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 How long should a .. decent party last?

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 hot weather movie fare to an ab- : 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.

Saturday brings Dustin Farnum in an action picture. “Bucking the Barrier,” Art Accord in “The Oregon Trail,” and a comedy “Musical Neighbors.” * “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- 'MERING OAUGH 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. her, 1922. The picture was sche duled to be produced in 1923. Nearly a year was spent in making | “Hollywood.” 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 lywood” could be completed. Paramount’s “Hollywood” is the original picture story of the screen • and has a cast of 30 real stars and ■ 50 screen celebrites. “Hollywood” is Great Story of the Movies New Paramount Production Has Greatest Cast Ever in Pictures HI- JU • •W' Jfc vs Pola Negri, appearing in “Hollywood.” Program For The Week Monday and Tuesday— “ Wandering Daughters,” a spc. cial production; Buster Keaton in “The Electric House.” Wednesday—Dorothy Daltosr in “Fog Bound;” “Back to the Woods,” comedey.

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.

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.

And this the most interest ing city in the world.
