BELASCO BRINGS
HAITI SCRfFN
‘The Gold Diggers' By Avery
Hopwood Marks Picture De
but of Noted Producer
Belasco in the movies!
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. Their chief pleasure is in
extracting money, jewels, clothing.

NORMA TAI MADGE IN
NEW PICTURE COMING
In keeping with its announce
j rnent of playing all worth while big
i attaretions, the Rylander has se
i mired for an early showing Norma
[Talmadges *v,,v production, “Ashes
of Vengeance,’’ which is declared
|to be the crcwn’ng triumph of hm
.vireer.
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.

! Clara Kimball Young Plays
Leading Role at Rylander
Wednesday
[ The heroine whom Clara Kimball
[Young is to portray ii her new
I picture, “Enter Madame,’ is pos
sessed of as many names as Miss
[ Young is of charms. She is Prima
[ Donna Lisa Della Robia, a grand
I opera star, whose career has per-
I force brought her to neglect her
[ husband despite her loyal devotion
I o him.
■ There is every indication that
“Enter Madame,” which plays at
the Rylander next Wednesday, will
repeat on the screen the success of
the stage play upon which it is
founded. Some criterion of its
I merit can be gained* from the ex
cellence of the cast which includes
I Eiliott Dexter, Louise Dresser and
| Lionel Belmore.
The story:
They were thousands of miles
apart, and the role cast for Love in
this drama of hearts was a difficult
one. The communicating line
were long and Love was tired, and
Love nodded his drowsy head. In
that moment of relaxed vigilance
[ the other woman stepped upon the
scene—not a thousand miles away,
but near at hand, alluring flesh
and blood, calling to all the senses.
' Meanwhile, ignorant-of danger, the
1 opera star sang in distant capitals,
[winning the applauding thousands.
; And at home—? sut she came
I back, Madame re-entered upon the
[scene to find—what?
On the program with “Enter Ma
jdame” will be shown.a Clyde. Cook

considers boorish and crude, be
cause he is practical.

• IVIESTOGETHER[
[ ‘Soul of the Beast’ Drama of Big ;
Teqt and Big Woods To Be
Shown at Rvlander
What is declared a great human
[ interest story will be shown at the
Rylander next Saturday. Thomas
|H. Ince’s “Soul of the Beast” com-
I bines the throbbing human appeal
of the real and the charm of the il-
I lusory unreal. It is the,, tale °f
I the adventures of a little ~Cinder-,,
[ella of the circus who has centered
all her starved affection in a great
umbering elephant “Oscar.” The
motherless girl is the drudge of a
[moth-eaten cricus troune and tar*
[get for the ill nature of a bullying
step-father until one night there
[ comes a great cyclone, destroying
the entire circus. Oscar and Ruth
escape into the Canadian woods,
where they meet with astounding
adventures.
Told for the most part beneath
I the great trees of the ;'@artadiaW
! backwoods, the story is full of the
[ poesy of the out-door world as well
Jas oif dramatic thrills. This picture
is one that every member of the
[ family will enjoy to the utmost.
I But especially will the youngster,
[for what kiddie doesn’t love the
circus, with its menagerie of growl-
I iing, ferrtcious wild animals, its
| whfte-tighted acrobatic ladies do
j ing perilous stunts on trapezes high >
up in the dome of the white can-!
vas tent, its,grotesque clowns and
pink lemonade, and above all, its
lumbering elephants?
With the kiddies especially in
mind, Thomas H. Ince has produced
“Sbul of the Beast,” in which
Madge Bellamy, as the little ele
phant-girl, is seen in the midst of
the big top atmosphere. A complete
circus from wicked tigers to sacks
of peanuts, lends authentic back
ground to the photo-play.
Others in the cast are Cullen
Landjs and Noah Beerv. And on
the same program is the next-to-the
last chtipter of “The Oregon Trail.’
and a Century comedy, “Don’t Get
Fresh.”
