Foue C & B Steamers JUnct. 5500 Star Was Paid Fortune For Use of f His Shadow Suggesting ideasâ€"rather than perâ€" sons, faces or living entities; letting an audience imagine the story rather than flashing it on a screenâ€"this is the strange development in picture production that Lon Chaney exempliâ€" fies in his new Universal â€" spectacle, Startling in its audacity, the new production suggests the story always "The Phantom of the Opera," which comes Monday _ and â€" Tuesday, April 19th and 20th, to the Maple Leaf Theâ€" atre. a little girl of the New York slums, who battles her way through heavy odds to Jlove and happiness. And no picture of recent years has contained a climax that equals the murder trial scene in this production. It is an amazingly tense and spectacular epiâ€" sode with a surprise finish that will electrify the most blase pictureâ€"goer. ‘The story is a film adaptation from C. A. Robbins‘ work and was preparâ€" ed for the. sereen by Waldemar Young, former police reporter who is familiar wwith the life of the underâ€" world. No story of recent years has conâ€" tained more of poignant pathos and genuine heart appeal than this tale of Tod Browning‘s master crook film, ‘"The Unholy: Three," ~a Metroâ€"Goldâ€" wynâ€"Mayer production interpreted by an allâ€"star cast, will be seen this Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Weston Theatre. The allâ€"star cast â€"includes: Mae Busch, Lon Chaney, Matt Moore, Vicâ€" tor McLaglen, Harry Earles, Mathew Betz and several others familiar to the fans. Miss Busch has (the featured role and Chaney, who is considered ‘the real master of the art of makeâ€"up, plays a dual role that will not be forâ€" gotten, soon. Matt Moore has the role opposite Miss Busch and Victor Mcâ€" Laglen, celebrated English actor and Harry Earles, thirtyâ€"five pound midget, are two of the "heavies." "Mannequin," the new Paramount photoplay, which makes its debut next Monday \ at the Weston Theatre, stands out among the current screen productions for several reasons. To begin with, it was produced by James Cruze, whose directorial stamp on . a film is a guarantee of entertainment and technical perfection, Secondly, it was written by Fannie Hurst. famous magazine writer and novelist, and _if any further proof were needed of the story‘s superlaâ€" tive excellence, it is the fact that it won the $50,000 _ Liberty Magazine prize for the best original motion picâ€" ture plot. Last but not least, is the cast, which brings together a talented group of film â€" celebrities, featuring Alice Joyee, Warner Baxter, ZaSu Pitts and Dolores Costello. Miss Ray hadâ€" just started to exâ€" plain that Aall was not what it seemâ€" ed when Director George B. Seits hopâ€" ped out of the camera taxi and proved to the satisfaction of the detective that his gallantry. was misguided, though wellâ€"meant. "THE UNHOLY THREE" ‘ This seene was taken from another car, with the camera hidden‘ The poâ€" licemen along the route taken by the taxi had all been tipped off, but the struggle of the girl with the man ltappened to attract the attention of a private detective who had no "tip off." _ He did a little fleet footâ€"work, hopped onto the running board, and, in the twinkle of an eye, was in the taxi grabbing Willard Wolheim, who plaved the thug, by the collar. Allene Ray, the beautiful heroine of "Galloping Hoofs," the Patheserial in which she is featured with Johnnie Walker, had an experience during the taking of a scene for chapter nine showing Thursday, Friday and Saturâ€" day at the Weston Theatre, not writâ€" ten in the scenario. ‘The scene was thrilling â€" but the experience was amusing. j "MANNEQUIN" HAS As Carol Page Miss Ray enters a taxi at Grand Central Terminal, givâ€" ing instructions to the chauffeur to take her to the. Biltmore. But the driver has been â€" given contrary inâ€" structions by the villains, and takes her deep into the heart of New York‘s "East Side"â€"‘where anything â€" might, and does, happen! There, according to the scenario, a thug enters the taxi and attempts to take from Miss Ray a bag that is padlocked onto her wrist. Miss Ray, struggles, and, in orâ€" der to attract attention to her plight, simashes the glass in the taxi window.

