This is a delight ful, modern, melodramatic com-; edy having as its central figures' the much discussed present-day i miss and her hair-brained set of ■ admirers all devotees of Jazz. Eileen Percy, in the principal | feminine role of Babs Weston, j comes in for an unusual amount of j criticism from her fiance, Richard ■ Forestall, who rebukes her be- \ cause she has become engaged to j three men at the same time. A novelty in the production is' the contrast of the styles of today ' WOOD' WITH GREAT CAST Ctlffi All of Paramount’s Stars in One of Year’s Big Pro ductions Stars, stars and more stars, sc many that one can not keep track of them are shown in the big Para mount special production, “Holly wood,” which is a coming attrac tion at the Rylander. There have been other pictures that dealt with this subject and showed num erous well-known players in this big Western film producing center, but this one approaches it from a different angle, for it is a spark ling comedy, a keen satire filled not only with good humor that will make anybody laugh but also , with subtle wit and bright, clever touches. .. The cast includes every Para mount star of note, among them being Pola Negri, Thomas Meighan Gloria Swanson, William S. Hart, Walter Heirs, May McAvoy, Owen I Moore, Viola Dana, Agnes Ayres, | Jack Holt, Anna Q. Nilsson, Jac- i queline Logan, Leatrice Joy, Nrra I Naldi, Lila Lee, Lois Wilson, War- I ren Kerrigan and over a score of i others. “Hollywood” is claimed to be one of the biggest pictures ever issued from the Paramount studios.

WMMWbIWMIFA 1 I IN M PLAY “The Woman in Bronze” Is Pic turization of Great Success When a man marries, he forgets about it—takes it for granted. When a woman marries she finds her greatest task in not letting him forget about it. The big job is holding him provided she wishes to. Vivian Hunt was that kind of wife; she did not want to lose her husband, and he, being a sculptor and endowed with the characteris tic artistic inconstancy, was a par ticularly elusive mate. Os Vivian’s struggle and final triumph is the story of “The Wo man of Bronze,” which as a play a few seasons ago in New York, presented Margaret Anglin with onq of the greatest emotional op portunities of her career. It has recently been transferred to the screen and the star—most fitting ly, for few could undertake the part—is Clara Kimball Young. It is said to be Miss Young’s triumph, and is the attraction at the Rylander next Tuesday. On the same program will be shown a Bull Montana comedy, “A Ladies Man.” Astronomers say there are no sounds on the moon. Then it would make a fine summer resort. HANDSOME JO HOLT Popular Star in Paramount Pro duction at Rylander Wednesday In response to letters from hun dreds of Jack Holt’s admirers, who asked that his next Paramount pic ture be a succession of genuine thrills, “The Tiger’s Claw” was es pecially written, With what suc- WE i cess this was done will be apparent when the picture is Shown here for the first time at the Rylander Theater next Wednesday. Orders were given Jack Cun ningham to write a picture story for Mr. Holt, filled with as many kicks as are ordinarly found in an entire serial. Mr. Cunningham got busy and for the first time in his career- Mr. Holt was given a tri angle love plot—one in which his own love balanced between two women. India, the darkest and most mys terious country of the world, offer ing a background of thrills, was chosen as the locale. Into the bat tle with a bengal tiger; a leap, on horseback, over a deep gulch, fif teen feet wide; a battle against a gang of Hindus; near assassination at' the hand of the Thugees, ruf fians masquerading under the cloak of religion; a fight for life in the water of the flood from the dynamited dam; these and other as equally powerful situation were embraced in the action. The result is a most exciting photoplay. A gasp a minute, yet not so thrilling as to lose its heart interest or its comedy re lief, the picture speeds onward to a big climax. J *"* Included in the cast with Mr. Holt are Eva Novak, George Pe.-io lat, Bertram Grassby, Aileen Prin gle, Frank Butler, George Field, and Lucien Littlefield. In addition to “The Tiger’s Claw” the Ryland er‘s Wednesday program will con sist of “Kick Out,” a Me-maid comedy. YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS “Hollywood.” Betty Compson in “The Woman With Four Faces” Douglas McLean in ‘A man of Action.” “The Brass Bottle.” Jack Holt in “A Gentleman of Leisure.” Thomas Meighan in “Homeward Bound.” “Only 38.” Constance Talmadge in “Dulcy.” Gloria Swanson in “Bluebeard’s Bth Wife” “The Famous Mrs. Fair.” Rex Ingram’s “Where the Pave ment Ends.” Richard Barthelmess in “The Fighting Blade.” Cn'Y AND FARM LOANS Made on business or Residence Property and Good Farms.

Peter B. Kyne, the famous nov elist wrote the st' ry, and the cast is composed of Miriam Cooper, Ralph Graves Lien” Belmore, Eugenie Besserer, W. .*. Ferguson and Pat Rooney. Miss Cooper has a particularly sympathetic role as “Nan of Saw- I dust Pile,” the name bestowed up i on a niece of land created along ’b“ Columbia river in the State of Washington by the refuse of a huge sawmill, and which has been settled by squatters. Among these is Nan’s grand father, a retired petty officer of the American navy, who has fal len upon evil days. Despite their no vert j’ Nan makes the best of things, doing her part in earning a daily living and hoping in the bottom most part of her heart that some day she may he able to cuL tivate the pure singing voice with which nature had endowed her. Romance develops between the mafic moments to make the produc tion one that is apparently very much worth-while. Interesting to note is the fact that the cast of “Luck” contains many noted stars, including John ny Hines, Violet Mersereau, Robert Edeson, Edmund Bree.se' Chanlie Murray, Flora Finch, Warner Richmond, Polly Moran and Harry Fraser. “Luck” will be shown at the Ry lander next Saturday with the fifth chapter of Art Acord’s “The Oregon Trail,” and a comedy en titled, “Vamped.” JACK HOLT WRITES TO FANS. Jack Holt has written, for pub lication, a letter to motion picture fans. It follows: ‘ Dear Friends: If you happen to live in some town where there !s no zoo for you to visit and see the animals, don’t worry. “Have patience.
