Picture Show New« For The Current Week Charles Ray’s dramatic .triumph, “Dynamite Smith,” is a gripping, thrilling and, picturesque story of a timid young man who, on his first adventure in the world of men, en counters tragedy, love, vengeance, hate, fear and courage beyond his wildest dreams. Those who remem ber Ray’s famous characterizations of the bashful boy, will rejoice in “Dynamite Smith.” Those who have never seen him in such will find Charles Ray at his superlative best. It is a part that brings out all the charm in his personality and the strength and depth of his talent. “The Reckless Age” tells the story of the hilarious difficulties of a young nobleman who takes out in surance against a blighted romance. The insurance agent assigned to see that the projected marriage goes through, adds further complications by falling in love with the girl him self. Reginald Denny plays the a- gent, and is surrounded by a big cast of standard artists. Ruth Dwyer, one of filmdom’s popular beauties, who played opposite Herbert Rawlin son in three of his best pictures, is the girl, and Hayden Stevenson, who played his manager in “The Leather Pushers,” William Austin, and others who appear in its swift action are: John Steppling, Tom McGuire, Fred Malatesta, Frank Leigh, May Wal lace and Wjjliam Austin. C. E. Johnson and family motored to Portland last Friday, returning on Sunday. Mr. Johnson said it rained all the way down, only part of the way home, and all the time they were in Portland. He said that some of the things that are wished for at J^ome »re not always appreciated a- wiiy from borne. They were accom panied as far as Hood River by Mrs. A. S. Johnson. Floyd Flatt broke a universal joint and part of the transmission case on his Ford truck last Friday when leaving the Jesse Martin farm with a load of hogs he was trucking into Moro. The truck was unloaded and towed into town with his Ford car. His usual weekly Sunday trip to Portland was delayed by the ac cident and when made was by means of the Ford car and trailer. D. E.

M oro T heatre MORO. OREGON Dynamite Smith “Dynamite Smith’’ is so big, powerful and gripping that it lifts you out of yourself and sweeps you into a tumult of emotions. You laugh and cry, gasp and thrill. No human being can see this poignant drama and not be moved by its mighty heart appeal. * “The Reckies« Age” Saturday, April 25 It’s a mad, merry whirl of complications—Mrills and laughs crowded one on the other in quick succession—a love story to add a little sugar to the spice—and one of the best things Reginald Denny has ever done for Universal. Scaramouche ” The Rex Ingrain production for Metro of “Scaramouche” has been acclaimed as the greatest achievement in the history of motion pictures. Founded on Rafael Sabatini’s novel of the French Revolution, it tells the story of a young nobleman, Andre-Louis, who devotes his life to the cause of the rebels when hia dearest friend is murdered by a powerful marquis and the courts refuse to take action. “The Tornado” Saturday, May 2 House Peters in “The Tornado” presents that sterling player of the screen in the strongest role of his entire career. See him in _ the sensationally exciting melodrama crammed with thrills * e never attempted in any photoplay and climaxed by the most stupendous flood and tornado scenes ever recorded by the camera.
