Picture Show News For The Current Week What is said to be the most original plot ever employed in a comedy is woven into Douglas Mac- Lean’s “Never Say Die.” The story is an adaptation of one of Willie Collier’s greatest stage succsses, a piece which kept Broadway laugh ing for a year and also played for three successive seasons on the road. The play was also presented in Lon don, Australia and other world cen ters where it swept audiences off their feet and broke attendance record^. But the screen version i» said to be even more funny and thrilling than was possible through the limited medium of the stage. There are some jtlays that depend cn mystery for their appeal; some on dramatic action or surp^^climaxes; come purely on thrills and excite ment, but after,all, the greatest ap peal in a play is humanness?-'-This u exci.iphaed in “The Turmoil,” Hob: rt Henley’s Universal-Jewel pic- turizatidh of Booth Tarkington’s fa mous novel. The play hxs all qualities, one laughs with its characters, one weeps with them; its smashing dramatic episodes thrill; but over all these things, the play is great bcause it is life itself. Booth Tarkington, per haps better than any other author, knows how to get real human beings into his stories. It is a powerful story, the tale of a self-made mil lionaire, imperious, rtthles» and in domitable, fighting ever to gain more dollars. More than 7,500 actors, including one of the most notable casts ever assembled on the screen, appear in “Janice Meredith,” Marion .Davies’ newest picture, which comes to Moro on Friday, May 22nd: It is the most pretentious picture ever made by the Cosmopolitan Cor poration, combining a charming love story and a series of dramatic thrills with the most important events in the founding of the American Re public. For magnitude, for dramatic sweep, for sheer splenTor and mag- nifience of settings and costumes, it surpasses anything heretofore accom plished by Miss Davies. And it is American to the core. Historical authorites on the period of the American Revolution have pronounc ed it the most authentic picture of its kind ever produced.- It is from the famous novel by Paul Leicester Ford. “Japice Meredith,” can be called a screen epic of the American Revo lution. It embrace« the entire Revo lutionary era from 1775 to 1783. Such important events as the Boston Tea Party, the Ride of Paul Revere, the Battle of Lexngton, Patrick Hen ry’s speech, the Crossing of the Delaware, the Battle of Trenton, the Battle of Yorktown, and surrender of the British; as well as many other incidents in the maknig of this nation, are all faithfully depicted in this picture., George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, LaFayette, Alexander Hamilton, Patrick Henry, Paul Re vere and other character famous in the founding |jf the nation live again oA the screen, together with Lord Cornwallis, Sir William Howe, Col onel Rahl, Majox* Pitcairn, King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. In an unsuccessful effort to make the turn at Main and First streets last Saturday evening, Mrs. Otis Baker hit the sidewalk curb with both right hand wheels.

M oro T heatre OREGON MORO, “ The Signal Tower ” Friday, May 15 The most appealing thing in the world—a brave man’s devotion to duty in the face of dreadful peril to his wife. It’s all in Universal’s tremendous railroad drama, “The Signal Tower” featuring Virginia Valli, with Wallace Beery and Rockliffe Fellows. - \ “ Never Say Die ” Saturday, May 16 “Never Say Die” is the funniest romance ever screened—with the fastest-working bridegroom who ever slipped a ring over a bride’s finger—the most fascinating Parisian vamp who ever busted a romance—and the most furious fiance who ever lost a girl! “ Janice Meredith ” Friday, May 22 “Janice Meredith” is a remarkable contribution to the screen presentations of American history.
