Coming Events
Confronted with the question, !
“What sort of pictures do Anreri- !
cus movie fans like best in hot I
weather?” a group of persons sitt
ing on the spacious front porch of
one of Americus’ streets the other
day set their brains to work on the
question, and the answers given
were quotable, to say the least.
Said a languid, highly civilized
young person who seeks always to
stifle enthusiasm, “That ‘Racing
Hearts’ thing was fairly clever,
don’t you think?” and that started
the .ball to rolling.
“Oh, I like ‘Prodigal Daughters’’
so much more,” said a determined
young person, who was interrupted
by* an equally determined older
voice with, ‘‘But Down to the Sea
in Ships’ was miles better ‘ than
either,” and from then on the con
versation was simulatneous.
“Oh, but you should see “Holly
wood!” said a young lady just re
turned from New York. “It’s one
of the best pictures I ever saw and
has more stars in it alone than one
is accustomed to seoipg in all the
pictures shown for a month or
more.” ft
“Do you remember Thomias.
Meighan in ‘The Ne’er-00-Well?’
and I was simply crazy about ‘Can
A Woman Love Twice,’ and how
can you forget ‘Robin Hood,’ ‘The
Rustle so Silk,’ You Can’t Fool
Your Wife,’ and didn’t you adore
‘Grumpy,”” came in such a rapid
fire succession that a masculine
member of the group raised his
hands jn horror and cried for
quiet. , ‘ .■ -
“You’viJ., ■ thentioiied scads of
good pictures but, womanlike
you’ve left out the comedy, and I
believe comedy is the best hot
weather diet for movie fans there
is at all,” he oracularly delivered

“What about ‘Safety Last’ and >
some of tjiose other good laugh-1
getters like ‘The Hottentot?”’ he
finished truimphantly, but the
pause which followed did not bode
well for his peace of mind. The 1
femininq, members of the group ‘
were strong for comedy, alright,
but to drag in that old slur against
woman’s lack of humorous percep
tion, just when the conversation I
was becoming really interesting, !
was too thick.
It brought the conversation on I

rupt end, as the women jumped the
new trail and pursued the unfor
tunate remark to its’ remote rami
fications. This much was proved.
The pictures shown weekly at the
Rylander offers a wide appeal and
are interesting to many groups.
Just glance at next week’s offer
ings proVtes the statement, for some
excellent entertainment will be of

“Wandering Daughter.:,” and a |
Buster Keaton comedy, “The Elec

I will appear in her latest Paramount

Thursday and Friday comes one of
the biggest pictures of the year,
“Hollywood,” with every star in the

this contains such names as Gloria

“HOLLYWOOD” NO IMITATION.
"Hollywood” is not an imitation.
Itt is the original motion picture
story of Hollywood. The idea of
making a picture-story showing the
i stars and celebrities of the screed
in their real surroundings was an
nounced by Paramount in Novem-

TERS’UNUSUAL DM
At Rylander Monday and Tues
day With Buster Keaton in
“The Electric House’’
Recently a prominent daily news
paper reported that over two hun
dred inquires had been received at
a hospital to which two girls in
jured in an automobile accident
had been brought, from fathers and,
mothers in search of missing daugh
ters. Dana Burnett, the author,
read the item and from its facts
developed a unique story, and pic
urized it will appear at the Rylan
der 'Theatre on Monday and Tues
day under the title of “Wandering
Daughters.”
“Wandering Daughters,” though
dealing directly with vital prob
lems of the hour, is neither a
preachment, risque or morbid. Fill
ed with sprightly sequence unique
complications and scenes of
some hilarities and misunderstand
ings, the plot Js said to move rap
idly to its climax and to produce
numerous surprising revelations
Briefly, it is a mirrored reflec
tion of the obstacles met and over
come by two girls of opposite na
tures in search of romance. Di
rector Young has, according to
previewers of the production, hap
pily avoided the commonplace melo
drama so often seen in epics deal
ing with forbidden romance and the
play speeds delightfully along.
Selecting his players with
care, Director Young assigned the
role of the “wandering daughters”
to Marguerite de la Motte as Bes
:ie Bowden and Marjoie Daw as
Geraldine Horton. Others in the
capable cast are William V. Mong,
Mabel Van Buren, Noah Beery and
| Pat O,Malley.
One of the strongest added at
traction shown at the Rylander for
a long time will be Buster Kea
ton’s “The Electric House” on the
same program. In this two reel
comedy Buster gets a correspon
dence‘school diploma as a botanist
and a millionaire mistakes him for
an electrician.

