. PAGE FOUR. FILMING OF PHOTOPLAY “THE MARRIAGE. GIRGLE” GHUSE OF EXCITEMENT iiming of “T! Marriage ’ Ernst Lubitsch’s most re- cent production, which will play at the Rialto theater beginning thday was the occasion of much excitement at the Warner Brothers’ west coast studios. The reason was the fame of Mr Lubitsch as a masterly and ‘‘differ- ent” producer, working along lines that bids fair to revolutionize the art of motion pictures. Visitors in the studio, expectantlY around the Lubitsch set, awaited with breathless awe for the great man to start directing. Here would be a thrill! Even the prop boy and studio hands to whom the studio lights are a matter of course found themselves curious to see the greatest director at work. Here again was disillusionment. The Lubitsch cast behaved Ike reg- ular people. There was no raving and ranting about—no tearing of the hair or forceful shouting. But the effect was there just the same, ac quired in a quiet way that would photograph just as subtly. “The Marriage Circle” will be a surprise. Ernst Lubitsch has pro- duced the picture he has ‘always wanted to, and has given instead of the usual spectacular atmosphere, a real story, an excellent cast and ve everything elso, intelligent di- rection, The cast consists of such notable as Florence Vidor, Monte y Myers, Marie Prevost, njou and Creighton Hale. Ungering players Blue, Adolph OPLENDIO CAST FOUND IN AMERICA FEATURE “A wonderful comedy cast” is the phrase used in the billing of ‘Hold Your Breath,” the new Al Christie feature, starting at the America theater Sunday, and that's exactly at it is, There's a collection of comedians and character players that would make a musical comedy director green with envy. Dainty little Dorothy Devore has the leading feminine role. She has more pep than almost any other comedienne on the screen. While she has red in many Christie comedies and played feminine leads in features, this is her first comedy- drama. Judging by her work in this, there is no saying how far she may go in this field, for which she is particularly fitted by personality and talent. Walter Hiers of the portions and jovial si good-natured flancee. Tully Mar shall, Jimmie Harrison, Jimmie Adams, Priscilla Bonner and Lin- coln Plumer have other important parts. Comedy bits are contributed by Patricia Palmer, Rosa Gore, Jay Belasco, Beorge Pierce, Victor Rod man, Budd Fine, Eddie Baker and Douglas Carter. STRONG MAN EXECUTES FEATS, THE COLUMBIA The crowds that gathered at the Columbia merous pro: . plays the theater last night were compelled to marvel at the feat of ngth exhibited by the man wh« sty himself “the great Cyclops. Herculean muscles make possible the breaking of a chain across his chest, the bending of tron bars holding an anvil by his teeth and other things. The climax comes when he'lies on hundreds of upright nails, holds an anvil across his chest and permits two men to strike the anivil repeatedly.

Johnny Hines has the starring part. Even before he assumed this role, critics had dubbed him the “George M. Cohan of.the screen,” by reason of his vivacity and efferves- cent humor, He is said to give the film version what his prototype gave the stage one. Those who know his previous work cannot doubt his ability to give the role every bit of comedy and sparkle and punch it deserves. THREE FAVORITES. IN PICTURE AT WYOMING Three veteran screen favorites will be seen in support of Hoot Gibson in ‘40 Horse Hawkins,” Uni- versal-Gibson production, which is playing at the Wyoming theater to- morrow. Anne Cornwall, Helen Holmes and Richard Tucker, and all of them had speaking stage exper- fence. The significance of the last asser- tion {s realized when it becomes known ‘that in “40 Horse Hawkins" these three are cast in the part of speaking stage actors. The story was written for Gibson by Director Edward Sedgwick and Raymond Schrock. Gibson is cast as stage manager and all the other jobs in a village theater to which comes one of the old time road companies of the “East Lynne” days. There was‘an especially construct- ed stage with a crude contrivance of tie small town theater of twenty years ago, and on this the cast sim- ulated cold, cruelty and grief, while the camera ground on. Then the action is moved to New York, where there is another stage performance. Here the country stage manager has become a “supe’ and as such proves that the ‘hero always triumphs.” oe THERMOPOLIS: LAD 1S CAUGHT AND RETURNED Although not yet 12 years of age, Harold Aldrich succeeded in gather ing $40 this week and left Thermop- olis yesterday on his way to Den ver.

SMALL, (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune). NEW YORK, June 7.—Expert criminologists are non- piussed at the rapid spread of crime among what may be termed the children of the murder of the Franks boy in years has served merely as a climax to a long record of crimes by boys, and girls too, for that matter, which has heen piling up in every large city during the past five or six years. Scarcely a day goes by here in New York that some lad but recent: ly in long pants. is taken into the tolls of the law for so: daring or reckless defiance of the stated rules of society. Lingering in the hospital today, a bullet wound in his head, is a boy, a 17-year-old “hold-up man." The boy was caught red-handed in an effort to rob ‘a jewelry store in broad daylight. The arrest of a boy of this age is nothing out of the ordinary, but this case was in- teresting because Howard Wel says the last ten years of his 1 have been spent in crime. This means he left the straight and ow path at the age of 7. ilia Cooney, New York's no- torlous bobbed-hair bandit, now doing her bit up the river, said that she, too, had been sent out on the streets at even a younger age than that. Weiss told the police today that he had lived in Los An- geles, but he did rot remember, his parents because he was so young when he took to get a living out of the world in the only way which seemed natural to him. Rather boastfully, the boy told of having done “jobs” in. Portland, Ore.; Van- couver, B, Seattle, San Fran- cisco and various smaller cities. When shot down by a policeman as he was attempting to escape, it was found the boy's worldly wealth con- sisted of two revolvers and a pawn ticket for a watch. The police are at a loss to know just what has set the youth of the country afire, but that & is flaming there Is no.doubt. Some of New York's boldest crimes haye been committed by boys in their "teens or early twenties, Bank messengers have been shot down by them in coldest blood. Highway robbery ap- pears to have the greatest appeal to the criminals of supposedly tender years. The boy with the gun is giving more trouble to the police of New York today than almost any other criminal. A—B—C ELECTRIC WASHER FREE ! : at the CASPER ELECTRIC CO. 121 E.

Just where modern parents fail in the upbringing of their offspring, the doctors have not disclosed, but they piace at the hearthstone the wild flings that youth is having to- day. Too much Indulgence, too much lberty, too much spending money, too many automobiles and too little chaperonage, all these are the customary explanation of the wild lives that are boing led by what the doctors call children. The spirit of adventure burns strenger today than at any time in the history of the country. Youth is being seryed as never before. In the British flying corps during the World war, they would not take boys over 23 years of age. They wanted the recklessness and the abandon of youth; they wanted flyers wno would not count the cost. ‘These same youthful traits which served so well in battle are rampant today, -as the criminal records of every big city will show. POLIGE TACTICS RAISE TURMOIL (Continued from Page One.) proceedings. No one knew where they were. All that was known came out in newspaper stories, ap- parently inspired, which announced that the prisoners were at the point of confessing the Franks murder.

Even Miss Abhy Rocke- feller, the 21-year-old granddaughter of old John D. hfmself could not re- sist the call for the dazzling pace and twice was taken into custody for breaking the speed limit into exceedingly small fractions, Reckless driving almost invariably is traced to mere boys and only too often there has been gin or some other sort of liquor in the party.
