, Jerome Patrick, Theo- dore Roberts, Betty Fraucisco, Milton Sills, Mayme Kelso, others. Big things are usually expected of such a di- rector as William D. Taylor, who ‘produced the picture, but the gen- eral opinion is that this time Mr. Tay- lor has smashed home a real winner. The story revolves around the so- ciety marriage of a wealthy English- man and a popular London actress, the confession immediately after-| ward that he married his wife merely because he had heard that she had threatened to sue him for breach of promise if he jilted her. Their sub-| sequent estrangement and the many dramatic complications which follow | before a reconciliation is - effected The picture is an adaptation by Julia Crawford Ivers of the new novel, “The Furnace,” by the English writer, *Pap,” which promises to cre-| ate a sensation, among fiction lovers| and is just coming off the press. “The Furnace” will be shown tonight.
