most beloved old man of the screen.
For a long time questions have been
pouring into the studios where Theo-
dore Roberts has been employed as a
character man asking why he was
never given a starring role. These
questions were all answered when 1t
was decided to give him the role of
Joshua Whitcomb in the famous old
stage play and story, 1.-The Old Home
stead" Nothing ever suited him bet
ter and the thousands that have
laughed with and at him in the pic
lures that he has played in for years
will now have the chance of seeing
him in the main role of one of the
best pictures that has been made this
season.
Perhaps the most remarkable storm
scene ever pictured on the screen is
that which spreads terror in. and
practically destroys an entire village
erected for THE Old Homestead. -
Twenty powerful wind machines, aid
ed by a fire engine were employed in
this exceptionally realistic elemental
disturbance.
The storm that wrecks the town of
Ganzey is a humdinger. The village
was good sized one of forty or more
houses and all were erected for de-
struction by the hurricane and deluge.
Their roofs are blown off. their shut
tiers torn away, and their chimneys
fall. But the old homestead stands
like a rock-symbolic of the indie
structability of the greatest institu-
ton of civiliZation-the homei
The rain, during the storm scene,
was visible three-quarterS of a mile
back from the cameras. At differ
ent period, the set was covered with
snow and when it is remembered that
the village consists of about forty
houses and several streets, the magni-
tude of this will be realized.
Theodore Roberts is surrounded by
an excellent cast in 1.-The Old Home
stead" George Fawcett, T. Roy
Barnes. FRITZ Ridgway, Harrison
Ford, Kathleen O'Connor, James Ma
son and others make up the list that
is hard to surpass. 1.-The Old Home
stead is one picture that people who
never saw a picture before will go
miles to see, one. that people who
never cried before in their lives will
cry at, people who never laughed in
their lives will laugh at. It's one pic
ture for the whole family. 1t will be
shown at the Isis all week.

full gowns on the screen. "Slim
Shoulders will be on the Grand
screen four days starting with the
matinee Tuesday afternoon.
There is no need to introduce Mrs.
Castle to Topekans as a dancer or as
an actress. All know her as a fas-
cinating woman who has made a
name for herself thru her personality
and hard work. In '-Slim Shoulders
she has the support of a strong cast
of actors among whom are Rod La
ROGUE. Warren Cooke and Marie
Burke. The story is a strong one
written by Charles K. Harris, who is
nationally known as a song writer.
He is the author also of the song
''Slim Shoulders
All of the exterior scenes for "Slim
Shoulders" were made in and around
Palm Beach, Mrs. Castle and her
company spent nearly six weeks at
the famous winter resort making
these scenes and the result when cou-
pied with the marvellous gowns worn
by Mrs. Castle is something lavish in
the least
''SIim Shoulders is one of the fast
est moving society dramas ever writ
ten for the screen. From start to fin
ish there is not slow moment. 1t
is the story oe the society girl who
in desperate effort to save her IA
Their from ruin and disgrace, tries to
become a criminal but who is saved
thru the timely intervention of the
real hero. The picture comes to To-
peka at an opportune time and the
fact that since is release there haS
not been one adverse line of criticism
written about it. should be a recon-
mendation that all pay attention to-
But "Slim Shoulders and Mrs.
Castle are not all of the program.
There are three additional features,
each and every one of them worthy of
more than ordinary attention. The
first of these is the appearance for
the first time in Topeka of Miss Dor
othy Mingcr, ute soloist. Miss Min
Chatterer," arranged for the instru
ment she plays in the Grand orchestra
and which she scored her biggest hit
this past season touring the country
with the Cadmean Chatauqua circuit.
Special lighting and scenic effects
will introduce Miss Minger to her
audiences. She will play at each per-
Torrance.
Then there will be another edition
of THE Mirror another of those
Don't You Remember" SERIES the
first of which was shown at the Grand
theater several weeks ago, showing
the inauguration of President Will
liam Mckinley. This edition will show
the scenes incident to the earthquake
and fire in San Francisco ten years
ago. 1t will also show how the west
ern gateway of the United States has
recovered from that awful catas-
trophe.
The Pathe News Reel completes the
program. For the first three days of
the week the Democratic victory in
the Nall elections will be the chief item
of interest. other features will show
how the country celebrated Armistice
day and the mine disaster al Spangler,
Pa, where seventy miners lost their
lives.
