Another Charlie Chan Picture.

Who else could portray Charlie Chan,
If not Warner GLAND?
In all the detective tales of Earl
Derr Biggers, the author who first
brought Charlie Chan to life, there Is
no coincidence so strange as the
similarity between his famed fictional
Chinese detective, and the Swedish
actor who brings him to life on the
screen.
GLAND, himself, is big man with the
same tendency to corpulence that Chan
is supposed to have possessed. the same
straight black hair. All he does to put
himself in character is to comb his
mustache down, his eyebrows up, and
he is Charlie Chan brought to life.
For the ninth time in Chan's varie-
gated motion picture career, GLAND
brings him to the screen in Charlie
Chan in Shanghai" which comes to the
Kootenai theatre this week In the new
picture Chan returns to his native
China to do battle with a band of
desperate opium smugglers.

Little Women Again
Showing at Capitol

In reviewing Louisa M. Alcott's ia
nous novel Little Women" which is
showing at the Capitol Theatre today
and Wednesday, Photoplay magazine
prints the following:
Little Women" is certainly among
the sweetest. most lovable, and
most exquisitely done pictures in
years. The Lousia M. Alcott classic
story actually has been improved by
its superbly beautiful screen transla-
lation, because the rich character and
depth possessed by the story have
been freed from the somewhat sac
charine sentimentality which overlaid
them in the book.
Certainly Little Women repre-
sents sheer genius in its human, in
telligent direction by George Cukor
and in its artistic capture Of tri-
umphs for Katherine Hepburn, who
rs 10 rises to . greatness scarcely
rivaled by any other actress In Holly
wood; for Frances Dee. Joan Bennett
and Jean Parker. who give splendid
performances as JOS sisters: for Paul
Lukas, Spring Byington. Douglas
Montgomery. Edna May Oliver, Henry
