HAROLD LLOYD BRINGS RIOT
OF FUN IN “WHY WORRY"
G<ant 8 Feet 9 Inches in Star’s
Latest Feature Coming To
Rylander Theatre
Next Thursday and Friday are
laugh days in Americus, for it is I
then that Harold Lloyd appears at j
the Rylander in his latest feature 1
comedy “Why Worry’’ said to be I
the peer of all his comedies. One :
noteworthy feature of “Why
Worry” is a member of the cast,
John Aasen, rn army in himself
towering 8 feet 9 and a quarter ,
inches above the ground, weighing
460 pounds (exclusive of his shoes,
v inch weighed twenty pounds j
apiece), • and with hands that |
resembled a couple of Armour’s !
pet hams. 1
Variety, orig’nality and ideas'
characterize the Harold Lloyd com
edies. “Why Worry ”is like m>e
ofl his' former, and yet it is typical-1 :
ly Lloyd, because Lloyd’s! comedies :
are always funny, are always skil-j
ful, are always varied, and are al-, i
was created out of an idea. “Why i
Worry?” is pure, unalloyed farce 1 1
comedy of romance and adventure,1 i
as it can be found in the midst of ,
a red-hot South American revolu
tion. I
Harold Lloyd tickles the world. 1
Ilis joyous-hearted fun is a feather
in the hands of a happy, prankish
child of genius. It unerringly
touches the sensitive spot with that
light touch that results in peculiar, 1
th'-il’ ng sensation that produces ,
laughter. I
You may think you are tickle- :
proof, but Lloyd will find your ,
weak spot. At any minute dur- ;
ing “Why Worry?” he will spring i
some funny gag that will so closely I
touch something in your own life 1
that you will laugh in spite of yew- ■
self.
“Why Worry,” says Lloyd as he
reforms his latest tickle treatment, i
It’s kill or cure—you’ll be tickled
or tickled to death But
more glorious it is to die laughing
* Three Rousing Cheers!
Harry Leon Wilson’s comedy-
drama is now on the screen!
You’ll laugh at the experiences
t>f Ruggles, Perfect English va-
let, won from the Honorable
George in a poker Fame, he

THE COMMON LW
Coming To Rylander Soon; Con

fith Starring
“The Cqmmon Law,” the fa
mous Robert W. Chambers novel
has been made into a motion pic
ture and will be a coming attrac
tion at the Rylander. Next to the
story value, perhaps the most out
standing feature of this production
is its cast which co-stars Corinne
Griffith and Conway Tearle and
carries in their support such well
known names as Elliott Dexter,
Doris May, Hobart Bosworth, Bry
ant Washburn, Miss DuPont,
I hyllis Haver, Wally Van and
Harry Myers.
The story of “The Common Law”
is so well known that it is hariNiy
necessary to more than briefly
sketch it. It has to do with the
life of an innocent young girl,
thrown quite by chance into the so
ciety of artists, sculptors, and the
Bohemian atmosphere which sur
rovnds this class of people. She
consents to pose in the nude and
achieves a great success as a model
Great love comes to her and is re
turned by the artists whoj first saw
her possibilities, but any union be
tween them is bitterly opposed by
the artist, Neville’s family. She
finaly offers to live with her lov
er as his common law wife and
such a liason is almost effected. A
dramatic conclusion is grippingly
and realistically handled.

‘Blaze Derringer’ On. Program
With ‘Steel Trail’ And
_ Comedy

spersed with comedy, including

ger,” William Duncan in the third
chapter of “the Steel Trail,” and
“Seped Bugs,” a Century coinedy.
‘Blaze Derringtcr” is one of the

Hart won his reputation, stamping
him as one of the most poular and
foremost actors on the screen. The
pictures is chock full of action
from start to finish and presents
“Bill” in one of those roles for
which he is famous.
“The Steel Trail” is provng one
of the most popular chapter plays
ever shown by the Rylander and
hundreds are weekly following the
adventures of William Duncan and
Edith Jonhson. It is a story of
The building of a railway in the
wilerness, Duncan playing the chief
eng’neer. It is crammed with
dramatic and thrilling incidents, in
cluding a spectacular landslide, a
blast, a flood, the erection of a
giant bridge and battles and other
hair-raisng features, bound togeth
er with a pretty romance.
TODAY’S PROGRAM

der consists of “The Soul of the
Beast.” a romantic story of circus
life; William Duncan in “The Steel
Trail; and “Hold On” a Century

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
WOMEN MEN MARRY’
owe STORY
A Story of Love, Greed, Cupid- :
ity and Snobbishness of a
Beautiful Woman
“Women Men Marry” the fea
ture at the Rylander next Wednes
day is a logical and yet intensely
dramatic study of womenkind in
general and of women in particular
who are confronted with the duties
and responsibilities of matrimony.
Edward Dillion in the handling of
the picture is neither too serious
nor too satirical. With the grace
ful ease of a master he assembles
his characters and breathes life into
them. In a twinkling they are
alive with human impulses which
actuate the feminine mind and
heart and which are set in motion.
The four elements —love, false
pride, love of powder and money,
and mother love—are let loose. A
cattle royal ensues, each contes
ant using the time-honored weapon
which God has given him or her.
Woman, with her wiles and her ten
derness, her tears and her physi
cal appeal, enters the fray of life.
Man, determined and strong, but
bewildered, tries to see through
the devious ways of women ami
fails. Money, with its power daz
zles the eye rod unseats the better
judgment of both men and women.
It is then that our old iriendrand
enemy Matrimony makes her sinu
ous and seductive entrance upon
the stage, thinking that the field is
hers by easy conquest.
Emotions, cupidity, greed and
snobbishness revolve wildly as this
human drama unfolds itself. A
beautiful young woman, her out
look on lire warped by false edu
cation, is about to commit) self-sac
rifece in order to wear the empty
honors of a marchioness* coronet,
but love enters, and under the all
illuminating effulgence of the Di
vine ’assion the raging waters ?f
discord and poisoned hearts are
stilled. Such in symbol is the
theme of “Women Men Marry.”
In the cast of “women Men
Marry” are E. K. Lincoln, Charles
Hammond, Kedda Hopper, Cyril
Chadwick and Julia Swayne Gor
don. On the same program will be
shown a comedy, “Full of Pep.”

No man knows better than
James Cruze the importance of a
powerful cast. Consequently his
selections of the featured player—•
Fritzi Ridgway, Charles Ogle and
I Louise Dresser—is a recognition of
I merit of the highest caliber.
I Harry Leon Wilson's story, “Rug
s gles of Red Gap.” attained its pop
-5 ularity because of its truly human
comedy cloaking a theme of vital
importance. It is this theme which
adapted by Walter Woods and An
thony Coldeway, has developed in
to a picture story absorbvigly in
teresting, alw’ays amusing and
withal powerfully human.
