THE WRGINIAN' is
XMAS. ATTRACTION
Perturbation of Famous Play All
Rylander Tuesday And
Wednesday

In the back of everyone's mind
fingers the memories of mighty
deeds and throbbing loves ~ the
things that make up great books
and plays. Such a story is "Fne
Virginian," the Christmas attrac-
ton at the Rylander Under the
spell of color, action and setting
such as only the moving picture
makes possible, one literally lives
the story of Trampas, with Molly,
Steve and the Virginian, the great
est western character ever given to
literature.
Kenneth Harlan heads the cast,
which includes such noted actors as
Florence Vidor, Russell Simpson,
Pat O'Malley and Raymond Hat
ton
When it was first announced that
THE Virginian" would be produced
on the screen, people were dubious
about it. So many great stories,
so many classic masterpieces have
been butchered and ruined by film
ing that those who have loved Ow-
en- Wister's great story feared that
the picture might not do it justice.
But critics who have seen it de-
clare that the screen version is bet
ter than the book, which may seem
a startling statement when it is
realized that THE Virginian" has
been for twenty years the supreme
masterpiece of the West. The stu
atoms, which in cold type have thrill
ed millions are declared to be more
than realized in the picture.
Against most magnificent natural
backgrounds, this mighty drama is
enacted by cast so good that the
story might have been written for
them.
Theodore Roosevelt, who was a
great friend of Owen Wister. spoke
in the highest terms of the book,
endorsing it as a vivid and true pic
ture Of the West. 1t is unfortu-
nate that he could not have lived
to see the picture, for he would
most certainly have found it a liv-
l4g' breathing INSTALLATION of the
sFery that he loved so well.
The Virginian" will be shown at
tne Rylander next Tuesday and
wednesday with "Brilliantino the
Bull Fighter a comedy as the add
led attraction.
