REX Monday and Tuesday, "The Top of the World;" Wednesday and Thursday, "On Thin Ice;" Friday and Satur day, "Let 'er Buck." Vaudeville HEILIG Wednesday, West ern circuit, featuring Florence York and company of fire mu sicians. nPIIOUGII this week has been lack ing in stage events, nothing could be done to better the motion picture attractions in Eugene. The coming week, according to the sched ule of pictures announced today, will also bring a strong series of produc- "Tbe Dixie Handicap," a cleverly filmed race picture, was among the best of the attractions of the week at the Heilig. It will run again to night, for the last times. Perhaps the Best offering of the Rex during the week was the picture which fea tured Glenn Hunter, "The Silent Watcher." It was a picture that was exceptionally well acted, and carried a pathoB that held one of the strong est appeals imaginable. "Born Rich" was another good Rex offering, and "The Tornado" as well. The latter will run again tonight. The Heillg's Western vaudeville bill Inst Wednesday was among the best shown here for some time. The coming week's bill also looks good. Bringing joy to the hearta of lov ers of musical comedies, was the an nouncement today by the Heillg man agement that the Greenwich Village Follies would be here April 28. The famous Gallagher and Shean, who kept New York laughing for months, are with the company, and have been gladdening the , lives of Californinns beforo coming to Eugene. There are 24 scenes in the production- this year, with songs, dances and every thing that goes to make a success ful muBical comedy. ACTION AND DRAMA GIVEN "Thi Top of the World" Finds Plenty of Both The title of the new Paramount pic ture, which will top an excellent bill nt the Hex Monday and Tuesday, has an alluring Bound, "The Top of the World" smacks of action and drama und love the three graccB that are fundamentally necessary to every suc cessful photoplay if it is to fulfill Its intHsion of entertainment. Knowing that It was adapted from I lie novel of the same name by Ethel M. Dell, we are practically safe in as suming that this screen play teems with vivid drama, virile action and tender romance for all of these ele ments were part and parcel of the lory, Soinothiiig different In the way of scenery may bo expected as most of the action takos place out on the mysterious and little known African veldt. With a combination of sucb box office favorites as Anna Q. Nilsson, James - Klrkwood, Raymond Hattou and Ubetdoo Lewis there Is no lack of acting talent; and the fact that Geo. Melford, produced of "Tho Sheik" and other outstanding successes, made it Is a guarnntce of Us worth from a directorial standpoint. For those who are not familiar with the story, It will suffice to say that it! deals with a complex love problem In-1 volvlng a girl and two cousins who re-1 sembto each other physically. The; bitter strugglo between these two men reaches a terrific climax and takes an unexpected turn when a raging flood sweeps down from the mountains with disastrous results. TWO HEADLINERS FEATURE Heillg Vaudeville Wednesday Is to be Varied A bill of wide variety, with two headlhiers, Is offered at the Heilig Wednesday by Western Vaudeville The Heilig nine-piece orchestra will also be an important part of the pro gram. Clure A. Luton, In an act with his brother, inutit be gircn first honors. Although armlons he performs many feats that would do credit to a man "'fully armed." He plays musical in struments, writes, handles carpenter's tools, and does remarkable things with hin rifle. The customs and costumes of by gone days have always had an ap peal, so Florence York and a tnlonted company of five girl munieions nre always hits In their "Ye Olden Iays Modernised." The costumes and scen ery are about all that revert back to the olden days, for their program is up 10 me minute. Princess Winona Is colled the In diun prima donna of vaudeville, and hos n ploaDingly melodious act. Charles Kenna recognized in the street fakir an excellent type for comedy portrayal, and ho has taken all of the idiosyncrasies of this char acter for his snappy act. Frnnk ntid Gertrude Butler have a clever act, In which a husband mis taken for a butler lends the gist of the guy comedy.. FILM IS MADE IN PENDLE'i ON Hoot Gibson's Story Produced During tho Round-Up It is eontfnded for "Tt 'Er Buck," wliirh com'! to tho Rri uct Friday mirl Sflturdny with Hoot Gibson .i lnr, Hint never beforo has a picture Iv-rn iimde in luch an olnbornto nt nuwplifre. It la not contended that other picture have not cost more to produce, but it la comemled that if the fltra. and the aettinaa u-rd In connection with the filmlnj of thin picture hnd been paid foT aa part of the eipenie the picture would have roct more than any other picture ever filmed. And all this because "Tt 'Er Buck" waa made In Pendleton, Oregon, while thnt city's famous annual round-up, which many Kujene people attended, wna in progresa. In consequence there waa nvnlinlilo for atmospheric pur pose a collection of the most skilled cowboys, the most vicious bucking horses, the danger-wisest steers and a liont of other elements all of chann pionsbip standing when it comes to sports of the cattle range. Many of tbe daily events on the three-da; program were filmed to )e incorporated into the action of the picture story, and there are times that the film shows the entire huge arena, with horses sending cowboys flying through the air, steers being roped or bull-dogged, tbe while thou sands looked on from the grandstands. Hoot Gihfion is a favorite among nie riders who assembled at Pendle-1 ton for in 1012 he won tbe all-around championship there.

