The bill is crammed with clever acta and Bkits. 3 Touring the Ackerman and Harris circuit for their first tour of this ' puntry. Jack Wyatt and his Scotch avis and lassies are headlining this week. This troupe has been in this country only a few weeks but has al ready made a favorable impression. - Appearing in their native kilts, these entertainers play the bagpipes, tap tic drums, dance the Highland fling and sing their folk songs. ' 4 "A Kadio Komeo" is the title of tke skit presented by Ed and Nadia Murray. It is declared to be a new ' idea never before seen on the vaude ville stage. Miss Murray has the role of a flashy, snappy saleswoman, while her partner is an excellent foil. Their Offering is said to De an up-to-me-yjinute comedy. jf Richardson's posing dogs are ex- jjected to be a feature of the pro - gramme. Their work is declared ideal . ' tp every respect and the performance is unique throughout. . 4 Bozo Fox and Miller are a couple if Broadway idlers who offer chat ter, song, dance and acrobatic jump , big as their share of the entertain ' icnt. Both have been starred in . musical comedy and come to vaude ville with an entirely new line of titertninnient. Arthur Terry, inonologist, has an .. entirely new line of chatter on topics ' Of the day. He possesses personality 4s well as entertaining ability and hns Keen a hit on every bill. . The picture features will include Vathe Iteview, and an Aesop Fable. There is a shipwreck scene in Xnr- ma Talinadge's new picture, "The Onlv Woman," which is one of the most vivid and real bits of action j ever brought to the screen. : As a rule euch scenes are done, for the most part, in miniature, ne cessitating long. distance photography which dilutes the realism of the ef- '"fect. Here, however, is staged a real . shipwreck on a real ocenn. A beauti ful vncht is borne down upon by a tlireemaHted schooner on the storm tossed deep and Norma and Kngcne O'-Bnen, her leading man, as well as ' a crew of minor players, are seen battling for their very existence. t - Both ISorma and iMtgenc obviously, endured unusual hardships in t li o , filming of "The Only Woman," which I ! opens next Thursday at the Hex. As a fute, where there js danger to life orilimb, an expert is employed to substitute for a motion picture star. 'lit -this picture, however, both Norma ami huge ne go through it to the end, battling the mountainous waves which wash over them knocking them nfC their feet, and climbing desperately - to the rail of the tossing yacht. Their acting is truly remnrkable. Others in the cast include Matthew ' Beti, Kd wards Iavies, Winter Hall. Percy Williams, Stella di Lnnti, Mur dock Mncuarrie, Louis Ihimar and Neal Dodd. Long barreled revolvers belching flame and death into the darkness of a "rendezvous of reckless men: hard riding, rollicking cowboys; vengeance, heroism and love! t All of these go to make a thrill ing romance of "The Itidin Kid : From Powder Iliver." which is the i name of the Hoot Gibson attraction j which will he shown in the Cnstle j theater beginning next Friday. The I scene of the story is in Arizona and j the time in the days when the terri tory then was virtually nothing other' than a vast cattle ranch. Hoot is cast as a young man whose sole mission in life is to ac complish the death of the murderer ot his foster father, a nester, who was shot one night by cattlemen whone demands to vacate he had re fused to obey. Perilous adventure besets the young avenger as he rides the country over seeking to keep his tow, and the spirit of Henry Herbert Knibbs1 novel. The supporting cast includes Tully Marshall, Gladys Ilulette. Gertrude Astor and Walter Long, and a num ber of the famous I'niversal Itanch riders. Kilward Sedgwick directed, ami the filming was done in one of the most picturesque locations in California. 'Captain Blood' Is One of Coming Big j , Attractions Here i'f'aptain Wood, which is coming to the Heilig soon, is creating a fur ore wherever it k being shown. Here's what a New York writer has to say: 'Captain Wood' is big. It is thrilling,. It i spectacular. It is mutational. It is romantic. It is chan. And these seem to be about H of the elements nei-essary to make np one of the greatest films since The Wrth of a Nation.' If yon' want anything else in n movie enter, talnaient, seek it elsewhere. v' Tnder the deft touch of Mr. Ker rigan, the characterisation of t 'ap tain Wood is brought into the close sympathy of the audience, Peter BInKl and his hHIhungry crew merge in a blaze of glory that lights up pages of history. "itpponite Mr. Kerrigan in the ftWrctly portrayed role of Arabella i .sit .'Ho The crowning achievement of Bar bara La Marr's career as a star of the silver sheet is her portrayal of "Sandra" in the film of the same name, picturized for First National from the novel by l'earl Doles Hell which is the feature starting Mon day, for three days at the Hex. Presented iu this picture for the first time as a star in hr own right, Miss La Marr reveals qualities of emotional acting heretofore unsu spected. The rVte of "Sandra," pre senting a woman of dual personality, 'His Hour Coming To Heilig iWz&X M w W htm "I lis Hour," the Metro-CJoldwyn pictunziuion of Khnor Glyn's story which opens Tuesday, (Thursday and Tridny at the Heilig theater, carries a stirring theme of two people utter ly unlike one another who meet and fall in love. As one finds in every thing Mrs. (tlyn writes, there is much love, color and a fire of realism throughout the picture. The cast is headed by two players acclaimed by the authoress as the greatest screen lovers of the day. The laurels and the two big parts go to Ailccn I'ringle us Tnmara Loraine, and Jack Gilbert, a brilliaut Hussinn prince. The story is of a haughty English widow, beautifully feminine and charming, who meets " Gritzko, a Agnes Ayres Has Hobby For Shoes K very body has a hobby.

