capitalist, and nearly succeeds. She
has already been the means of the
heroine's husband taking the down

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.
