SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1923. VTOPIA DISCOVERED GAY PRODUCERS OF “TO THE LAST MIAN” Utopia has been discovered. That's the opinion at least of the motion pic- ture designers, In the rugged hills of Arizona more than 200 persons have been discovered who wear per- fod costumes as every day clothes, Armed with a lot of costumes to dress local residents as pioneers of 1880, Paramount's property and cos- tume men were amazed to discover that the settlers looked even more actor like than the real actors. From high-heeled riding boots to sombre- ros, each man looked as if he might have stepped off a Broadway stage where some p’ay of frontier days was being produced. These men were used to give at- mosphere to the Paramount picture “To the Last Man,” a Zane Grey production which was filmed on the original location in the Tonto Basin, Arizona and which comes to the Rialto theater today. Victor Fiem- ing directed, and the feature players are Richard D!x and Lols Wilson. Included among others are Noah Beery, Robert Edeson and Frank Campeau. VAUDEVILLE LAST TIME TONIGHT AT COLUMBIA Columbia patrons stron will have thetr last chance today to see the five acts of Orpheum vaudeville which have been playing at that theater for the past week, The offering of the playhouse tomorrow | will be Billie Follies of 1923 in “Oh Mab! ‘The performances today will be as peppy and clever as could be asked for. In giving a whole week to one vaudeville bill the manase- ment of the Columbia has done something unusual for Casper and has proved that there are plenty of theater-gcers here who are willing to attend real amusement. Berger and Seaman, Eneeland and Powers, Fred and Al Smith Frances Dougherty, avd Bit'ly Knight's roosters have in thelr dif. ferent acts some clever, difficult, and amusing stuff that is hard to rival. Tomorrow afternoon the Columbia will have what is said*to be the best musical comedy company that has ever played at that theater when the Follfes of 1923 make their how to the Casper public. Their first show will be in the way of a review of recent Broadway suc teases. JOHN GILBERT HEADS BIG CAST IN “ST, ELM Rivaling those of the most tmpor- tant productions of the season, the east selected by William Fox for his screen yersion of “St. E'mo, gusta J, Evan's famous novel, which opens at the Amorica theater today, is one of the strongest and best bal- anced that could be obtained. ‘The title role of the famous story ts portrayed by John Gilbert, whose excellent work in ‘Monte Christo” and in “Shame,” has won for him the praise of motion picture critics the country over. Barbara La Marr plays the part of “Agnes Hunt,” the faithless sweet- heart of St. H'mo. Miss La Marr es- tablished an unequivocal popularity with her masterful performance in such productions as “'Trifling Wom- en,” “The Hero,” “Prisoner of Zen- da," and “Rich Me: Wives.” Bessie Love, th of a vast array of photoplays, has been cast in the feminine lead and promises one of the best aharacter delineations of -|of the human past, {s stripped bare | acute housing sh her varied career, as “Edna Earle."

NO ULL MOMENTS IN “REPORTED MISSING” “Reported Missing,” playing at) the Iris theater for the last times to-, day, is a moving picture that really | moves, If over the phrase “not dull moment," was rightly applied it has been to this picture in which Owen Moore ts the leader of a com- pany of performers who have com- pletely mastered the art of entertain- ment. { ‘The story concerns the efforts of an Oriental shipping king to gain control of a fleet of ships upon which Owen Moore, a8 Richard Boyd | has an option.
