Who
fty c "in O
play after nil! This is proved In
"Tho Medicine Man," a five-part Tri
angle production written by Jack
Cunningham, In which Roy Stewart
and Ann Kronan are the brli;ht and
shining lights. The nature of their
doings Is neither novel nor particu
larly thrilling, but thoy are both such
natural and likable human beings
that everything connected with their
affairs Is of interest. Roy Stewart
who comes nearer to realizing the
big, 'openhearted, uneducated West
erner of fiction than any man acting,
for the screen, makos Jim Walton
seem so real that his character study
alone- Is accountable for 50 per cent
of tho picture's good points. Ann
Kronan as Edith Strang muBt be
credited with 25 per cent more, the
story easily supplying tho remaining
merit marks necessary to Its success.
Jim Walton, the sheriff of Kl Do
rado, discovers that Joe Malono has
found pay dirt in un abandoned
mine. The owner of tho mine Is a
sixteen-year-old girl, who arrives
In Kl Dorado as tho daughter of a
traveling medicine faker. Tho quack
doctor discovers her, when a little
child, lying beside tho dead bodies of
her father and mother out on the
desert. lie has been good to the
child, but, after arriving In Walton's
town, enters into an agreement with
Maione to cheat Edith out of her
property. This Is where Jim takes a
hand In her affairs and docs so well
,for :Jthepi both that- Edith gets her
mlno and Jim gots Edith. . Nothing

ore a feature of this lumber
business. When you givo us an
order you can confidently rely
on getting your lumber a little
beforo you need it. That means
no delay in construction, no
waiting time that you have to
pny for. Think that over.

A big, wholesome, intensely human story that instantly grips your
attention and holds your interest from introduction to finale. "Idle
Wives" brings truths to light with startling sincerity. It holds the
mirror to life and shows us as we really arc not a cynical concep
tion of it, but a truly great reflection of life in i(s infinite varieties,
its highways and byways not a slanderous tale told to hold the
morbid, hut ji alory unfolded by holding the X-ray on life itself for
thv betterment of all mankind.
