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.

if Broadway idlers who offer chat

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.

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.

a stirring theme of two people utter

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

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

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

performance in that it is simple and

remarkably well suited to carry
Shakespeare's meaning across the

For the local engagement, Mr.

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. The picture opens a
run soon at the Hex theater. It's a
colorful page from the history of
the United States a second "Cover
ed Wagon."
$7. HO, and doesn't look half bad in it
either. However, in the progress of
Arthur Stringer's story, which Allan
Hwan directed. Miss Swanson is giv
en the oportunity of wearing some
stunning gowns and one of them cost
just one hundred times as much as
the littl taffeta dress.
An ail-star cast, headed by Tom
Moore, suports Miss Swanson iu
"Manhandled," which is by far the
best picture of her notable screen
career.
