10 OFFER VARIED
Variety, quality, and genuine enter-
Linment, these attributes in equal
;eanure with the performances of
ie nnst are again the promise of
K'estern Vaudeville for the Heilig
heater Wednesday.. This high class
ircuit is forging ahead everywhere.
md the coming bill is regarded as
me of the most popular but
'Pinched" has been chosen as the
ipw comedy play by Whitney Collins,
id the offering will be staged by
our talented and capable actors. It is
genuinely humorous story, with a
al plot and every quality that a
Irama demands.
A versatile duo, Johnny Bell and
Rosamond Caron open with a line of
ometly chatter, then sing and dance,
nd finally end up with a breath-,
Liking acrobatic feat that is regarded
s one of the best.
"An Oddfellow"- is Harry Antrim,
ho has justly earned his name by
is quaint and exceedingly funny rap
I fire line. He presents liieh-Dow-
'red comedy, and delivers it in an
.imitable manner.
A pony, instantly likeable, with a
iman brain is Prince Leo. His
ats of mental agility are almost
imberless, and he can count, add,
ibtract and even answer questions
om the audience. A special setting
carried for his act which enhances
the bpfluty of the offering.
EiRht Hundred Pounds of Har-
iony" is offered by four singers from
ie south. Harmony in all its dusky
cbneus is their specialty, while their
et is illuminated by their eccentric
memg and strange, droll facial con
tortions. An imitation of a calliope
ricoly rounds out the excellent act
Eaphael Babatini is now the great
est writer for the movies in the coun
try, for he has just been awarded
$10,000 for turning out the best mov
ing picture story in 1023. And it
was Raphael Sabatinl who wrote
"Captain Blood" which is coming to
the Heilig Tuesday, Thursday and
Friday, and the author declares that
this is the greatest and best of his
plays!
There is art action and merit in
"Captain Blood." It is different from
other films and contains a wealth of
those features 'that have made the
photoplay a chief factor in the
world's amusement attractions. After
witnessing a score of average film
productions it is as refreshing as an
oasis in the desert to see one of the
calibre of "Captain Blood."
From the first when Peter Blood
is arrested and sent a slave to be
sold at Barbadoes, to the final scene
when, as Governor of the island, he
wins the hand of Arabella Bishop,
there Is not a dull moment. The
slave market, the insurrection of the
slaves, the attack on Georgetown, the
capture of the A rubella by Blood and
his fellow rebels-convict the encoun
ter with the French fleet, duels be
tween Blood and a pirate chief, and
with a Spanish officer; the burning
of a ship and the sinking of the Ara
bella are a few of the spectacular
hlehliehts In tha nrnrtnpHnn TIiab
I follow each other in rapid succession.
I The love interest is well handled,
I the major thread being carried in
j command able manner by J. Warren
Kerrigan bb Peter Blood and Jean
Paige as Arabella Bishop. Kerrigan
: has a role different than any he had
previously essayed in his long and
varied career. Those who admire this
versatile actor will surely enjoy his
work in the production. Jean Paige
has lost none of her charm and ability
I during her brief absence from the
screen. If anything, she has returned
with more grtfee and charm.
The minor love interest is carried
by James Morrison and Charlotte
Merriam. Morrison has a difficult
rote which he handles amiably, and
Charlotte Merriam indicates that she
will soon be one of the shining lights
of filmdom.
Columns might be written com
menting upon the work of such screen
favorites as Wilfrid North, Templar
Saxe, Allan Forrest, Bertram Grass
by, Henry Hebert Otis Harlan, Otto
Matiesen, Jack Curtis, Joseph Rick
eon and a score of others. Each fits
into the role with kid glove exactness,
leaving nothing to be desired.
The intense dramatic action is re
lieved by patches of humor in se
quences with Otis Harlan, Wilfrid
North and Templar Saxe. These
touches are capably handled by skill
ed artists and enhance the entertain
ing value of the picture 'a hundredfold.

"He Who Gets Slapped," which is
coming to the Heilig theater soon, is
a screen version of a famous play by
Leonid Andreyev, a Russian play
wright. It was produced on the stage
in 122 by the New York Theater

but does not depend, on public pnt
ronogo. With Richard Bennett as
"He," and Mnrgalo Gillmore as Con

'Wanderer of Wasteland" Coming
Speaking of screen thrills!
There's one that ought to leave ft
lifelong impression on everyone who
sees it down at the Castle theater
next Wednesday and Thursday. It's
tho avalanche scene in the Zane Grey
Paramount picture, "Wanderer of the
Wasteland." Irvin Willat directed the
production, which waa adapted from
the novel of the same jiame by George
C. Hull and Victor Irvin.
It all cornea about when one of
the characters in the picture, who
lives with his wife alone in the desert,
gets it Into bis head that their daugh
ter Ruth, played by Billle Dove,
who is teaching school in a far distant
town, is not his daughter. In a fit
of anger in the middle of the night
he goes to the top of ft slope behind
their shack and starts throwing boul
ders down onto the shanty. The
larger rocks carry smaller ones with
them and start an avalanche that is
a bear for realism. You've never
seen anything quite like it before
on the screen. As the 'madman Btands
on the edge of tb,e cliff hurling over
the rocks, his foot slips and he
hurtles headlong down the precipice
and la burled with the cabin under
the mass.
Jack Holt, In the role of Adam
Larey, has witnessed the whole thing,
powerless to do anything. He leaves
the desert and looks up the unfortun
ate pair's daughter and tells her
everything and bat why go further,
It would only be to spoil an evening
of delightful entertainment for you.
If you've read Zane Grey'a novel,
you'll want to see the picture. But
whether you've read the book or not,
you'll go see tbe production any
way, when wo tell you that the pic
ture is done entirely In color. And
when we aay entirely, we mean Juat

