The story was adapted by-Rex In. gram from a story in John Russell’s book, “Where the Pavement Ends,” which has had an enormous sale. Sir Arthur Conan Doylq called the vol ume ‘‘the best book of short tales by any debutante since Kipling’s ‘Plain Tales,” Mr. Russell acted in an advisory capacity during the filming of the story in Florida and (declared himself highly pleased with the realism which Mr. Ingram obtained in the settings. 4 The fact that the picture was made by the-director of “The Four Horsemen,” “The Prisoner of Zenda” and “Trifling Women” is enough to assure fine artistry and high distinction. And here again Mr. Ingram has captufed the true spirit of his story. And it is the living, intense spirit of a strange tale of a strange place, peopled by men and women who feel fully all human emotions. The exceptional merit of the pro duction is also attested, by the par ticularly] notable cast. Alice Terry and Ramon Novarro play the lead ing roles.

WMLACE REID 111 HIS LAST PICTURE “Thirty Days” Brings Star in Photoplay Never Before Shown in Americus Americus motion picture fans will have the opportunity of see ing Wallace Reid for the last time wtien “T hirty Days” is , shown at the Rlander Theatre next Thursday and, Friday. This was the last pic ture made before the untimely death of one of the screen’s most popular stars, and has never before been shown in Americus. Pretty girls, plenty of them, are announced as a pulchritudinous and necessary feature of “Thirty Days” ■ adapted from the stage farce of the same name. Mr. Reid’s attraction for women forms the motivating force of the comdey. It starts fires of jealousy in the heart of a member of the Italian Camorra and it forces Reid to immure himself in jail vol untarily to escape the murderous vengeance of this expert with the stiletto. Naturally, with girls with as an important dramatic force girls are plentiful in the picture. Wanda Hawley plays the fnain feminine lead with Carmen Phillips as the charming and flirtatious Italian wife. But in addition to them there are a score o fothers-, tall ones, plump ones, little ones, big ones, all desirous of fixing the Reidian tie or snuggling up just a tiny bit. I As an excellent foil to the beau tiful women, however, are the char actress of Polenta, played by Her schell Mayall and the Prison Ward en by Kalla Pasha. These players are said to be completely villianous, the villiany of Kalla Pasha being pai ticularly funn/’ because of the luxuries he later showers on Reid when the hero finds that Mr. Ward en has been about $5,000 careless in his accounts. Then bare walls and a board bed are replaced by feather mattresses, breakfasts in I bed, a personal valet and velour cur tains over the bar. t He’s a de luxe prisoner indeed, in Reid, but he loses his relisn for the de luxei when he finds that the i murderous Polenta is confined in } the same prison! It’s said to be aj particularly rollicking comedy, i which affords excellent opportuni-1 ties to amuse and entertain.
