The Melting Pot.

'J'he Melting Pot", a six rec
photo play featuring Wake,
Whiteside of theatrical fame, was
shown at The Play House Sunday
evening and established the fact
that the management of this pop.
ular picture theatre can and
does secure some of the best re
leases in film productions. While
the audience was of fair size and
the window receipts showed an
appreciated profit the excellence
of the play should have been en-
]oyed by many more, and the
house entitled to a much larger
crowd. The play Sunday eve
ming was in keeping of the Play
House motto, to show "the best
there is" and we are assured that
future features on their program
will be as good as the last and up
to standard. Considering the
added expense in showing these
pictures in EkaIaka, such as the
furnishing of their own electric
lights, the employment of their
special five piece orchestra and
the overland transportation of
their films, to be greeted by a
full house on special feature occas-
sions would be only contributing
a deserved liberal profit to the
owners. To be able to secure
such features as "The Melting
Pot' in Ekalaka, especially so
far from the railroad and to get
regular film releases from such
firms as the Mutual Film Corpor-
alton should be appreciated by
the people of this section and if
you have not as yet attended one
OF their Sunday night features 90
next time and we assure you that
you will not be disappointed,
but will become an enthusiastic
booster, as many have, for the
local amusement theatre.
To the Public-After the 18th
of June l will open up Minute
Lunce and close the American
Plan. L. T. Ramme.

Action Is What Counts

Ihe motto of today is action.
TO one in the vortex of a thrill
filled motion picrure career this
fact comes with compelling force.
Mediocre plots and aimless stories
have given way to virile stories
carrying heart-stirring punch
es." These latter require some-
what Of mental mechanics on the
part of the scenario writer, great
skill on the part Of the producer
and limitless energy and daring
on the part of the actor.
There is a certain witchery
about doing daring things, that
become part of ones being and
urge one onward on new endeav-
ors, new stunts and risks in the
exciting race for thrills. How
ever thrills must not be put into
pictures merely because they are
thrills Rather there should be a
definite, and logical reason, the
actual daredevil stutns being
woven together with a tense dra-
matte story.
In The Girl and the Game"
appearing at the Play House every
Wednesday, there is the most
gripping secession of thrills |
have ever seen in motion pict-
ures, and that is saying much,
for many daring things have
been accomplished.
This new screen novel in chap
ters is, to my mind, the thrill
continuous. +" And, too, the dra-
matte situations are threaded
with an unusual tenseness, re-
vealed in the story's unfolding in
a manner both orderly and logi-
cal, and it is because there is a
reason for them, that they mean
so much and stir ones heart to
to the full.
For instance, in the first chap
ter of The Girl and the Came"
| am compelled to jump my horse
Rocket" iuto a river from a
bridge that has just been opened.
| do not know that any other
leading woman has ever attempt
ed such a feat.
1t is something in which the
element of personal risk is very
great, but this is one of the de-
mands upon a leading woman
that must be met, and met with
out losing sympathy or that air
of femininty of which we are all
oO proud.
But by that l do not mean the /
frail side of women. l mean the
heroic side-deeds of vaIor based I
upon the highest ideals. Mr.. /
Frank Hamilton Spearman, auth
or of 'The Girl and the Game"
certainly is the possessor of
wondrously inventive imagination
proved not only by this story, but
by his previous writing.
In the past have found it in
to have an authors
imagination tempered by the fear
of possible injury to me. And in
this statement l do not
believe l am any braver or more
