PAGE EIGHT BIG STAGE PLAYS AND PICTURES AT RYLANDER THEATRE NEXT WEEK ■■■ • * —■ ■ —... . t Mge 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.

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.

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.
