THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1923. GATESAT RAIL ~ CROSSINGS ARE ~ ASKED BY CITY Crossings on Three More Streets Also Sought Of Northwestern. Crossings at Park, Walnut and Ash’ streets, and gates at all surface crossings was asked of the North- western railway by the city council in a special meeting held last night, while the question of the 640-acre tract belonging to the Community Qxtension corporation coming into the city was settled favorably. It was brought out by John B. Barnes, attorney for the Northwest- ern that the company would be will- ing to put a crossing at Ash street and to furnish gates at all crossings. The crossing at Ash would require About $40,000 since there are build- ings that must be removed. The Community Extension corpora- tion's land will come into the city after August 1. Water and sewage systems will be furnished its resi- dents by the city. BLIVER TWIST’ HAILED AS SCREEN MASTERPIECE; NOW SHOWING AT nS A great many of the patrons of the Iris theatre, yesterday went to enjoy a screened ser.es of antics performed by the screen's most gifted and ador. able boy and remained to marval at the genius of a real actor to whom comedy is but one of many forms of expression. Many went tmpelled by their love for the lad whose image they have watched so many times projected on the silver sheet. They remained to thrill in the presence of a tiny tragedian. Jackie Coogan was the boy, the play was Frank L'oyd’s aptation Charles Dickens’ ‘Oliver Twist” presented as a First National attraction. It cannot be sald that any novel of the length of “Oliver Twist” can be set forth either on stage or screen and remain ip perfect agreement with the original; but, while some will wish that this or that episode had been chosen from the book rather than what is filmed, {t must be con: ceded that Mr. Lloyd took with a logical hand those portions of the nove! that lent themselves best to the medium of the screen and were most readily welded together into a plot paralleling that told by Dickens —the story of how Monks first tried to destroy the soul of\Oliver and then plotted to destroy his Ife. = Lon Chaney’s performance of, the role of Fagin will ndd inure’s even to that much and honorably bedecked actor. Many will claim it to be his most vivid and imaginative creation. Gladys Brockwell signalizes her re- turn to the screen by a notable per- yee of the role of Nancy. With ‘most delicate gradations she shows the rehabiiitation of a soul until at last she mfkes the supreme sacrifice of her life for another. Bill Sikes was played by George Siegmann with powerful strokes; Lionel Belmore's Mr. Brownlow was a benign but masculine and lovable soul; and all the rest in the great cast deserve more than the mere meftion of their names and the roles they played. Each was a conscientious performance, coord’nated and con: trolled by the genius of Frank Lloyd who in “Oliver Twist” reveals more of subtlety than in any other work of his, but no less of power, and who thus verifies his right to stand in the position assicned him—in the very front rank C™ the world’s greatest di- rectors.

' | | Che Casper Daily Cribune HE PROPOSED MARRIAGE, GHE SLAPPED HIS. FACE; STORY TOLD IN FILM i There's a unique answer to a m: Z| riage proposal in Oscar Wilde's “A Woman of No Importance’ to be | presented in photoplay form at the| Rialto theatre today and tomorrow. | A personage no less than an English Lord makes ths proposal. The girl is one without wealth or family dis- tinction. Her answer is a slap across the face with a glove the lord has dropped. The incident is the end of & powerfully human story—which be- gins in a garden and ends with revelattons, Ike another story of greater importance to the entire human race. Thos* familiar with the history of theatricals in English-speaking coun- tries will recall that “A Woman o’ No Importance” was written b; Oscar Wilde while he was at the he'ght of his literary power in Eng- land. It was conceived and written in play form and produced originally in London where it scored an imme- diate success. Some years later it was introduced to American theatre- goers through a splendid production made by Rose Coghlan tn association with her manager, Charles Frohman. Miss Coghlan personally purchased the American rights to the play be cause she regarded it as one of the greatest pieces of theatrical property which had been produced up to that | time. In the American produci:on Miss Coghlan herself appeared as Rachel, the “woman of no impor- tance." Maurice Barrymore played | Lord Illingworth and among others in the cast were Effie Shannon, Mrs. D. P. Bowers, Louise Thorndyke- Bauccicault, Robert Fischer, and Thomas Whiffen. Miner's famous Fifth Avenue theatre was the scene of the American premiere of the play. Since those early ‘days “A Woman of No Importance” has been played in practically every city and town of consequence throughout the United States. The success it achieved everywhere is expected to insure the photoplay version of the play an un- usual reception. a ek eg ae Utah Copper Dividend Doubled.
