New Harry Filmed At Some of the most thrilling end un usual forest fire scenes ever shown in a motion picture form one of the high-lights of ."Roaring Bails," Harry Carey's new picture which .comes to the Castle Friday and Saturday of next week. A considerable part of "Roaring Rails" was filmed in the primitive re gion near. Klamath Falls, Oregon. One day, when the troupe was work ing on the shor-s of one of the beau tiful lakes in that vicinity, director Tom Form an noticed - a spiral of smoke rising from the fprest on the opposite side. The cameramen and all the men of the company were rushed across to discover a score of campers and a "The Silent Accuser" Coming A new screen star who actually leaps, into immediate popularity is introduced in the interesting Metro Goldwyn film which comes to the Heilig Thursday, Friday and Satur day. The new luminary mnkes his in itial bow in the title role of "The Silent Accuser," produced and dir ected by Chester M. Franklin and is presented by Louis B. Mayer. He is Peter the Great, a canine actor of extraordinary ability and appeal. . A highly intelligent police dog, Pet er the Great, is the only witness of the murder of the heroine's step father. Through the dog's almost human instinct, the hero escapes from prison after he has been accused falsely of the crime. Subsequently, O "Captain Blood" Coming boon "Captain Blood," Raphael Habat ini's greatest masterpiece of the sea, which is coming to the Heilig soon, is scoring big successes everywhere, and is fully as stirring and romantic and beautiful as even the author him self hoped it would, the reports reaching here state. J. Warren Kerringan, always a fav orite, does his greatest work in this great feature of the sea. As a rider of the fpsnish msin. the dashing hero amply portrays all the fire, nerve and dash of the good old pirate days. The film is full of thrilling sea scenes, many of them made more thrilling by battles and clashes of pir ate ships. The picture retains all of the atmosphere which the author has created in his story. The picture will hsve a four dsy run at tbe Heilig soon. Geo. N. llcl-eao.

Carey Feature Klamath Falls battalion of forest rangers madly fighting the creeping flames which had been started by some careless camper's fire. Every member of the company was pressed into service and for three hours Carey and the others who had intended to film a forest fire found themselves battling a far more realistic one than they had ever visioned in the story. "Roaring Rails" is a story of rail road life and the great outdoors and is the most spectacular production in which Carey has ever appeared. In his strong supporting cast are such screen favorites as Kdith Rob' erts. Wallace MacDonald, Frankic Darro, Charles Belcher, Frank Hag ney and Duke R. Lee. Tom Fornian directed. in a story filled with adventure, ro mance, intrigue and thrills, the dog and the heroine, who dresses as a boy, assist the hero in catching tbe real criminal. The story was writ ten by Jack Boyle and adapted to the screen by Mr. Franklin and Frank O'Connor, the assistant director. The title role of "The Silent Ac cuser" is played by Peter the Great, who is making his Bcreen debut and who thus leaps into immediate popu larity. A large cast is beaded by Eleanor Boardman, Raymond Mc Kee and Earl Metcalfe. Charles Dreycr is responsible for the beauti ful photography; Ccdric Gibbons de signed the sets; and Lloyd Nosier was film editor. Sophie Wachner made the costumes. One of the ffnest casts ever seen in pictures appears in .Tames Cnize's lntest production for Parnmount. "The Garden of Weeds," which will be the feature at the Rex theater next Friday for two days following "North of 30"; quite a coincident, as Cruxe directed the first Emerson Hough picture, "The Covered Wag on." Betty Compson, whose recent dra matic successes hsve won her new plsudits, is starred. The story af fords Miss Compson a marvelous op portunity for the display of her dra matic ability. Warner Baxter, who supported Afiss Compson in "The Female," comes back to Paramount for a fea tured role with her In "The Garden of Weeds." He is featured with Bockcliffe Fellowes, Charles Ogle and At 8t John, all sterling actors chosen for their ability to portray the characters depicted in the play. "The Garden of Weeds" was adapt ed for the screen from tfte stage play by Leon Gordon and Doris Mar quette. It'a an appealing love drama which brings audiences "back stage" at tbe theater. Bebe Daniels to Plan in New Role Bebe Dsnlels, as the star of the raramount picture, "Dangerous Mon ey," is due at the Castle thester iooh. "Dangerous Money" is Miss Dan iel's first Paramount star picture, adapted to the screen by Julie llerne and directed by Frank Tuttle. Tom Moore has tbe leading man's role and other big names in the strong supporting cast include Wil lism Powell. Dolores Cassinelli, Mary Foy and Kdward O'Connor, litre's fiebe'i best! Two girls with bnt a single thought how to find happiness. That Just about suras up the theme of "Chang ing Husbands," the Paramount pic ture featuring Leatrice Joy, wmen comes Monday and Tuesday at the Castle, in a nutshell. The story is an adaption of the Saturday Evening Post serial, "Roles," by Elizanem Alexander. 