Jim was poor. and he was not the

CENTRAL-"The Hero"

Plenty of excitement prevails at the
Central this week in Cashiers screen
adaptation of Gilbert Emerys play,
The Hero" and the last serial of
Fighting Blood" in which the ever
victorious 'tSix-Second Smith" meets
his fate in the twelfth round and
drops before the onslaught of Sailor
Slade.
THE Hero" concerns a veteran of
the Foreign Legion who. despite the
fact that he became very much be-
medaled for his bravery in the world
war, Is inclined to cast his reputa-
ton to the four winds. However,
after several thrilling incidents, in
which is included in remarkably
good fire scene. the offending hero"
is reclaimed from the evil of his ways

Anita Stewart as the snobbish daugh-
ter of millionaire. in love, for some
strange reason, with a young en-
gineer, a nobody" who is in her
fathers employ. The gradual mold
ing of her character into something
finer and better forms the main theme
of the story. while an interesting
supplementary one is furnished in
the conversion of her sissy little
brother willie" into Bill" a real
boy.
scenes of dazzling splendor in the
palatial residence Of the millionaire
are contrasted with vastly different
ones in the engineers home, for his
Dutch father has sought to reproduce
the atmosphere of the "old country"

f1ancee receives a terrible shock when
she visits the queer little home and
meets the dear little father" who

keeps a miscellaneous collection Of

bourgeois father.
She selects an extravagant and ex-
tensive trousseau. and sends out
hundreds of wedding invitations. but
none goes to the lonely little old man
who eagerly awaits the postman each
morning. only to be disappointed.
For the selfish bride remembers the
corncob pipe and fears the derision
OF her fashionable friends. AS the
eventful hour approaches. however,
she is overcome by remorse, and
dressed in her magnificent weddin G
gown she hurries to the humble cot

After the wedding the bride and
groom speed away in her snappy
little roadster. apparently to live
happily ever after. For. movie fash

people from entirely different walks

is left to guess that the snob finds
perfect bliss in tiny kitchenette,

Truly one of the notable screer
achievements of the year is Gold
wyn's perturbation of Sir Hal
Gaines most successful novel, THE
Christian" directed by Maurice
Tourneur, which Is the attraction at
the Ditmas theatre this week. The
author collaborated with Goldwyn in
making this screen version of his
novel-he aided in preparing the
continuity. helped Director Tour
neur in picking locations, and re-
vised and rewrote the titles. There
fore it is fair to judge that the film
meets his approval. It certainly
meets the approval of the picture
going public. for it is a thrilling,
emotional drama, built about a big
theme, most ably directed and SUI
perbly acted.
Mr.. Tourneur has the especial
ability OF so photographing a story
that it has great pictorial beauty
without any sacrifice of drama OF
human appeal. THE Christian Is
his most ambitious attempt SO far
and that he has succeeded was amp
ty proven last night by the breathless
attention with which the unfolding
of the story on the screen was re-
eeived.
The cast is composed of notable
film players, each of whom was skill
fully selected for his fitness for the
role entrusted to him. Richard
Dix, as John Storm. the Christian
Socialist who tries to live as he be-
lieved Christ would, il on earth. has
been for a year and more one of the
most delightful and interesting of
the young screen actors, but the
present portrayal puts him head and
above most of the leading
and proves him an actor of in
OF deepening resources and of
great variety. Mae Busch also ma
terially advances her standing as a
player by her skilfull handling of the
difficult role of Glory Quayle. Others
who do excellent work are Phyllis
Haver. Gareth Hughes, Malflon
Claude Gillingwater, Cyril
Joseph Bowling, Harry
and Beryl Mercer.

Thai a motion picture actor I'VE

strikingly illustrated recently in the
case OF Mare MacDermott, who has
a prominent role in The Spanish
Jade" a John S. Robertson picture
production for Paramount coming to
the Majestic theatre tomorrow. In
fact, a screen players life is one dog
goned thing after another.
In Europe, where the picture was
made, production had almost begun
when it was found that efforts to Sc
cure an actor to correctly interpret
the Spanish grandee in the story, had
been unsuccessful. Director Robert
son CHANGED to see an advance print
of Elsie Ferguson's picture Foot
lights" and he had looked at no
more than two reels before a solu-
ton of his problem presented itself.
An urgent cable to New York
reached Mr.. MacDermott just in time
TO allow of his hastily boarding the
first steamer out. The cable con-
tanned no idea of the style of part
which he would be called upon to
portray, and consequently. he was
obliged to travel with practically his
entire screen wardrobe and outfit.
Radio-telegrams on the way over
gave him a skeleton idea of his part
and allowed him to work up on the
temperament part of the role. Land
ing in England he was handed his
part, walked straight onto a South
bound steamer headed for Spain,
and two days later was ION location
