Beautiful Women, Beautiful
Clothes Play Their Part
in Picture
Who are the wanters? What do
they want? The world ~s full of
them. Some want clothes and jew
els and happiness. Others have
that happiness and still want some
thing else. There are wanters who
want high life; others money; some
a baby’s kiss; a mother’s caress. All
the wanters, their desires, their am
bitions, are pictures in a drama that
never lets up—it is titled The
Wanters” and is the attraction at
the Rylander next Thursday and
Friday. •
A thrill, a laugh, a tear and some
thing to take home to think about.
Motion pictures are essentially en
tertainment, but when they com
bine these eminent ingredients with
a lesson that registers they reach
their greatest achievement and ful
fill the highest mission of the
screen.
a completely-satisfying mo
tion picture do critics call ‘‘the
er#,” an arraignment of snobbish
ness and a glorification of romance,
doling with life, gripping the at
tention through its true reflection
oC reality.
*?‘The Wanters” sets out to de
throne the old bromide that real hap
pjpess lies in poverty, and at the
end of the picture this old story
book theory is shattered, but also
is the popular belief that happiness
necessarily goes with riches.
Marie Prevost, as the heroine, is
s®n as a “wanter” whom in order
to. be surrounded by the luxuries she
craves, takes a position as maid in
the home of a wealthy New York
family. The dramatic plot hinges
around her marriage to a young
member of the family, their ef
forts to humiliate her, the parting
of the lovers and their ultimate
happy reunion.
-Others in the cast are Huntley
GOrdon, Noma Shearer, Gertrude
AStor. Lincoln Stedman, Hank Mann
Fazenda and Vernon Steele.

BABY PEGGY IN
FEMPICTURE
Adorable Child Actress Makes
1 Starring Debut in “The Darl
inf of New York”
It’s astonishing the amount of
drama that can be woven around
the life of a little child, logical
drama that has a deep, human in
terest appeal; more astonishing it
is to find a child whose personality
can be moulded perfectly into in
tensely dramatic situations.
JJaby Peggy Montgomery is al
most literally tossed through many
reels of drama in her first feature
production. ‘‘The Darling of New
York,” which plays at the Rylander ,
on Wednesday. So carefully has
the baby stip: been handled through-1
out the picture, that there is never!
a moment in the play when the in
terest lags. Attention is always |
centered on her or her rag doll'
which has such an important signi
ficance in the unfoldment of the
story.
, The story reflects the experiences
bi a four year old baby girl, of Ital
ian and American parentage. The
a-hilil i mtFotfdced as
WAttfMvniHhmian
in Italy. The mother entrusted her
nurse yvith the care of her child, re-;
questing that the baby be taken to
her grandfather in America.
Dramatic menace is immediately
woven into the story, for at the
dock the nurse discovers that she
has forgotten her money—with the
few minutes. Fran
tically the nurse asks a stranger to,
watch the child while she hujrjea
away foj-her fnoney. The stKihger
carried the little girl aboard the
ship, into the steeiagg, yvhile ,the
gates are closed to the nurse, who
arrives too late to rescue the child.!
Then events fly thick and fast. |
There is plenty of comedy to
balance the drama and the entire
picture is filled with entertainment
A sensational fire scene is intro
duced as the anti-climax. Included
' in the cast are Glayds Brockwell,
Sheldon Lewis, Betty Francisco and
■ Max Davidson.
On the program with ‘‘The Dar
i ling of New York” will be shown
a comedy, "Bride’s Gloom.”
“RUPERT OFHENTZAU”
COMING TO RYLANDER
Is there anyone who did not read
' and enjoyed Sir Anthony Hope’s
• Prisoner of Zenda and its enthrall
; ing sequel. ‘Rupert of Hentzau” of
, course there may be some such, but
it is hard to believe. Following
close on the heels of the book were
the stage versions in which many
' prominent actors took part, and
now best of .all come the cinemas
! |‘The Prisoner of Zenda” having
' | been shown some time ago and
' | "Rupert of Hentzau” an early at
-1 traction at the Rylander. v
While “Rupert” is somewhat of
'•a costume picture, it has an unus
ually strong story with many dra
j matic situations, and although Di-
• rector Victor Heerman gave much
• ime and attention to the costuming
of the piece, and no money was
spared in making them perfect in
• every detail, he devoted the great
er part ,of his energies to the trans-
i fernng of the romance and adven
\ ture of the author’s story to the
’ screen. For after all, the import
' ant thing in a photoplay is not how
•| he characters are dressed, but what
they do and how they do it.
It is said that never before in
history has such a cast of cele
brities appeared in any, one produc
tion as may be seen in “Rupert of
Hentzau.” Elaine Kammerstein,
Bert Lytell, Lew Cody Bryant
.Washburn, Hobart Bosworth, Claire
Windsor, Irving Cummings, Mit
' chell Lewis, Elmo Lincoln, Mar-
■ iorie Ddw,‘ A,dpjph Menjou, Nigel
De Bruflier and Gertrude Astor take
prominent parts.

