The charm ter of "Zaza has ]*ob ably been played by more ac tresses in stock companies thafi any other role on the American stage in the last twenty five yeais, yet there have been but three out standing performances in this conn try. Mrs. Leslie Carter origwint ed' the role in New York in 1899, a ■fyw months after Mme. Rejane created the role in Paris. In the Operatic version of the play Geral dine Farrar was the star and in the first Paramount screen production of the play, made in 1915, Pauline Federick was starred. Gloria Swanson wil be the fourth “Zaza” to be given to tli'e public in a stupendous production. The picture was produced under the direction of Allr-n Dwan and is said to be the greatest production of Gloria’s screen repertoire. For lavish Settings and picturesque *n vestiture the present production of the famous French play, surpasses anything Miss Swansen has ever done on the screen.

These and other questions are an swered in Thoma '. Meighan’s hit-". Paramount picture, ".Woman Proof,” which is a coming attrit ion at the Rylander. It is a story f romance where the conditions ci natrimony are decidedly unroman ie. The story, was written by George Ade, noted humorist who ms collaborated with Meighan in several other pictures. The story i:- that of a civil en ?vieer, Tom Rockwood, played by fliomas Meighan, whose father nadc a will stipulating that al! his children must marry before they •ould inherit his huge fortune.

Rylander Has Arranged Great Program for Thanksgiving Day ‘Braodway Gold" Romance of Glittering White Way Mil BUSY UK Hl I Clever Star at Rylander Wed nesday Next, in “Ths Printers’ Devil” The old saying ‘boys will be boys’ is proved true by Wesley Barry in his latest picture, ‘The Printer’s Devil,” which will be the feature picture at the Rylander Wedncs- i day. The story is a romance .woven ’ around the humdrum workings of a | small town newspaper, ana tells of Brick Hubbard, a young printer s; uevil for the Briggsville Gazette,, ,ho gets his full snare - of fun ana; enjoyment out of eacn day s w'oik. The theme deals with Brick, who is a youth thrown upon his ,wn i esources, and who, in order ■co earn a living, works hard to fill 'the manifold duties of his pob. > When his employer decides to i close shop, he walks to the out skirts oi the town wondering how he will get along in the fut/ure. , z Here he meets Sidney Fletcher, a oung man who had been held up nd robbed near the town. Brick akes him to a boarding house and jefriends him, later introducing elm to Vivian Gates, the pietty daughter of the local banker. In order to stay in the town permanently, Sidney purchases the Gazette and reinstates Brick in his old piffftion. Then scenes rapidly follow, showing how Brick, by his quick wit and plucky spirit, saves his employer from a great deal oi hardship and unjust punishment, because Sidney is later arrested and thrown into jail on suspicion of having robbed the bank. And as this incident follows the publica tion of a scathing editorial against Banker Gates in his capacity as |.resident- of the local power com- ■ -my, things look pretty black tor him. The picture is brought to a happy finish by Brick, who by an ingenious scheme, brings the real robber - to justice, clears Sidney of ; suspicion, and is instrumental in bringim- together Sidney and Viv ian and is himself acclaimed the hero of the town.

Elaine Hammerstein and Elliott Dexter in Picture of Splendor "Broadway Gold,” with Elame Hammerstein in the role of a young show girl, and with Elliott , Dextei and Kathlyn Williams nr other im portant roles, will be the pGrac ticn at the Rylander on Monday and Tuesday. It deals with the tvpical Broadway crowd, ot working chorus girls, and ot tne types known as gold diggers. The director has skillfully used the glittering and trotny baes-, ground of New York’s night lite as. the settin for the unfolding of j , his tale, and if we may believe the; I critics he has successfully carried i out his intentions of making a pie- I ture, unusual for its dramatic ele ■ ments, and at the same time keep- I ing it from overstepping tne I bounds of probability ol possibility, i Miss Hammerstein never has | looked lovelier than she does as the : bright and particular star oi | ■■ “Broadway Gold.” Kathlyn Wll-1 Hanis is tne embodiment of a wise and thetrieks of stage door John-1 veteran in the ways of the stage . nies.

