Jin ‘or, And the ‘covered Wagon wood, “Ruggles auman’s Metr Which brings to mind a few re marks that might be made upon James Cruze, director. He is a young man who js turning out great pictures. He is ringing the bell time and again, not only with the box office but with the critics. Yet he is the most businesslike, the least verbose man you ever met. He never talks about art. He doesn't take himself seriously. Gen erally, his pictures can be cut in a few minutes, because he has shot so close to what he needed that there is really nothing to do but make a selection of the best “takes There 1s a tradition in Hollywood that he once shot a picture that only had to be trimmed 600 feet— this when most directors who make big features shoot hundreds of thou- : Chaplin admits to 400,000 feet of film shot to get 7,300 feet of picture for “The Woman of Paris." Jimmy Cruze has just one gospel. Entertainment. He believes that the prime object of a motion picture is entertainment. He has no com- plexes, no inhibitions, he is not try- ing to change the world, or the in- dustry, He's making good, human, honest stories that he hopes are going to give mama, and papa, and the kids a good evening of enjoyment, clean wholesome enjoyment, that will make them forget their cares and troubles. Maybe he’s right. “To the Lad Mr. Cruze’s latest work for Paramount, featur- ing Edward Horton, Theodore Rob- erts, Helen Jerome Eddy and Loutse Dresser, comes to the Rialto theater for a four days’ run today, It’s a superb comedy drama. HALL GAIN ALTERED PLOT FOR THE SCREEN It isn't often that an author—and one of the most noted in the world at that—will agree to allow his story to be altered for the screen, And especially when the changes desired set the story in an entirely different period, and persons, living in obscurity at the time of writing, are brought into the plot. But such was the case with “The Eternal City,” Sir Hall Caine's im- mortal story of love and adventure, which has been picturized for First National release by George Fitz maurice, and is being presented for the last times today at the America theater, with Barbara La Marr, Lio- nel Barrymore, Bert Lytell, Richard Bennett and Montagu Love In the leading roles. “ADOLUS HOUSE” 15 PICTURE AT COLUMBIA The Columbia theater which also has on its bill the musical comedy “Speed Up" iy offering an excep- tional photoplay in “A Doll's House” today and tomorrow. Wa- zimova who has succeeded so ad- mirably in the stage production has also been cast in the screen role and her interpretation has surpassed criticism. This is one of Ibsen's most widely discussed stories, and when first presented in England caused a fur- ore becanse of woman's right to her own individualism, and to lead first presented on the New York Nazimova it was hailed as y of the hour, both because of its literary value and the tremen- dous power of Nazimova’s inter- pretation of Nora. Briefly, the story has to do with the married life of Torvald Helmer and his wife, Nora. Torvald, the pillar of toclety who owns the doll, is mode! husband, father and citizen. Between these two exist the most loving terms and their devo- tion is centered about their house- hold, which consists of three chil dren. Nora ts happy in the belief she has attained a valid realization of all her dreams that she is an ideal wife and mother, and that Torvald is an ideal husband, who would, if the necessity arose, give his life to save her reputation. thing arises to disillusion her realizes that she has been doll living in a doll’s house, and she leaves her husband's home In order to find out the reality of life and its struggles for herself. She refuses even to see her children ain until she is fit to be in charge of them, or to live again with her husband until he becomes capable of a better understanding of her own right as an individual, “Speed Up" is a fast stepping hotel comedy in two aets which air some of the disagreements of the Murphy lly. The plot concerns an old story of love and romance but is worked out in a new and pleasing manner, “THE NIGHT HAWK” HAS HARRY GAREY IN LEAD The “Night Hawk” is playing at the Wyoming theater today and to- morrow and features Harry Carey. Carey in this production has the role of the Panther, a clever city crook who has occasion to be trans- planted to a ranch later. Here he is brought face to face with a real wo- man who ‘lg the exact opposite of any woman he has ever known. He suddenly realizes che futility of his own life and sees that the love of a virtuous woman {is the happiness he has sought so blindly all his years. He changes his career at once and finally wins the woman. LOTS OF FUN FOUND IN ACK PICKFORD PICTURE f Clean, fast humor—jollity—that describes “Just Out of Collage, Goldwyn picture, with Jack Pick- ford, which plays at the Iris theater for the last times today. ‘There’s not a shade of vulgarity in It, though it is punctuated with screamingly funny situations, A very definite plot, carefully con. structed forms the framework for situations that would make the glummest pessimist come out of his shell. Pickford has splendid sup- port, among the actors figuring in the picture being the famous “Lefty Flynn," the Yale athletic star of not so long ago. picture. ——_—__ Casper Monument Works 508 South Conwell Phone 2542 It's a corking Twirling Toes of Twirldom GRAND ANNUAL BALL Auspices Casper’s Musicians Elks’ Auditorium Monday, March 3 Dancing 9 to 1 p. m.

JONES HAD TO LEARN ART OF LOVE MAKING When Charles Jones, picturesque cowboy actor in Fox western pic- tures, first quit the range for the studio, no feat was too dangerous for him to risk, excepting one. He would not make love, The wildest horse couldn't frighten him, but a pretty girl sent him flying off the set to stand back out of sight some- where and watch the scene pro- gress. Accordingly, it had to be arranged when Jones was cast in leads, thet he would be cured of his fear of the fair sex. In his latest release, “Not a Drum Was Heard,” from the story by Ben Ames Williams, he makes love as casually as he ropes steers, breaks broncos or draws a lightning gun. “It's like anything else.” explains Jones, “you have to get used to It. After I learned that the soft stuff is as much a part of life as the other, I accepted it." He grinned sheep- ishly. “And it isn't so bad, either.” “Not a Drum Was Heard" comes to the America theater Sunday and Monday, with Betty Bouton in the role of the girl to whom Jones makes love.
