ruins of an old Coptic mission, was
the interesting experience of George
Melford's company during the film
ing of his new Paramount produc-
ton, Burning Sands" which comes
to the Caughren theatre next Sun
day and Monday.
However, instead of going to Cairo,
Egypt, where the original mission
moulders, the company went to Ok
nard, CAL, under the supervision of
Rudolph Bylek, technical director
Mr.. Bylek laid out his plans so that
the old mission, while appearing
ruinous enough for any archaeologist
was still substantial enough, and so
arranged that it could serve as liv-
ing quarters for the greater part of
the troupe.
The cast includes Wanda Hawley,
Milton Stills, Jacqueline Logan and
Robert Cain, who are featured, and
Winter Hall, Louise Dresser, L. F..
Oliver, AL Roscoe, Cecil Holland and
Joe Ray. The story is Dramatic
and every scene of the picture has a
thrill of its own.
Have you ever seen pearl divers at
work? Comparatively few persons
have. You may experience the next
best thing when you see the opera
tons of the pearl divers in "Ebb
Tide" George Melford's latest Para
mount production, which comes to
the Caughren Theatre Tuesday Nov.
20.
The scene of the operations is an
island in the South Seas, controlled
by the cruelest man in that part OF
the world. One may see the divers at
work gathering the pearls, many Of
which are shown in the picture, and
the possession of which involved not
only one but several tragedies.
aEbb Tide adapted from Robert
Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Os-
bourne's story, is gripping, thrilling
and fascinating picture. 1t runs the
gamut of human emotion, with the
play of the strong passions FREEDOM
mating. Assuring it as a really blg
\ and worth while picture, "Ebb Tide,
as one of the most impressive casts
screen history, featuring, as it does
pa Lee, James Kirkwood, Noah
ss.cy, George Fawcett, Robert Hat
~ {. and Jacqueline Logan.

in "a Daughter of Luxury" Agnes
Ayres new Paramount picture coming
to the Caughren Theatre next We'd
nesday and Thursday evenings. 1t is
to never believe you recognize gen.
tleman friend on the street by the set
or size or shape of his shoulders. II
YOU do, you are liable to get fooled
as Mary Fenton, the role played by
Miss Ayres, did Mary sees a man on
the street whose shoulders( he is back
to her) look familiar. She hurrles up
to him, glad to see anyone from her
home town, who may help her in her
plight, for she is hungry and 'lestl-
tute. She speaks his name joyfully
the man turns, and he proves
complete stranger to her. Frightfuily
embarrassed, Mary stammers an apol-
ogy and fees. The man follows her.
What happened the picture thrilling
ly shows. Tom Gallery is leading
man.
1t is not definitely known who
coined the phrase "There's one born
every minute" P. T. Barnum, it is
alleged, has given expression to this
thought in view of his experiences
with the guillibility of the public.
From the various get-rich-qulck
schemes which are constantly foisted
on the public, and the eagerness
which they display in exchanging
hard earned coin of the realm for
empty promises of great wealth, there
is perhaps some basis for this idea.
Nearly every day one reads IN the
paper of some smooth individual who
has utilized this desire for easy money
to enrich himself at the expense OF
someone else's toll and labor.
A demonstration of just how it is
done is portrayed in the Victor
Schertzinger production, dollar
Devils" which comes to the Caugh-
rem theatre Friday and Saturday eve
nings of Next week.
In this case, however, the willy pro-
moter inveigles an entire community
into giving him their money. His
methods are unique in that he uses
the "Main Street" of the town as a
market place for his wares. Just how
the "city slicker" proceeds to sell his
stock to the inhabitants of the little
village of Hemling right in the streets
of the town forms one of the interest
ing scenes in this drama of American
life.
