Thursday Only-Thomas Meighan
in "The Leading Citizen"
Friday and Saturday-Tom Mix in
his first Super Special Production,
Tom, as the hero of "Soft Boiled" has
undertaken to enter the actual comedy
field for the first time in his varied
career. Tom Mix, the stern visaged
westerner, hard-fsted, hard-riding,
abandons all this for horn-rimmed
spectacles, checkered suit and job
as shoe clerk. Unable to fit a dainty
pair of slippers on a tiny, silk-cOver-
ed foot, he recollects that he always
got a shoe on a horse by hammering
it. But his method isn't so good in this
case. With his eyes on ankles and his
mind decidedly not on his work, he
uncOnsciously ties the shoe of his chic
customer to that of an angular, cold
eyed woman in the adjoining seat. The
outcome is neither graceful nor happy
for Tom Mix, but it sets the audience
in an uproar: Erstwhile wrangler of
steers, Mix finds himself fondling a
small lace handkerchief, inhaling ever
and anon of its Intoxicating perfume.
That's not so bad, until he discovers
that he has an audience consisting of
hard-boiled, unsentimental punchers.
Then it's not so good. But the audi
ence enjoys it. Aching to fight doz-
en- times, but forced to control his
temper or lose an inheritance, he re-
fuses to speak to offenders, but hands
them notes, begging that they meet
him at a stipulated time after he ha;
controlled himself for the required
thirty days. Through it all, Mix prove!
that consciously or not, he is a natura
comedian. His famous friend and pal
Tony, the wonder horse, has a wond
erful part.
Monday Only-Directing a pictur
by radio was the innovation introduc
ed into filmdom by Emmett Flynn
when he made "In the Palace of TIL
King" a spectacle of Spain in the six
teenth century. A radio voice-ampl
fer was installed on the huge palac
set constructed at the Goldwyn studio
!. for the picture, and was used to carr
the instruction of the director to tn
thousands of actors used in the scene
Tuesday Only-Agnes Ayers in g.
Daughter of Luxury"

At the New Dover Opera House

To-day and Thursday-"Anna Chris
tie" is one of the most poignant of
human documents, telling one of the
most appealing love stories ever writ
ten. There is not a conventional sit
uation in the entire production; not a
single stock-wOrn character. Blanche
Sweet, George Marion and William
Russell are the three featured players
who worked under the direction of
John Griffith Wray. Their work is
declared by critics to equal that of the
stage cast of which Marion was one.
Friday and Saturday-"My Boy
One Of the reasons Jackie Coogan
likes to act in front of the movie
camera is the fact that he can wear
the disreputable costume which has
made his little figure a famous one to
millions of motion picture theatre-go-
ers. He loves the ragged sweater,
the torn cap and the baggy overalls,
and he is never so happy as when he
is wearing them.
Monday and Tuesday-The manage
ment had curiosity as to the expert
ences actors went through while MAX
ing a motion picture. So he wrote to
the principals in "Name the Mani!
The manager says the replies have
convinced him that playing in pic
lures" is merely a figure of speech
the playing" is all "work" Here are
some of the answers: From Victor
Seastrom, the director: "After work
ing from nine o'clock until eleven, one
evening, trying to lower a boat from
ship" in which Mae Busch and Con-
rad Nagel were sitting, we finally
succeeded only to find that the boat
leaked like a seive. Then ensued q
scurry for another boat. We did not
get one until the next evening anC
then had a dickens of a time teach
ing the two oarsmen to row." From
Mae Busch, the feminine lead: "Tht
only way l could be sopping wet fol
scene was to get under a hose which
Mr.. Seastrom held for me. | stayed
wet for two days. Outside of that
was not discomforted"
