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.

One of those luxurious society fetes which society likes to think up in its idle moments, is a flashy feature of “Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife,” Gloria Swanson’s new Paramount picture. It’s called “A Night in Egypt,” and the cli max of its streaming surprises comes when Gloria is revealed as an Egyptian mummy in a costume that—oh, you’ve got to see it, that’s all! RYLANDER SCORES WITH EARLY SHOWING ‘CHEAT’ The management of the Rylan der Theatre in endeavoring to give 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. Program For The Week Monday—Jack Holt in “A Gen tleman of Leisure;” Bull Montana in “Two Turns.” Tuesday and Wednesday— Thomas Meighan in 4 Homeward Bound;” Clyde Cook in “The Es kimo.” Thursday and Friday——Pola Negri in “The Cheat;” Aesop s Fables. Saturday—William S. Hart in ‘"Shark Monroe;” “Sweetie,” Cen tury comedy; Art Acord in “The Oregon Trail.” “The Cheat" * ' T* 1- ■ \ [A.' w i I x 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.” “Florence I,nwroy.ee said in ‘The Examiner’: ‘George Fitsmau- 1 I ■ ~X' t m H A George Fitzmaurice duction with Jack Holt. *" *■ '' SB Hr ' MMSI www w. i H R Ss ill w * f ?

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. i ■ - WATCH FOR THESE. “Only 38” with May MacAvoy and Elliott Dexter, Constance Tal madge in “Dulcy,” Gloria?

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 sea picture screened in many months. Os course, the finish, al though surprising, is pleasing to 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 graph and beauty of investiture. The story is based on Peter B. Kyne’s ‘‘The Light to Leeward, and is crammed full of love, ro mance and adventure.