But, finding that tbe contents of the bag are worthless, Miss Roberts Ib arrested. In tbe meanwhile, Tom Moore and William Russell, members of a gang of thieves, plan to retrieve the loot found by the gnl From then on the story rushes from one startling situi tion to another, with a fascinating love element distracting Miss Roberts and Mr. Moore. Theodore Van Eltx, Wilfred North, Gertrude Robinson, Jimmie Quinn and The Texas Kid complete the cast of "On Thin Ice," which was directed by Mai St. Clair. "GREED" IS GRIPPING PLAY Splendid Aotlno Is Feature of Coming rroouction Ono of the most significant pic tures of all motion picture progress is Greed, the film version of 1 rank Norris's novel, "McTcague," which comes to-tl)0 Heilig Thusday, Friday und Saturday. "Greed" gives a stark, naked view of life; it shows how two human beings disintegrate and go to the very, dregs, without omitting a de tail of the downward path. Tbe chnrncters of Norris's Imagi nation nre vividly present in the pic ture. McTcnguo, the hulking, slow minded animal-man, Is portrayed by Gibson Gowland, and no finer piece of work has been done on the screen this year. Trina, the wife whose lust for gold is the chief cause of their downfnll, is realistically played by Za Su Pitts. Miss Pitts hereby takes her place on the topmost rung of the acting Indder. Jean Hersholt Is perfect as Mnr cus Schouler, McTcague's friend who turns on him when he thinks he has been done out of n chnnce to get $5,000 by marring Trina. Schouler is the barroom sport of the old days when they wore "oh You Kid" but tons and drank under, "Smile, dam you, smile" signs. Then the Sieppe family "Mom mer," "Popper," the twins, and little "Owgooste" are ably represented. Chester Conklln and Sylvia Ashton appear as the parents. Perhnps there has never been on the screen anything quite so nmnz ing as the final scenes in Death Vul ley, where McTeagne and Marcus struggle in the overpowering heat. Von Stroheim took his plnyers right to the sjiot to get these scenes, and ns a result filmed a sequence that for sheer thrill has never been sur passed. NATURAL COLOR FILM MADE Attraction Billed for Bell at Spring field Sunday Another photoplay In natural col ors has been made at the Paramount studio in Hollywood. And on the screen It will be in the fnmiliar black and white! The picture Is "The City That Never Sleeps," the new James Crnze production, and in it Cruze tried an experiment which has proved ex tremely succrssmi. , Instesd of building his sets in the C2 win rtSasMiiyii'iii RIALTO THEATRE Junction City, Ore.

' A stout woman, visiting the studio, sat down and watched tho search with interest. The glasses, could not do found until the stout woman decided to look for thrills on another set. The spectacles were found on her chaiT but they were useless for all prac tical purposes. Others in the cast ere David Butler.

The puir of nearly-weds, the French girl and Her son who attached themselves to the bridegroom, the traveling sales man ginned up to the ears, the mild mannered minister and his wide-eyed wife, the wild adventures' that kept them awake through the night! Aud tbe old porter muttering, spluttering and puttering into the most hilarious intimacies. If you've got a laugh in you, itH come out when you see "Excuse Me.'V which comes to the Heilig soon. "Forty Winks" Coming. 'Forty Winks," a Paramount pic ture featuring Viola Dana, Theodore Roberts and Raymond Hatton, comes to the Rex theater soon. The picture, directed by Paul Irlbe and Frank Urson, is an adaptation of the stage hit, "Lord Chumloy," By David Belasco and Henry C. DcMlll. The story is myBtery-romance chockful of laughs. William Boyd, Anna May Wong, Cyril Chadwick and many others play in support Aotress Is Versatile Few if any film actresses have de veloped so fast as has Eleanor Board man, who was only a "discovery," or a "new screen face" not more than a couple of years ago. Now she is one of the most accomplished and ver satile of motion picture leading women. This thought about Miss Board man came to mind while watching "So This Is Marriage," the latest Hobart Henley poduction which comes to the Heilig theater soon. Beach Is Plotured. ' The famed beach at Tahiti Is the center of much of the action ns As Man Desires," In which First National is featuring Milton Sills and . Viola Dana and which has been booked for early showing at the Rex. Miss Dana plays a native dancing girl, favorite of the beach-combers and sailors of the Tahiti water-front.

Hank did two-reelers for years, but now is making bigger money for whnt he says is easier work and is getting what every actor craves "recogni tion." For the goal of the short reel player Is to graduate into "fea tures or long pictures.
