Today and for the entire week
Douglas Fairbanks in his newest
photoplay Reaching for the Moon"
viii be shown at Loew's Columbia.
The picture Is based on original ideas
of Fairbanks, who is somewhat OF a
philosopher. He contends that II a
man can make good in a small way
he can develop himself to success In a
bigger venture; that the attainment
OF happiness is really success, and that
one should take advantage OF exist
ing opportunities instead OF "reach-
ing for the moon" Anita Loos and
John Emerson prepared this philo-
sophical story. dealing with the
dreamer who envies the big man.
The scenes are laid in Italy and
New York. Owing TO the difficulty of
ocean travel, an Italian city, with ro-
mantle canals ana picturesque gon-
dolas, and a royal palace, were con-
structed in Los Angeles. The repro
duction OF tho settings OF a royal
court, and the magnificent costumes,
make this photoplay one Of the most
costly and pretentious in which the
star has ever appeared.
The supporting cast includes such
well-known players. as Frank Cam
pau, Eileen Percy, and Eugene Or
monde. a Hearst-Pathe News and
other short reel subjects will also be
shown in addition TO the main fea-
