viewed it as a slur on their sex and
they did not hesitate to express
their opinion of its author.#
Nevertheless, history records
that in many instances the “female
of the species” really was more
deadly than the sterner sex. 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.

tale, has been pursued by a wealthy

“Dead Game” is a story of a

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.

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.

upon these same heart strings with
