WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

EVOLVES OF THE RAIL"
 Thomas H. Ince presents Wm. s. Hart in this production. at the Coli. scum Sunday night only, which pro y;des a new character for the famous star. that of railroad star. that of q railroad detective running down a gang of bandits during the early days of the west The story is by Denison Gift and provides Hart with sensational scenes and thrilling situa- tions. He performs heroic feats, the climax of which is his daring ride alongside a runaway engine which he boards while his horse is going at mad gallop and prevents col. lision.
 Vola Vale. the beautiful and ac' complished girl who has played the leading feminine roles in Hart's re centu pictures. enacts charming TO monce with him in this photoplay

"DAUGHTER OF DESTINY" FIRST PETROvA PRODUCTION, SHOULD PROVE WINNER.

"The Daughter of Destiny" to b5 shown at the Orpheum tonight and Sunday is quite the best picture tha. Mime. Petrova has appeared in and 1t did particularly good business al the Rialto theatre, New York City Not only is the produ on lavish, but the acting is of a high order and the story is one of timely interest. Il should place the star on firm foot hold. That it was well liked at the RialtO means a great deal, for the people that attend this theatre know what a good picture is and seldom ap plaud one that is not considerably above the ordinary. Frequently dur ing the showing of this feature there was handclapping, when some par 'icularly beautiful scene was in eyi dence or when some fine bit of act ing was put over and the applause al the conclusion was very generous.
 In the role of the American girl married to German spy, Mime. Pet rova was called upon to do consid erable emotional acting and she reg istered her scenes in excellent fash ion finders Randolf was in lis glory, acting the role of the German spy and he put over one of the best villains of his career Thomas Hold ing was satisfactory as the Crown Prince while the balance of the play arc oro oil well cact
 There are any number of elaborate settings, the lighting and photography 1re of the best and the direction of George Irving leaves nothing to be desired The story concerning inter national complications, is one that is of decided interest to the public al he present time and this is mighty pig asset for the exhibitor
 Taken all in all Daughter of Des tiny" sets high standard for Petro va pictures and if those that follow are equal to this first effort of the new company neither picture fans CT theatre owners will have any cause for complaint.

JANE COWL NO VAMPIRE IN 1.-THE SPREADING DAWN"

In an interview recently, Jane Cowl provided an interesting guarantee of the moral quality of her first Gold wyn photoplay, 'The Spreading Dawn" to be seen at the Palace to- night only, declaring that she would n't have a story that wasn't clean and wholesome or that gave children wrong ideas. This was before the first scenario had been selected for her use
 By way of Illustrating her point, Miss Cowl cited several personal ex periences in which she had seen children bewildered while watching sex or problem plays, and wondered whether they were worth while after all. That she reached some conclu- sion in the matter is attested by her statement that she would have none for her own. use.
 Advance accounts of "The Spread ing Dawn indicate that the famous emotional star is carrying her theory out In practice The story Is de scribed as the dramatiZation of a diary kept by belle of the Civil War period in the United States, full of romance, but not lacking thrills Basil King is the author of the orig inal story which was published in the Saturday Evening Post.
 Miss Cowl is out-and-out in her de claration that she never will become k a screen vampire. True it is that she created the role of Mary Turner in the New Yorw production within the Law" part in which woman ruins man through her charms; but he motive there was revenge. and not just destruction, which is char acteristic-the learned doctors say of the vamp.
