Story of Southern Sentiment at Moon Wally Reid at
StrandMack Sennett Drama at Kialto
Shirley Mason at World.
An encyclopedia of hiirh class entertainment will flash
,ii the screens of Omaha's movie houses this week. Delight
ful romances predominate, while Wallace Reid will be seen
at the Strand In a snappy comctly-drama that promises to
immortalize the "flivver."
Homely southern sentiment is the theme of "My Old
Kentucky Home," which will grace the screen of the Moon
theater this week. Monte Blue is the star. ,
Mack Sennett's first film drama since he abandoned
bathing beauty comedies is to be seen at the Rialto theater.
"The Crossroads of New York" is the title. It is replete with
drama and leavened with humor.
Then there's Shirley Mason at the World theater in an
episode of matrimonial experiences and Leah Baird at the
Empress the first four days of this week in a drama of do
mestic life, "Don't Doubt Your Wife."
Sennett Dramatic at Kialto.
Three of the icreen'i best known
beauties fill the feminine role in
"The Crossroad of New York." the
Mack Sennett special showing at the
Rialto theater this week. Thev are:
Kathryn McGuire, Ethel Grey Terry
and Mildred June. Miss McGuire
will be recalled as the lead of "The
Silent Call;" Ethel Grev Terry, from
beinsr the unloving mother of "Shat
tered Idols." is now a flroadwav mu
sical star with a full supply of tem
perament; while Mildred June is a
waitress with keen perception and
humor. There is a fourth impor
tant feminine role, filled by Dot -Farley;
but Miss Farlev for this oc
casion has had to hide her beautv
under the plastered curls of a second
rate boarding house landlady.
"The Crossroads of New York
has drama uppermost, leavened with
humor, and culminating in several
unusual thrills. Even in "Mickey"
and "Molly 0" Mr. Sennett has not
given so entirely an unusual a pro
duction as he does here.
"My Old Kentucky Home."
A storv of the homely southern
sentiment of mother ove with all the
magnificence and grandeur as only
the southern snirit can be portrayed
i seen in "My Old Kentucky
Home," at the moon theater this
week. The picture is said to abound
in thrills, sparkling romance and is
of the melodramtic type.
A voung man, son of a proud and
haughty southern widow, is finally
released from Sing Sing where he
has done a term, having been rail
roaded. Uoon hearing the strains of
"My Old Kentucky Home" he be
comes homesick.
His mother is overwhelmed at see
ing him and while en route to the
south he meets his former sweetheart
on the train.
The bov's mother has entered
"Dixie," her prize horse, in the
derby, and in one of the wildest rac
ing scenes ever witnessed, and
"Dixie wins and the boy and his
sweetheart come into their own.
"Across the Continent.''
At tact the flivver has been im
mortalized!
The familiar "tin lizzie" has suc
cessfully charged its attackers' shafts
of ridicule and thrown up a strong
defense of honor and glory!
Such is the achievement in the
new picture, "Across the Continent,"
starring Wallace Reid, at the Rialto
theater.
It involves a cross-continent race,
wherein Mr. Reid, playing the son
of Theodore Roberts, the manufac
turer of the poor-man's car, drives
the little motor, known as the
"Dent," through wind, rain, fire, and
across mountains, rivers and deserts,
on to victory, defeating all con
testants. .
Mary MacLaren, leading! woman
'ind former star, supplies the romance
and shows no little pluck by sitting
at the star's side as mechanician as
he tears over the roads at a terrific
pace. Others in the cast are Betty
Francisco.-Walter Long, Lucicn Lit
tlefield. Jack- Herbert, Guy Oliver
and Sidney D'Albrook.
Shirley Mason at World.
Shirley Mason, the Fox tar. lias
some verv odd matrimonial experi
ences in Her latest picture, entitled
"Very Truly Yours" which experi
ences are set forth on the screen of
the world theater this week. As a
hotel stenographer in a big city.
Miss Mason thinks she is in love,
then believes she isn't, and, finally
reaches the conviction' that she is.
But meanwhile what happens in
cluding three transcontinental trip
supplies action, comedy and other,
that should furnish entertainment
of the best sort.
If orediction were not such
dreadfully uncertain quantity when
applied to motion" pictures, we would
be strongly inclined to predict an
other unqualified success for Miss
Mason in this production.
In the company are Allan Forrest,
well-known leading man; Charles
Ciry. one of the most reliable of
screen artists, and Otto Hoffman.