She is again able to be out again, her friends will be pleased to. hear. March 26th, the Mission Circle held their regular meeting and election of officers. A good report of the work done last year was given. The offiâ€" cers elected for this year areâ€"as folâ€" lows: Mrs. Joe Farr, Pres:; Miss Mable Farr, Viceâ€"Pres.; Miss Ruby Calhoun, See; Miss Louise Stewart, Treas. At the close of the meeting Miss Mable Farr, past president, was presented with a life membership. Both pictures are featureâ€"length comedies, but in that theâ€"comparison stops, for "Reckless Romance" is a comedy picture of an entirely differâ€" ent type. It has fast action but it is straight farce, one of the things which the Al Christie organization has the reputaticn of being specialists in. Depending . as it does on putting over farcical situation comedy rather than broad gags and "hokum," the picture has \ called for an excellent cast to play the various roles in a skilful manner. "DANCE MADNESS" The Misses Ruby and Winifred Calâ€" houn thank their many friends for their kindnesses during their recent sickness. Miss Ruby is again back to business. Hilarious Situations And Wellâ€"Known Players in "Reckless Romances" Movie fans who . remember _ seeing the recent Al Christie feature, "Hold Your Breath," with its slapdash comâ€" edy and thrills will be surprised at the versatility of the Christie organâ€" ization when they see the next Chrisâ€" tie feature. "Reckless Romance," which comes to the Maple Leaf Theâ€" atre Wednesday andâ€" Thursday. The Athletic Club held their annual meeting last Wednesday evening. A splendid report of the previous year‘s work was given. The officers for the coming year elected were Fred Lund, President, and Edgar Love, See.â€"Treas. The two feminite leads are Wanda Hawley and Sylvia Breamer. The two chief male roles are played by ‘I. Roy Barnes and Harry Myers. Tully Marâ€" shall, Lincoln Plumsr and Jack Dufâ€" fy portray the character roles, while Morgan Wallace is the villain. Plumer and Jack Duffy ‘have been identified with the Christie short comedies, and Barnes and Marshall have previously appeared in Al Christie features. The Institute will meet next Wed:â€" nesday at the home of Mrs. Watt. The work done by the sewing class will be exhibited and judged at this meeting by a member of the Agricultural Deâ€" partment. CHRISTIE FEATURE Metro â€" Goldwyn â€" Mayer has given this talented â€" director another outâ€" standing cast. . Sally â€"O‘Neill, a wonâ€" derful . neweomer; Chatlie Murray, Ford Sterling, Muriel Francis Dana, Frankie Darro, Junior Coghlan, Wilâ€" liam Haines, Sam De Grasse, Ned Sparks and other well known players appear in the picture. Miss O‘Neill, who plays the title role, makes her screen debut in "Mike." She is Neilâ€" an‘s latest discovery _and he states that she will \develop into a star in a surprisingly short time. "Mike" is pure entertainment. It abounds in comedyâ€"of the sort that Neilan. is noted for. It has a charmâ€" ing love story and there are many moâ€" ments of intense excitement culminâ€" ating in breathâ€"taking thrills But its chief quality is its humor, which runs from subtle wit to broad comedy. â€"it never comes right out with a diâ€" rect narrative told in terms of direct action on the screen; shadows, gesâ€" turesâ€"fleeting glimpses of its people in weird settings and strange, gloomy under ground cellars tell the tale. "Mike," a _ Metroâ€"Goldwynâ€"Mayer picture directed ‘by Marshall Neilan. which will be shown at the Oakwood Theatre on Thursday for 3 days, is described as one of the best and most amusing pictures that director has yet turned out in a long career of notable successes. ‘This seems reasonable to assume as the story itself is Neilan‘s own. The Ladies‘ Aid held their meeting last. Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Harry Gardhouse. Miss Killworth, of the Fublic Health Department, Toronâ€" to, gave a very interesting and helpâ€" ful address on "Health." At the close of the meeting the Misses Gardhouse rendered a pleasing instrumental duet which was much appreciated. A Or ratherâ€"they don‘t tell the tale at allâ€"they just furnish cirecumstanâ€" tial evidence from which the audience deduces the story. It is one of the strangest productions ever attempted in picture history. Lon Chaney was paid a fortune to appear in the pictureâ€"but his face was _ never seen, except fleeting plances. Rupert Julian, the director, finished a thousand feet of scenes in which Chaney tells a story of loveâ€" one of the most artistic bits of love naking on recordâ€"with his back to the camera. His hands did the acting for him. e se "The Phantom of the Opera," writâ€" ten by Gaston Leroux, tells of a weird, malformed @reature. Sol Hoopii and his famous â€" steel guitar trio furnished the "inspirationâ€" al" music for Robert Z. Leonard‘s production of "Dance Madness" durâ€" ing its making at the Metroâ€"Goldwynâ€" Mayer studios. This ipicture is comâ€" ing to the|\ Oakwood.»:Theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Leonard has long been an admirer of Hoopii‘s variety of syncopation, and felt on account of‘ the nature of the nature of the story, that the actâ€" ors would do better work under the spell of the Hawaiiah music. Hoopii‘s trio has doubtless been heard in ......... being broadcast from various Los Anâ€" geles radio . stations. Conrad Nagel and Claire Windsor play the featured _ roles_ in ‘"Dance Madness.". The play is based on an original ‘story by S. J. Kaufman.
