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

extraordinary ability and appeal. .
A highly intelligent police dog, Pet

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,

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"

the most intriguing scenes of the

Maurice Tourneur's fascinating First
National picture which lias been
booked by the Rex.
The stage setting hss been con

Hades, and everything has been done
to dwarf the size of the spider and

the most interesting settings ever
brought to the screen.

It is safe to say that every man
ami woman, too has earnestly wish
ed at some time or other that he
or she could hide away on a desert
island or some similar place for a
year or two and forget the rest of
the world. 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.
