Star Vaudeville Acts in Sound Gertrude Lawrence and Rio Rita Girls Robert Benchley in "The Treasurer's Report" Movietone News Milton Sills and Thelma Todd Star in Norshore Film Milton Sills and Thelma Todd, play- ing the important roles in "The Crash," Norshore picture for next week, do some excellent work in a story which has considerable of excitement and a great deal to hold one's interest. Sills has the part of Jim Flannagan, a two-fisted, fighting Irishman, who comes back from the World war to be put in charge of the wrecking crew of White Cloud, a railroad junction high in the Sierra mountains. The duty of himself and the gang he commands is to clear up wrecks along the hazar- dous main line. On one of the derailed trains that requires his attention is a burlesque troupe, billed for White Cloud, where it is eagerly awaited by the town fathers and, viciously, by the town wives and mothers. Jim has never had much use for girls, but he sees Daisy McQueen (Thelma Todd)--and it's all off. A lit- tle reconnoitering assures him that she is decent, and after whipping the gentleman whose advances to Miss McQueen have furnished the proof of her virtue, he asks Daisy to marry him. Daisy does, and is straightway snubbed by all the supposedly * 'nice" people of the village. She tries her best to live down the allegations of the local gos- sips, but Jim permits his mind to be- come poisoned, the Flannagans sepa- rate, Daisy leaves, and Jim starts drinking and gets fired. Community House to Show "The Lion and the Mouse" "The Lion and the Mouse," with Lionel Barrymore, May McAvoy, Wil- liam Collier, Jr., and Alec Francis, will be the screen attraction at the Com- munity House next Tuesday, Decem- ber 18. The story of this film is a rugged one, based on human relations that will be as true centuries from now as today. John Ryder (Lionel Barrymore), an outstanding genius in the world of business, ruthlessly ruins an old judge, who has made a decision inimical to his interests. The judge's daughter (May McAvoy), a sculptress, meets Ryder's ne'er-do-well son (Wil- liam Collier, Jr.), while abroad. He fol- lows her back to America, where she discovers her father's plight and at once plans to set it right. This she does, in ways so devious, amusing and clever, that she wins the lion over to the point of his exonerating her father and presenting her with his son. The plot of "Ham and Eggs at the Front," picture to be shown at the Community House next Friday, is based on the difficulties encountered by two colored members of a vaude- ville team, lured to Uncle Sam's en- listment bureau at the outset of the war, and sent to France as members of a colored regiment. They are so se- riously involved, before they leave the United - States, in several hectic love affairs, that they are only too delighted to take their departure for foreign shores. Tom Wilson and Heinie Conklin, famous for their blackface impersonations, play the leading male parts, and Myrna Loy has the princi- pal feminine role as the cause of the fatal weakness which pursues the col- ored boys across the water, NEW HERO FOR VILMA Robert Montgomery has been select- ed as leading man to Vilma Banky in her next picture, which will be made in New York. His forthcoming screen appearance will be Mr. Montgomery's first picture effort.