The scenic backgrounds and atmos
phere for many of the big seta in
"Dante's Inferno," which comes to
the Hex theater soon, were Inspired
by the weird, highly Imaginative Ilia-
strstions of the poem made by Dor.
So celebrated are the drawings that
the most popular edition of "Inferno"
and other two allegories which com- i
pose Dante's "Divine Comedy" are
known as the Dore edition, and cop- ;
ies are much sought after. '
The picture is said to adhere very
closely to the text of the poem
where scenes in Inferno are shown.
The spectacular effects of fire and
smoke represent the comninen wors
of Director Ilinry Otto and his staff
as well as a largei corps of expert

Wallace Beery, the heroic King
Richard I of "Robin Hood" and
"Richard the Llon-Hearted," adds to
his reputation for versatility by his
portrayal of the role of the barge
captain In "Another Man's Wife,"
coming to the Castle soon. Since
he began his film career with Ks
sanay, back in the pioneer days of the
screen, he hss steadfastly climbed to
a plnnscle of fame and today is re
garded as one of the best character
actors and "heavies" on the silver
sheet
Beery, who is six feet tall and
weighs 200 pounds, assumes in "An
other Man's Wife" the part of a rol
licking liquor smuggler who has a
bombastic belief in his own gentility.
By turns, he is a careless roisterer
and a scheming plotter. In fact,
one might term him a guttersnipe
turned roue, for be enacts the char
acter of a "low brow" who thinks
of aught else but women and whisky.
Cinematic critics have declared
Beery's new venture in the field of
"heavy" roles is a triumphant suc
cess for the actor. Besides Kirkwood
and Miss Lee, other players who ap
pear with Beery nre Matt Moore,
Knte Trice, Donald MacDonald, Rus
sell Powell, Chctor Conklin and Zcna
Kecfa.

Colleen's assumption of a new type,
entirely foreign to anything she has
yet done, la said by critics to etsabllsh
her aa one of the mosf versatile stars
on stag or screen.

How many times hare we heard
this for "Merton." "The Enemy

on Is the star of the production I
which Is an adaption of the Broadway j
Rtnge success by Leon Gordon and :
Dons Marquette. Warner Baxter, I
Kockcliffe Fellowes, Charles Ogle I
and Al St. John head the strong I
supporting cast in featured roles.
Hie story Is one of Dorothy, a
very beautiful and refined young
show girl, played by Miss Compson.
She is fnncinated by the forceful per
sonality of Phillip Flagg (Fellowes)
who is backing the show in which
she appears. She pays a visit to his
palutial country home, "The Garden
of Weeds," where he delights in en
tertaining the beauties of the theater.
Hero she discovers the man for what
he is and leaves to marry Douglas
Crawford (Baxter), an independent
ly wealthy man of fine character.
Flagg leaves her in peace for a
while, then suddenly appears, cleverly
manages to get an invitation to din
ner and tortures her by veiled conver
sation and broad references to her
paBt which both think the husband
does not understand.
But the girl decides upon a bold
course and, before the astonished
Flagg can stop her, blurts out the
whole truth to Crawford. The men
fight and well, suffice it to say that
there's a real "smash" climax In
more than one sense of the word.
With the only menace to their hap
piness removed, Dorothy and hur hus
band are free to live In peace "ever
after."
With each new picture it seems
that Cruse has just about reached
the peak of bis fame, when along
comes another production to shatter
all previous records. To say that
"The Garden of Weeds" is one of his
best is saying something.
Xuical specialties and an elabor
ate prolog will mark the return of
Knbert V. Ilainsworth, who takes
command of the mighty Wurlitxer
starting Monday at the Rex.
A brilliant rendition of "William
Tell." Rotiflini's mo3t popular over
ture, has been prepared by Mr.
llmnsworth for the occasion of his
return, and which will be followed by
a novel arrangement of a late popu
lar number. An unusual musical ac
companiment has also been prepared
by the returning Rex organist, for
the presentation of the feature pic
ture, "The Garden of Weeds," with
Betty Compson.
The prolog, "A Rose in the Garden
of Weeds" will introduce Johanna
James, popular soprano soloist, sing
ing "When You Look in tbe Heart
of a Rone." A special stage setting
with lighting effects, will be a visual
feature of tha prolog, which will be
presented at 7:25 and 0:10 each eveti-in.
