hailed by critics and reviewers at
tht tnoit satisfying all-American
picture that hat yet been produced.
The theme, that of a mother who

by one, it common to American
families. All the noisnancy of feel'
injr that these leave-takings arouse
m real life rave been caught on the
screen.
Rupert Hughes is the author of
this unusual tale of mother love. He
has sought to present a crois-nection
of a universal theme as applied to
an American family. All the joys
and sorrows connected with raising
a family have been, dramatized.
Each of the children grow to man
hood or womanhood with his own
individual interests, then leaves the
old nest to follow the call of his de
sires. Only their mother is left to
her loneliness and her memories.
But, as in every American family,
the young remember the old nest
and return to it
The picture was produced by
Goldwvn and was directed by Rest'
nald Barker. " Mary Alden plays the
old mother, and her performance has
been said to be a masterpiece of
screen acting.

This is stated without prejudice.
The story is ndii'ted closely from
the novel of the same name by Vic
ente Blasco Ibancz. It is an his
toricat romance. The picture tells
a tremendous story of life at white
heat and revolves around four chief
characters in the personification of
the Four Horsemen, War. Famine,
Pestilence and Death, prophesied in
the Book of Revelations. It shows
the deeply human and stirring spec

run several love episodes, while the
portions dealing with the war show

The echo of the wedding bells had

There he saw her, still wearing her

I he Child Ihou Oavest Me is a
story of force and power, with a plot
so unique that it will set tongues to

in which the savage inner man creeps
to the surface under trying circum

of rctinement attained heretofore.

"A Midnight Bell." Charles Ray's
latest picture, which will be shown
at the Kialto theater this week,
contains a unique comedy touch
which, while it lasts only for a few
fert of film, gets a prolonged laugh.
The ancient station master in the
little town of Bellport receives a tel
egram for Martin Tr-'op, a traveling
salesman, played by Ray. However,
he has such a wholesome respect for
the rules and regulations of the com
pany, that before he hands it to
Tripp, who has been standing by
him all the while, he carefully seals
the envelope.
It is one of those human, in
ttmate touches which characterize
the work of the modern successful
irector.

"A Midnight Bell," Charles Ray's
latent picture, which wilt be featured
at the Kialto theater this week, is an
adaptation of Charles lloyt's well-
known stage play and probably the

The picture tells a vivid tale of the
north.
Pearl White is seen in tlm title
role, and portrays most dcl'phtfully
the character of a young girl born
and reared amid the snow wastes of
Alaska, and who never has known
any companionship other than the
rough types who inhabit tliese re
gions.
When David Summers, a young
easterner, arrives m Alaska tn search
cf his father, the Cub quickly recog
nizes the kind of man she has in
tuitively felt existed somewhere;
and fnenship quickly ripens into a
love which is forced to fight its way
at every step against gross brutality
and worse.
The manner in which happiness
comes to the Cub and David and
retribution overtakes the guilty is
told in a series of tensely exciting,
vividly human scenes that must be
seen to be appreciated.

From Editorial in World-Herald, Sunday, September 4th:
Go to see "The Old Nest" when it comes to town. Take your children to see it; your mother, too, if you are so blessed as to
have a mother near you. It tells no story of hairbreath escapes, presents no scenes of fairy landa forlorn or of the reat
.White Way or wilderness or jungle. It is not great, as its producers admit, for its mystery or action. But it is s ifcture to
grip your attention, for all that, and to touch your heart as it is good to have it touched. It is s picture to make bettePteen and
women, and should help to bring the sunshine of happiness into many an "old nest" where an aged mother, lonely and yearning,
is waiting for the night to fall. V - -
