GIRLS FIGHTS WAY THROUGH
HE-MAN COUNTRY ALONE
She went into the Rhodesian gold
field alone—with just one purpose in
mind.
This girt, once the idol of London,
left behind her everything that could
connect her with her scintilating past
She went in with eyes open for she
knew that she was going into a man's
world—a world of hardfisted. heavy
drinking, depress«^ and morose mer.
—a world where no decent girl could
live and remain decent.
Disguised as a man she plunged in
to this vertibale hell upon earth,
where men worked, fought and drank
with no thought of the morrow.
And as a man she worked, and
fought with these hardened charac
ters of the veldt, that she might save
"her man” from the curse of that
arid land—ponjola, the poisoning
moral-destroying drink of the Hot-'
sam and jetsam that lived its mono
tonous life beneath the torrid Afri
can sun.
Thia is “Ponjola”, Cynthia Stock-
ley’s stirring, exciting story of South
African gold field life, which b to be
shown Sunday at the Majestic.
Anna Q. Nilsson enacts the great
est role of her career in this First
National picture. Other popula.
players in the cast are James Kirk
wood, Tully Marshall, Ruth Clif
ford, Joseph Kilgour, Edwin Sturgis,
Claire McDowell, Claire Du Brey and
Bernard Randall.

Her name or marriage were the
alternatives. Innocent letters, but a
stinging, powerful lash in the hands
ofthe man she had believed in. She
went to the cabin and there told her
story to the priest—and “Slippy Mc
Gee”. The letters had to be recover
ed, within an hour!
How “Slippy McGee” «brou«’!
back the sunshine smile to the Soul
em'girl who had first given him hope
“to go straight” is the climax v-<v
en into the remarkable story of “Sir
Py McGee,” Oliver Morosco’a scree
feature that is coming to the Ma
jestic theatre Saturday as a First Na
tional attraction. “Slippy McGee”,

screen presentation.
Into the quiet, unhurried lives of
quaint Southern folks “Slippy Mc
Gee”, America’s cleverest safe crack
er. Not from choice, but by fate—in
jured, helpless, trapped. He expected
the kindly priest, to whose home he
had been carried to “call the bulls".
But the priest didn’t. And then cam«
the girl with her smile and her sup
gestion of helpfulness.
' The title role of “Slippy McGee”
is filled by Wheeler Oakman with a
fidelity that brings- the character
straight from the pages of the book
while Sam de Grasse makes the prie t
the triumph of his entire stage car
eer. Colleen Moore brings all of her
gladness to the role of the Southern
girl. Others in the Morosco lineup are
Pat O’Malley, Edwin Stevens, Edith
Yorke, Lloyd Whitlock, Alfred Allen.
Robert E. Dunbar, Evelyn Selbie,
Charles E. Evens, Nellie Peck Snu id
ers and little Wanda Phelps.

El Sang’rito—the bloody one!
This equine •ctor in “The Night
Hawk”, Hunt Stromberg’s produc-
tion starring Harry Sarey, is well
named.
One of the thrills he contribute«'
to the picture is trampling his hu
man enemy to death beneath his
deadly hoofs!
If one horse can provide a punch
like this, think of the furious pace
which the cast must maintain to
compete with him!
Harry Carey is seen for the first

many feet have been unwound and
is just as thrilling as ever, Clair«
