Independent of the fact that "Listen To Me" carrjes an excellent cast supported by a youth. ful chorus that can dance and sing, an exquisite display of scenic splen. dor, marvelous novelties, gorgeous costumes, and an absorbing fan- tastic story beautifully unfurled, is the reality that its score of musical Rems is a theme of critical admira- tion.

Monday. "The Spoilers," the most famous and most exploited story by.. Rex Beach, has again been transferred to the screen, this time as a big super. feature, produced by Jesse D. Hamp- ton, directed by Lambert Hillyer The picture will be the attraction at the Allen theatre for three days, be. ginning Monday. "The Spoilers" fg the greatest story about the Klondike gold rush ever written, and one of the most widely read of novels, It establishea Mr. Beach's reputation as one of our most virile authors, and started the school of out-of-door writers who have been so popular in magazines and books in the past decade, a school in which no one has sSurpass- ed Mr. Beach. Then, too, "The Spoilers" ig a true picture of early Alaskan history. It's story of Alex- ander McNamara who attempted to jump the claims of men who discov- ered and worked the richest mine in the Klondike with the support of a corrupted court, is taken directly from life. It ys a true and wonder- fully dramatic presentation of one of the most picturesque epochs in our nate nal life, and an epoch whieh will never return. No more rugged picture of a sturdy people fighting against nature to wrest her treasures from her has been written. When Rex Beach's novel was first picturized, ten years ago by Colonel Selig, it was the most talked ahout and the biggest financial success but all have worshipped the score af etherial musical gems. Those who enjoy artistic grand- our in all its rapture can drink to their fil when "Listen To Me" with all its gorgeousness will be present. ed In this city. ---------------- Cheerfulness gives harmony to the soul and is a perpetual song without words, Tribulation wor patience hope. s patience, and Gnen that the films had ever known. But since that time, motion pictures have made gigantic strides forward In technique, in direction, in settings and acting, and this new screen ver. sion of "The Spoilers" is as far ahead of the original one as that production was ahead of the other features of that day. The cast of "The Spoilers" is as notable as is the production. It is headed by Milton Sills, one of the featured players, in the role of.
