She has won battles, she has been re sponsible for the overthrow of governments and her influence has made itself felt in many world stirring events. “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world” is a truism in reality. Perhaps woman is unaware of the power she wields. An example of the “deadliness of the species” is given in “The Scarlet Lily,” starring Katherine McDonald which plays at Ry lander next Wednesday.

The atmosphere of the Old West ! has never been the Indian-killing, ranchhouse-revel, fighting atmosp here of the dime novels in the pic tures in which Hoot Gibson has starred. Gibson has always played in stories in which his character could have been transferred to another atmosphere than that oi the west ir the author had so de sired. In other words, his roles have Been human and real, not .merely “dashing heroes” of the West.

RYLANDER THEATRE Thursday, Oct. 18 Prices 50c SI.OO, $1.50. Plus Tax Seat Sale Tuesday 10 A. M. Box Office. Mail Orders Accepted jjp mrk /I lift / Mae Murray Dazzling in “The French Doll” rnexrjs.::; \ Wears Gorgeous Gowns and Jewels and Does Sensational Dance With “The French Doll,” to be shown at the Rylander on Monday and Tuesday, Mae Murray has started the season with a rush, this being the fifth of the “Great 8” photoplays being presented by the Rylander. There is not a star in the world that has larger personal following than Mae Murray. And rightly so. She’s the screen’s best dressed wom?n. She is filmdom’s premier danseuse, and she is epdowed with unique talents as a comediene and dramatic actress. And Mae Mur ruy 'has the pep and dash that movie-goers demand “The French Doll” offers Miss Murray the most fascinating role that she has ever had. As the fiery little French girl, she is delicious. It is a composite of her many sue cessfull roles, and yet vastly dif ferent from any of them. “The French Doll” is distinctive. It was adapted from the famous Broadway play. New York critics were unanimous in its praise as inj.ghtful entertainment and the picture is said to have exceeded the play in rapid movement, color and power. Settings? There has never been anything more hovel on the screen, even in Mae Murray’s previous pictures. “The French Doll” has them all beat for beauty, lavish ness and cost. The scenes are laid in Paris, New York and Palm Beach—a wonderful opportunity for elaborate sets and advantage was taken of every opportunity. And growns! Even Mae Murray never before wore costumes so gorgeous, ravishing and dazzling in their splendor. The winsome star deliberately set out to kncok their eyes out” with these gowns and ac cording to reports, she will do ii. And, here’s another tip. In this picture Miss Murray does the most stnling dance of her career. It's a sensation. The cast supporting Miss Mur ray in this production is excellent and includes Rod La Rocquue and Orville Caldwell. ‘cudoleuflpeis THEATRICAL SEASON The theatrical season in Ameri , cus opens next Thursday at the Ry lander with “Cuddle ’Tip,” a Musi cal comedy which is claimed to be one of those French farces espec ially adapted for a good musical , comedy. While the show is spicy and full of action, there is not a single sug gestive line to offend the most critical patron in any way. It is distinct and different, ex clusive in many ways and full of features that will please any amuse ment seeker. The cast is one of excellence in cluding, George Selden, Eden Bak er, Dois Clare, Kathleen Brenon Ralph Coleman, Jennie Adams .Sweeney and Rooney and Golden West Trio. The story is written in three acts and the scenic equipment and cos tumes are far superior to many of the bigger musical comedies play ing at higher prices. A very handsone chorus is one of the features in ‘“Cuddle-Up.” They sgjg well, dance very grace fully and wear many costumes that resemble those displayed in New York’s most fashionable events. The musical score for “Cuddle- Up” is almost all original and it full of peppry melodies that go with a dash and a swing and the audience soon realize the differ ence. Seat sale commences Tuesday at 10 A. M. and we would advise ear ly reservations to secure choice seats. “MERRY GO HIND’ SCREEN SEMI Picture That Astounded New York Coming to Rylander Soon The dates of Oct. 22 and 2d art fast drawing near and all Amcricus is eagerly awaiting the showing of the colossal production, “Merry-Go- Round,” on the screen of the Ry lander. The following is an editorial on “Mery-Go-Round” by William A. Johnston, Editor, in Motion Pic ture News: * “What a picture is Unversal’s “Merry-Go- Rround!” They’ve car ried a slogan in conjunction will) this fine achievement which read You’ll Be surprised. Well we ire surprised There has been no bom bast, no fanfare of trumpers in the! exploitation of this intensely hu- j man story of Vienna. But no direr ! tor is going to fail in grasping Uie[ advertising possibilities now that ; t| is here. Whatever he says (and he is going to make capital of this effort) should be shouted from the housetops. , We predict great success for “Merry-Go-Round.” It is lavisn, human, dramatic and rich in its story-telling quality. We especially liked the manner in which the cen tral figurues are ever in the fore ground regardless of the surging tide of life in the bockground. In deed we never lose track of th< story—-the pathetic little romance of the organ-grinder who found her Prince Charming and made him real when he was inclined to plav. The idea here is novel is that, pick ing a figure from a carnival has never been employed before. She might he called a first cousin of tn< circus performer. Which, of cours.

For stories of the big top s never fail to touch the heart-string i Rupert Julian, the director, plays upon these same heart strings with r the same effectiveness of a great , orchestra leader.

The concertmaster (it’s a g coneei'tmistress here) is Mary i- Philbin who, prior to this picture, io had never indicated that she was e destined for the high places. It r must be that we were blind to her n ineffable charm and hidden talent. 7. It has taken a great role to bring c- out her expressive gifts. Surely ;s Mary Philbin has arrived, Lillian le Gish, emotional as she is, could not lc have done any better. This nev.'- 50 [ comer (after all she is a newcom er) extracts the deepest sympathy and the most compelling admira tion in her wistful and pathetic study of the organ-grinder.
