Is the one who gets the crowds.
He does a lot more business
Than the one who peddles clouds
For the salesman who’s a frowner
Will be beaten by a mile
If the man who follows after
Meets the buyers with a smile.

“The Passion Play”
at Rivoli Theatre
The RIVOLI Theatre has succeeded in ob
taining the film version of the famed sacred
drama of Ober-Ammergau, the stirring “PAS
SION PLAY” an impressive story of the life
of the Saviour for one day’s exhibition, Friday,
May 2nd. This shows all the important scenes
in the life of our Saviour as taught in our Sun
day Schools and Churches. The annunciation,
Birth of Jesus, Flight into Egypt, Baptism of
Jesus, John the Baptist, Raising of Lazarus,
Christ healing the sick, Entry into Jerusalem,
Christ before King Herod, the Crucifixion, the
Ascension. It is uplifting in nature, and the
scenes awe inspiring as they portray Christ as
he is supposed to have looked as he journeyed
through Palestine 1900 years ago. It stirs in
the heart the deepest religious sentiment. It
will be accompanied by sacred music, “The Holy
City,” “Lead Kindly Light,” “Rock of Ages,”
and Nearer My God to Thee.”
Such a religious and inspiring picture should
be seen by every man, woman and child in Doug
las, and there cannot be the slightest objection
raised against it by any one. It will be the
most deeply impressive sermon ever proclaimed
from any pulpit. The ministers in the city are
cordially invited. Admission 25 and 50 cents.

Lon Chaney’s Hunchback Role
Is Last Word In Stage Art
The Geatest Sacen Attraction of theAtfe?
llP**
<, LON
i CHANCT
Lon Chaney, admittedly the finest
interpreter of unusual character roles
on either stage or screen and whose
work as the fake cripple in “The Mir
acle Man” stands out as a bit of re
markable acting, has added another
striking characterization to his al
ready long list in his appearance as
“Quasimodo.” the star role in “The
Hunchback of Notre Dame.” This
massive picture production, based On
Hugo’s classic, will show at the Rivoli
Theatre May 21-22.
There is probably no actor behind
the footlights, or before the camera,
today who has mastered the art of
make-up to the extent Lon Chaney
has. His Fagin, in “Oliver Twist,”
was an example of his proficiency in
this line. Besides being a player of
intelligence, with a keen sense of the
requirements of a role, Mr. Chaney is
an acrobat and has contortionist abili
ties which he is often called upon to
use in his characterizations.
Some idea of the regard Mr. Chaney
has for detail of make-up in “The
Hunchback of Notre Dame,” is the
fact he was on the “lot” at Universal
City, where the mammoth production
was made, each morning three and
one-half hours before the remainder
cf the company, his work of trans
forming himself into Hugo’s unique
character requiring that amount of
time. No effort was spared by Mr.
Chaney to make the deformed bell
ringer of Notre Dame as near like
what the famous novelist conceived
him to be, as possible.
Incidentally, throughout the day Mr.
Chaney was forced to carry 72 pounds
on his back. It was another one of
his torture roles for which he later
paid the penalty by spending three
weeks in a private hospital.
“The Hunchback of Notre Dame” is
the greatest picture production ever
turned out. It is supplied with the
biggest and most artistic settings ever
used in a film play, as near perfect
atmosphere for the unfolding of Vic
tor Hugo’s story as possible. The
perfecting of this exactness in every
detail required a long time, and the
cost was stupendous, but results have
justified everything that was done.”
