THEATRES
"In the Days of Buffalo Bill"

The extensive growth of the mo-
ton picture business in advance OF
all other American industries is
proven beyond any doubt in the
Universal chapter play. THE
Days of Buffalo Bill" which comes
at the Majestic theatre on Thursday.
Months were spent in extensive
research in securing accurate data
and equipment for each of the eigh-
teen chapters. AS Is true of all
great periods of history historians
differ widely in their accounts of
famous events and it was difficult
in preparing the script for produc-
ton to know exactly which accounts
to chose. Robert Dillon, who wrote
the story and continuity from MIS-
tory, perused every text book on
history in the library and with the
assistance of professional research
workers succeeded in getting in his
script the real events as they actu-
ally happened.
The next step was choosing the
PLAYERS to re-live the famous events
and the recording of their efforts by
the camera, Each character was
selected with the strictest attention
to his or her physical likeness TO
the parsonage he or she was to rep
resent. Incidentally Edward Laem-
NILE, the director, was fortunate In
securing the services of certain &C

Silver Wings Scores at Dittnas

Last night at the Ditmas theatre
the audience saw one of the Creates
photoplays of the year ushered into
this amusement palace. 1t was
silver Wings" a William Fox Pre-
sentation, featuring Mary Carr. the
famous mother of "Over the Hill"
In social precept the picture Is
years ahead of the times. although
the times are moving forward in
this direction at a dizzy rate of
speed. From the analytical and
sincere people it ought to evoke
something illuminating. The plot
is simple. 1t concerns itself with a
spoiled boy and a doting mother, but
1t is a remorseless dissection of the
terrific consequences Of family fay-
oritism. 1t is primarily a story Of
mother love and maternal sacrifice
and of wrenching family ruin and
d~esolation. Translated into terms
of real life, this story is an epochal
revelation of human possibilities in
the home.
The utter sincerity OF the picture
cannot be questioned. 1t touches
human experience at every turn.
Perhaps there Is nothing more fired
and unalterable than mother love in
this wide world. In the mind Of this
reviewer, "Silver Wings" has done
the same thing in spiritual terms.
We see the family wrecked, the
mother desolated, the sons abandon
ed to wreckage, all the product of
good intentions. 1t is a tragedy
more poignant than death itself. All
this waste and wretchedness grows
out of emotions that have their
roots in this the greatest Of all loves
mother love. And the browning
wrench of the whole epic tragedy is
that the mother herself is the CEN
trail victim, although her path is
strewn with desolation.
When, finally, we view the reunit-
ing of the Webb family as the last
scene fades from our gaze. we a
safely say without fear of contradic-
ton that in "Silver Wings the man
agement Of the Ditmas theatre has
provided it's patrons with the best n
motion picture entertainment exhib-
tied in q long time.
