Easter cantata. Rer. H.'L. Foes
is directing the choir which is
Cimarron'. Opening at
Elsinore i
Migbty Drama off Load Rawk'
la Oklahoma, History off
Southwest TJ. 8.
What is spoken of as '
"mighty drama" Is the picture
Cimarron' with Richard Dixia
the star rote and which starts a
three-day run at the Elsinore to
day.
The story was written br Edna
Ferber and has to do with the
Oklahoma land rush In 183$.
The land In that territory was
opened by the government and
clilm was established by the
first one on the ground remain
ing there as a settler. All those
seeking land were lined up on
that twenty-second day of April.
1SS9 and at the crack of a pis
tol they rushed c forward! on loot,
hosseback, in covered j wagons,
buggies any way to get there.
The result of that "rush" has
been dramatically pictured in
words by Edna Ferber i as those
know who have read the book,
and it is said that the photo
graphy in the picture by the same
name has lost nothing of the
force of her words. ;
Wesley Ruggles, a youthful di
rector with several successes to
his credit, did astounding work
in directing .this picture which
depicts large scenes Involving
many' people and terrific action
on the part of animals as well
as people. -
A number of well known folk
of the screen will hardly be re
cognized in - the roles In which

these are William Collier, Jr.,

The Hollywood will present as
its feature today one of the most
powerful pictures erer to be of
fered on the screen, "All , Quiet
on this Western Front." It first
won notoriety as a story, the au
thor of which is Erich Maria

picture made from the adapt
ation of this book it is said,
"it Is not the story of one wsrj
but of all wars. Not i the story of
one army, but of all! armies. Not
the story of the youth ef one nation,-but
the youth of all nations."-.

There is no describing this
picture for it is made up of com
plex emotions, acting that is line
and delicate ' even in the - most
brutal moments, and the subject
of which is so big that one must
see it to know what itfls like.
The Hol"wood i will follow
this powerfully dramatic picture
with a light, pretty, amusing love
and romance picture, i'Xove '.i
tbe Rough," with Bessie Love
and Robert i Montgomery in the
leads. The play Is full of laughs
as well as romance. -
A real western will be the Fri
day and Saturday bill l with Bob
Steele In "Headin' North." Rid
ing, fighting and romance are
the elements which make this
thrilling episode in the life of a
lad who takes the blame for the
crime of another and 1 then sets

quite worth waiting for,
Tho scenes presented have

world not often frequented by
the .average traveler. ; Terris
travels alone save for his moving
picture camera. He will make
such a pilgrimage as this for in

of Cairo. Egypt, on a holiday and
grind away at his camera catch

tures of the people of Cairo la
celebration; then he will take in
dividually interesting characters,
the tobacco seller for ' instance,
the snake charmer; and then a
trip into the tomb of an ancient
mummy all the way his camera
grinds and i the sidelights which
he records Is so real as to maks
one feel that one has been pres