however, she has appeared in some
of the best known pictures, jiotably:
"Just Around the Corner," and
"Prophet's Paradise."
"My Old Kentucky Home" is the
chief cinema attraction at the Moon

A range of three score years and
ten in a single picture. "Border
land," the new Agnes Ayres picture,
not only shiftes between 1850 and
1922, but there is a 70-year difference

Charles Murray,
Star Comedian,
Quits Screen
Numbered amongst the most popu
lar and certainly one of the very best
known actors of the screen, Charlie
Murray, for six years a headliner in
Mack Sennett comedies, makes his
tmal appearance on the screen for an
indefinite period in Mr. Sennett's
comedy-melodrama, "The Crossroads
of New York," at the Rialto theater
this week.
Charlie Murray, whose skill as an
actor is by no means limited to hi
larious comedy, proves this without
doubt in the important part he plays
in the story, the leading characters
of which are portrayed by Ethel Grey
Terry, Herbert Standing, Noah
Beery, Robert Cain and Ben Deely,
who were specially engaged for their
recognized ability to give a legiti
mate rendering of a legitimate plot.
"The Bonded Woman," Betty
Compson's forthcoming picture, will
be different in at least one respect.
Most movie shipwrecks happen at
night, but in this picture Director
Philip Rcsen says the shipwreck will
be seen in full daylight.
Cullen Landis
May Desert Screen
for Stage, Is Report
Cullen Landis, attractive young
screen juvenile, has received an of
fer to appear on the New Y'ork
stage and is considering it seriously.
He appeared at the Philharmonic
auditorium, Los Angeles, recently
in "The Iron Judge," a dramatic
playlet by Joseph A. Jackson, and
registered a decided hit. He was
featured in "Watch Your Step," a
recent picture, and will soon be
seen in Rupert Hughes' "Remembrance."
Connie in Chinatown
Constance Talmadgc has a China
town all her own!
Perhaps it isn't just such a China
town as converges around Mott and
Pell streets in New York, nor does
it. reach out its tcnacles, octopus-like,
as do the streets of San Francisco's
Chinatown, yet it has a charm the
others lack.
For it is the exact replica of a street
in Hongkong, ami was built for
scenes in the picture chosen as Con
stance Talmadgc's latest starrintr ve
hicle. "Fast is West," which Sidney
Franklin is directing for Joseph M.
Schcnck to be released through As
sociated First National.
One of the Chinese streets runs the
full length of the lot. Shop for shop,
tea house for tea house, with even
ihe signs lettered as in the original
street, there is an atmosphere of stark
reality about it. Chinese red, the un
fathomable Mfng tones and riots of
color are everywhere the dragon lifts
its head.
To cap this, Chinese labor has been
employed as much as possible so up
and dow n the long, narrow road they
patter, shedding their borrowed civil
ization tike so many garments, until
they too seem an inherent part of the
transplanted street.

MUSI C
It is given to few young women
stars of the screen to achieve within
a comparatively brief period so loyal
and numerically formidable a per
sonal following a. is possessed by
Shirley Ma-on. One reason undoubt
edly is that she never is seen in a
picture dealing with the so-called sex
problem; that her stories are always
clean and wholesome in plot and uni
versally appealing in sentiment.
Recall her work, for example, in
"Merely Mary Ann," "Jackie," "Love
Time," "The Mother Heart," "Little
Miss Smiles," and, recently, "The
Ragged Heiress.'
Recall her work in these, plus an
art as dainty as herself, and the
secret of her success is out. In her
latest production 'Very Truly
Y'ours," she is to play at the World
theater this week.
Reginald Denny, who boxed his
way into the limelight as the star in
Universal's "Leather Pushers' " .se
ries, will have the stellar role in "The
Kentucky Derby," work on which
wilf shortly begin at Universal City.
