TIE WILD GOOSE"
 AT GALAX MONDAY

Man may desert his mate, but the wild goose makes but one choice in his or her brief span of life, and nothing ever separates them but death. This fact has been used by Gouverneur Morris, ranked as one of the greatest writers American fiction has ever produced, in his story, "The Wild Goose.n which has been pie turized by Paramount with an all- star cast "The Wild Goose" will be the attraction at the Galax Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 MT. Morris is able to write the drama of life as it is to real peo- pie, and the producer has taken this famous story and brought it to the screen in the form of a most absorb ing drama The characters of the story are living and their destinNs are worked out in story filled with interest from start to finish
 The cast chosen to portray the principal roles is an excellent one. Mary MacIIaren, one of the most tal- ented of the younger actresses, has an important role. Herbert Heyes, who has been seen in number of big productions recently, and Norman Kerry, one of the best known of leading men, are also featured. The cast includes, as well, Joseph Smiley, Rita Rogan and otheSs

"The Spenders," by H. [. Wilson,
 Feature Attraction at the Trianon

<. When Benjamin B. Hampton se- lected the famous novel, "The Spenders,' by Harry Leon Wilson, he made wise and timely choice. This oft repeated story of exag- Gerated extravaganza and i'll af- forded luxury in The Spenders," the Trianon picture this week, is one particularly timely right now after America's inflated living of the past few years. It is a narrative of ex- 'penditures regardless of the time that inevitably must come-the time when it is pay or take the conse- quences.
 Aside from careful production of one of the leading successful pro- ducers the excellent material that Wilson's imaginative story furnishes plays the greater part in the sue cess of the great photoplay. The in- cident is just as full of sparkling comedy as it is of the most intense drama; never for a single instant does the action lag, and one spark ling situation follows another at a high rate of speed The combina- ton of one of the foremost producers with one of the best authors is a combined effort that has resulted in real triumph.
 Before leaving Montana for New York city, P. Percival Zines meets in an informal way Avice Milbrey. She and her father are travelling in the private car of Rulon Shepler

with other guests. The Milbreys are an impoverished family, but have kept up appearances on the money -ot Shepler for over year. Shepler is in love with Avice Milbrey, and feels that he has claim on her.
 When Percival Zines gets to New York he enters the stock exchange, but an unseen opponent Is always breaking through every deak and re- ducng him slowly but surely to ruin and disgrace. The unseen hand is no other than Shepler The climax comes in a frame up that will reduce Sheplers western rival to absolute disgrace and penury. But an uneX- pected development turns the tide, and the rest of the story Is along the lines of clearing up the debriSfof lost reputations and of joining new loves.
 Seldom has so strong a cast been assembled for single production as is to be found in this Benjamin B. Hampton masterpiece. Each player was chosen for his or her especial fitness for the role to be portrayed, and each has to his or her credit a long string of past successes. Even the so-called minor roles-which contribute so largely to the success or failure of production-wer al loted to artists of distinction.
 Those in the caste are: Claire Adams, Robert McKm, Joseph DowI- ing, Niles Welch, Betty Brice, Viz einia Harris and others.
