against the strong--of the unfortu-
nate against circumstances-the final
triumph Of devotion and faith--a doc
ument ringing of the truest of human
appeal, a story that is destined to
become as great national favorite
as was 'Humoresque."
Fannie Hurst this time presents a
mother. her son and her daughter,
and introduces "the real man." The
story is the very essence of simplicity
and, consequently, the very ultimate
in strength and appeal. 1t would
spoil perfectly wonderful entertain
ment to divulge the plot of Just

truthfully said, If you saw "Humor-

real substance; if you enjoy perfect
cinematization, artistic portrayal, in

that Sure Fire" resolves to turn over
a new leaf. The mortgage is the first
thing he tackles, and this leads him
to the discovery that his swe etheart's
married sister is about to become a
partner in an elopement with man
whom Sure Fire mistrusts. He
realizes the wife is simply infatuat-
ed: that if the husband learns the
truth before the woman can be
brought to her senses, happiness for
at least two will be wrecked, and the
damage might include the taking OF
life. So "Sure Fire takes matters

This will be the advice, doubtless,

WITH MANY THRILLS

Nell Shipman, director, author and
star in The Girl From Gods Coun-
try" the tremendous outdoor produc-
tion announced for presentation at
Mauk's Columbia theater next Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, assumes a
dual role in this greatest of all Ship
man pictures. AS Neeka, "the girl of
the outdoors" she plays a distinctly
different characterization than that
OF Marion Carslake, the daughter Of a
millionaire.
The story deals with a sensational
trans-Pacific airplane flight planned
by Carlslake, known to the world as
the wizard OF the air" but in reality
his inventions have been made by a
"crazed' inventor living in a lonely
hut in the sand dunes. This inventor
provides "solidified gasoline" for the
flight. Carslakes daughter, Marion,
is angered at her fathers adoption of
Neeka- a girl of the north woods, not
realizing that Neeka is her real sister
and the daughter of Carslake.
Otto Kraus, owner of the rival
plane, the KIP, makes an effort to
steal the formula. He accepts a posi-
tion as butler in the Carslake man
sion and there tricks Neeka into Sc
curing the formula When Neeka
realizes that she has turned traitor
to her real father, she follows Kraus
in another plane. A thrilling battle
in mid-air follows, in which Neeka is
saved by a parachute drop.
