Children of Punishment" Mitchell
Lewis second Select Picture, is GER
tainly one of the best Northwestern
pictures that has ever appeared upon
the screen. 1t has one very import
ant requisite, which few pictures of
that class contain--it is true to detail.
And it is true to detail because it was
taken in the heart of the Northwest
country--the Sierra Nevada noun
tains. No artificial sets were used
throughout the picture Everything is
true to life-even to the extras, who
were all men Of the mountains.
Mitchell Lewis, as usual, is typical
Northwestener-bi of soul and broad
of heart. He fairly radiates the
breezy, clean air of a great outdoors.
He is ably supported by a splendid
cast, all Of whom are excellently fit
ted for the parts they portray.
fight between Mitchell Lewis and
Arthur Morrison is one of the most
realistic the screen has ever pro-
duced. 1t is no namby-pamby affair;
1t is fight between two big men
who make good use of their fists and
the punch behind them.
Children of Punishment" with big
Mitch" Lewis, at the Washington
theatre today and tomorrow, Is well
worth seeing.
Pastoral simplicity Of the kind that
approaches grandeur is the inspiring
theme in the perturbation Of The
Shepherd of the Hills" the photoplay
which will be seen at the Washington
theatre on March 20, Fl and %. The
rugged honesty and worth of the men
hat lead cf livno in hn
tered Ozarks are graphically depicted.
These men, tall and outstanding, are
the same type as the sturdy fine trees
that reach up towards the stars from
the eternal hills. The same type Of
men who landed upon Plymouth Roch
and laid the foundation for this land
OF ours. In this great photoplay are
shown these truly American people,
living today as their fore-fathers did.
Men of giant strength and the kind
Illness of children. The people in this
play really live their lives. There IS
no sham, no affection. They love, hate
and have their being all unconscious
of the fact that they are portraying
the great drama of life. The scenic
back ground for this great drama is
supplied from a region rich in natures
beauties and a part of the country
which has been seldom photographed.
The play consists of ten reels with es-
pecial musical interpretations.
