SUNDAY, MARCH 2, 1924 James Cruze has scored again. The Paramount picture, “To the Ladies," which was shown with marked success for the first time at the Rialto theater last night, is this director's fourth consecutive screen triumph. The others, “The Covered Wagon,” “Hollywood” and “Ruggles of Red Gap,” are gil current pro- ductions enjoying tremendous pupu- larity throughout the country. Fd- ward Horton, Theodore Roberts, Helen Jerome Eddy and Louise Dresser aro featured players in the principal roles, The story is one of the Kincaid Piano factory where John Kincaid has the position of manager to fill. A salesman’s banquet is held at Mrs. Kincaid’s suggestion, for her busband consults her on all impor- tant matters, at which a selection’ . to be made. Three clerks are didates for the position. Leonard Beebe, Tom Baker, the bo-s’s “yes Showing to Thirteen hundred and fifty hours devoted to donning his make-up be- fore the first performance is the record of Lon Chaney, star of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” which opens a limited engagement at the Wyoming theater soon. The pro- duction was twelve solid months in the making and each day it todk Chaney four and one half hours to submerge his personality in that of Quasimodo, the hunchback bell- ringer of Notre Dame. It was one of the most complicated pieces of make-up art ever attempted. The fact that Victor Hugo was artist (a fact not generally known) and that he had illustrated his own famous book, was of in- estimable assistance to both the star and the other. players, in visualizing the characters, ‘FLOWING GOLD’ “Flowing Gold” which ‘starts at the America theater Tuesday is an epic of the oil fields. Richard Wa’ ton Tully, who produced this pic- ture for Associated First National Pictures, Inc., has spared no effort to make it one of the really big sereen attractions, i “Flowing Gold" an adaption of Rex Beach's popular novel of that name, is laid in the northern Texas oil districts and isa rapidly moy- pe drama which leads up to a ‘smashing climax with some of the greatest storm and fire scenes ever screened. It concerns itself with the Briskows, a family. of impov- erflshed. Texas nesters, who strike oil on the cld farm in great quanti- ties. Calvin Gray, a penniless sol- dier of fortune, becomes interested in the family and guides them through the hectic period of their opuience, Milton Sills in this role is given one of the greatest parts of his career and is ideally suited to the role. The “Speejacks,” a little 98-foot motor yacht has aceomplished the impossible. The vessel completely cireumnavigated the globe after six- teen months of trials and hardships on the high seas, making one of the most amazing world-encircling vages on record. Under her own power she left the Hudson River in August, 1921, crulsing down the Atlantic coast to Fiorlda. Thence .across the Carib- bean to the Panama Canal and into tho wide expanse of the Pacific Ocean, It wax then that her ordeal began. Instead of sailing for Ha- wall as so many little ships do, she set her course to the South~- Seas making etops at ‘Tahiti Samoa and the Fiji Islands leaving for Austra- lis, by way of New Caledonia and so on into the Bast Indies and back into our western world by the In- dian Ocean. This is a voyage to delight the imagination of adventurers. A small well-appointed motorboat with 300 mile cruising radius; liberty to stop ut a thousand palm-clad — islands; brilfant days on the calm South Pacific storms in the East Indies; the ever present danger of typhoons ‘a the Indian Ocean; tramp steam- (rs wallowing in the trough of the waves; strange sights and strange sostaways in the ports; these and a thousand other things fell to the lot Twirling Toes of Twirldom.

Movie Lovers In a glowing description of the stupenduous photo drama Alan Dale, distinguished critic of the New York American, used fifty-seven laudatory adjectives to tell of the excellence of Chaney's work, ending up by. saying: ‘This bit of work is art of the purest ray serene, it cannot die, but will live forever.” Universal spared. no expense in producing the masterpiece, The en- tire cathedral of Notre Dame was rebuilt at Universal City as were eight squares of Parisian houses and castles of the period of Louis XL.

IS OIL EPIC Arna’Q. Nilsson, as ‘Alleghefiy, the awkward daughter of the family, is most capable and gives a charming and artistic performance. Alice Calhoun, as Barbara’ Parker; Crau- furd Kent, as Henry Nelson! Cissy Fitzgerald, as Margie Fulton; John: Roche, as Ma., and Bert Woodruff as Pa., are all exceedingly well cast and do excellent work. Charles Sellon, of “Bad Man” fame, as Tom Parker, is another very satisfactory member of this all-star aggregation, The story is replete in the dram- atic, in romance, delicious comedy and thrills, The fight between Sills and Roche In the Governor's suite of the hotel will rank“as one of the best screen battles, The tremendous fire and storm sequence wil bring gasps from the most hardened beholder. An entire oil flela is destroyed by fire, while the valley below is a raging flood of water and blazing oil.
