Make good they did, Billy Burke
is the only movie star who can COM
pare with Peggy" Raglan as lead
ing lady. Nothing of the veneer that
so many put on was shown in Miss
Ragan's workout the real dyed in
the wool, honest to goodness sinceri-
y was what characterized her efforts.
Earl Hill, as the hero, was also all
there and not only as hero in the
scenario did he make good, but also
as real movie star Maurice Costel-
10 has nothing on Earl. .-*
But say, did you see that mug" of
Jack Carrigan's-talk about William
S. Hart, the man with thousand ex-
pressions-say-one of those express
sions which Jack pulled when "Miss
Lamberton" was talking to Monty in
the MILL would make ". S. Hart green
with envy. This morning half the
young men of the town were trying
to roll cigar around in their mouth
like Jack did. Plover may have the
champion speller, but Port Edwards,
can certainly lay claim to the worst
face -puller.
Neil Nash, as the william in the play
was first class and carried off a diff
cult part with ease and assurance.
Hugh Goggins must have practiced
that part whole lot to get away with
it the way he did. No one could say
it came naturally to him.
The members of the. company form
ing the support, Mrs. Whittlesey, as
Mrs. Lamberton and E. P Arpin as
Mr.. Lamberton, parents of the heroine
were very good. Harold Babcock as
Harold Lamberton, brother of Marion
had nice part to play and played it
right. He certainly did hump that au-
tomobile along when he went looking
for his sister.
A. f. Jones as Mr.. Winterby,
Monies dad, was good and carried his
part in fine style. --.... w..
Miss Jane Taylor and Miss Mar
garet Reiland as Lucille Kolt and Bet
ty Grey, chums of Marion's were fine.
TWAS a production which one would
like to see a second time-it was fill
ed with just enough of everything to
make 1t what it is, decided success.
Intense dramatic moments were found
as well as the usual '1ove scenes"
Some of the principal actions were
the fixing of the auto by Butler-the
resultant dash over the river bank and
the recovering of the senses by Mar.
ion and Monty after the accident.
The fight between Monty and But
Ter, the fall into the river and the ul-
innate rescue by Marion, who plunged
in to the assistance of her lover.
The scene in the mill when Marion
visits Monty and the terrible time the
foreman has with his face and the
scene at the swimming pool party.
The pictures showed the beautiful
scenery in this city up to good advan-
tage as we'll as showing some of the
best residences and we'll known spots
Miller's Buffet and Stovy Norton's
place of business for illustration.
The river scenes were especially beau
tiful.
It is to be hoped that this picture
will be shown in other Wisconsin CT
ties it will show the state what a
beautiful place Grand Rapids really
is, besides proving that we have some
wonderful movie talent here.
1t might not be bad suggestion to
make to say that if the Federation
and the Merchants and Manufacture
ers' association would get together
buy this picture, it would put a big
advertising opportunity in their hands.
Marshfield, Wausau, Merrill, Wau-
paca, Stevens Point and other cities
would be glad to see these pictures of
Grand Rapids, and the work of the To-.
cal actors and actresses would be a
surprise to them
