''SCRAP IRON" AT THE
REX THEATER SUNDAY

Charles Ray in a rifle different
from anything he has ever done be-
fore is the promise held out by the
announcement that Scrap Iron will
be First National attraction at the
REX theater for two days, beginning
Sunday. In this production the star
portrays the role Of young mill-hand
who goes through series OF heart
stirring and dramatic incidents which
disclose him as am actor of high emo
,tional talent.
The story, written by Charles T..
Van Loan and published in the Satur-
day Evening Post, relates the trials
and tribulations Of John Steele, the
character portrayed by Ray. in try
ing to keep faith with his widowed
invalid mother. There is humor IN
1T in abundance. but underlying the
whole story is a deep vein OF pathos
that makes it absorhingly interesting
and sympathetic.
" A fine scene in which Steel offers
himself as a sacrifice Of local cham
pion furnishes the big trhill OF the
porduction and 1t is fight that will
Stir the blood Of anyone seeing 1t. he
must last three rounds or the money
r,seded to keep his mother provided
with the necessities of life will not
be his. and for. three rounds he stalls
and blocks and takes a terrific beat
ing. The fourth round is another
story, and as exciting story as one
could wish to see.

"O'MALLEY OF THE MOUNTED"
" STORY OF CANADIAN N. w

"Set thief to catch thief" is
an old adage, but when an, honest
man turns thief to ingratiate himself
with real bandits, a new angle is in
troduced. This is one of the striking
situations in "O'Malley Of the Mount
ed" 81" -. e'T2> s:@s
AS Al member of the Northwestern
Mounted Police, aHrt is sent out to
capture a slayer: He follows him
across the border and locates him in Il
little western COW town. He finds that
the youth---for he is little more---is
protected by the Hill band of des-
peradoes. To get into their good
graces, Hart, as O'Malley, boldly
masks and rides into the town bank,
secures $4,000 and rides out again
and into the bandit camp. Thus he
becomes one Of the band.
He returns the money and is later
accused of being a traitor. He is to
he hanged by the bandits, but the
man he came to capture aids him to
escape, because O'Malley has protect
ed the slayer's sister from the worst
man of the motley crew of land pir-
ates. Later learning that the killing
was jus'tified---if homicide can ever
be justiflable---O'Malley leaves the
youth and his sister on the United
States side Of the border and resigns
his own commission in the mounted.
This is the barest possible outline
of story that ibristles with origin
ality and thrill. 1t is one of Harris
best and will be shown as a special
Sunday and Monday at the Grand.
