It is one of the most absorbing photoplays that we have seen in some time and carrles a blg wallop in every reel. Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer made it. It's the story of a mountain moth- er who vows vengeancé on the de. scendants of the man who killed her people and who is made to see how unjust her resolution is by her son, World War veteran. Edmund Goulding, the noted scen- arlo writer, and playwright, acquits himself with high honors as the di- rector. Conrad Nagel, Lucille La Verne and Pauline Starke head the great cast, including George K. Ar- thur, Arthur Rankin, Sam De Grasse, Edward Connelly and Bain- ard Beckwith, Arthur Slatter was the scenarist. The Keith Albee vaudeville pro- gram has five very fine attractions to offer headed by Dolly Arthur and Co. in “Help Wanted, Female,” a musi- cal comedy with Don Carrol and a cast of American beauties. The Four Harmony Kings are a colored quar- tet who offer splendid harmony in songs; Claude DeCar and Co. offer a pantomimic acrobatic number that is well done; Dana and Mack offer “Tittle Red Riding Hood,” a comedy skit with song and dance; and Lang- ford and Fredericks present *“Shop- ping,” a comedy offered by a very talented couple, On Thursday Richard Dix will be oficred tn e Age of Innocence—Dyceum, The Age of Tnnocence,” taken from Mrs. Idith Wharton's pri winning Pulitzer novel of the same name, shares honors with Kenneth Harlan in “The Ranger of the lhgy at the Lyccum today and to- morro Beverly Bayne, in “Age of Innocence,” interprets the role of (‘ountess Olenska who leaves Ru id her brutal husband under com- | nromising conditions and tries to e heauty of freedom in Amer- L hera she meets and loves New- nd Archer, played by Elliott Dex- If'rom this situation arises the theme of love, intrigue, a hit of adal and society life that is ried out through the story. ines’ PROTOPLAYS COMING week local theater goers will juve an opportunity of seeing two of the new season’s finest photo- plays in the presentation of Gloria Swanson in the “Coast of Tolly.” snd Corinne Griftith in “The Mar- viaze Whirl" at the Capitol and Palace theaters.

Makeshifts that appear laughable to those who dwell in luxury, but which to the impover- ished represent the closest kinship to comfort possible, are resorted to by Maggie in her pitiful efforts to create an atmosphere of real asylum and peace for her younger sister and the ever unappreciative half-parent. A good bill of Keith vaudeville is on the program offering the Threc Vedettes in song, music and dances; George and Harry Warren a clever pair of songsters; Bigelow and Coo- gan in a novelty act; and Morris and Townes, a comedy couple in bright bits of wit.

That winds blow up and down as well as horizontally was forcibly brought home to many people for the first time by the destruction of the “Shenandoah”, Far from being unusual, such “vertical winds'" lie at the heart of some of our best known weather phenomena, according to a bulletin from the Washington, D, C., headquarters of the National Geo- graphic soclety, “Livery flash of lightning that you see, or that you hear as thunder, and every pellet of hail that falls is probably due to a ‘vertical wind',” says the bulletin. “These are the frults of rather violent upward and downward blasts, If you consider as well the gentler rising and falling currents—the ‘vertical breezes’, let —you must take pretty much the whole fleld of weather for your sphere. 20— ust Brimful of Health and Happiness Wide Awake Children Who Have Been Brought Up On FATH: Because her mother used it when she was a litle girl.