'Chamrinl Husbands" is first of all real comedy, and as such has got ten awav from the usual driea-up line of slspstick stuff and brought something that is really different to the screen. Victor Varconl, tne young Hungarian actor recently seen in "Triumph" and who was brought to this country by Cecil B. DcMillo, haB the principal male role. ' Hay' mond Griffith, also has a prominent nart. It Is said that we live to learn, ana after seeing "Changing Husbands you'll be winning to admit that Grif fith is a real comedian as well as an accomplished dramatic actor. Grif fith's art is peculiar to him alone. Just one facial expression and he has the crowds in an uproar. Varcoin is no slouch at the light end of the game either, and ZaSu Pitts is always funny, no matter what her role. Others in the strong supporting cast of the production include Julia Faye, Helen Dunbar ana William Boyd. Gloria Swanson and Allan Dwan have added another picture to their production belt in "Manhandled," due at the Castle theater on Wednesday and Thursday. The story by Arthur Stringer, which ran in the Saturday Evening Post, gives Miss Swanson n wide range of possibilities and those who have seen parts of the pic ture say that she has put another crowning performance on top of "Zaza," "The Humming Bird," and "A Society Scandal." "Manhandled" deals with the prob lems of life confronting a New York shop girl, and Miss Swanson runs the whole gamut of emotions, trying the white lights of Broadway, taking a whirl at being a sculptor's model. spending some time posing all for a "good" time. But she learns in the end that honest love is far better than the temporary luxuries showerr ed upon her by hosts of more or less ardent admirers. Mr. Dwan has surrounded Miss Swanson with an excellent cast fur this picture. Tom Moore plays ' a mechanic, and others in support are Lilyan Tashman, Frank Morgan, Inn Keith, Paul McAllister, Frank Ail worth, Carrie Scott, and Arthur llousman. Ann Pennington and Brooke Johns are also a part of the cast and furnish so mo very lively film entertainment; 1M "Wanderer of the Wasteland" Will Show Here Soon Methods used by the old traveling circus companies were adopted during the filming of Zanc Grey's "Wanderer of the Wasteland" for Paramount. M According to the author's agree ment, locations used for filming the picture wore selected in tho wild country described in the novo1. The motion picture company was organized after the model of the trav eling circus of the nineties. It moved from place to place in Arizona and the Mojave desert with the complete self dependence of a caravan. Cooks, tents, water supplies and equipment were transported by motorcars. "Wanderer of the Wasteland," pro duced by Irvin Willnt with Jack Holt, Kathlyn Williams, Noah Beery and Billie Dove in the featured roles, comes to the Castle shortly. "The White Moth" Is Booked by Rex For Local Showing The dance of the Spider snd the Moth, done by Barbara I,a Marr and Charles de Uoche, furnishes one of the most intriguing scenes of the French theater in "The White Moth," Maurice Tourneur's fascinating First National picture which lias been booked by the Rex. The stage setting hss been con structed to represent tho entrance to Hades, and everything has been done to dwarf the size of the spider and the moth. An enormous rose snd monster spider weh make It one of the most interesting settings ever brought to the screen.

Very few people ever are able to realize such in ambition, yet one man in tbe motion picture business has done so, with consider abb profit to himself. That man is Henry Otto, direteor in charge. of filming "Dante's Infer no," the production based on lit erature's finest allegory, which will come to the Hex theater soon. A few years ago Mr. Otto felt that he needed some time to himself, so he took a trip to tho South Sea Is Units. Although at the time he went he told his friends he might decide, to stay for the rest of his life, he returned to civilization in about two years. He had already won a big name for himself as a director of pic tures, hence his action was surpris ing to his friends, ns it is most un usual for a man who has gained the limelight of fame to renounce it sud denly and go into seclusion. Howevor, the time was not lost, for Mr. Otto did an immense amount of reading and planning, and while at the luluuds he gave much con sideration to the subject of filming "Dante's Inferno," as he says he has reulixed for years its extremely fine possibilities as a picture.