Nearly a year was spent in making

i After Paramount’s preliminary
I announcement was made other
companies began the production of
pictures in imitation of the “Hol
lywood” idea. These other pic
tures were speedily produced and
shown to the public before “Hol

Regions
Next Saturday’s program at the
Rylander is one teeming with ac
tion and comedy, consisting of
Dustin Farnum 'in “Bucking the
Barrier,” Art Acord in “The Ore
ogn Trail” and a two reel Century
comedy, “Sunny Gym.’
The tense frigidne.-s of the Klon
dike gold mining districts is exud
ed from the shadows on the screen
in ‘‘Bucking the Barrier,” and the
photography is said to be a feature
of this production.
The virile Farnum portrays the
Klondike miner who inherits the
large English estate and there finds
the woman of his heart, only to
lose her and again seek the wastes
of the northern drifts. In a temp
orary blindness during a sleet lad
en blizzard, the woman returns with
a regenerated love and a rehabil
itated faith in the man.
Colin Campbell's trhfquc direc
tion is visible in many of the high
ly dramatic sequences of the film,
and to Arline Pretty, leading lady,
must go considerable credit,

IT OF THE FOG
Dorothy Dalton Picture Shows
Society in Recklccs
Revels
Society folk are not the only peo
ple that spend several weeks of
the winter season at Palm Beach,
for the entire production unit mak
ing the Paramount picture, “Fog
bound,” in which Dorothy Dalton
is the star, and which will be the
feature at the Bylander Theatre
on Wednesday, was transported
there on location to shoot scenes
for the picture.
Among those in the cast making
the trip were Miss Dalton, Martha
i Mansfield, David Powell, Maurice
Costello, Jack Richardson and j
| Warren Cook. Here not far from
' Palm Beach, practically all the ex
terior scenes were shot. Scenes
; that will not be duplicated for
many a day to come.
“Fog Bound” is the story of a
girl, living on an orange ranch in :
Florida, who finds the man she loy-:
os accused of the murder of her!
father, a revenue officer. Torn be-1
tween loyalty to her parents and
love for the accused, Gale Bren
on, portrayed by Miss Dalton, has
many exciting adventures. “Fog
Bound” is proclaimed an interest
ing and thrilling melodrama from
start to finish.
(In the same program will be
shown a two reel Christie comedy,
“Back to the Woods,”
The most unique picture of the
season and probably of all time has
been secured by the Rlander man
agement and will be the special at
traction on next Thursday and Fri
day. It is titled “Hollywood,” and
has received praise galore from all
critics who have had the privilege
oi witnessing il. Americus will be
one of the first cities in the coun
try accorded the opporuuir.y of
showing this production.
The story of “Hollywood” is bas
ed on a novelette “Hollywood”
written by Frank Condon. Para
mount has picturized this story,
which deals with a girl who tried i
to get into the movies, with a
supporting list of players that in
cludes almost every star, direc
tor and player magnitude known to
the moving picture world.
Angele Whitaker, the heroine, is
the counterpart of a million Amer
ican girls, and she goes to Holly
wood, the screen Mecca of the
United States, to make her for- '
tune as a motion picture, actress.
How many American girls have not
secretly nourished the same ambi
tion?
Angela leads a life that cv r,
American girl will enjoy—a life
that will thrill spectators and prov
oke tears and laughter by turns.
There is melodrama, love, mystery
and genuine humor in every foot
of “Hollywood.”
There have been stores of pic
ture stories hud in New York, but
up to the time Paramount an
nounced its plans for the produc
tion of “Hollywood, not one in Hol-
I lywood. And this the most interest
ing city in the world.
The st ry deals with the real
screen folk of Hollywood—the mo
tion picture aspirants, famous stars
direct s, extras—-every person who
belongs to the mod interesting
aggregation of human beingy : the
world. It is not a tour of Holly
wood, hut a real fast moving ab
sorbing story. The production
shows everything and everybody.
