NOVELH PICIURE
*
Jack Holt and Agnes Ayres
Have Leading Roles In
New Film
Presenting an unusually attrac-'
tive and novel story in a manner to
delight the most blase screen fan, |
William de Mille’s Paramount pro
duction, ‘The Marriage Maker,”
will be the picture attraction at the
Rylander on Monday, with ‘The
Easter Bonnet” as the comedy on
the program.
The picture, in which .Jack Holt,
Agnes Ayres and Charles de
Roche have the leading roles, is
declared to have exceptional ele
ments of drama, humor and appeal
and aside from the interest of its
novel theme, its beauty as a pro
duction places it in the front rank.
Overhearing- a young man and I
woman discussing their love affair
which has gone awry, a Faun —-half
animal, half man—decides to take
a hand in shaping their destines.
The Faun, a creature of elemental
instincts, fails to understand or ap
preciate the conventionalities of
modern society, and presently, all
with whom he associates, or in
whose affairs he takes an interest,
begin to feel the weight of his
strange though beneficient influ
ence. Happiness ultimately comes
to them, fears are dissipated, ambi
tion satisfied and love overcomes
petty hatreds His work accomp
lished, the Faun returns to his
haunts, minus the robes of civiliza
tion he had for the time being
been forced to wear much against
his will.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC
From H. F. Kincey:—
Today I make one of the most important announcement ; I
have ever been called upon to make during my career as the man
ager of* the Rylander Theatre.
t
Arrangements have just been concluded, with JuL-; Eurtig
and the Messrs. Shubert, whereby their elaborate production of
the honeymoon farce comedy “Just Married,” written by Adelaide ;
Mathews and Anna Nichols, will be presented at the, Rylander |
Theatre Friday, Dec. 14. Although this event is 7 days distant,
the magnitude and importance of the engagement are such that I
deem it my duty to make this announcement to the theatre-goer;
of Americus and Sumter county, so that they may make their
plans well in advance to witness such an extraordinary attrac
tion.
The story of “JUST MARRIED’’ centers about a gently stiin- i
ulated young man, who gets aboard the French Line steamship !
“Lafayette”, by mistake, just before she sails from Bordeaux, '
France, for New York. There are several oddly assorted couples
aboard, old and young, married and unmarried—and sonu> honey
mooners. From the time the stimulated gentleman comes aboard,
without any effort of will on his part, they are all so bedevilled,
scrambling and messed up that there is apparently no untangling
their difficulties. There seems to be only two ways out. —either
the ship must put back to Bordeaux, or the young man must be
tHrown overboard. Things come right eventually after three
hours of hearty laughter, however, and the voyage peacefully
proceeds. (
“Just Married” ran for two solid years in New York; it was
shown for six months in Chicago; it played four months in Phila
delphia; and it just recently completed five months in Boston, the
longest engagements ever known there for a comedy.
“Just Married” comes to this city with the Broadway east and
> eduction intact en route for a tour around the world."
1 cannot commend “Just Married” too highly to my patrons.
It is a cyclone of honest laughtfer.
(Signed) 11. F. KINCEY,
Manager Rylander Theatre.

Out of the Dust’ Is Pictunzaiion
Os Frederick Remington’s
Painting
One of the most unusual pictures
of the season will be presented at
the Rylander next Saturday, “Out
of the Dust,” a dramatic American
epic, based on and inspired by the
famous paintings of Frederick
Remington. The picture is sound,
real and clean,’ a gepuine repro
duction of <■’. phase of American
life that has always most readily
lent itself to screen portrayal. In
“Out of the Dust” the portrayal
has been managed with rare skill
and with an artistic fidelity which
commands unstinted admiration.

n ' ■: “Out of the Dust”
with life on rhe frontier in the
eariy seventies. A captain in tne
tegular army is stationed at a fort
in the Indian country. while ‘his
wife tires of the monotony of life
at the post. A trapper in the neigh
borhood tempts her and induces her
to run away with him. She learns of
the man’s true villianous character
before matters have gone too far be
twen them and leaves him. The
shock of her experience unsettles
her reason and she is constantly
haunted by visions of the little
boy she has left behind' at the post.
She drifts into concert halls
where by reason of her splendid
voice, she becomes a great favor
ite among the rude but honest fold
who frequent these resorts. The
deserted husband has in the mean
time resigned from the army and
become the foreman of a ranch
One day he goes to the concert hall
to discover the treacherous trapper
and the penitent wife. Hearing that
she is still a good woman he takes
her back to his bosom, but wreaks
a bloody vengeance on the villian.

J. A. Coburn’s Minstrels, which I

I formance at the Rylander on Tue.s
--i day, Dec. 11. has been receiving un
limited praise from newspaper ofi
tics in the South, many of them
proclaiming it the best minstrel
show this year. The following is
from the Montgomery Advertiser
after its appearance in that city.
“Slim Vermont, versatile black
faced comedian and Joe McAnalan
led a corps of high class minstrels
appeared for it’s annual engage
ment Monday.
In quality Coburn’s show ranks
with the best minstrel productions
seen here this year and while the
scenery is less elaborate there is
genuine- flavor of real old time min
istrelsy which is pleasing and enter
taining.
The production is a mingling of
the old fashioned minstrel first
part with entertaining vaudeville
numbers and comedy sketches to
follow. It is patterned after the
original Coburn show. There is
much to commend it aside from the
comedy produced by Vermont.
Nate Mulroy, Hank White—there
is presented some six or eight of
the very best vocalists and ballad

The entire comedy of the show
gathers around “Slim” Vermont
who proves to the occasion of pro- j

Be’asco’s Famous Stage
Success
“If it's worth it’s worth
wailing for,” that’s what the Wai
ner Brothers seem to think in mak
ing us wait for their |W/.e produc
tion of the year, David Belasco’.-
‘Tiger Rose.” Indeed- it is manj
months’-since we read the' an
nouncement that Lenore Ulrie, the
star who created the title role n
the legitimate stage, was going to
portray the same part in the film
production.
j But it is a long rojid that haa no
j ending, and now the Rylander an
i nounces that “Tiger Rose,” a Sid
■ ney Franklin production, will be its
attraction for next 'Wednesday an 1
Thursday.
“It was in the original stage pla>
that Lenore Ulrie really rose to
great fame as “Tiger Rose,” the
wildcat child of the primitive north
land, and for two years, night af
ter night, she played to capacity
audiences on Broadway. -In this
play she proved herself an 'actress
of the highest calibre, and well
earns the title of “David Belasco’s
• greatest star.” For another year
the play travelled about the coun
try showing- at the principal cities
and meeting with a success onl.>
equalled by its run in New York
City.
According to all indications, the
screen version promises to be i
great improvement over the stage
i play, this being due to the fat
greater possibilities afforded tin

“In “Tiger Rose,” she plays a
part that permits her to run the
entire gamut of human emotions,
from the fearless child of the
woods on into the woman’s’ land
of romance where her heart is fray
ed and beaten by circumstances Be
yond her control. She lives and
fights in a world of men and in
the end she attains, her goal and
