The ceniral character is of mid- dle age and beyond and therefore not the stuff of which romantic lovers are made. Largely it suc- ceeds, in the opinion of this re-j. viewer, because the director has adhered to conservative methods, aimed straight at fundamental dramatic effects and untouched by the more imaginative inventions of a rapidly developing newer technique. Three good reasons are evident as tye cause for the effectiveness ‘he Country Doctor.” These are the story, of direct, elemental appeal, the direction, and the un- obtrusively powerful performance of the central character. Schild- kraut the elder performs splendid- ly as Amps Rinker, M.

Fields’ latest Para- mount picture, “So’s Your Old Man,” which is now at the Coli seum, isn't dedicated to the fath- ers of the world, it does give dad a hearty pat om the shoulder. As is usual in farce comedies the new film is surrounded by laughs and gags but—and this is unusual —*“So’s Your Old Man” has a real plot. The 1925 O. Henry Memor- ial ‘Prize Short Story, Julia Street's “Mr. Bisbee's Princess, serves as an axis around which all the action revolves. Director Gregory La «Cava has in- vested the character of Samuel Bisbee 'with more than its share of comedy. To this he has added a fair sized portion of pathos. Alice Joyce makes a charming Princess, and as the lady who fin- ally brmsa social success to Mr. Bisbee, she proves herself an apt comedienne. - Charles Rogers, last seen in “Fascinating Youth,” also proves the training received at Paramount Picture School, did him a world of good. IScreen juveniles might well learn their lessons from young Mr. Rogers. Taken as a whole, “So’s Your 0Old Man’ rates as the best comedy Fields has yet made. e | “ROSE OF GOLDEN WEST” | | AT PALACE TOMORROW | - The most romantic era in the history of this continent—the near- est approach to the golden medie- val days of gallantry—is to be found in the period when Spain ruled California. It is in this colorful span of years that “Rose of the Golden West,” the George Fitzmaurice First National production, is based and the gay and colorful atmos-| phere of the time has been faith- {ully keproduced in the spectacular, picture, which is coming to the Palace Thursday for three days. he days of European feudalism | were, reyvifed by the Spaniards in} that perfod before (Nllomh-—nu ly ‘almost the entire west—was lrnhn{ened 10 American rule. nobility equal to dukes and earls of the-land, Their king- ' gi." the enormous land grants given by 'the Spanish Crown to those who had distinguished ihemselves by some means in the conquest of the New World. “Rose of the Golden West"” deals in romantic and spectacular fash- fon with the colorful age when the noweflul Spanish dons beld Mary Astor ‘THE QUARTEREACK” IS AT COLISEUM THURSDAY | 2 football player, base- ball pitcher and all-round athlete to direct a motion picture with a football theme. What better choic2 than that? The director is Fred Newmeyer who has just completed work on Richard Dix’s latest Paramount| starring vehicle, “The Quarter- back,” which comes to tha Coii- seum Thursday for a two day run. Newmeyer obtained gridiron ex- perience in Denver while starring on the high school team. From amateur football he stepped into professional baseball, pitching un til his arm “went bad.” Fred played with Wichita and Denver in the Western League, with Chat- tanooga in the Southern and Waco in the Texas. That Newmeyer hasn't forgotten football was forcefully exhibited last year in Harold Lloyd’s “The Freshman.” As co-director of that picture, he inserted some of the most realistic football scenes ever filmed. Director Newmeyer is highly en- thusiastic about “The back.” After completing the film and conferring with Dix, HEsther} Ralston, and the authors,—William 0. McGeehan, sports editor of the Y. Herald Tribune, and Willian Slavem McNutt,—he xuul that the production afforded matic and comedy than any football story made, he'd ever :NEW ORGANIST IS HERE AT COLISEUM Dick McGinn, who arrived on the| Queen last Sunday, will make his | debut as organist at the Coliseum theatre tomorrow mnight when he will give a special concert. He has been presiding as the console since his arrival, getting acquaint- ed with his instrument and tomor- row night will put the organ to the test with his solo. Mr. McGinn is from Seattle where he has been playing at the Bagdad theatre. Previous to go- ing to Seattle he was organist at various times at the Rialto, Gra- nada and Liberty theatres in Spo- kane. Previous to that time he had been in many large theatres in Montana and Idaho. Mr. McGinn is a young man, full of pep, likes his work and firmly believes he can give the Coliseum patrons just what lhey want for concerts and also for the feature programs.
