SHERRY THK PltlDK OF XKV YORK Are you a rich man? Are you a poor man? What ever Is your sta tion' in life you will enjoy seelnj! George Walsh In his latest William Fox picture "The Pride of New York," which will be shown at the Sherry Theatre Thursday und Fri day. If you are a rich mntl and have a son you may profit by seeing thli photodrnma. It may bring you n realization that perhaps you have not looked after that son and gold ed him as you should have. Per haps he lacks industry. Perhaps hi:; aim In life Is merely to spend your money. If you arc n poor man and have a son who Is Industrious, who Is work ing hard to better himself, you will like this picture because it shows that he has a chance especially In Uncle Sam's army, which In a meas ure Is a leveler of human beings. George AVnlsh shows what an energetic American youth can do In the ranks of the new army, and he shows also how hard un Industrious young fellow can work and enjoy It. George does some hoir-ralslng stuntr. that will thrill even an Ironworker who does dangerous stunts himself. The picture was directed hy R. A. Walsh, George's brother who made Biirh big pictures ns "The Honor System," "The Conqueror," and "Betrayed." His battle scene in "The Pride of New York" are certainly thrillers. When Yon lime a fold.
