Western pictures have an estab
lished place In tho hearts of movie
fans, young and old. Tho sage crit
ic of the drama, too, has come to con
cede tho superior possibilities of the
rcreeii for Immense scenic offeelB so
vital to a true story of the crude lifo
of mountain and desert. With each
Tilangle "western" comes a new
standard of production and In "Ashes
or Hope," tho newest drama featur
ing Hello Dennett, a high mark of
excellence Is set.
To the boy or man who loves a
good scrap, or tho mother whose
moist jyes respond to tho dance-hall
giiL'fi lustibctlvo dusiro to bring a
child to tho man she loves; "Ashes
of Iliipe" is a play satisfying in every
tense of; tho word. Information Is
lacking on tho extent of painful
brulces and cracked heads exper
ienced by tho participants in the big
dance-hall fight, but one has only to
see tho battle to feel the punishment
Inflicted. Stiong men strugglo for
their lives, and tho honor of c woman
Is also at stake. There is nothing
p.entlc about a plainsman or the gold
digger of M9 when ho enlists in such
a cause.
Llfo has Its pathos mid heart-aches
as well au Its victories over for care
free Gondu, whose faith In lovo and
hope of children aro shattered by tho
limit slio saved, Her story is a cross-
svctlnu of real life tragic in the
lUihes which are loft to her after she
risen to tho noble heights of self
sacrifice. . Tho piny will be shown at the Star
theatre on Thutsday and Friday.
