"HONOR SYSTEM" ON
FOX SCREEN SUNDAY

When a motion picture can satisfy
a critical New York audience for one
performance, it is considered by those
who know the game to be a success
full piece of work. But when a picture
runs, not one night, but three solid
months, in a Broadway theater and
turns away hundreds of people the
last and every day of its engagement,
at prices that are as high two dol
lars a seat, then there en- be no ques-
ton but what it is one of those rari-
ties-an absolute masterpiece. And
this is the record made by the Honor
SYSTEM that bis ten-act Fox super
deluxe work of art, that will be
shown at the local Fox theater for
five days, starting tomorrow. 1t prob
ably created more favorable comment
from capable and eXacting critics
than any other picture ever shown on
the great white way. And 1t is one
Of those things that cannot be praised
too much, for it lives up to every
promise made for it. Gigantic in pro-
portions, thrilling in action, simple
and thoroughly human in theme,
thoroughly exact and truthful In de-
TAIL it is packed from beginning to
end with action.
MANY of the scenes in the picture
were taken in one of the largest pris-
ons in the Southwest by special per
mission and the results are strlkingly
realistic. In particular may be cited
the scene in the huge prison dining
hall, where three thousand life and
long-term prisoners, upon pre-ar-
ranged signal, revolt, and, overpower-
ing the unprepared guards and trus-
ties, escape and take to the open
country.
William Fox seems endowed with
some sixth sense which tells him how
to select the proper people for his
big productions. And when he de-
cides, money is no object In The
Honor System he came to the con-
clusion that for the principal types
he required the services of George
Walsh, Miriam Cooper and Gladys

ors of these stars objected strenuous
ly, he overruled them all. He IS the
only film producer who ever put sc
many big stars into single picture
