that the motion picture officials
have given to the new big Rex
Beach production of his great
Alaskan railroad story, The Iron
Trail" which will be the feature
at the Crescent theatre, beginning
tomorrow.
The new Beach production was
made under the watchful eye of the
famous author himself. Every loca-

faithful to the Alaskan country in
which the theme of his story is laid,
and the all-star cast that portrays
the leading roles and the incidental
characters were approved by him
before any of the Genes were
made.
In reproducing the spectacular
railroad construction scenes. Mr..
Beach in close collaboration with
Director r. William Neill elabo-

tons, and the reported result is that
the film version is twice as blood
stirring as the book.

The Invisible Power" a Goldwyn
picture, coming 10 the Ditmas thea
ire for three days beginning tomor-
row. is a strong drama by Charles
Kenyon. the author of the famous
American play. "Kindling.' Ii Is
essentially a story of the regenera-
ton OF a former thief. but empha-
sizes the difficulties hat his wife
undergoes rather than the under
world activities of ~gangsters.
Irene Rich, as the wife, reveals
new depths in portraying pathos and
the sacrifices of a mother who pre-
fers TO part with her infant rather
than see her grow M to learn that
her father was a thief. House Peters,
as the reformed crook, who Is
bounded by the secret police. gives
a manly and romantic performance
that will add to his prestige as one
of the most appealing leading men
now on the screen. This is his first
appearance in a Goldwyn picture.
Frank Lloyd directed "The Invisi-
BILE Power" and Norbert Brodin, the
cameraman. succeeded in obtaining
some remarkable Photographic eff
fects. The settings. designed by
Cedric Gibbons. show some new ar
tistic effects never before seen on
the screen. Powerful impressions
of height and depth r obtained by
simple designs of two walls of a
cell, or a gate TO represent a jail.

subsequent seasons have marked its
