There is n movement before the
committee to propose creation of a

Bronze Belp' Scores at Crescent

never been more spectacularly por-
trayed than in the impressive royal
palace scenes which are one of the
many features of 1.-THE Bronze Bell"
the big Thomas H. Ince-Louis Vance
special production for Paramount at
the Crescent Theatre.
An extravagantly jewelled throne
platform. rich ivory ornaments, ele-
CANT .silken tapestries, and rare ORR

Har Dyal Rutton. a powerful prince
of India, renounces his right to rule

rebellion against English rule.
The retinue of native princes. SOL
diery and yelled dancing girls are at

with jewels and precious gold orna-
ments comparable only to the fur

proper dress for this ceremonial was
ascertained only after extensive re-
search in the most authoritative
works on Indian costumes, and all
of the robes and other ornaments
were especially made by the Ince

Doris May and Courtenay Foote
assume the leading roles.

AT the Strand

IT ain't much good at this here
preachin' stuff; but If it amt too
late to help the sky pilot we would
sure appreciate it."
With this genuine, heart felt SEN
timent expressed by M of the cow
boys, whose knowledge Of religion
had dated with the recent arrival of
tho young minister in Canadian
ranch belt King Vidor, director of
The Sky Pilot" the Cathrine Cur
tbs production, which opened it's
three day engagement at the Strand
theatre yesterday. smashes home
served to distinguish the motion
picture productions of that young
director-genius from among the
other p~resent-day releases.
Nor was this stroke on the part of
Vidor an easy matter to implant. In
the story THE Sky Pilot" which
is a faithful adaptation from the
book by Ralph Conner, a series of
smashing climaxes, would naturally
serve to lead the average director
away from the path of human-inter-
est and into the realms of the spec
tacular.
Perhaps the most remarkable fact
about this picture is Vidor's accom-
plishment of putting his gripping
human story across and at the same
time sacrificing no dramatic interest
and suspense. Undoubtedly in his
filming of the cattle stampede he
has scored a success that will be
hard to duplicate.
This stampede is undoubtedly n
of the most rousing Bits of action
enacaed before a motion picture
camera. Picture 1000 head of
panic-stricken cattle in a mad rush
toward the helpless figure of the
little ranch girl, who has been
thrown from her horse. Visualize
the tense moment that m when
the Sky Pilot realizes the girls pre-
dicament and determines to ride to
her, ostensibly to reach her before
the laundering cattle have crushed
her.

was shown at the Ditmas theatre
with considerable success yesterday.

Pilgrim" is a worth while photoplay
whose artistic excellence is stamped
upon every scene.
The story deals with a novelist
whose career is ruined through a
murder committed by his mother-in-
law and who later finds happiness
and love after many thrilling Incl
dents have tr~anspired. Rubye de
Remer. an invalid heiress, plays an
important part in his life's work.
The story is based on Samuel Mer-
wins famous novel and the picture
was personally directed by Robert G.
Vignola with artistic results.
Rubye de Remer, who plays the
leading woman's role in 1.-THE Pas
sionate Pilgrim" is, according to
Paul Helleu. the famous French art
it's, the queen of American beauties.
There are few who will dispute this
assertion.
Matt Moore, who plays the leading
role in 1.-THE Passionate Pilgrim" is
one of the most virile and popular of
screen actors. His role in this big
Paramount picture is one of the best
of his screen career.
The program also includes the fea-
