as a pinch hitter against them.
Oddly enough, after he has been on

Collins is, to my way OF thinking, an
unfortunate ball player. Had he

might have been different. On Mack's,
for instance, he probably would have
been q great star.
Mack would have cured him of the

 "Thc Railroad Raiders" is of course under the supervision and di- rection of J. P. McGowan, the di- rector who has achieved a notable series of box office successes in sim liar productions, notably "Thc Girl and the Game" and "A Lass of the Lumberlands.
 "Consistent and repeated success of the Helen Holmes photonoyels has given her remarkable box Of- flee value" comments Samuel 5. Hutchinson, president of the Signal Film Corporation, from whom the announcement of the new produc- ton comes
 Hutchinson has just returned to Chicago from a journey to the Sig nal studios in California, where con rcrences with McGowan were held

McGowan is being given all of the assistance possible and every facil- ity that he may proceed to put the best that is in him into "The Rail- road Raiders" As the title sug- gcsts. it is a characteristic Helen Holmes story with lots Of-ucrve and adventure and action"

The Upstart," at the Coliseum, is almost a George Bernard Shaw qual- ity Of satiricoI humor and stands unique as an original and doitly told motion picture, Metro, who is responsible for this pictorial hit, gives us one of the-- clevcgest pie lures ever turned out of its studios or for that matter, any studio.
 So subtly turned is the humor, so gracefully developed in the idea, that ft is quite possible there are those who may see it from a serious anglc-the divorce problem--whcn in reality it is merely a purpOseful comedy, and a rare comedy at that.
 The character of Coventry Pet more, idealistic, impractical and above all cratic. is new to screen lore. George Lc Guere as the wide eyed youth who leaves wife and baby 10 preach his divorce doctrines, portrays this difficult part. He, al- though supporting Marguerite Snow, really carries away the honors. It is a great play. Graft in another episode. is also thrilling. This bill runs for the remainder of this week.
