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.,

Washington, Benjamin
Franklin,
LaFayette,
Alexander
Hamilton, Patrick Henry, Paul Re
vere and other character famous in

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. The hind
wheel was broken, the front wheel
badly* dished and f^ont axle broken
a» a result.’ Mrs. Baker and children
accompanied by Mrs. Hazel Woods,
and daughter, had juet returned
from a trip to The Dalles,
Next Sunday promises to be a big
day at the Presbyterian churc1*. Rev.
W. L. VanNuys, secretary of the
Board of Religious Education for
the Synod of Oregon, and an expert
in dealing with problems concerning
the Sunday school, the home, the
week day religious school, and kin
dred interests will be with us all day.
He will speak at the Sunday school
at 10, and will be the speaker at the
morning service at 11:00. Special
music is being prepared to add in
terest to the service. In the evening
he is the invited speaker by the
Senior Class of Moro high school to
preach the baccalaureate sermon for
the class, at 8:00 that night. Spec
ial music is also being prepared for
this service.

“ 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.
It should quickly find its.
place among the few pictures that have unquestionable perma
nent value.
For those who may insist on treating it as merely
entertainment, “Janice Meredith” fills the bill. / It cannot
fail to hold any audience of Americans.
It is a remarkable
skillful blending of history and romance.
“The Turmoil’*
i
Saturday, May 23
A big creamy slice of up-to-the-minute American society and
business life with a crash and a smash in It.
Packed with
well-known American types so true and family clashes so
realistic as to strike home with every audience everywhere.
