Days of this Week.

less willard, Thursday.
Following can be read few of the
newspaper criticisms about ''The Chal-
lenge of Chance" the super-picture fea-
turing Jess Willard, which will be shown
Thursday:
N. Y. Sunless Willard film is full of
action. Willard is seen in three big fight
scenes and at least in this picture film
patrons can be sure that none of the
scrapping is faxed. The mixups in this
picture can easily be said to be the best
specimens of heavyweight art SO far ex-
hibited.
N. Y. Herald-Jess Willard huge and
heroic in the "movies." ''The Challenge
of Chance" reveals him as an actor in
racing Melo-Drama from Juarez.
N. Y. World-Willard as film actor
shows 'em how to fight
N. Y. American-Jess Willard success
in new screen play at Park Theatre. A
capacity house attested to the general in
terest in the picture.
The big surprise of the evening was the
unexpected "niceness" of Jess Willard
as an actor. No one even had sneaking
idea that the big fellow would be able to
put dash of the heroic into his screen
Characterization. Yet from his first in
PRODUCTION, when he flashed into ken as
slow-moving, slow-smiling foreman of
the Blake outfit in Texas, the fighter sort
of won one.
N. Y. Evening Journal-''The Chal-
lenge of Chance" starring Jess Willard,
presents the big fellow in a drama of
Western life that for fast action, real
honest-to- goodness fight scenes and ro-
mantle adventure surpasses anything of
like dramatic nature that has been shown.
Wizards picture opened at the Park
Theater, Columbusj Circle, last night to
packed house, with line at the box office
extending for block away from the
theatre. 1t is fair to assume that not one
of the hundreds who crowded into the
Park on the opening night left the theatre
disappointed Willard surprised them all
by his naturalness before the camera.
The plot holds from the first flash to the
final fade-out. "The Challenge of Chance"
is screen attraction that should meet
the approval of every man, woman and
child in the United States.
