LAURETTE TAYLOR STARS
IN epEG o. NY HEART,,

The work Of bringing the master
pieces Of the stage within reach of
every home, into communities never
reached by stage performances, has
another striking contribution in the
translation to the world of the screen
Of the famous stage play, Peg O. My
Heart" in which Laurette Taylor
made her memorable characteriza-
ton of Peg which has become
worldwide in fame
"Peg O. My Heart" now a Metro
picture, with Laurette Taylor appear
ing in her famous role, comes to the
Rylander theater for TWO days be-
ginning Wednesday, This fascinat-
ing tale Of J. Hartley Manners con-
ception, with Ireland and England
as the background, and the elfin
ways and humors and pathos Of the
motherless little girl providing the
main theme, has had G,608 stage
performance in the United States.
Laurette Taylor created the role and
has been identified with it ever since,
even being known as Peg Taylor.
It's a tale Of an Irish father and
an English mother, of the Chichesters
and Kingsworths, and Of Sir Gerald
Adair, Pegs legal guardian; and OF

Universal-Jewel, adapted by Luclea
Hubbard from the famous old drama
by Hal Reid, and it deserves ard Is
attaining the same great national
success that distinguished its stage
predecessor.
The cast is absolutely perfect and
much skill has been shown by DL-
rector King Baggett, also an eZcep-
tional taste in values.
The story is built up without I'M
due delay and contains a quality
which leaves one with a wholesome
respect for old-fashioned righg liz
ing people The drama may be said
to rest upon four pillars as clearly
symbolical as those of Lne old Greek
tragedies
The father, strength; the mother,
faith; the son, sacrifice; and the son s
wife, treachery and ultimate atone
ment.
Into the family life of an austere
folk Of an Ozark Mountain commun-
ity comes a mountain woman OF
doubtful history, determined to mar

herit his rich coal lands. From the
time she leaves her confederate, sery-

Of her child, she adapts herself to
their way Of living, so much so, that
even the old father who instlnctVeIy

matter of fact, she had halfway re

the Mississippi, which represented
that famous boat Of other days, when
the darkies made the welkin ring
with their plantation songs Of that
period.
Another pretty scene of the pres

whilst a glimpse into the future was
a trip to the planet Mars depicting
a pretty fanciful picture Of what IS
to he seen on that far away globe.
Carl Cameron's "SaXoland Five
was the musical treat Of the evening.
The dancing and merry-making OF
the black-faced artists, their quips
and their humor were Of course fea-
