BILL HART In A
FILM THAT
SKIDS

+, Pistol shotsl The dying horse!
And tears! Z.
William s. Hart, hero of many
a Western photoplay in days gone
by, returns to Loew's Palace
Theater this week in his latest
production, Singer Jim McKee,"
But where is the two-gun man
who thrilled us in the past with
his trick shots and mad race over
the desert to rescue the beautiful
heroine? He has passed. and in
his stead is modern outlaw, to
whom is dealt modern justice, in
a modern West. The posse and
the moose were much more i'm
pressive in a Hart picture at least.
The first fifteen minutes or the
story are full of the stuff that
one expects in a Bill Hart story.
There are the two prospectors and
a baby girl, the stage coach rob-
berry, the hunt and the snoorYng
of the baby's father. Up to this
point, when Jim Mckee rides
away with the child. the scenery
in the high Sierras is beautiful
and the direction and acting grip
with their humanness. But fifteen
years later the iridescent bubble
bursts and the story resolves itself
into a rather morbid melodrama.
The girl has become woman.
but still Jim sings. His love for
her leads him into a robbery and
later, when falsely accused of hav-
ing murdered her father, he ia
sentenced to seven years. A
death-bed confession clears all,
and at the end we again sense a
touch of the Bill Hart atmos.
phere.
The star does several stunts.
such as a hundred.foot dive and
a plunge through a glass door.
but still he Is not the Hart that
we hoped to see.
Phyllis Haver heads a long cast
supporting the star and cries most
beautifully good share of the
time. Special mention should be
made of Baby Turner, who adds
so much to the first part of the
picture. 1t is q Paramount pro-
duction, directed by Clifford s.
Smith.
A Mack Sennett comedy, "The
Hollywood Kid" is bit out of
the ordinary for this brand. 1t
introduces several well known
comedians, a glimpse of Sennett
and some more kid actors. Funny,
too. Pathe News, Topics of the
Day and Gannons music complete
the programme. L. p,

SMART PROGRAM
ASSEMBLED AT
STRAND

Songs, eccentric and difficult
dances along with syncopation are
generously spread throughout the
vaudeville bill at the Strand this
week. The bill is consistently at.
tractive in it's comedy and clever
presentation of acts. Patsy Shelly
and Erny Holmgren with their
entertainers share honors with
Rome and Bolton for popularity
with the audience.
Howard Nichols in the "Ace Of
Hoops excites applause in his
Juggling of five, seven and ten
hoops, and in executing a combi-
nation speciality Of hoop juggling,
1igging and playing a mouth
organ all at the same time.
The Guiliani Trio present a
popular classical-jazz combination
in their song review. Such old
favorites as Swanee River and
the Toreador Song are harmo-
niously blended into a novel trio.
Mason and Cole produce much
amusement in tfN<ir humorous
comedy act. The personality Of
Fay Cole is engaging in it's bright
ness, and contagious in laugh
provoking. More dancing and
less dialogue would improve this
act, however.
Rome and Bolton, the Mutt and
Jeff of vaudeville, present the
long and the short of it. Their
slapstick comedy and clever jig
ging is well placed. The shortest
of "The Extremes" well earns
generous applause with a gro
tesque exhibition of panton1ime
dancing which paves the way for
a finale which proves to be a
"Wow."
Shelly, Holmgren and their
entertainers have an act colorful
I'm it's artistic presentation. The
dancing of Miss Shelly is excep-
tional as are her costumes. The
band is versatile and not only
plays but sings and dances. Mr..
Holmgren plays the violin with
much expression.
The picture, "Pois1 red Para
disc" presents story of love
and trickery centered in Monte
Carlo. Kenneth Harlan and Clara
Bow give fine performances with
josef Swickard and Carmel Mey-
ers in adequate support.
