E NEWS OF: THE THEATRES P bbbk - kb cknd b e bbb el kbbbt RALPH CONNAR'S “SKY PILOT” AT REX SUNDAY AND MONDAY Ralph Connor’s famous book, “The Sky Pilot,” the picturization of which was perrormed by the Cathrine Curtis Producions, is even more delightful in dts screen. version than in novel form. Ditected by King Vidor, and including such favorites as Dawid Sutler, Colleen Moore, John Bowers, "Harry Todd and Kathleen Kirkman. in its cast, the enthusiastic reports Yrom BEastern critics have created considerable local interest in the en- gagement of this feature for two days, beginning Sunday. “The Sky Pilot’ "tells the story of @ young'minister called by his faith, but not by his ultimate congregation, into the wilds of Canada to spread the Gospel. Hard and discouraging is the task ahead if the Pilot. For a church, he is forced to convent the wsaloon into a gathering place., His have never lived in a New York boarding house will find much to amuse them in the scenes depicting neur’s newest photoplay, *“The Foo- such an institution in Maurice Tour- lish Matrouns,” which will be exhibit- ed at the Grand theatre tomorrow, also Monday mainee and evening. But those who have really lived amid ‘the stewed prunes and hash: the red table cloths and the old mad gossivs will spmpathize with Doris ) bride in the sory, comefi to jus a place to live. After seeing lhb half-witted slavy, the waiter with a guttapercha face, the man withou & chin, the fat man and the old mald, one can hardly blame her for accepting the atten- tions of a man, other than her hus- band, who escorts her to out of the way cafes for an afternoon’s rest from such surroundings. ‘The boarding house is one of the sll(‘ll | lives of people who nave lived i suftered amid. the granite walls and the bright lights of that city of brok- en promises, where only the srong can survive, and ‘where normal courage counts for more than any other en- dowment ot mankind. The great underlying theme of the tale is mar- riage and, while it is not intended as a preachment, it is bound to carry its sage to the many young men and men who are facing the same prob- s as the players in the producion.

A cowboy’s idea of a sky pilot is far from flattering. Early in the pilot’s career his sermon on the Loaves and iFishes is brought to a rather im- { ppromptu end when one of the cow- boys is unable to refrain his open dis- 4 gust at what he terms the “impossi- | bility of the yarn.” This particular il cowboy is surprised to learn that the i “Sky Pilot” packs as much kick in il this right arm as he does in his Gospel. i Incidents of absorbing human in- if terest are artistically welded with ii big dramatic moments that picture i i il | i il the fury of a cattle stampede with hundreds of animals dashing madly towards the camera, while John Bowers, as the sky pilot, prompted by something higher than what the cowboys call ‘‘nerve” stand in the ' track of the approaching steers and | risks his life to save that of the little i ranch girl who has fallen from her i horse. e | % Nor is the wholesome humor of the i plainsmen forgotten in this produc- 4 jon.

Every & woman in the audience will simply dote on this fine actor and Ruth Clif- ford in this absorbing drama. PAULINE STARKE AT REX AS SALVATION ARMY LASS i Pauline Starke, a gifted portrayer | of strong emotional parts, has lhew loading femine role in *‘Salvation | Nell,” the First National Attraction which comes to the Rex thcatre on| Tuesday. In the screen version of his famous Edward Sheldon play Miss Starke is to be seen as the courag-! eous little Salvation Army lass who | 1lifts the man of her heart out of the | slums of New York and makes him go straight. It is a story of romance | and pathos, with some great dra situations, and the screen is have made of it a most extraordinary \ plece of entertainment. | Appearing opposite Pauline Starke is Josephine King in the male lead | as the drunken, shiftless creature of the East Side whom little slip of a girl transforms into an upright man. | Others in the cast are (Apsy O'Brien, | B.

The story contains a strong | counter-plot of political intrigue, and i the boy after being adopted by Mr. . Hamilton, the young, clean-govern- ment candidate, puts over the big climax tha saves the day for the law and order faction and makes him the hero of the hour. | The cast is one of the largest that has ever been assembled for a screen production and includes not only al number of famous juveniles, but sev-| eral prominent leading players.
