In September. "1920. the Fox special pt'tnlllctltnl went into the Astor The- zitrc. Hue ot’ the Shuberts‘ prominent New York houses. It was welcomed by the cynical critics as a truly mas- terful picture. and New York began to tlock in almost. uncontrollable masses to the doors of the Ast’Or Theatre. Because of the tremendous response. Messrs. Shubert were compelled to put. the Fox production in a larger auditorium; they ac- commodated the crowds in the Gen- tral Theatre, with its seating capa- city of nearly 3,500 persons. For one solid year “Over the Hill” attracted the inhabitants Of New York and visitors to the Great White Way. Repeatedly the New York news- pazmrs devoted columns of praise to the picture and the etl‘ect it was having on those who witnessed it. Thesis newspaper stories were vol- nniary acclaim to the success of the l‘lhotodrama rather than the result or publicity campaigns instituted by either the producer or the exhibitor. \s the reports of the remarkable impressions “Over the -Hiil" was leaving on the New York audiences began to circulate, editors of papers throughout. the United States and Canada and even in, European and; Far Eastern countries, began to give it considerable mention. Then, upon release of the production in August, 1921, to the general theatre field. he- gan an influx of letters to the offices of William Fox from clergymen. ed- ucators, social leaders, business men, authors and industrial workers-â€" letters unanimous in praise of the story and its pictureization; and the flow of laudatory communications has not ceased since that time. \Vihenever the picture has beenl shown to the inmates of penal insti- tutions, here has followed in each case a batch of missives written by the convicts conveying their thanks to Mr. Fox tor the privilege of wit- nessing it, and their heart-felt ap- preciation of the truth which the story brought home to them. rah-S 31L Another remarkable thing about “Over the Hill” is the fact that while it was a cast written without a star,. Mary Carr, who assumed the role of Ma Benton, the mistreated mother, has gained international fame as an __ ‘â€" and Johnnie Walker, the ”black-sheep” of the story, has been named a star by William Fox.

Pen to Produce _ An Absorbing Story of Dominion Life :9...i.$5.5..-.....-zo:...¢..ozo..o..o:ozo..Qazoaézizozo Romance and Authentic Record of Colorful Period of National . Combined in Novel of the Homestead Of all Canadian-born, Canadian- writing authors to-day, Robert Stead stands out as that one who most steadily and unfailingly has painted Canada at her best. His former novels, “The Homesteaders,” “The Cowpuncher,” and “Dennison Grant,” have established for him a wide reputation throughout Canada, and for that matter all of the British Empire and the United States. It was Stead who made the experiment not so long ago, of publishing his first book in Canada, through a Cana- dian firm (Messrs. Hodder Stough- ton Limited), and printed by Canadi- an presses. The experiment was so successful that the book outsold the best selling imported titles of its season, and the Stead books have been proving the truth of the All- Canadian theory ever since. This latest novel is in many ways Stead’s greatest. It is very simple writing, with evidence of a fine re- straint and understanding, and dem- onstrates again his unrivalled knowl- edge of the country of its setting. The love story of two families of young people, who have been child- ren together in the east and take up adjoining homesteads in the Sas- katchewan country, is its main theme. And a beautiful and absorb- ing: love-story it is, with a touch of suspense toward the close which makes it all the happier in the end. The life of the Homestead neighbour- hood is told with delightful humour, and a more delightful .rvidence of 02-11 knowledge of th settlers’ coun- try and the characters which make it up. a. n V i 1 ° 1 “Neighbours,” aflappy Novel of the Northwest, 1: Hailed as His Greatest Book Av v‘ “Neighbours’ is a book which should be found on everv library table in Canada this y,ear and on A few BIND‘ERS on ‘ hand for immediate " delivery. ‘F J' ‘0'...”ng Durh CHILDREN are unconscious dieticians, the way they love Bread-and-mflk.
