AT THE ISIS "The Old Nest" seems to
be in a fair way to break the Topeka screen
record for long runs. The theater showed
to crowded houses for the start of its eec-
ond week
While not a spectacular production, its
story OF home and mother has a gripping
appeal to all that holds the attention and
keeps one concentrated on the develop
ment Of the plot almost from the start Of
the projecting camera.
The theme is in the main accountable
for this, but the really good job Of direct
ing is the underlying reason. The scenes
fade one into the other without a break
and the superb acting on the part of Mary
Alden and a cast far above the average
make The Old Nest a picture that Will
