'LILIES Os FIELR-
New First National Film Is a
Worthy Successor to “Black
Oxen’’
Corinne Griffith ai d Conway I
Tearle had a mark to shoot at when
they began ‘‘Lilies of the Field."
They wanted to repeat their suc
cess in “Black Oxen” and by all the
tokens this “Lilies of the Field” in
going to make a name for itself a
an audience picture and a box
office attraction. It’s just there in
every scene and title.
The theme will intrigue women
till the ei d of time—those “lilies
of the field that toil not, neither do
they spin, yet Solomon in all hi
glory was not arrayed like one of
them.” A paraphrase, but a telling
one. And John Frances Dillon gave
the story a direction that rivals hi.-,
handling of “Flaming Youth.”
Briefly it tells of Mildred Har
ker, married to a man who shares
tittle of he appreciation for the
worth-while things of life, but wl >
is lured by those same “lilies that
toil not.” Lacking the companion
ship of her more material husband
Mildred finds compensation in the
love of her little daughter. Then
comes the cruel break. Walter
Harker divorces her on an ui just
charge, gains custody of the chill
and marries a very designing albeit
a comely lily. And Mildred, the
victim, is left to build her life anew.
There is a dramatic sceife when
.‘he hears that her child has died,
and feeling the utter hopelessness
of life she is about to accept the
easy alternative when Louis Willing,
wealthy, cultured and devoted to
her, proves the means of restoring
her child and offers her his name
and his love.

Oxen” with the following cast.

Pretty Star Has Wonderful Role
in New Film “Six
Days”
Olive Kingston, a scheming and
extravagant society woman, with
her beautiful daugher Laline enc
gages passage on the “Berengaria”
sailing for England. Olive s hus
band, suddenly ruined financially,
has coinmitted suicide, leaving his
wife and daughter but a small an
nuity to live on. On the same boat
is Sir Charles Chetwyn, who comes
of an old and wealthy English fam
ily.
Laline, tempted by Sir Charle’s
wealth and weakened by his con
stant pleadings, finally consents to
marry him. Soon after, he is
ordered abroad on a secret mission
i and suggests that Laline ai d her
' mother accompany him as far as
Paris. There Laline comes face to
face with Dion Leslie. They fall
! in love at first sight. It develops
i that Dion was the best pal of La
' line’s brother who was killed in the
war.
I Laline realizes that she is not
being fair to either Dion or Sir
Charles. She and her mother then
leave Paris to visit the battlefields
near Rheims. Dion follows her
there and together they set out,
guided by Pere Jerome, an old
1 priest, to find her 'brother’s grave.
I After visiting the cemetery,' Pere
I Jerome takes them to a long lire:
lof deserted trenches. At Laline’s
request, they enter an old dugout
in which she glimpses a German,
helmet hanging on a spike. She
cakes hold of it to remove it and
a loud explosion occurs and tons
of earth and timber crash down
ward, imprisioning them in the dug
out and its three other compart
ments.
Dion and Pere Jerome try to dig
through some of the debris, but af
ter hours of work, there is another
cave-in and all hope is given up of
gaining their freedom. With the
food they brought and the carrtles,
they may live six days before suff >-
eating. Realizing their danger and
also their love for each other, La
line and Dion ask the old priest to
marry them, which he does.
Dion and Laline try every means
of escape and in their wanderings
through passageways, made possible
by another cave-in, they become
separated. Both, however, finally
come to ar.' opening. Laline is res
cued and taken by her mother back
to the Chetwyn Manor. . Believing
that Dion is dead, Laline and Sir
Charles are quietly married.
But after endless difficulties
Dion, too, has maraged to escape
from their trench prison. Days
pass before his mind becomes clear,
but finally the memory of Laline
returns and he hurries to claim her
from Sir Charles.

wyn Is An Unusual Picture
The all-star cast at one time was
considered somthi: g new in the pic
ture world. But now it has become
the accepted thing with motion pic
ture audiences. F iroducers in their
efforts to make :i higher class of
pictures have seen the necessity of
selecting the best players available.
Charles Braibin, in his production
of Elinor Glj’n’s sensational story.
“Six Days,” coming to the Rylander
Theatre next Thursday ana Friday
spent more th;n a month in choos
ing players for the cast.
Corinne Griff ith and Frank Mayo,
who head the brilliant list, have long
been stars in their own right. Mayo
started pictures in 1912, playing
the leading role in a picture produc
ed in England. Corinne Griffith
made her bow to the screen in 1917,
when she played the feminine lead
in a picture called “Bitter Sweet.”
The remainder of the cast consists
of a number of the best-known and
experienced players in motion pic
tures. Myrtle Stedman qualified as
a gifted actress in 19>12, and for
several years was starred in three
reek features. Maude 'George, whose
ability as a dramatic, actress was
never more evident than in the in
terpretation of one of the leading
roles in von Stroheim’s “Foolish
Wives,” has an important part in
‘‘Six Days.” Spottiswoode Aitken
and Charles Clary have appeared in
pictures since 1910.
Claude Kfing ah s had less picture
experience, but has a long and dis
tinguished stage career. He first
came to this country from England
in 1919 to play opposite Ethel
Barrymore in “Declasse.” He made
his debut before the camera with
Pola Negri in her first phootoplay
filmed in America. King is ad
mirably suited to the role he poi
trays in “Six Days.”
Lots of people ought to be glad
they are anywhere.

Reward of $5,000 Offered for
Hero in “Wild Bill
Hickok”
“Five thousand dollars reward
for Bill’s heart!” But is was neb
Bill Hart’s heart, it was “Wild
Bill” Hickok’s heart.
In the old days when “Wild Bill”
was the most feared of all peace of
ficers, an enemy selected eight des
perate characters and offered them
$5,000 to kill "Wild Bill” and
bri'fg in his heart. The reward was
tempting and the badmen set out
in earnest fashion, intent on col •
lecting.
They met “Wild Bill” oq the To
peka train and started shooting.
Four of them remained there and
the other four returned to Abilene
and announced their abandonmen',
of the untoward mission.
William S. Hart returns to the
screen in “Wild Bill” Hickok,” a
Paramount picture coming to the
Ry larder theatre next Saturday. The
romantic story of the noted two-gun
man is one of the most thrilling pic
tures he has ever made. Mr. Hart
wrote the story. The ‘supporting
cast includes Ethel Gray Terry, Rath
leen O’Connor, James Farley.
Jack Gardner, Carl Gerard, Naida
