This offers a little dif: lerent angle on small town Ufe as it ® usually the case that just about Werybody owes the town druggist. The village “belle” is there and she rould do credit to any man’s home own.

That's a touch f realism. It has happened in the est regulated communities. ‘There is also the town realtor who be one hand in his own pocket and © other in the public's. He is a lareful “lender” and an expert “fore: Hoser.”” ‘The village boarding house, where st about everybody eats, has an fapertant place in the story. In yhort, “Double Dealing” is a story typical of a period in small town his- jory and the theme of the play is en- joted with a humorous twist that Mhould provide a lot of laughs to the motion picture public.

STAR OF PLAY * During the filming of Alice Brady's atest Paramount starring vehicle, *The Snow Bride,” which comes to the Rialto theater next Friday for » two days’ run, the star came nearer jo death than she ever has been dur- Ine her career as actress. On location somewhere in the vi- }nity of Alberta, Canada, Miss Brady pne day was separated from the rest )f the company and, in endeavoring jo find her way back, wandered far- ther than ever from the temporary village of La Paix, where most of he action of the production takes lace. At first Miss Brady was inclined to fegard her position more as a joke than a serious matter, but on finding that she was really lost and with no way of communicating with the vil- lage. which lay, she knew not in what direction, she became quite Marmed and shouted for help. Her voice chanced to reach the ears of @ vhusky” of a team of dogs, several of which appear in the picture. The bnimal let out a yelp, attracting the attention of Director Henry Kolker, who, on observing the dog's strange actions, released him, ‘The animal bounded away through the gateway of the village. Kolker ordered sev- tral: of his men to follow. They did po and after some minutes, they came hpon Miss Brady, struggling in the feep snow, Back in town, the star was soon brought around but was not allowed to continue work that day. When questioned, Miss Brady declared that It was a terrible experience and that just: before the rescue party arrived, she felt as though she was going to “pags out entirely.” ‘The weather that day was forty below and inac- tion on her part would have meant being frozen. —_—— “DON QUICKSHOT” STARS HOXIE IN WESTERN PLAY HOLDING MANY THRILLS “Don Quickshot of the Rio Grande,” the Universal photoplay starring Jack Hoxie, which will be shown at the Wyoming theater next Thursday and Friday, is a‘ typical western plsy of the cattle country down along thé Rio Grande The story involves the adventures of @ romantic cowboy who spends most of his nights reading Cervantes’ “Don Quixote” and much of his spare time dolng imaginative characteriza- Hons of the hero of the legend. When he is fired for his day dreaming, he immediately hits the trail south, No picture could have been better adapted to Hoxie’s unusual ability as & cowboy and his dramatic skill Hoxie is far more than a “stage” cowhoy who appears at ease In full towboy regalia. He is a veteran of the apen range country of the days when cowboy life was real, when the great cattle industry of the west was At its height. Although he haa been in pictures for three years he has never strayed from the western roles in which he began career and in which he its so well And “Don Quickshot of the Rio Brande” ‘s a visualization of the old West, The story was adapted from & magazine story by Stephen Chal: mers and directed by George E. Mar Fosll, At the Rialto. Starting Sunday for an indefinite run—Pole i her first Ameri- can made “Bella Donna.” Kinogram News and Hurd Cartoon.

TOSAVE BRUIN Watchman Mistakes Ani- mal for Burglar and Door Is Locked. Rather than needlessly endanger the life of Alice Calhoun in making the spectacular safe rescue scene in “The Midnight Alarm,” which will be exhibited at the America theater to- day, Monday and Tuesday, David Smith, Vitagraph director, ordered that practical tests be made on the vault in use, For this purpose a substitute vault door of similar dimensions was in- stalled. When the work was com- pleted {t was too late to go ahead with the test. ‘The experiment was post- poned until the next morning. With Director Smith holding a stop watch to determine the length of time to cut through the steel door to make the rescue, the technical staff started work with oxy-acetylene torches.

