"Beyond the Rainbow- is the attraction at the Liberty theater Friday and Saturday, where lov ers of the movie drama may have an opportunity to appraise the work of the extraordinary cast. Fox example, " there are iTarry Morey. Edmund Brccsc. George Fawcett, Macey Harlam and oth ers of importance among the male members of the cast. Among the women are such favorites as Rose Coghlan,' still the same great art ist as of old; Lillian (Billie) Dove, famous beauty of the Zieg feld Follies, whose artistry in Ca banne R-C productions has car ried her to popularity on the screen almost over night, ani. Helen Ware, an artist of the first waterr, whose great performance in Belasco's "The Wandering Jew," was one of the really big artistic . accomplishments in the theater last year. Then, too, there are two beauty contest winners in Virginia Lee and Clara Bow, one fair and the other dark, but both young art ists who promise much for the future. Diana Allen, a star in her own right., and Marguerite Courtot, .long prominent on the screen, also have outstanding rdle. Then there are .others, such as James Harrison, well known Juvenile; Walter Miller, Charles Craig and also Huntly Gordon, whose striking figure has graced more than one Cabanne success. Alan Grey is. among the happi est talkative tricksters appearing in vaudeville. He is not of the old school offering a routine of blase tricks in slight of hand, but rath er a comedian both original and decidedly funny. In fact his per formance has been called "Twelve minutes of hearty laughing and distinctively different fun." He is ably assisted by Dot Haynes. At the Bllgh today and tomorrow. Gloria Swanson, born in Chi cago, .spent her early years in New York, Key Wset and Porto Rico. She made her debut in an Essanay picture, then entered comedy. She scored in "Don't Change Your Husband," "For Better for Worse," "Male and Female," "Why Change Your We?" "Something to Think About," "The Great Moment," and "Her Husband's Trademark." "The Birth of a Nation" will be the attraction May 30 and 31 at the Grand theater, with a spe cial orchestra and at popular prices. . Rudolph Valentino was born In Castellaneta, Italy, and educated at the Military and Agricultural colleges in Italy. Coming to Am erica, played three years in vaude ville with Bonnie Glass and Joan Sawyer and two seasons in musi cal comedy. On the screen he has appeared opposite many noted stars, including Mae Murray, Dor othy Glsh, Clara Kimball Young, Dorothy Phillips, Nazlmova, Ag nes Ayres. Dorothy Dalton and Gloria Swanson. His splendid work In "The Four Horsemen of Today Tomorrow Tuesday Advance "Over The Hill? Starts Wednesday. J Runs 4 Days the Apocalypse." and "The Con quering Power" won him fame. His Paramount successes include "The Sheik" and "Moran of the Lady Letty." Sally Crute. who displays grief and sorrcy in the leading femi nine role of "Perjury," the super special whie will begin an en gagement at the Liberty theater next week, experienced red an guish at. her first appearance be fore the clicking camera. Miss Crute was playing in vaud eville at Chicago when an Essany director saw her and decided he would be an impressive actress on the screen. He invited her to ap pear in a picture he was making, and she gladly consented. Continuing then her Taudevilie work. Miss Crute came upon a theater where the picture she had worked in was being shown. The time of her turn In the vaudeville house enabled her to see the pic ture. She sat breathless, wait ing for the scenes In which sne had appeared. They came, but the was not there: Almost inclined to weep, she left the picture theater, and wrote asking the Essany director why he had not. told her she would not do. He replied that she very much would do. and that he wanted her for the feminine lead in a picture he wa to begin mak ing soon after the expiration of her vaudeville contract. He ex plained further that the filming of the scenes with Miss Crute was simply for the puiose of seeing how she registered. In speaking of the experience. Miss Crute said: "I wasted a let of perfectly Kood anguish which I could have used in "Perjury." "Over the Hill," tells a story as old as life itself and as new a the present moment. It is a story of mother-love divine of beautiful sacrifice suffered uncomplainingly and finally rewarded. Tears there are, of course, but tears that are immediately follow ed by wholesome laughter. It fairly bulges with fun the kind of fun such as the older ones have had in their youth and such as the youthful are now having. It is the humor that results from the inconsequental things In the every day life of a plain unpretentious family the kind of humor that centers about a family of six live ly children, a dog, a shiftless fa ther and a loving, forgiving mother. During the year nearly a mil lion New Yorkers flocked delight edly to see it, constituting in sev eral instances a traffic problem of no small proportions. The crowds that gathered twice daily in the theater lobby before it constituted, too, a veritable Van ity Fair, inasmuch as it drew to its doors people from every walk of life, the young, the old, the rich and the poor. The universal ity of its appeal makes "Over the Hill" at once the picture for every body. There is no type or class of theatergoer extant that "Over the Hill" cannot amuse and entertain. Sterling Rose Trio, an athletic trio of skillful acrobats, who offer a series of muscle demanding stunts all done with fine finish and commendable ease. One of the most novel acts in vaudeville The offering consists of two mus cular men and one woman, also feats of strength and grace exe cuted on the flying rings. T'hey are gorgeously attired in tights and colored jersles and the young lady of the trio in gay costumes plays musical instruments. Show ing at the Bligh today and tomor row. Ever since the birth of the mo tion picture industry producers have secretly cherished the hope that some day they might create a photoplay which would vie suc cessfully with the spoken dramas enjoying long runs in the major playhouses of America's large cities. To produce a film, however, ! that would run for one solid year ou uroaaway, ew York City. wnere standards are both born and destroyed, was considered a purely idealistic dream. It was the acme of absurdity . Broadway Would tire of the best picture In 90 days, was the gist of popular contention. Any one sueeestine the possibility of a new record run for a silver screen production was laughed down .by tne most liberal of the critics. Unwilling to run the risk of ex posing their views to public ridicule-, the men who hoped to ac complish the "impossible" re mained silent. Then came William Fox, one of the earliest pioneers ; of the Industry, with the an nouncement that he would pro duce a motion picture which, through Its purity and simplicity of theme, would smash every rec ord in the anals of the silent dra ma a picture that would run for 12 consecutive months on Broad waya picture that would go into the theaters throughout the en tire coountry for longer showings than ever were recorded before a picture that . would ' make the "Impossible an actuality. A chorus beauty had 'a friend. He liked her so well that when he died .he left her million or two. What woman woudn't take It? The heroine ot "The Goolden Gallows,! a Universal offering at the Blight theater today anoTTF morrow, starring Miss da Post, thought there was no harm in It and not able to impose any "strings." But it was a choice morsel for the gossips and the for tune became the "golden gallows" upon which the girl's good name was hanged. Wallace Reid. Paramount star, has had some thrilling and hard fought battles in his numerous Paramount and Art era ft pictures, but what is conceded to be one of the most sensational fights ever staged in a screen production, is shown with vivid realism in "The Valley of the Giants," which will be shown at the Bllgh theater on Friday and Saturday. "Two Minutes to Go." a First National attraction, in which Charles Ray is said to have one of the most interesting roles of hi3 career, will begin an engagement of three days at the Bligh treatcr on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. "Listen. Look and Laugh." the Salem made picture had such a successful run that the Bligh theater will show it again next Tuesday matinee and evening. The Liberty theater announces its opening for next Friday even ing, when it will be finished decorating and remodeling. The shows will be taken to the Grand theater for the week, and the Lib erty will be closed after today un til Friday evening.