TONIGHT! REGINALD DENNY "THE "FAST WORKER" One grand fun feast i 4V y is one of the biggest and most inter esting parts yet conceived for screen portrayal. Miss La Marr's depiction of Rusty is emphasized by the impetuous, queenly and dramatic manner in which she registers the role of "San dra," always seeking something new and never quite finding it. ' Her superb acting in this difficult portrayal is well matched by the work of Hert Lytcll, Leslie Austin, Leon (iordon, Flora Finch, Leila Hymns, Kdgar Nelson, Maude Hill and Au gustiu Sweeney in this production. voting prince, beloved bv all and noted for his deviltry and daring, . There are some gorgeous sets,. par ticularly the snow scenes which are supposed to take place in St, Peters burg and Moscow. ! A love scene during a ride in a sleigh is one of the most intensely in teresting things ever viewed on the screen. King Vidor directed the production, and shows his fine hand and under standing, while John Meseall is cred ited with the cameral work, which is exceptionally beautiful. Kmily Fizroy gives a splendid per formance as the Princess Ardacheff, the aunt of the prince and the god mother of the girl. And Carrie Clarke Warde, though cast in a smal ler part, brings home some extremely clever comedy touches. a hard task to find the wherewithal to buy good shoes," says the popular Paramount star. "So I decided to make up in quality what I lacked in quantity I bought the best I could j afford, even if I had to have them patched many times before. I could j buy new ones." !

G--- THE FIRST BIO FIRST NATION AL PICTURE OF 1925 19 The high quality of the Western Vaudeville is being consistently main tained by every troupe that comes to the Heilig. and the one coming next week is hailed as one of the outstand ing on the circuit. The Western players are all young actors drawn from the Orpheum and Keith cir cuits, and their vivacious and clever perfoi mnnces bespeak the intense in forest thev all take in their work. Western Vaudeville will henceforth plntv Wednesday instead of Thursday. This week one of the high lights of the program will be the Audrieff trio in "A TerpMchorenn Treat." These dancers have an international revue have been members of various prominent ballets, and have been fea turd in halls wherever variety is the form of entertainment. Their dances are of the fantastical anil classic, as well as populnr kind, and their pro gram is carefully assembled and beau tifully executed. Kd wards and Dean present a de lightful song story entitled "The Colden Wedding Night." This pretty vaudeville subject will be staged on romantic lines in extravaganza style. Much novelty will be created by a transparency effect. Songs and stories will reveal the interesting plot. f harhe Rogers in the role ot "Napolean, the Ice Man." is one of the funniest characters on the vaude ville stage today. Ho offers his comedy classic with the assistance of Irene Bell and Ted Fa mum. Claire and Atwood in a "A Bunch of Thrills" will entertain in a new and novel way. These clever artists have lon'g featured in better class vaudeville solely on the strength of the novelty act they do. Mahon and Cholet, the "Two Hoys From Texas' are as fresh as two bree-ies from the wind-swept plains of their native state. They are new types to the vaudeville stage, ana welcome types at that. They have carefully prepared a line of comedy chatter, dancing and yodel ing that they render in an entertaining man ner. Betty Compson to Come to Rex Soon In New Production Betty Compson and James Cruse are teamed up agaiu in the latter's latest production , for Paramount, "The Garden of Weeds," due soon at the Hex theater. The picture is an adaption of the Broadway stage success by that name by Leon Gordon and Ioris Marquette. Warner Baxter is Miss Compson's leading man in the picture. Here's another one of those "teams" so popular with theatergoers. Baxter appeared opposite Miss Cnmpson in "The Female," "The Knemy Sex" was the first Paramount-Compson star picture of the Famous-Forty to be directed by Cruze. "The Garden of Weeds" is said to far surpass it in entertainment qualities. Rockcliffe Fellowes, Charles Ogle and AI St. John are featured with Baxter in the supporting cat...