Money.” PENAL PROBLEM THEME OF “BOSTON BLACKIE” found the door closed and the combi- nation locked, but this did not figure in their work, so they paid no atten- tion to it, \ Soon after they started, they heard a thumping, rumbling noise within the cone ong fuel cabinet. All hed and s\ aghast. ‘Someone's locked in the vault," one cried out. Excitement followed. The workers, stimulated by the possfble peril of the Person imprisoned within, redoubled their efforts to cut through the com- bination and open the vault. The time was cut one-fourth of what had been estimated by experts. Mr. Smith reached into the hole burned into the door and threw the lock mechanism over. The doors were torn open. Then everyone with a ery of horror jumped back. Bess, the studio bear, walked out on all fours feebly and sniffed the fresh air with ominous relief. It seems, according to the night watch- man, that Bess had escaped from her cage in the studio and had wandered into the set. When the watchman came along during his last round he saw her dark form craw] into the vault. Mistaking the bear for a burglar, he tiptoed over and slammed the door shut and twirled the combi- nation. Then, when his shouts brought no reply, the night watchman thought he had imagined the whole thing and neglected to report the incident, fear- ing he would be guspected of having had forgptten the Volstead act. Miss Calhoun is the heroine in “The Midnight Alarm,” the Vitagraph special production, and the rescue of Miss Calhoun from a locked vault In a burning building forms one of the Mest dramatic ineldents in the pic- ture. Percy Marmont, Cullen Landis and Joseph Kilgour are other brilliant members of the cast. THE AT THE IRIS THEATER Recent revelations of prison condi- tions throughout the country, made public in the newspapers and in books written by men who haye investigated the facts, offer a timely subject for the motion picture screen. The mat ter is presented in particularly inter” esting narrative form in the Fi): pro duction, “Boston Blackie,” starring Wiiiam Russell, which will be shown at the Iris theater today only. The film was adapted from the story by Jack Boyle, “The Water Cross.” It deals with the punishment of pris- oners by a method as torfurous as any of the refinements used during the Spanish inquisition. The water cross advocates tied a man upright against a wall with arms outspread and then turned a high pressure hose against his midsection. This treat- ment tore the tissues under the pris- oner’s flesh and disabled him for weeks, if not permanently.. Just such inhuman handing of men has caused the searchlight of the press to be thrown on the cruelties still in prac tice in various prisons. Each com- munity has !ts own penal problem to solve. After an unusually exciting series of adventures, which include the pleas- ing performance of Eva Novak, Bos- ton Blackie effects a prison reform that argues a convincing brief for humanitarian methods in American prisons. + Quills for pens were once so popu- lar that immense flocks of geese were burg (now Petrograd), Russia, fur- nishing England with os high as 27,- 000,000 quills in a single year.

O-S Bldg. raised for the purpose, Saint Peters-| watch an¢ Jewelry repair| “Glad to Meetcha” Greeting » Of Pola Negn, Eamous Star » In “Bella Donna’’ at Rialto “Glad to Meetcha.” Pola Negri’s convinced that that's the national American expression. That's what they've all sald to the Polish actress enroute to Hollywood from Poland via New York. And so “Glad to Meetcha” has as- sumed g central place in Pola Negri's Umited English vocabulary of 100 words. It’s a general term that is serving her well until she learns. to differentiate and say instead morning,” “good night” and are you?” And so it was that when California boosters met her train in Pasadena and presented her with an overfiow- ing basket of Callfornia oranges, her first, she favored them with a gorge ous smile—and the only English words of greeting and thanks she knows, “Glad to Meetcha,” thereby scoring a victory for those who up- hold colloquial Americanisms! Miss Negri was met at the Califor. nia conclusion of her six thousand mile trip from Poland, accomplished in a little over two weeks, and was immediately whisked to Hollywood by Jesse L. Lasky, first vice-president of the Famous Players-Lasky corpora- tion, who arranged for her to leave Europe to make pictures in- Holl: wood, and George Fitzmaurice, who directed “Bella Donna,” by Robert Hichens, a Paramount adaptation of @ passionate desert love story which is her firat American-made picture. “Wella Donna” will be tne feature production on the bill at the Rialto theater starting today.
