pOrtunity for the display of the
vivid acting, fiery, almost prinai-

famed.
Theodore Kosloff is also cast in a
Tartar role and to this his strong
personality, artistic perceptions and
dramatic force lend themselves per
fectly.
Charles de Roche is excellently
cast as gypsy chieftain. His SPLEEN

his immense acting, all come into
play in this part. Tully Marshall is
seen as village money lender. Fred

characteristic beauty, charm and
grace, as we'll as her ability to act,
The story of "The Law of the

to marry him and his manly quail
ties soon prompt her to love him.
When her husband is captured by
her countrymen, she goes to his res

chicken- business, have just receiv-

will be very materially increased
by the tine the hatchery is ready
for business.

WALLACE REID HEADS RYI lander PROGRAM
BRET HARTE STORY
RYLANDER TUESDAY
"Salony Jane," Sweet, Droll and
Human, Is Paramount
Picture

Breathing the same spirit which
prompted Bret Harte to write his
famous stories of the West, the
Paramount picture, "Salomy Jane"
which will be SHOWN at the Rylan-
der Tuesday, throbs with the wild
romance of the picturesque days of
40. 1t is declared to be a superb
picture and an epic of early civili-
cation in California.
In this story history is brought
to life. The lawless pioneers of the
west who poured through Boulder
Greek canyon in Northern Califor-
MIA in the late forties live again
ON the screen. It is a story OF the
primitive love of the westerner,
mingled with his craving for ven
geance and his crude sense of JUS
tice. The picture was made on the
spot where Bret Harte gained in
spiration for his story by the same
name. 1t was adapted by Waldo
mar Young.
The tale opens with a stagecoach
robbery, and Red Pete the LATEST
man in the settlement, is one of
the two robbers. Red Pete's little
daughter accidentally finds a brace
let taken by her father from one
of the passengers in the stage. She
gives it to Salomy Jane, daughter
of Madison Clay. To clear her
father Salomy is forced to tell the
truth, and red Pete is seized by the
Vigllantes, an organization of set,
tiers formed to keep peace.
A stranger in the village that
day is charged with having been
Red Pete's partner in crime. and
the two are about to be led away
to be hanged. Salomy Jane, in a
whimsical mood, kisses the stranger
goodbye. Red Pete is hanged and
the stranger escapes. Meanwhile
Madison Clay is carrying on a
bloody feud with /Larabee, a
rough pioneer. Larabee mistakes
the escaping stranger for Clay,
and in the ensuing fight Larabee is
killed. Dying, he confesses that
Baldwin, now dead, was the other
man in the hold up. Thus S-lomy
and her stranger sweetheart find
happiness.
Included in the cast are Jacque-
line Logan, George Fawcett and
Maurice Flynn, the featured play
ers. Miss Logan plays the name
part, while Maurice Flynn takes the
role of Nthe stranger. Mr.. Fawcett
is seen as Yuba Bill, the stage
coach driver. The picture is quite
worth while.
In addition to "Salomy Jane"
the Rylander's program for Tuesday
includes Stan Laurel comedy 1.-THE
Handy Man"

ture of the winsome little star is
filled with nerve and action, quail
ties which stress her abilities, and
her abilities are many and varied.
She is said, she is frolicsome; she is
depressed and lighthearted but
chiefly she's lighthearted and all
these-emotions she interprets with
naturalness.
Miss Dana plays the role of a
small town girl who is snubbed be-
cause she has no money, Newboro
is the kind of town that does not
provide an echo of approval for
anything that can't make noise
like the old metallic eagle. But
Martha, in her resentment, vows
that she'll make noise in New
boro, alright, alright.
Included in the cast with Miss
Dana are David Butler Eva Novak,

WALLACE REID IN
HIS LAST PICTURE
''Thitty Days" Brings Star in
Photoplay Never Before
Shown in Americas

