This situation strikes home a
most dramatic"climax in ‘‘The Trail

Minter as June Tolliver, is the girl
ill this well-known story by John
Box, Jr. As John Hale, whose duty
it i. to bring law into the Cumber
lands and to enforce it, Antonio
Foreno, leading man, makes a pow
erful and exceedingly good-looking
hero, and Ernest Torrence, also
featured, has a strong character
role. •
The scene described is but one
of many moments of suspense and
romance that go to make “The
Trail of the Lonesome Pine” an ex
ceedingly interesting photoplay.
Charlie Chaplin’s “The Rink,”
shows this famous comedian at a
skating resort and nothing could
be funnier than his eforts to ma
nipulate his grotesque looking feet.
“The Rink” and' “The Trail of the
Lonesome Pine” combine to make
the 4th of July a hanny day for
patrons of the Rylander.
Did you ever see a picture twice?
oome day when you particularly
enjoy a film, go along and look at
it again. Things missed before leap
out to surprise; individual perfor
mances of certain players carry
double delight. It’s like re-rpading
a much loved book.

lavish and interesting pictures

Miss Swanson plays the role of
“Swiftie” Forbes, who during the
absence of her father in Europe,
has broken all rules of convention.
On his return he learns that par
ental discipline is a relic of a
past age and that his daughter

In taking a last chance to re-
I trieve her fast dwindling finances,

debt on the turn of a card.
She loses and promises to marry
the gambler in sixty days. A few
hours before the appointed time, a
strange thing happens, and “Swif
tie.” and her younger sister who
had accompanied her, returned
home—“ Prodigal daughters.”
In thev cast with Miss Swansan
are Theodore Roberts as the fath
er and Ralph Graves, insuring most '
capable support.