Chambers Is Unusual Attraction J The Rylander has arranged an attractive program for Thanks giving, and in "The Common Law. which will be shown Thursday and Friday, has secured the biggest pic ture available. “The Common Law’ is Robert W. Chambers’ most fa mous novel and for its picturiza tion a wonderful cast has been se cured. Among the stars are Cor inne Griffith, Ccnway Tearle, El liott Dexter, Doris May, Hobart Bosworth, Miss Dupont, Bryant Washburn, Phyllis Eaver, Hairy Myers and Wally Van. In “The Common Law” an old j problem is presented ih a new way i —-whether tb choose love or for ; tune. Beautiful Corinne Griffith I in the role of Valerie West, an ar i.tistjs model, and Conway Tearle, :js I her’ employai', are deeply in love ■ with each other but Conway’s screen parents strenuously object to the marriage and are planning ( to force their son to marry a cold- I blooded society girl whom he does ’ not love, and in this way enable i him to climb the social ladder. j The father threatens to cut his I son off without a cent if the lat i ter persists in carrying out his I plans to marry the model- In the usual “cut and dried” type of fic i tion or drama the hero would un '■ hesitatingly renounce all claims to j the paternal fortune and choose the ' course of true love. But it is just here that ‘The Common Law” dis ! plays originality and is more true jto life than its predecessors of i similar nature, for the hero in this ! case listens to the paternal ad monitions and turns his back upon ' Mr. Cupid. Nor does he alter his decision to the very end of the story. Quite true, but it is in keeping with the character, for the artist is not re generated by love until the very end of the last »eel, and men ms parents withdraw their ©position and all ends as it should. This is only one of the points wherein ’‘The Common Law” differs from previous stories built upon this theme. On the program with “The Com mon Law” will be the latest issue of Aesop’s Fablees.

Rylander Has Action Program i De Luxe For Next Saturday Os interesting note in “Skid Proof,” Buck Jones’ latest picture to be shown at the Rylander next i Saturday, is the varied presentation ;of courage. It has been the com : mon practise in pictures ’ essaying i the thrill, to offer the hero as a I sort of super steeplejack in mon key-like agility and tiger-iike- in terpiditv. In these pictures, all at ' tempting to display the limits ot human endurance and human vil- I lainy, it happens infrequently that ' mental forms of bravery are intro duced. . . ' Buck Jones, however, insists, on i running the gamut of all genre of ■ travail in his pictures. Particular !ly in “Skid Proof” does this light 1 come to light. As Jack Darwin, the irresistible racing madcap, he encounters death in a multitude of forms and phases. He dashes I along the ground, swbeps in the ) air, all against sickening odds. He renounces a brilliant future as a i movie actor because of his love for I Nadine. His luck is of the black ; est dye; his money given out. He is tempted with a bribe—a great sum of money is offered in exchange for his honor. Such are the mental ex- pressicns demanded of Buck Jones in “Skid Proof,” an automobile story packed with action from start to Jinish. On the program with “Skid Prof.” will be shown William Dun ean in the third chapter of ‘The Steel Trail” and .“Buddy at the Bat,” a funny Ceptury comedy. Program for Next Week Monday and Tuesday— “ Broadway Gold” with Elaine Hammerstein; “Kick Out,” Mer maid Comedy. Wednesday—VZesley Barry in “The Printer’s Devil”; “Spooks and Spirits-,” Comedy. Thursday and Friday—“ The Common Law,’’ by Robert c W. Chambers; Fables. Saturday—Buck Jones in “Skid Proof”; “Buddy at the Bat,” Cen tury comedy; William Duncan in “The Steal Trail.” TODAY’S PROGRAM Today’s program at the Rylander consists of Douglas Fairbanks in a revival of one of his most popu lar features, “The American,” William Duncep in the third chap ter of “The Steel Trail,” and a Century comedy, “Speed Bugs.” Near' Copenhagen a block of granite weighing more than 400 tons was lifted from the ocean bed and moved to a place miles distant*
