that she was terribly frightened, but had
every confidence In the horse, as it had
made greater leaps than the one taken in
the picture, though nvre such a dangeroua
f.ne. This thrilling scene la clearly shown
in this picture, which is the atory of an
untutorad girl, who after risking her life
for her friends in the, mountains, goes to
the city where she wins laurels for herself.
Han and Muse A most capable and well
balanced cast, including same of the best
established players in the industry, sup
ports Mary Pickford in "Pollyanna," her
first release for the United Artists cor
poration, showing at the Sun and Muse
theaters this week. The juvenile lead' Is
played by Howard Kalston, a veteran
"trouper" 15 yoars of age. William" Cnrt
ltlgh. cast as Mr. Pendleton in "Polly
anra," is an actor of 29 years' experience.
The principal feminine role, outside of
Miss Plckford's part, is that of Aunt
Polly, played by Katherlne Griffith, one
of the most capable actresses in the pic
ture world. For the first time' in several
years, Herbert Prior again appears with
Mary Piskford. - Ho is the village doctor
in "Pollyanna." a role which he handles
extremely well. The other players who
are participating in "Pollyanna" have all
had a wide and varied experience in the
amusement field, with the result that the
highest possible efficiency has been ob
tained in this story, a story sure to de
llcht the movie fans of all Omaha.
Strand Lionel Barrymore in a striking
screen version of "The Copperhead," the
play in which he scored his greatest suc
cess on the stage, will be the attraction
at the Strand theater this week. The pic
ture has bren made on an unusually largo
scale and '"Hows closely Augustus Thomas'
original a', y. The locale is Millvlllo, III.,
and the ! tlon takes place during three
Verlods that of the Mexican war, Just
before Iho civil war in 1S62, and in 1904,
Mr. Barrymoi" appears as the hero, Milt
thanks, who in his accomplishment of a
most dangerous and important mission for
President Lincoln is obliged to pose as a
traitor to his country, is disowned by his
own friend!) and family and is vindicated
only upon his deathbed. The story is one
of Intense dramatic appeal. William P.
Carleton, Doris Rankin and Richard Car
lyle are included in the large cast.
Rlalto The feudist battles of the south
are fathfully reproduced in tha big spe
cial picture, "In Old) Kentucky," featur
ing Anita Stewart, and which will be
shown at the Rlalto theater this week.
The story goes back to the old days of
the moonshiners' battles with the revenue
agents, the mountaineers not being able
to understand why they were not per
mitted to make their own whisky, and
so defied the law continually.
Then, when the government agents get
on their trail, the mountaineers banded
together and fought to the death. One of
HEKli seems to be no end of the
reserve source of genius that
Maurice Tourneur possesses.
With each succeeding picture a new
page is added to his book of success
ful productions., and now conies
"Treasure Island," that he has but
recently completed for Paramount
rtcraft reltase.
More than eight weeks were spent
in filming this production and it is
said that Tourneur used extraordi
nary care in seeing that even the
smallest details were worked out in
keeping with that wondrous story
by Robert Louis Stevenson. Film
ing a plav such as "Treasure Island"
is no small task and the finished
product is one Jhat is bound to de
light even the most critical of lovers
of the silent drama.
Bold pirates 1 bound briskly"
through scene after scene in such a
way as to leave no doubt of their sin
ister purposes. The famous "Black
Spot appears two or three times.
The typical old English tavern "The
Admiral Benbbw Inn," is produced
with its very atmosphere smacking
of the salt air of the rock bound
coast to Bristol. Then there is the
treasure ship "Hispaniola," which
lias become a "treasure thought"
locked up in' the minds of all of us
when we were young and carried
through our lives as something notv
to be forgotten.
The story of "Treasure Island"
was prepared for the screen by Ste-
phen Fox and will be released as a
; Paramount-Artcraft special. Mr.
j Tourneur selected all of the actors
' for "Treasure Island" with utmost
j care, with the result that when this
1 pictufe is shown it will be hailed as
one of Maurice Toumeur's greatest
picture offerings.

this high comedy.
"The world looked pretty good
to me on Christmas morning," said
Bryant, "and I was moved to in
dulge in a song.
"I had hardly got a good start
before my wife called from the
head of the stairs. 'You know,
Byant,' she said, 'that you are con
sidered best in the silent drama.'
There was no argument."
Three-year-old twins, Barbara and
Adele Hastings, who look as much
alike as two peas in a pod, will both
play the part of Elsie, the little girl
in the 1863 episode of "The Copper-
head," which is to be shown al the
Strand theater this week. When
Barbara becomes tired, as children
often do when working at the stu
dios, Director Maigne does not have
to delay a scene, but has Adele in
readiness. For their costumes the
twins wilt use a dress their" grand
mother wore in 1861.
