CHARLES RAY AT
BEST IN LIBERTY
MEDY PICTURE
Taking tho oluslvo dangers of
rtio harvest moon ns tho theme for
his la tost pictures Charles Hay has
ovolvoil a rollicking fiucicty ciouk
comedy drama in "Alias Julius
Caear," which will come to the
Liberty theatre, distributed by
First National Pictures for three
days commencing Monday.
Writera havo used, endless words
In outlining tho romantic powers
of nlslit timo under a moon flood
ed sky; but it has remained for tho
Btar delineator of rural roles to
revolve a plot of hiughablo portent
around this snmo property.
In tho case of "Alias Julius Cae
sar" Hay lias used the moon as a
luro by which a clever Boclety
crook fascinates his victims nnd
despoils them of their jewels. The
let ion is so delicately portrayed,
however, that tho comedy domin
ates each theft and creates Intense- i
y humorous diversion. j
Most of tho action centers around
H suburban country club; and fori
this purpose scenes wero shot at
one of Los Angeles' most exclusive
golfing associations. Tho elabor
ate dnnco hall and broad sweep
of landscapo from the veranda of
tho club furnish many impressive
scenes.
Karbara Bedford makes her first
appcaranco ns Hay's leading lady.
The remainder of tho capable est
for "Alias Julius Caesar" includes
William Scott, Robert Fernandez,
Fred Miller, Eddie Ciribbon, Tom
Wilson, Harvey Clark, (ius Thomas
Milton Ross, S. J. Binslmm, Phillip
Dunham and Uert Offord.

RUE ADORE
Hence Adoreo, playing tho femi
nine lead opposite John Gilbert in
tho Fox production, "A Man's
Mute," has tho distinction of being
featured in tho only film etory
ever written by Georges Clcmunc
euu, French war premier.
After that sho appeared in
"Monte Crlsto" nnd "Honor First,"
both of theso productions starring
John Gilbert. "A Man's Mate" is
tho third plcturo in which Hence
Adoreo has been enst opposite Gil
bert. Oddly enough, they nil had
French settings, for which this
actress Ih fitted because of her
origin and training,
Heneo was born in Lille, France.
The scenes of her childhood were
obliterated by German sheila. At
eighteen sho had gained recogni
tion on the stage. Sho repeated .
her success In London. Tho war re-!
called her to France. When Clem
enceau's novel was published after
tho armistice and William Fox ar
ranged to produce tho film vcr
ain, Miss Adoreo was tho natural
choice for the leading role.
The Liberty will show "A Man's
Ma to" for two days starling Friday.
IS GOOD VEHICLE
Charles Jones in "The Circus
Cowboy," his latest William Fox
production, which opened at the
Liberty theatre last night, is Jones
at hfs best. It Is a rip-roaring
action picture which gives this
popular star plenty of opportunity
to net as well.
Marian Nixon, who has been his
leading l.idy in several of his re
cent productions, furnishes the ro

THE
WESTERN
Tiono Pine, one of the few re
maining towns In California to re
sist the modernity that destroys
pie t uniqueness, was chosen as the
location for filming "The Hack
Trail," Universal picture starring
Jack lloxle, which will be screen
ed in tho Itllgh theatre commenc

huge cottonwood trees nt nn ele
vation where the sheer cliffs of
tho high Sierra begins, nnd Is close
to tho edges of both the Mojavc

writer of western romance, nnd was
adapted for tho screen by Isidore

Laurence Trimble, producer and

CHARU5 JOKES in Me ClWCUS COWBOY
Wiuliam Fox production
there Is enacted a drama of intri
gue, love and men that will hold
your interest throughout.
Tho story is that of a cowboy
who, accused falsely of shooting
a man, outwits and outrides a posse
and Joins a circus. Miss Nixon
plays a tightrope walker who even
tually captivates Jones, but be-
foro sho does it, she supplies the
motives for some extraordinary
action. One of the big thrills of
tho picture comes when an nnimal
trainer, spurned by the girl, loos
ens the guy rope of the ight wire
while she Is performing, bne iaiis,
but Instead of being dashed to
death, sho Is caught in the arms
of the big cowboy. What else could
they be but happy after that?
Others in the capt are Jack Mc