Americas motion picture fans
will have the opportunity of see
ing Wallace Reid for the last time
when Thirty Days is shown at
the Rlander Theatre next Thursday
and, Friday. This was the last pic
ture made before the untimely
death of one of the screens most
popular stars, and has never before
been shown in Americas.
Pretty girls, plenty of them, are
announced as a pulchritudinous and
necessary feature of Thirty Days"
adapted from the stage farce of the
same name.
Mr.. Reds attraction for women
forms the motivating force of the
cOmdey. 1t starts fires of jealousy
in the heart of member of the
Italian Camorra and it forces
Reid to immune himself in Jail vol
unfairly to escape the murderous
vengeance of this expert with the
stiletto.
Naturally, with girls with as an
important dramatic force = girls
are plentiful in the picture. Wanda
Hawley plays the main feminine
lead with Carmen Phillips as the
charming and flirtatiops Italian
wife. But i'll addition to them there
are a score fothers, tall ones,
plump ones, little ones, big ones,
all DESTROYS of fixing the Reidian
tie or smuggling up just a tiny bit.
AS an excellent foil to the beau
tiful women, however, are the char
actress of Polenta, played by Her
schell Mayall and the Prison Ward
en- by Kalla Pasha. These players
are said to be completely villianous,
the villiany of Kalla Pasha being
particularly funny because of the
Injuries he later showers on Reid
when the hero finds that Mr. Ward
en- has been about $4,000 careless
in his accounts. Then bare walls
and a board bed are replaced by
feather mattresses, breakfasts in
bed, personal valet and velour cur-
tains over the bar.
He's a de luxe prisoner indeed,
in Reid, but he loses his relish for
the de luxe when he finds that the
murderous Polenta is confined in
the same prison! It's said to be
particularly rollicking comedy,
which affords excellent opportuni-
ties to amuse and entertain.

 Will B. Johnstone. the cartoonist, wrote the book and lyrics The lines are laugh getters from start to fin lsh. Will K. Anderson wrote the music, and it is quite the best he has done, while the whole has been pro- huttu bS JostHll Ni tIdileS.

 And now that Hollywood has re- covered from the 24-hour brainstorm caused by the spectacular jilting of Chaplin by Pola Negri and the equal ly spectacular reconciliation of the famous pair, the motives of the "big producers in signing Splayers right and left has been divulged.

 In any event, "a producef' divulges the fact that the big companies arc signing stars. near stars character actors and directors right and left solely with the hope of cripplinG the independents. And these long time" contracts will not prove very expen- sive in the end.
 The plan is to sign up everyone who shows any sign of promise. The contracts run from three to i've years in mo st cases. and they do not leave the actor or director a single loop hole of escape. If he or she makes good he or she will have to serve out the terms written into the bond.
 But-and this is impC rtant-all of the new contracts permit the pro- ducers to cancel almost at will at the expiration of six months or one year. There is morality clause "health clause" and a satisfaction clause" in every contract. This per mits the big producers to give actors and directors a thorough tryout. 1T the people employed rader the con tracts prove to be capable or popu- lar. they are to be retained. If their work is neither efficient nor strik- ing, they can be released at the end of six months or one year.
 Under this plan the big producers htpe to obtain a monopoly on the most promising actors and direc- tors and to leave to the independents merely those whom they have re- jected. It is pretty scheme and would work perfectly except for the fact that new favorites are always coming up and for the addltlonai fact that many of the experienced people refuse to slen lheSe ohS contracts, but prefer to take their chances at free-lance work with the growing number of independent con- eerns here, most of which seem to be prospering.

Marshall Neilan's big production will be seen at the Trianon theatre next week. This is "The Strangers Banquet" from tho novel by Dom Byrnc, which MT. Neilan purchased several years ago. but which he found himself in a position to film only since his recent alliance with the Goldwyn company, needing for it's production all the technical and me- chanical facilities that the great Goldwyn studios could supply. It has proved to be Neilans most am- bitous effort thus far.
 The picture is a colorful story of a girls valent struggle to manipu late wisely the fortune left by her father and to carry on his lifetimes work.
 Probably no more famous aggre gation of screen talent has ever been gathered together for a single pie ture than was engaged for this one.
