THOMAS MEIGHAN'S "NE'ER-
AT RYLANDER.

Thomas Meighan in his new Para
mount picture, ''The Ne'er-Do-
Well" at the Rylander theater on
Thursday and Friday, has a new
kind of role which is meeting with
great favor. He is a rich mans
son, down and out, socially, finan-
cially-hopelessly; then up and ov-
er the top to success, respectable
ty and happiness.
Everybody said "The Bachelor
Daddy" and "Back Home" and
Broke" couldn't be beaC-0uc crit
les who have seen "The Ne'er-Do-
Well" claim it turns the trick neat
ly, decisively, and say it is Meg
hans picture.
THE Ne'er-Do- Well'' is a pictur-
ization of Rex Beach's greatest
story and in addition to Thomas
Meighan the cast includes winsome
Lial Lee.
Thomas Meighan. in the story, is
seen as a shiftless man of wealth
who is disowned by his father after
a certain escapade in New York
which results in the young man be-
ing shanghaied on board steamship
bound for Panama, where he is left
penniless and thrown upon his own
meagre resources. Here he meets
Chiquita, a beautiful Spanish girl
