speaking of the Hilly West remedies, snld:
'Arvld K. Gilstrom Is uur Idea of one fine
comedy director. Ills Ions experience, at lh
Keystone studios and his talent for devlslng
comlo situation tuny any production of
his well worth seelne. but In "The Hero,"
both the remarkable West and his director
have outdone themselves in producing a
comedy-classic, a sure enough feast of
laufhs."
la ."JIute Appeal," the Van Dyke-Art
Drama starring Jean Hot hern, there are no
vtllianr, no unpleasant situations, no 'prob
lems' and-no unwholecomeiiesa. H Is there

cial picture they have Jurt purchased, call
ed "Mother O" Mine," featuring the famous
