That is the most revolutionary bit of news the motion picture in dustry ever announces—that the dean of the drama, revered and loved for his great influence on the stage, had at last turned his at tention to the sjlent drama, to lav ish upon it all the infinite detail, the meticulous care and stark power which go w|ith everything connected with his name. “The Gold Diggers” is the first of the -series of Belasco plays to be ficturized and will be the unusual ittraetjon at the Rylander next "hursday and Friday. To do it justice the services of such stars as Hope Hampton, Windham Standing. LouiseFazenda, Alec B.Francis and Johnny Harron were secured. The picture shows in great detail the production of a big musical com edy. The rehearsals, dressing rooms, the chorus girls maks-un for the stage and many other scenes before the curtain. But the scenes after the stage curtain descends and the girls are free to do as they please, are dif ri ferent ones and go more de' the intricacies of human ni"F 4tl the fanciful ideas that impel girls of this character -to live the lives they do.

In spite of the magnificence of the production drama was not sac rificed 'to overshadowing opulence. Though magnificence runs riot in massive settings and gbegeous cos tumes, some more massive and mag nificent than anything the screen has ever reflected, the Norma Tal- I madge who is dear to the heart of I hundreds of millions is ever the [central figure in a love story the i like of which even she, in* her in ' numerable triumphs, has never be- I fore had chance to interpret. i “Ashes of Vengeance” is a story ' of an adamant aristocrat whose pur ! pl e pride, passionate hatred and de- entertainment, etc., from business men of their acquaintance who seek them as a diversion fronj business. Thus they go along dancing, smoking, goirfg to wild parties and I making merry when out of a clear sky something terrible happens. One of their members falls in love with a wealthy young man, an heir to millions of dollars. But even though the young man wants to marry the girl, he fears to do so, because his rich uncle will disinherit him should khe marry a show girl. ■I Jerry Lamar, the leader of the i yold diggers, takes the situation in I hand, and how she works out the I details of quaking the uncl e con j sent, to- the marriage, is something I worth' while seeing. MWS MYSTIC IB APPEAR ATRYLANDER Murdock, Eminent Whit Ma hatma,’ in Divertisements of the Far East The management of the Rylander Theatre announces for Nov. 5, 6 and 7 a special engagement of Murdock —TV- Mester of Mental Mysticism - and his entirf company of Orien tal entertainers, now on their eighth successful tour of the United States. It is said that Murdock possesses n power that’ has baffled college professors and scentjsts in that he can, by gazing into the depths of his crystal, probe the past, pres ent and future of any person he can see. If you wish to consult him in matters of love, business, contemplated changes of any na ture or make inquiry as to lost ar ticles you will have the opportun ity, for during the performance he permits the audience to ask any question they desire, and he not only answers them without opening the envelope containing them, but he calls your name, and can actual ly describe you, though he has never seen you. , Other mysterious things this wonder worker performs are ex periments in slate writing, while surrounded by the audience. He .apparently receives written mes sages from th e dead to members in the audience, and though Murdock makes no claim as to Spiritualism, [self-hypnotism or th.s like, he tells [you that you may cal) it whatever you please. He also produces spirit [pictures in colors upon an actist.’s canvas of any person who has ever lived, and this.is accomplished v’thout any Msjble aid whatever, and without touching his hands or a brush to the picture The Des Moines Register said: “This Murdock is the most myste rious man who has ever visited Des Moines. He continues to mystify crowded houses at the Strand Thea tre, and his various experiments in Mental Telepathy and Occult sci ence continues® to baffle all who try to solve the marvelous feats he performs.” sire for vengeance bowed one by one to the exaltation of an all-con suming love. And this love shoots like a sunbeam through the sha dows of a calamitous epoch; stands out in the midst of a virile rush of action, of herculean battles be tween hate-maddened swordsmen— the vivid of days dark ened’! by the ruthless ambition of Catherine de Medici. ‘Ashes of Vengeance” has a, won derful supporting cast, including Conway Tearle, Courtenay Foote, Betty Francisco, Claire McDowell, [Wallace Beery, Murdock McQuarry [and Mary McAllister.

This picture is one that every member of the [ family will enjoy to the utmost.
