Caine’s powerful novel, at the Rylander Wednesday and Thursday.
YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR
THIS
The Pola Negri of “Passion’’
has returned. Not quite—but her
role of Claire in the Paramount
picture, “Shadows of Paris,” com
ing to the Rylander, is not unlike
the famous stage character, in fact,
the author of “Shadows of Paris”
also wrote “Kiki.” Charles de
Roche, Adolphe Menjou and Hunt
ley Gbrdon are featured in support.
Herbert Brenon, who made “The
Spanish Dancer,” directed the pro
duction and it’s claimed to be a
vertfeble landslide of emotion.

“NAME THE MAN” MORE »
THAN A MOTION PICTURE
NAME THE MAN MOVIE
Adaptation of Hall Caine’s ‘The
Master of Man’ Story of Life,
Passionate, Thrilling
Leading European critics do not
mince words in their praise of Vic
tor Seastrom; they bail him as the
greatest of all directors. Sea
storm’s first American work is com
pleted, and now American critics
are saying practically the same
thing.
The first picture is ‘‘Name the
Man,” from Sir Hall Caine’s novel,
“The Master of Man,” booked for
the Rylander next Wednesday and
Thursday. The production is bi,?,
with the bigness of life itself. It
sweeps from scene to scene, charg
ed with strong, elemental passions
It has intensity—and fury. Yet
tiie man who made it is gentle
mild mannered, almost meek. He
is polite to the merest extra; po
litely firm with haughtiest of
stars.
Whether or not a woman shor.ld
forgive everything in the man she
loves is the underlying theme of
“Name the Man.” Whether her love
should triumph and her pride be
submerged no matter what he has
done, or whether she should let
him suffer out his own salvation
is the problem presented.
It tells the striking story of a
young judge whose first act of of
fice is to pass fludgent on a girl he
himself wronged. The courtroom
scene, which is one of the intensely
dramatic incidents in the story,
calls for some of the greatest dra
matic acting which has ever reached
the American screen—with a man
—human, erring, whose deep and
lasting affection for one girl is pit
ted in combat with his pledge to
duty which calls him to say “you
must die!” to a frail, sweet girl
who owes her downfall to him, her
judge.
The cast is a superlative one, in
cluding Conrad Nagel, Mae Busch,
Patsy Rpth Miller, Hobart Bos-
Worth; ‘Criighton Hale, Aileen
Pringle and Lucien Littlefield.
MANY FILNI STARS
PLM IN ‘DESIRE’
Picture At Rylander Tuesday
Has Unusually Strong
Cast
•• */» ’T
“Desired a'special Metro produc
tion, is the feature picture at the
Rylander on Tuesday. It is de
clared to be a society drama of the
highest type and embodies engag
ing entertaining qualities along
with tense dramatic action.
The story deals with two wealthy
young people of the best families
about to be married. At the altar
they realize that they are not in
love with each other and flee. Lat
er the young woman marries her
chauffeur, separated from her fam
ily and finishes her life in great
unhappiness. The young man, dis
consolate, meets a charming girl
and the tragedy in his life dies to
give place to a great love.
“Desire” is a poignant story cal
culated to stir the sluggish blood of
any blase audience and to send
them away refreshed and with a
keen instinct into the “wheels with
in wheels” which go to make up
life. One of the highlights of the
picture is a great fashionable wed-

BBFL HORMAND FILII
Audiences Assured Os Real
Laughing Treat In “The
Extra Girl”
What promises to be the comedy
treat of the season comes to the
Rylander on Monday when Mabie,
Normand appears in “The Extra
Girl, her newest screen vehicle
which was written especially for
her by Mack Sennett. “The Extra
Girl” tells a live story of today,
the trials and tribulations of a
movie-struck girl wo lands in the
heart of Hollywood and endeavors
to make a living without becoming
a screen star.
Miss Normand appears as Sue
Graham, the country girl, who lands
rightside up with care in the great
est of movie colonies and finds
enough thrills to stock a half-dozen
stories. Miss Normand is the cen
tral figure in one of the most ex
citing and laughable comedy-dra
mas ever camerad, it is said.
One laugh-roaring scene after
another follows with a raft of
thrills thrown in for good measure,
the whole story telling an unusual
plot. The cast is one of the best
that Mack Sennett could assemble,
and Mr. Sennett knows all the ac
tors and actresses by their first
names, and he knows their ability.
It was therefor only natural that
Miss Normand received unusual
support in the film enactment of
“The Extra Girl.”
In the star’s support are Ralph
Graves, George Nichols, Anna
Hernandez, William Desmond and
others.
"THE HUNCHBACK” COMING
A real treat is in store for Ameri
cus theatergoers when “The Hunch
back of Notre Dame” appears at
the Rylander. This attraction ha.-
been proving a sensation the coun
try over, and the following criti
cism is taken from the Memphis
Commercial Appeal, where the pic
ture recently played for an entire
week.
Colossal in outline, stupendous ii.
completion, dynamic is its dramatic
intensity and marvelous in the min
ute handling of its tremendous big
, scenes, all this and more can be
said of “The Hunchback of Notre
Dame,” the great Universal pic
ture production which opened a
week’s engagement last night
the Lyric Theater. Not only for
its size but also for the thorough
ness of its details is this picturiza
tion of Victor Hugo’s novel one
of the finest examples of motion
picture art ever shown here. Other
pictures may have been greater in
some one feature, but none has
combined more evenly in their
greatness all features that com
posed it.
If you marvelled at the mastery
in the working out of the colossal
( scenes in “Tolerance” you will suf
fer no loss of admiration for the
epic treatment of “The Hunch
back.” Or if you were thrilled to
•e depths of your emotional selves
by the tensity of “The Birth of a
Nation, ’ you need not want for
thrills in the manner in which
Hugo s imagination is endowed
with life. Neither can you compare
the realism of “The Covered Wag
on ’ to “The Hunchback of Notre
Dame” with any sort of slighting
reference. This latest example oi
camera art combines the elements
or greatness in other pictures very
evenly and very conmprehensively

SATURDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 8, 1924
be seen at the Rylander on Friday,
March 14th, giving a matinee per
formance at 3:30 and v.ght at 8:<!0.
One of the features cf the show
this year is the Saxoland Five, the
quintet being composed of Carl
Cameron, Rody Jordan, John
Bourke and Garner Newton, and cf
all the musical acts on the stage,
today perhaps none succeed in
arousing the enthusiasm these sax
aphone “specialists” enjoy.
Negro dancing is one of the most
essential elements in the making of
a minstrel show, and this form cf
dancing is to be found in the pres
ent season’s performance. These
dances are virtually all the lineal
descandants of the eccentric dances
of the colored race. It was on the
plantations of the old South where
they first attracted the attention
which has been theirs ever since
and virtually every blackface min-
strel dance of today can be traced
to a set of steps originated by the
slaves of the ante-bellum days.
Negro dances have thsir best ex
ponents in the personnel of the Al
G. Field show and the old steps
have been added to ana embellished
appropriately by the genius of crea
tive terpischore, William Doran.
Among the clever dancers in th?
company are Leo Doran, Garner
Newton, Eddie Uhrig, Frank Miller.
Sherman Dern, Warren Dungan and
James McSherry.
About 85 per cent of all the fires
that destroy barns in the rural dis
tricts are caused by lightning.
In 1923 there were 20,856 news
papers in the United States.
The center of negro population in
the United States is in the extreme
northwest corner of Georgia.
The pulse of a new-born infant is
from 130 to 140 beats a minute.
In adults it is 70 to 75.
