Davis as screened at Hotel Astor, New York | vity, on Tuesday evening, November 23, ranks as one of the most remark- able productions of the year. Sure- 1y and beyond a single doubt, it is the best story of the northwest ever told on the screen. Scenically, it is a masterpiece. Technically, it belongs in the classification of truly great plctures. Directorially, it is Edwin Carewe at hig best, for it is the tri- umph of the meteoric career of that producer. As for the acting, “Isobel” stands out as a thoroughly human picture, every character being so per- fect and so realistic that each seems to reach out and firmly with a tender spot in the heart of the spectator. “Isobel” marks a truly auspicious entry into the independent field by Mr. Davis. It is a production that James Oliver Curwood can look upon with personal pride, for it was Ms] story that made possible this picture. | Its background furnished an inspira- tion that prompted the producer to go the limit. The colorful icy fields of the northwest present a most al- luring spectacle- treat seldom | furnished by the screen. It is the real thing that is offered. Not a single detail has been overlooked. Tu the one who knows the mnorthland only by what he or she may have| read, it is a presentation that is edu-| cational. | The current year has recorded many splendid film features ,but for | scenery and photography “Isobel” | takes its place at the top of the Iad-} der.

Ac- cording to the expectations of its producers, it is destined to be hailed as one of the really impressive photo- dramas of the year. Advance reports on “The Great Redeemer” dwell with especial force upon the unusual beauty of the pro- duction from a pictorial standpoint, as well as upon its intensely dramatic theme and the tremendous meral message it carries to all who view it. Dan Malloy, as the story goes, has eluded a posse that pursues him after he has held up a train, and takes refuge in the home of a girl of the mountains. The girl, startled by his sudden and unarnounced entrance into the cabin, shoots the bandit, wonnding him slightly. Later, after hearing his story and fulling under the spell of his dominating person- ality, she begins to love him. With Dan it has been case of love at first sight, and he is soon contemplat- ing the abandonment of his career as a bandit for a fireside and respecta- bility. Temptation soon appears in the person of a former pa!, who tips Dan off to the fact that the limited car be held up with ease if Dan wil! essay one more fling at his old game. Dan succumbs and attempts the hold-up, but is surrounded and captured after his pal has died fighting the forces of the la e an is sentenced to a long term in prison. It is within the grim gray walls that his heart changes and he begins the long, long struggle for regeneration. The manner of his ac- complishing this reform is told in the plot of “The Great Redeemer” with a new and startling touch. For a latter-day miracle is wrought that af- fects not only the life of Dan Mal- loy, but those of others in the prisun‘ ¢ and outside of it. It is this phase of the gtory that contains the biggest punch of all. H. H. Van Loan, who wrote “The Great Redeemer,” as well as a number of other big photeodramatic successes in- cluding “The Virgin of Stamboul” and “Vive la France,” got the idea for this situation from an incidgnt; that took place in a western jail. His criginal story was made into a scen- ario by Jules Furthman and Jack Gil- bert, and the production was directed by Clarence Brown under the per- sonal supervision of Maurice Tour- neur. A notable cast appears in the pic- ture. It includes Tlouse Peters as Dan, Mailoy; Marjorie Daw as the pirl: Joseph Singleton and Jack Mac- Donald. Chariles J.

TREMENDOUS APPEAL IN “THE RIDER OF THE KING LOG’ “The Rider of the King Log,” tht Associated Exhibitors presentation of Holman Day's production ¢: his own novel, coming Sunday and Monday &. the Grand theater is a drama of adventure and romance so interwov- en with the natural Neauties of Maine and the great outdoors, that the very rivers seem to be playing the pary of great silent friends. The story is woven about the pic- turesque, figure of old Kavanagh “rider of the king log.” Next to hit ter is his loye for the timberlands. But death claims him in the mids: of his dpurageous stand. However. the spirit of the Kavanagh lives on in his daughter, Clare, who is giver considerable aid by Dan Cupid.

Splendid acting is done by Franl Sheridan, who, as Kavanagh, stepc out of, the pages of the book. Rich- ard Travers is a manly hero and Irenc Boyle sincere and charming as Clare The remainder of the cast is equally satisfactory. Holman Day is indeed to be con- gratulated on being able to give en- tertainment through the mediums ot the printed, page and the mction picture. “The Rider of the King Log,” is a real picture for real pcople.

TOLSTOY IRKED BY IDLENESS Letter Written by Russian Philos- opher Condemns Life Led by Indolent Men of Means.

The ietter reads W part: “I am living in the country, involun- tarily according to a new method. I go to bed early, get up early, write very little but work a great deal, eith- er making boots or mowing hay. I see with joy (or possibly it only seems to me like joy) that there is some- thing up in my family. They do not condemn me; as a matter of fact, they seem ashamed of themselves. “What miserable creatures we are and how we have all gone astray. There are a great many of us here, my own children and the children of Kusminsky, and nobody does a thing but gulp down food. They are all big and strong, yet they do nothing. Peo- ple in the village are at work. My children eat and make their clothes and their rooms dirty and that is all. Everything Is done for them by some- body else, yet they do nothing for anybody. And worst of all, they seem to feel that it is as it should be. But I have had my own part in building up such a system, and I can never for- get it. T feel that for them I am a trouble-fete. But it is clear that they are beginning to see that this cannot go on this way forever.” Hard Question to Answer.