Story
The Hollywood Writer’s Club
whose membership role includes
many of America’s most famous au
thors, dramatists, actors and direc
tors has pronounced Douglas Mac
i Lean’s latest starring vehicle, "Go
|ing Up,” the best picture ever pre
■ viewed in the club’s picturesque Hol-
I lywood quarters.
“Going Up” was shown to the
“Writers” on the regular "pre
view ight.” it being the custom of
the club members to assemble one
night during each week to view new
screen productions. From the first
reel to the last the audience was
kept in spasms of laughter and the
| comments at the conclusion of the
showing were the most enthusi
astic ever brought forth by any
victure presented at the club For
Mr. Mac Lean received a flood of
several days following the preview,
telegrams and letters of apprecia
tion and congratulations.
Because of the fact that the Writ
ers’ Club is composed of one of the
most critical circle of authors and
i artists in Americ, the unaimi
mous praise of the organization is
regarded by those in the motion pic
ture profession as the highest com
pliment that may be accorded any
production. Among those present
at the preview were such cedebritics
as Mrs. Leslie Carter; William De-
Mille; Thomas H. Patton, Holly
wood representative of Will Hays;
Theda Bara; Charles A . Brabin;
Tom McWamara. creator of the Us
Boys cartoons; Clara Barenger and
Josephine Quirk, senario writers,
Waldemar Young, president of the
club, and many others.
“Goging Up” is the attraction at
the Rylander on Monday and Tues
day with a eomedy, "Done in Oil.”
While ‘Going Up” has laughing
until the tears course down the
cheeks, the heart goes pit-a-pat at
the thrilling love story that rides
high and far on the plane of roma
ance driven'by Douglas Mac Leap.,
As the famous author of the popular
book of flyirig, he makes the role
of Robert Street unusually vibrant
and impressionable.

POLA NEGRI COMING
IN “SPANISH DANCER”
Announced for an early showing
at the Rylander is Pola Negri*h la
test picture, a Paramount produc
tion, "The Spanish Dancer.” For
the first time since coming to Amer
ica, Negri is the Pola of “Passion,”
but never has the flashing jewel ap
peared in such a magnificent set
ting. It cost a fortune to make
and it’s said to be one picture in a
thousand.
The old Spanish gowns worn by
lola Negri in the picture constitute
a veritable fashion display. Some
of, the costumes worn in the scenes
taken in the gypsy camp show the
strong influence w’hich the Moorish
invasion exercised over Spanish life
even after it had been pepulsed
Later in the story, when Pola Ne
gri as Maritana, the gypsy girl, be
comes the wife of Don Cesar, she
■wears costumes which for sheer
'beftuty have probably l>e.en
equalled by the gowns of. j,any
other period in history.
Included in the cast* with Misss
Negri are Antonio Moreno, Kathlyn
Williams, Wallace Beery, Gareth
Hughes, Adolph Menjou'and Robert
Agnew.
