plies love interest, mother love appeal,
comedy relief and pathos, but above
all, an abundance of smoothly rum
ming action.
With its locale in a small southern
town, zone Clear Call" opens with a
view of DR.. Alan Hamilton, noted
surgeon, who finds himself Influenced
by the gentle appeal of an unknown
woman who has been mysterious pa
tient at the local hospital. The discov-
cry that places a seemingly insur-
mOuntable bond between them starts
him on the road to degeneration. At
the same time, the man to whom he
had vowed friendship, is grief strick-
en- because he has lost track of the
woman who had been his sole inspir-
alton. In both instances the woman in
the case is identical.
From this unusual triangle the
story swerves into swift running chan
nels of suspense and thrills with a cli-
max that required a small army to
depict. Recalling the palmiest days of
the southern organization, Ku Klux
Klansmen charge up the streets of the
small town. Henry B. Walthall, Mil
ton Sills and Claire Windsor are the
principals of the all-star cast.

Tribute by Governor
Speaking of General Corbit's death,
former Governor Charles R. Miller
said: 1T is with the deepest regret
that have learned of General Corbit's
death. Association with him was al
ways a pleasure and an inspiration.
He was broad minded, most reliable
and thorough. He was of the highest
type of citizenship and throughout
his career has rendered splendid ser
vice to his native State.
His kindly interest in men and af-
fairs, his dependability and the quail
ties of friendship which he possessed
endeared him to all who knew him.
His passing will be widely regretted.

PETER B. KYNE PAYS
A HIGH COMPLIMENT
TO HELENE CHADWICK
Authors Cheers for Actress Work
Accumulated Until He Had to
Pay Her a Debt of Praise

What's wrong with most picture ac-
tors? Peter B. Kyne, famous author
says it is their inability to live the
parts which they play. Because Hell
enc Chadwick, featured Goldwyn play
er, can do this, and did it in Goldwyn
production of his photoplay, Brothers
Under the Skin," coming to the Nixon
Theatre on Thursday for two days, Mr..
Kyne pays her a high compliment in
the following eloquent letter:
81 have spent the past week helping
Mr.. Block to title the motion picture
production of my story Brothers I'm
der the Skin
"In the course of this task, it has
been necessary for me to view the pic
ture several times, and each time that
I have seen it I have cleaned addition
al satisfaction and delight from your
portrayal of Millie, the shipping
clerks wife. My cheers have accumu-
lated to the point where an outlet is
necessary, and acting on the principle
that just praise is a debt and should
be paid, I want to tell you that in no
picture in which you have played pre-
viously have you done better work
than in Brothers Under the Skin You
had a good fat part, and I expected
you to make the most of it, but you
have done even better with it than an
exacting director had any right to
expect.
"All too frequently, screen artists
move through their parts like marion
cites. They do not vitalize their roles.
They do not seem to possess the abil-
ity to live the character they are por-
traying, and in Brothers Under the
Skin you have done exactly this.
think your splendid work will go a
long way toward affording this picture
a kindly reception from the public;
and this opinion of your work is not
meant to detract in the slightest from
the very excellent work of the other
artists in the cast.
81 have just completed a story which
hope to see in the motion pictures
some day soon and I assure you that
when the story is placed, am going
% do my utmost to convince the pro-
lucer that he needs you in the leading
eminine role"
