FULL Of THRILLS
IS OFFERING At
THE STRAND TO-DAY

In announcing the engagement
this afternoon of The Son of Wal
lingford' the Strand is offering one
of the most sensationaIly spectacular
pictures on the screen today.
1t is a Vitagraph production,
filmed. directed and supervised in
every particular by Mr.. and Mrs.
George Randolph Chester, the clever
authors. Given carte blanche in the
matter of time, expense and facili-
ties, these two clever people have
evolved a screen triumph of which
they might well be proud.
The son of Wallingford is a type
exactly opposed to his father, and
in this element the story is decidedly
original and distinctly novel. The
tale is stepped in humanness and the
lure of romance is everywhere ap-
parent. 1t is an intimate tale of the
hopes, ambitions and achievements
of youth, accentuated by the right
determination. and is highly enter
tanning as well as being exception
ally unusual in the treatment the
screen version has made possible
An idea Of the size and import
ance of the feature might be gained
from some interesting figures avail
able in connection with the enter
prise
To begin with, the finished product
represents total cost Of 1852 469.48,

Mr.. AND MRS. CARTER
De HAVEN ARE At THE
COL LUMB|A TODAY

Mr.. and Mrs, Carter DeHaven's s
most delightful farce comedy. MARY
the Poor Girl" and Ben Turpin in
Bright Eyes are the two big laugh
numbers on the first hot-weather
program OF the season at Mauk' S
Columbia theater today and Monday.
Bright Eyes is fitting title for
this latest Ben Turpin screen scream,
for the man with the wonderful
eyes" is a manly hero. His hand
some countenance lends itself to the
funiest of all fun specials in which
he ever has appeared.
Bright Eyes" is the second big
Mack Sennett special two reel Of
fering direct from the Los Angeles
studio. They come direct from The
scored tremendously with Los An
geles playgoers.
Supporting Turpin are the rest of
the Mack Sennett players, including
Marie Provost, Charles Conklin, AL
bert Finlayson and the score or more
of Sennett bathing beauties. 1t is a
real laugh triumph and well worth
the price of admission.
Mary the Poor Girl" the Garter
DeHavens offerings. is guaranteed
cure for the blues. It starts with
bang and carries the spectator trough
a series of complications, a bit of the
boudoir. lace lingerie. lilies. merry
chases and merry faces. that are
presented in a big, lavish way. The
film was made for laughing purposes
only.
The story relates how Jack Tanner
secretly attains a state of inebria-
ton and causes a scandal when he
mistakes for his the room Of the
daughter of his house party hostess
and spends the night in her bathtub.
To check the scandal. he is married
to the girl, in spite of the fact that
each is engaged TO someone else.
Each believes that the one they love
will believe in their innocence and
they plan a divorce. But their faith
proves misplaced and the unwilling
husband and wife finally, after many
vicissitudes, find in each other the
qualities their sweet hearts proved
lacking in. Mr.. and Mrs De Haven
are, as always, delightful with
keen appreciation of comedy values.
They extract every ounce of fun from
each situation and build up swiftly to
the climax.
A Pathe News reel IS the other
number on the program for today
and Monday.

The story tells of the adventures
Of a young society girl who elopes

The embarrassment of her position
forces her to assume the pseudo role

barrassment is soon magnified when

5000 actors, in addition to the popu-
lation of 5000 inhabitants OF the town
in which many Of the scenes were
made.
There are 1905 scenes in the pro-
duction. Eighty interior sets were
built complete and several hundred
magnificent exterior locations were
used in the filming of this enter
prise.
There are over 100 animals in the
production, including dogs horses,
elephants. Camels, geese and hens.
Over 100000 feet of film were ex-
posed in the original filming total
Of about II miles. The great fire
scene, said to be without question the
most spectacular scene of this nature
ever flashed on the screen. was made
possible through the building of a
huge concrete tank 500x2000 feet, into
which We're pumped 5000 gallons of
oil, this lighted. and the resulting
fire burning over a period of 10 days
The tank was built at cost of
$4,000, while the oil consumed rep
resented a value of $4,000. In the
monster pageant scene there were
used over 10000 toy balloons. Two
tons Of confetti were used in this
scene alone. while 10 miles of bunt-
ing were required for the decorations.
Over 800 mechanics were constantly
at work on the production, which
likewise required the services of over
100 clerical men. Six camera men
were necessary to shoot" the pic
ture. The entire town of Whittier
Cal, was turned over TO the company
at which place many of the scenes
were made.
So it will be seen that THE Son
OF Wallingford" is a most pretentious
feature, and the fact that the Strand
has been able TO book it but for three
days prompts the urge that the at
tendance be made, wherever possible,
during the matinees.

Fathers and Sons

A FATHER pleads guilty to
N manslaughter and declares
IA that it was not his son who
did the killing, as the victims
wife had declared.
This points to that parental love
familiar to us ala love that,
especially in the mother, perhaps,
is the strongest of all love. 1t is
allowable to speculate on its cause.
A usual explanation is that Nature,
or Natures God, has implanted
that strongest of all feelings in the
human heart in order to assure the
proper care Of the young and thus
preserve the race.
Another possible explanation is
that in some strong, unconscious
way there is a real, substantial
bond between parent and child, and
that the parent recognizes the child
as the better and more vital part
of himself. Certainly thought of
harm to the child creates in the
parent far greater fear and pan
than thought of harm to himself.
Something perhaps more himself
than himself is threatened-hi
super-self, his great possible future
self, the self of the succeeding
generations.
The cause Of love is shrouded in
mystery. That it exists is a suffi-
cient reason for living. Perhaps it
has no cause, because it may be the
cause of everything, of all life.

More of Reed

ENATOR JAMES A. REED ap-
pears to have won the Demo-
~ cratic nomination for Sena-
tor from Missouri.
This spells, first of all, a per-
sonal victory for one of the ablest
men in Americas public life. To
gather an unprejudiced estimate
of the national value of this man
from Missouri, recall what Senator
Mccormick of Illinois, though he
is chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Senatorial Committee, said
about Reed on the Senate floor last
week:
I should count myself a poor
American if I did not find occa-
sion to say that If his opponents
today hold that his usefulness
as Senator is gone, there was a
time when in his judgment, as in
mine, the sovereignty and the
liberties of the Republic were i'm
periled, and James A. Reed
showed himself an indomitable
American, a man Of Incompatible
courage.
I should hold myself ungener-
Gus and unappreciative Of his
great services If I had not sought
and found an opportunity to bear
witness to the courage, self-sac-
rifice and devotion with which
James A. Reed served his coun.
try in an hour Of danger.
The danger to which Mccormick
refers is not yet over. The effort
to drag America into alliances and
pacts which prevent our traditional
freedom Of Judgment and action in
international affairs is still likely
to be periodically made, whenever
British propaganda can win a re-
sponse from impractical idealists in
our public life.
Senator Reed can be trusted to
champion always an Americanism
that is at once traditional and for.
