Flood waters which threatened
the existence of the big Devils
Gate" dam at Pasadena, California,
permitted some wonderful Shots
for the climax of "What A Wife
Learned" the Thomas H. Ince pro
duction Sunday Aug. 26 at the
Caughren theatre when two men are
swept over the top of the dam. Dur
ing heavy rains of the past year, wat
ers rose to the top of the dam and
swept over it for the first time in it's
history.
Work was proceeding on the
Ince production at the time, and
photographers were sent at once
to get shots for the picture. To
get the best views, the cameras had
to be set up at the foot of the
treacherous spillway in a bed of
poison ivy. The following day Di-
rector John Griffith Wray was taken
ill with such a serious case of pois-
oning that his life was in danger for
seven weeks.
A photoplay based on the play
which a few years ago was one of
the hits of Broadway is "Success,"
scheduled for presentation on Aug.
20, 80 at the Caughren Theatre, with
Brandon Tymon, the stage star, in the
role which he originally created in
the spoken play. The dramatic in
terest in the story and the excellence
of the case which interprets the vari-
Gus roles should make the presenta-
ton a distinct hit.
Success" is story of We theatre,
but unlike many of the type, this is
said to have been written by persons
familiar with the intimate details of
life behind the footlights. Its authors
have managed to capture the spirit
and atmosphere of the playhouse, and
the characters which they have in
troduced are all faithful, actual types.
n
Lariat, spurs, chaps and saddle.
They're all coming to the Caughren
Theatre Aug. 27, %.
And the star that will use them is
Tom Mix from William Fox's IA
nous fold. For action, aim and ac-
curacy "Just Tony" based on Max
Brands novel, "Alcatraz," will sur
pass much of his past work, and
that's saying a saddle-bag full.
This new vehicle for the stalwart,
stimulating star will prove entertain
ment of the highest order. For many
years it has been Mix's most arduous
endeavor to feature his sprightly
steed, "Tony," in filmplay, and Mr..
Fox has finally consented. So Tom
went about his performance in front
of a camera with an enthusiasm born
of an inspiration for love of the ami
NAL which has accompanied him
through much of his life and most
of his hazardous episodes on the
Western plateau.
Aside from it's stirring incidents
and absorbing detail, the story con-
tains an unusual scenic background
that adds charm to the narrative.
