"HOME TALENT"

Mack Sennett's newest picture
comedy of more than two-reel length
is Home Talent and will be shown
at the Grand theatre September Is
and 16. 1t tells a story at once novel
and spectacular. According to the
plot of Home Talent" a quartet of
stranded vaudeville ARTISTS" of the
home talent" variety seek a way
out of their financial difficulties and
in the adventures that ensue precipi-
tate everything short of an interna-
tional crisis. They even involve an
cient Rome.
Occupying adjoining apartments
in a country town hotel whose pro
prietor Charley Murray has more
sentiment than sense, are two yaude-
vile teams. Ben Turpin and James
Finlayson comprise the one and Ed
die Gribbon and Kalla Pasha the
other. Their mishaps in rehearsal T.
bring the four stranded entertainers
together in more senses than one;
after which they decide to pool their
issues and seek a joint way out OF
their perplexing financial troubles.
So they concoet a show. This
is the more reasonable since the
landlords daughter phyllis Havr)
has, in common with most of her
sex, a strong belief that destiny calls
her stagewards. The landlord, see
ing no other way to collect on the
long-overdue bills Of his guests, UNI
dertakes to sponsor and finance the
show. The rehearsals begin and so
does the trouble. The homemade
play is supposed to relate thrilling
tale of ancient Rome in which null
titude of beautiful girls are required
for the principal scenes. A host OF
beautiful girls will appear in the
Romanesque episodes of the ingeni-
Gus story. Home Talent" will be
shown at the Grand theatre Thurs
day and Friday, September Is and
16.

"THE LOVE SPECIAL"

Those girls back in the old days
certainly were brave" remarked Syl-
via Ashton, heavyweight character
actress, as she climbed into an old
fashioned side-saddle on a horse, for
scenes in Wallace Reid's new Para
mount picture, The Love Special, !"
which will be shown at the Liberty
theatre next Saturday, Sunday and
Monday.
Although this was her first ride
on a horse, Mother" Ashton met
with no mishaps and returned from
the Yosemite location trip as healthy
as ever. There were IA pounds
lost during that ride" related Mrs.
Ashton, "but the horse lost them.
As for me, I gained five"
Regarding Mrs. Ashton's horse
back ride, Wallace Reid persisted in
telling afterwards in a spirit of Jest,
that upon inquiring next morning of
the ranger as to the health of the
morse the ranger replied that the
animal had died at 400 o'clock that
morning. But Mrs. Ashton insists
mat the horse is still in perfectly
good health.
The new picture is a railroad story
founded on the novel, "The Daugh-
Ter OF Magnate," by Frank H..
Spearman. The cast includes Agnes
Ayfes' leading woman, Theodore
Aooerts, Lloyd Whitlock, Sylvia
ashton, Alexander Gaden, Clarence
Burton and others.

CONVICT RETURNS PRISONERS

Prison deliveries usually are
marked by desperation and violence
rarely by judgment or any purpose
beyond escaping from the confining
walls.
Daniel Craig wanted to escape
from the state prison at San Pedro
to seek some opportunity to estab-
lish his innocence of murder for
which he had been sentenced to
serve 20 years at hard lbor. He also
felt that a number of his fellow pris-
oners could be freed without danger
or injury to society. He did not in
tend to permit the escape of such
hardened and dangerous criminals

cool breeze from the sea. It is the dan
ger OF overemphasis. Nature, we are
willing to believe, is accountable for
the sunlight which flickers on the sur
face Of Mr.. Lies rich hued waters, and
when the sun lies on the other side
Of the broad sails with which he is
apt to fill his middle distance their
dark patches make an inevitable foil
to the fragments Of light that get
through the interstices of the compo-
sition. Yet nature generally avoids
the staccato effect into which Mr..
Lie seems 80 often to be .lured. We
like that effect. 1t is bold, brilliant
and very characteristic Of Mr.. Lie and
of no other. But we can't help want
ing little more atmospheric envel-
opment of the picture, design no less
ingeniously balanced, yet fuller,
subtler, little more tender.
To ask this, however, is possibly to
ask Mr.. Lie to be somebody else, which
would be absurd in itself and bit un-
grateful in the bargain. For his way
is robust ingratlating way, lavish of
good color, full of sound workman's
enjoyment of his instruments and his
medium. and, despite the faint hint Of
Fictitious handling of light, remark
ably interpretative Of the truth Look
ing at winter scene like the "House
by the Stream" we feel that, after all,
it is probably only question of time
that when these canvases have mel
lowed the painter will be justified of
his hypothesis, a settlement of the pig
ment bringing the charm which neeos
to be added to his power. While we
are waiting we wouldn't be sorry to
hear that he had begun to interest him
self in more gracious harmonies, paint
ing flowers, for example, with a more
delicate touch. Delcacy of touch, a
greater suavity, would greatly increase
his already substantial claim upon
public attention.
