A SERMON IN FILM.

The disposition to be more crti-
cal Of the movies ias been rather
marked within the past year or
more. TO many 1t has seemed, that
the standards in picture making have
not been raised high enough. The
tendency of some producers to ex-
plot "sin, sex and slush' has alarm
ed many interested and Is safeguard
ing public moralss
For this reason it is especially
appropriate, it seems to me, to com
mend those pictures which do reach
high standard and which are posi-
lively helpful, along with being en-
tertaning. Mere condemnation of
the bad, without commentator of
the good is ineffective and unfair
criticism.
With this thought in mind, | am
glad of an opportunity to express
feeling toward the wonderful picture
THE Old Nest" which picture | am
offering at the Sugg theatre for a
run of three days beginning Mon
day.
Its producers do not claim for 1t

HOW TO BE HAPPY

Does wealth mea nhappiness? This
question Is answered In Thomas
Meighan's new Paramount picture,
"a Prince There Was" from the
George M. Cohan success, which
will be seen at the Rialto theatre
next Monday and Tuesday. In this
picture the star plays the role of a
wealthy but unhappy young man who
believes intoxication to be the only
balm for his fretfulness. But then
he falls in love, finds a motive in
life, plays the prince and finds real
contentment, after story that Is
rich in romance, dramatic flavor
and human emotion. Tom Forman
directed the production, the story Of
which was adapted by Waldemar
Young. Mildred Harris, Charlotte
Jackson, Nigel Barrie, Sylvia Ashton
and others are in the cast.

WHO is MONEY KING
PORTRAYED IN PICTURE

When Samuel Merwin and Charles
Maigne collaborated in writing the
script of Hush Money the latest
Alice Brady picture which is coming
to the Rialto theatre next Wednes'
day, they carefully followed the ca
reer and character Of an American
financial czar and drawing the char.
acter of Alexander Murray, the faith
er of the heroine.
The man represented as Murray is
one of the masters of Wall Street :,
he holds the destinies Of hundred
great commercial enterprises in the
hollow of his hand; he is a patron
OF art, music and even Of religion,
though his heart is as hard as the
gold which he has amassed.
He magnificently gives three mil
lion dollars towards the erection OF
great cathedral tower, not because
he is interested in religion but be
cause he likes to be identified with
all great artistic movements, and
the cathedral promises to be a very
artistic one indeed, an architectural
triumph worthy of his patronage and
support.
Who is the man meant by tho
authors of this play? The lines
drawn by the writer's are clean cut
and clear. Their man lives. And
George Fawcett, veteran artist OF
the stage and screen, has never
given a finer character delineation
than in his portrayal of this role
Who is the Man? Will the public
recognize him?
"Hush Money" offers Miss Brady
one of the finest roles she has had
in some time. AS the daughter
who refuses to let her father pay
hush money to buy silence for an
unfortunate affair in which she had
a part. Miss Brady does exceptional
ly fine work.

in the actor who has the role OF
Pertruchio the means of breaking

MAQr ALDEN in
THE OLD NEST


When THE Old Nest" comes "a
the Sugg theatre. ON Monday. the
people OF chickasha will have q
chance to sec picture that has
been hailed by critics and reviewers
as the most satisfying all.Amefican
picture that has yet been produced.
The theme. that Of mother who
sees her six children leave her. one
by one. is common to American
families. All the poighancy OF feel.
ing that these leaye-takings arouse
in real life have been caught ON the
screen.
Rupert Hughes is the author OF
this unusual tale of mother love.
He has sought to present cross
section of a univeral theme as ap-
piled to an American family. All
the joys and sorrows connected with
raising a family have been drama
tized. Each OF the children grow
to manhood or womanhood with his
own individual interests. then leaves
the old nest to follow the call OF
his desires. Only their mother is
left in her loneliness and her memo
ries. But, as in every American
family. the young remember the old
nest and return to ii.
The picture was produced by Cold
wyn and was directed by Reginald
Barker. Mary Alden plays the old
mother, and her performance has
been said to be a masterpiece Of
screen acting.

As the result OF trouble be-
tween the families OF James H. Nc
Gowan, 1902 Van Buren, street. and
John A Tenfer, Jr.. 1904 Van Buren,
street. Mr.. MCGOWAN is said to have
erected a high fence between the
properties. and does not propose to
have any further trouble. Com
plant has been made TO Building
Inspector Preston by the Tenfers
who say the fence blocks their view.
Although believing he has no juris-
diction in the matter, Mr.. Preston
announced that he would refer the
matter TO the City Solicitor for an
opinion.
The trouble is over the action OF
the McGowan's small boy. years
old. who has been throwing his
baseballs across the dividing line
OF the back yards and then running
after II TO the detriment OF the
Tenfer garden. so it is claimed.
The complainants admitted the
height of the fence was well with
in the limit OF the law, which per-
mits the erection OF a fence ten
feet high. The building inspector
accordingly refused TO take any
action against the erection OF the
structure, which is about eight feet
high.
The new fence effeetuslly blocks
on the MCGOWAN property from
the Tenfer property. The McGowsns
say It is on their own prop |
erty. and that they have a right to |
erect il. The McGowans are salts

hitting the matter Of the blocking

BY BILLY EVANS,

Who is the smartest pitcher in
the American league?
There are a lot OF pitchers in
both the major leagues who use
their head as well as their arm.
Recently I asked Nick Altrock, a
great pitcher in his day, which
pitcher worked most intelligently
in the American league.
/ figured that query would make
Nick do some tall thinking, but al
most before 1 had finished he an
swered:
Sam Jones is the wisest guy in
the American league"
For a moment Nick had me on
the ropes. After weighing the Ques-
ton l came to the conclusion that
Nick knows something besides
Glowing.
Sam Jones is one of the best
pitchers the game has ever pro-
duced. He has everything, including
a good head There is a reason for
every ball he pitches. Sam Jones
is something besides a mere throw
er.
Jones has progressed slowly.
His rise has been so gradual that
it has escaped lot of the publicity
a fellow gets who has greatness
thrust on him over night
Jones is at the top of his game
right now He should be tough
fellow to beat this season with the

Points to Array of

regular berths on our club this
spring"
We have a fine array of talent

Heves he has solved the problem
for the leftfield garden, while the
centerfield position seems almost
sure to go to Arnold STATE, who
comes from Los Angeles.
With these positions believed to
be practically decided, it looks like
a hard fight for the other outfield
position with seven candidates in
the field. Max F1ack, who has held
the regular berth since the merg-

clubs, will be given plenty of COM

Ia recruit infielder and a lot OF
money.
The trade was the laugh of the
baseball world as far as talent was
concerned. One of the things that
ton secure Sam Jones as one of the
players. Jones was than an un-
known youngster Most of the crit
les were surprised over Carrigan's
insistence on Jones.
Early in the spring I mentioned
this fact to Carrigan. He merely
laughed and replied:
Jones Has Made Good.
Zones should be a great pitcher
He has a fine delivery and a good
curve ball. When he knows how to
pitch, and he should soon learn as
he is bright fellow, he is going to
win a lot of ball games. Some day
he is liable to be as valuable as
Speaker"
Bill Carrigan certainly was a
wise guy. Jones has fulfilled his
prophecy and then some
1t was interesting for me to read
an interview that Carl Mays, one
of the games greatest pitchers,
gave on the art of fooling the bat
ter. Here is the compliment Mays
paid Jones:
Sam Jones is as good a pitcher
as there is in baseball. He has
nerve, brains and control. Those
things make great pitcher. Math-
ewson was great because he had all