A j gang of outlaws is operating in the FRITZ LEIBER TO I TTl LI Iu the repertoire of Fritz Leiber, considered by many the peer of American clnssie actors and who will appear with his company under George Ford's direction at the Heilig theater, matinee and night. Saturday, January 10. "Hamlet" is perhaps the most stable, the most popular played. True, this is the playbill iu which the young star made his New York debut as a stnr six years ago and in which he- achieved a note worthy triumph, both at that time and since. But of years "Hamlet" has been rend, played and discussed all over the land. It is the play that best typi fies Shakespeare's genius to most people. For half a century or more, every actor of consequence who was qualified for the heavier drama al most invariably essayed this out standing masterpiece. Naturally playgoers grew very familiar with it and welcomed from time to time its revival. The young Leiber goes about the part of "Hamlet" in a calm, contem plative, natural and always essen tially human manner. There is none of the rant, bombast or strutting about (he stage In pompous style so often seen in the leading lights of other days. His own acting and that of his company is designed to be bu rn an and nntural and they go about this age-old classic as if they were interpreting the characters as they really moved and behaved and felt -Jife.; Too, the Leiber methods of The Wonder Dog 0 COMES MONDAY!

The story begins with this situa tion: Gabriel is wounded and be friended by a wolf-dog. who starts to attack 'him and from that point the dog takes an active part in the stirr ing development. The cast consists of Claire Adams, Walter McGrail. Pat Hartigan, Myr tle Owen, Charles Stevens and Fred Huntley. Chester Franklin is the director. staging is consistent with his style of performance in that it is simple and direct. Leiber's "Hamlet" is recog nized as a most interesting one and remarkably well suited to carry Shakespeare's meaning across the foottight to playgoers. For the local engagement, Mr. Leiber will be seen as D'Artagnan in "The Three Musketeers" for the matinee and "Hamlet" for the night performance.

Iff c t : -vA There probably . hns never been a play of the Civil War which more realistically sets forth the pathos of the lost cause of tli smith (linn did "The Warrens of Virginia," written by William C. Ie Mille. It is a theme tlmt never fails to strike a responsive note in the hearts of the AmericiMi people. As a stnge play it was a great success. Now. it lias been tuinle into a screen production which will be shown next Wednesday! and Thursday at the Castle. I'ulike most war dramas, it touches lightly on actual buttle scenes and dwells long on the romance of thai war idea. Brother against brother sweethearts torn apart bitterness i hatred pntrotism. All the big emo-' tions that were brought out in those' soul-trying days give opportunity for j fine acting ami for dramatic situa- j tions. I nder the skilful direction of! Klmer Clifton, none of these oppor-! (unities has been lost. ! Added to this, is an element of never-failing interest in the repre sentation of famous historical charac ters. The invincible, black-bra rded Grant and the aristocratic Itobert K. Lee, as well as General Griffin and General Warren move across the screen with utmost nuturalness. Gen eral Warren, in particular is human ized until he appears, not at all as the promt and stern commander of the history books, but as the head of an old Virginia family, torn between the love of his daughter and his duty to ins country.

TWarshall's "North of flrt," by Emerson Tlougb, depicting all the thrills and hardships of pioneer days on the Texas cattle -ranges, has been filmed for Para mount by Irvin Willnt, who made the natural-color picture, "Wanderer of the Wasteland" and other classics. "North of of!" is a tale of the Tex as cuttle trail, picturing a country wild, almost lawless, at the ppriod of the story, roughened and disheart ened by the recent Civil war. Lois Wilson, as Taisie Lockhart mnnnger of her own vast ranch in Texas, finds herself penniless, with r.( means of disposing of her herds, her chief asset being the true spirit of the pioneers. Word comes that way up "north of oil," a market beckons. With her 4..iiKl cows, 1(1 cow bands, 0 kinds of rifles ami six shooters and 115 cow ponies, Taisie makes the start with all the thrills that the start of the wagon train in Kmerson Hough's 'The Covered Wagon" evolved. Through this great panorama one sees groups of ragged sinewy men, the glorious girl it their head, the oxcarts and the sea of long horned cattle, accomplishing one of the greatest deeds of pioneer bravery and daring. Paramount hns furnished a notable, cast to visualize the story. It in cludes .lack Holt, Krnest Torrence, Lois Wilson and Noah Beery in fea tured roles.
