Popular Star on Program With
Comedy and “The Oregon

For next Saturday the RySan
der has arranged one of the most
attractive action programs that
has been shown at that popular
playhouse for some time. It con
sists of William S. Hart in “Shark
Mon,roe,” “Sweetie,” a Century
comedy, and Art Acord in the lat
est chapter of “The Oregon
Trail.”
While “Shark Monroe” is not a
new release, it is a reissue of one
of the most popular pictures that
“Bill” Hart made for Paramount,
and it has not been seen in Amer
icus since its initial showing some
years ago.
bfo comedies have proved a
greater success at the Rylander
than the Century since their in
auguration as a regular part of the
Saturday program some weeks ago,
and "Sweetie” is said to be just
as good as “Sunny Gym” and
others shown recently. Baby
Pegev, who has endeared herself
in the hearts of Americus movie
fans, nlays the leading role in this
comedy.
The ninth chanter of “The Ore
"on Trail” concerns the seething
territory of the Northwest in
1840 or thereabouts, when a great
CTrgin territory, held fast in the
rule of a few traders and tranners
enneht as an addition to the United
States. Many imnortant items of

historical interest ate interwoven
in the storv of this chanter mak

being entertaining.

RYLANDER SCORES WITH
EARLY SHOWING ‘CHEAT’
The management of the Rylan

Americus only the lyist and newest
in pictures has again scored. On
Thursday and Friday of next week
that theatre will present Pola
Negri’s new I’arantount picture,
“The Cheat,” being its first show
ing in the South.
Through special arrangement
with Famous Players—Lasky Cor
poration, distributors of Para
mount pictures, the Rylander was
enabled to secure a pre-release of
this production, and it will be
shown here several weeks before
the Howard Theatre, Atlanta, and
other key points.
“The Cheat” is declared by re
viewers to be Pola Negri’s best pic
ture, surpassing “Bella Donna.”
ALL WANT THE “WANTERS.”
Five thrilling days, filming rail
road scenes completed John M.
Stahl’s task of screening .“The
Wanters”—an apt title for an en
tertaining expose of society climb
ers. Promising all the subtleties
and, deftness of “The Dangerous
Age,” plus a score of stars, “The
Wanters” seems to have every
thing necessary to make us all
want it.
" THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
m HOLT IH j
COMEDY DRAMA
“Gentleman of Leisure’’ is Labor
Day Picture at
Rylander
An unusually excellent prog
ram has been arranged for the
amusement of Americus on Labor
Day. The Rylander will have a
program consisting of Jack Holt
in his latest Pai amount pictuie,
“A Gentleman of Leisure,” and
Bull Montana in a two-reel com
edy, “Two Turns.”
A fast moving comedy-drama
the scenes of which are laid in
England and this country, is “A
Gentleman of Leisure,’! which will
be shown at the Rylander next
Wednesday. It mixes English,
dignity with American pep and
ginger with amazing, exciting and
laughable results. The picture
piesents scenes of high society as
well as of the underworld, and af
fords Jack a role of that pecular
type of comedy which made his re
cent picture, “Making a Man”
“Nobody’s Money” so successful.
There are no tears in this pro
duction, but there are numerous
scenes that thrill. The scene of i
the fight between Mr. Holt and the
burgular at night is said to be ex
cellent. The burglar, a comedy
character, and Sir John Blount, a
.pompous Englishman who is con
stantly searching for his monocle
provide many laughs.
Among other interesting scenes
which distinguish “A Gentleman
of Leisure” there is one in which
Mr. Holt, parading as an interna,
! tionally known crook, and the
I burglar breaks into the home of
a millionaire police official, the
daughter of whom Mr. Holt as the
hero, loves.
“A Gentleman of Leisure” is a
picture filled with action and
laughs and haj novelty and gen
uine punch. It is a sure cure for
the hot-weather blues. Included
in the cast with Mr. Holt are
Casson Ferguson, Alec B. Francis
and Adele Farrington.
Bull Bontana in his newest com
edy, “Two Turns,” with “A gentle
man of Leisure” completes an all
around comedy program.

Star Has at Last Found Opportunity for Expres
sion of Her Dramatic Ability
That Pola Negri in her second
American picture/ Georgia Fitz-|
maurice’s production. “The
Cheat,” has achieved the greatest
triumph of her career, seems |to
be the unanimous verdict of Los
Angeles, where the picture had its ,
world premiere at Grauman’s Ri- |
alto Theatre. The crowd at the ,
opening per formance, according to J
Sid Grauman, was the largest ever i
seen on a similar occasion in that I
city. With absolute capacity |
audiences continuing in atten
dance, it seems certain that the
picture will break all records when
shown at the Rylander Theatre
here next Thursday and Friday.
In another sense, the showing
of “The Cheat” in Americus will
be a notable event, for it will
mark the premiere of this produc
tion in the South, weeks before its
exhibition at the Howard and
other key theatres.
Probably no other picture has
received the unanimously superla
tive praise that has been accorded
“The Cheat” by the Los Angeles
| newspaper critics. Edwin Schallert
in ‘The Times’ said. “I have look
l cd forward keenly to the debut of
Miss Negri in “The Cheat.” I an
ticipated what it would mean for
the disclosures of her physical
beauty and The fascination of her
face and hands and form and I
can now loudly shout and proclaim
that at last we have seen Pola
Negri. At last we know how her
wonderfully expressive counteannce
looks. At last, we realize how her
charms may be enhanced by the
marvels of American sartorial art,
the perfection of American make
on.and brdliance of American
lights. “The Cheat proves in ev
ery resnect what every one mav
ban has expected it to prove, and'
that D the super-superiority of the
physical- eouinment of our studios
and the splendors of what money
can do.”

—POLA NEGRI’S GREATEST PICTURE f'

RYLANDER
n .
rice has made a beautiful creation
in his film adaption of ‘The Cheat.’
The drama of a human soul is re
vealed stark and realistic. Miss
Pola Negri has effected her char
acterization with vivid realism as
the woman with beauty and appeal |
who sacrifices honor and life and j
happiness of those who love her'
on the alter of her own selfish
ness. The actress offers a grip
ping picture. Jack Holt and
| Charles De Roche both give mag
nificent performances. Exquisite
shots and a profusion of scenes
wherein both composition and dra
matic quality are evident, and
backgrounds and setting of lavish
and varied interest, enhance the
charm of the picture. Mr. Fitz
maurice has offered something
which must strike deep to the core
;of every woman’s heart in his
frankly drawn story of the life of
this coquette.”
CONSTANCE IN NEW ONE
One of the most eagerly awaited
I pictures of the year is Constance
Talmadge’s new production,
“Dulcy, ’ which is a forthcoming
attraction at the Ryland,er.
“Dulcy” is the new term z in Holly
wood for bone-head, and around
this fact one of the funniest
stories ever written has been made
into a picture. In short, “Dulcy”
:is the captivating romance of a
■ dumb-bell who traveled on today’s
train with a tomorrow ticket and
was as ivory-doomed in all ejse
that she did.

Ke is unaware that Jim Bedford,
the sailor in question, lovps his
daughter, and that she returns his
love. She goes to sea in a palat
ial yacht, the command of which
had been wrested by Bedford from
Svenson, a cowardly skipper. This
sets in motion a series of thrilling
events which goes far to make this
picture what is said to be the best

the spectator. .
“Homeward Bound” is said to
be a most colorful photograph and
rare entertainment, from the
standpoint of fine direction,
skilled portrayal, artistic photo

The story is based on Peter B.

and is crammed full of love, ro
