Tho plot has bepn cleverly eon delved and is carried out in most logical fashion. Jt is based upon tha niiHiin(lert andtngs on the part of Britisher regarding people and things American, and the Yankee's misconception of the Kogli&hnura's point of view when he visits London, It has proved just as amusing -to the son of John Bull aa to I'nrle Sam's nephews right here at home. The situations have a distinctly Cobanesnuo tinge. They nre repre sented aa exceedingly droll, Ihe dia logue humorous and witty, and throughout the three acta there Is said to be a vein of delicate aHtiro that tickles the rislbles in a delight ful way. The contrast afforded by the characterizations of Sir I'erey IVauchsmp, a member of the British peerage, and Hiram Draper, an American captain of industry, forma the basis for much of the laughter with which the play abounds.

MYSTERY PLAY IS GRIPPING "The Broken Silence" Will be Shown at Helllg Noxt Week A new James Oliver Curwood pic ture, "The Broken Silence," will be shown at the Hetlig theater Tuesday. This production, which was made by Tine Tree Pictures. Inc., and directed by Dell Henderson and which is, incidentally, the third picture of -the Curwood series to be released by Arrow gives promise of being the most elaborate nnd most pleasing to reach the screen thus far. The story, a fascinating tale of love and in trigue, moves from one dramatic episode to another, culminating in a tremendous climax that comes as forcefully ns a thunderbolt. Zona Keefe, the featured player, was the star of many big successes in the past. Including "lied Foam" and "The Woman Hod Sent." She rises, under the able direction of Pel) Hen derson, to new emotional heights, and again demonstrates conclusively that she la n"t only a beautiful girl but a splendidly gifted artist. Miss Keefe's supporting cast is more than adequate and Includes aome of the best-known screen players of tbe present day, among whom may be mentioned J. Barney Sherry, known for hW pleasing performances in ninny Marshall N'eilan productions, Robert Elliott, star of stage nnd screen; Gypsy O'Brien, Roy Gordon nnd many others of almost equal prominence. Texas cattle trail, picturing a conn try wild, almost lawless, at the period, of the story, roughened and dis heartened by the recent Civil war. Lois Wilson, as Taisia Lockhart, manager of her own vast ranch .in Texas, finds herself penniless, with no means of disposing of her herds, her chief asset beinjj the true spirit of the pioneers. "Word comes that way up "north of 3fl," a market beckons. With ber 4"00 cows, 16 cowa hands, 19 kinds of rifles nnd nix shooters end 115 cow ponies, Taisie makes tbe start with all the thrills that the start of the wagon train in Emerson Hough's "The Covered Wagon" evolved. Through this great panorama one sees groups of ragged sinewy men, the glorious girl at their bead, the oxcarts and the sea of long horned cattle, accomplishing one of the great est deeds of pioneer bravery and daring. Paramount has furnished a notable cast to visualise the story. It in cludes Jack Holt. F.rnest Torrence, Lois Wilson and Xoah Beery in fea tured roles. The picture opens a two-days' run next Monday at the Rex theater. It's a colorful page from the history -of the Unfcted States a second "Covered Wagon!" 'GALLOPING VENGEANCE' HERE Western Drama fs Thriller with Many Exciting Happenings A realistic dam explosion and re suitant flood, and a note of young romance lends a pio.ua nt flavor t( "Galloping Vengeance," the hard riding Western feature coming Sat urdoy at the Heilig theater with Bob Custer in the lending role. A pretty love match between Bob Custer and Mary Beth Milford aa the girl, serves to make this western production one of the liveliest shown in weeks. Mary Beth is a petite blond young ster who scored a big' hit in thu Music Box Revue in New York and then deserted the footlights for the cinema. Thrills galoro also make "Galloping -Vengeance" clean, fast entertainment of the red-blooded sort. for real old-fashioned melodrama will find "Code of tbe West," which cmues to the McDonald soon, a very satibfying screen dish. This picturi zation of Zane Grey'e great novel of the same name, wse . pro duced for Paraiuocnt by William K. Howard from the film adaptation by Lueien Hubbard. Melodrama runs rampant through out this photoplay which finally winds up wiilr one of the most melodra matic climaxes, in the shape of a roaring forest fire, that baa ever been flashed upon the screen. The story itself departs from the regulation plot formula and intro duces several new dramatic situa tions and comic touches. The action revolves around lovely little flap per from New York who is compelled to go to Arizona for ber health. She chooses the Tburman ranch as ber temporary abode because ber sister, the neighborhood school teacher, is boarding there. All of the ranch hands fall in love with her, but she singles out for ber attentions Cnl Tburman, the shy, awkward younger son of the family. Eventually be summons up enough courage to propose to her and re ceives the shock of his lifo when she coldly turns him down. And to add insult to injury, she deliberately flirts with Bid Hatfield, manager of a neighboring ranch end Cal's-deadly enemy.
