'stunning costumes worn, ft-is a drama of society life with the plot hinging on thd romantic elevation of serving a maid to a high place ion the social register through'mar 'riage. Such famous beauties as Marie 1 revost, Norma Shearer and Gei jtrude Astor are among those who display the beautiful wardrobes that are a feature of the picture. I Misses Prevost, Shearer and As tor are three distinct types of fem inity, and accordingly, the Clothes I each weara are entirely different 'in styles. Marie Prevost's charm ing girlishness sets off admirably a bouffant-skirted frock of gray ratin, opening over a petticoat of ] accordion pleated rose chiffon. A gray lace panel down the front with ; innumerable loops of satin, and a [demure bodice with gray lace col-' ‘ lar forming a small cape in the : back add finished with many flat-, i taring loops of gray satin edging] ’the sleeves ana aown tne front of} the bodice, describes only one of I the many costumes she wears. J Norma Shearer, whose beauty is! Grecian in type, chooses the dig [ nity of long lines, flowing panels] and ingenious drapings, while Ger trude Astor’s stately height permits ' her to wear the striking costumes I belonging to the’ tall woman. One i chic gown of black canton falls in) narrow, slender lines to the anklesi and is untrimmed except for heavy I silk fringe which falls from the Wi lder part of the long tight sleeves, ' I to the floor, a narrow crepe girdle ] | confines the gown at the hips. ■I .e | ‘COVERED WAGON’ COMING ; ’ x What will be of intense interest -1! to all Americus is the announce-] ment that “The Cpyered Wagon” is: la**corhing attraction at the'Rylan-] ■ der. “The Covered Wagon” is play ing legitimate theaters as a road ’[show and is carrying a srxteen :, piece orchestra; it will play Ameri- . ■jeus on February 9. “The Covered, Wagon” is a Paramount production of gjmerson Hough’s famous noyel, [and lias been given a great cast in-1 a lading J.

Extraordinary Fire Scenes And Healt interest in Picture Monday “T'ne Midnight Alarm,” the at traction at the Rylander on Mon day, has been predicted by those who have seen it as destined-to be the “smash’ of the season. There is not only a 'heart-throbbing, hu man interest story which winsuntold I sympathy from the audience, but I there is one of the greatest and most sensational fire scenes ever 1 ilmed. Packed into the fire episode is a situation remarkable for its sus : pense. The heroine is imprisoned iin a steel time-locked safe. The j office building is in flames, and | while roofs crash she is rescued by : the use of an oxy-acetylene torch j which burns away of egress thru the steel walls. An exciting element which runs throug h the story are those scenes which deal with crooks of the un derworld. One of the leading roles is that of "Chaser,” a young crook. It is a sympathetic part played by Cullen Landis! Alice Calhoun plays the leading role, which is a dual character; she plays the mother in the first, part and her own daugh ter later. Percy Mormont is east as Harry Westmore, a part to which this excellent actor is espe cialy well fitted. On program with “The Mid night Alarm" will be shown a I Christie comedy, “Yankee Spirit.” Program for Next Week Monday—“ The Midnight Alarm,” special production; “Yankee Spirit,” [comedy. j Im’s'U'v and JVednesday—“The , Virginian”; “Brilliantino the Bull | Fighter,” comedy. Thursday and Friday—Mae Mnr [ ray, in “Fashion Row'”; Aesop’s Fables. Saturday—Buck Jones, in “Sec ]ond Hand Love”; Willia n Duncan iin "The Steel Trail”; “So Long Buddy,” comedy. HE VIRCMIAN IS IBS Mffl Picturization of Famous Play At Rylander Tuesday And Wednesday In the back of everyone's mil d lingers the memories of ,mighty deeds and throbbing loves the things that make up great books and .plays. Such a story is “‘The Virginian,” the Christmas attrac tion at the Rylander. Under the spell of color, action and setting such as only the moving picture makes possible, one literally lives the story of Trampas, with Molly, Steve and the Virginian, the great est western character ever given to .iterature. Kenneth Harlan heads the cast, which includes such noted actors as Florence '‘Vidor, Russell Simpson, Pat O’Malley and Raymond Hat ton. When it was first announced that “The Virginian” would' be produced on the screen, people were dubious about it. So many great stories, so many classic masterpieces have been butchered and ruined by film ing that those who have loved Ow en Wister’s great story feared that the picture might not do it justice. But critics who have seen it de clare that the screen version-is bet ter than the book, which may seem a startling statement when it is realized" that “The Virginian” has | been for twenty years the supreme .masterpiece of the West. The situ ations, which in cold type have thrill ed millions are declared to be more than realized in the picture. Against most magnificent natural backgrounds, this mighty drama is enacted by a cast so good that the story might have been written for them. Theodore Roosevelt, who was a great friend of Owen Wister, spoke in the highest terms. of the book, endorsing it as a vivid and true pic ture of the West. It is unfortu nate that he could not have lived to see the picture, for hfe would most certainly have found it a liv ing; breathing visualization of the stbry that he loved so well. 1 he Virginian ’ will be shown at the Rylander next Tuesday and Wednesday with “Brilliantino the Bull Fightdr,’ ’ a comedy as the add ed attraction. French styles appear in Contan tmople almost as soon as they do in Paris. / P- ' “ ‘ 1 Dazzling! Daring!
