T -I- -!- Now William Fox Special Booked at Apollo Next Week William Fox's new special production, “Who Are My Parents?” based on a subject that is at present receiving much attention from women throughout the land, namely the lack of uniformity in marriage laws, will be shown next week at the Apollo. The picture proves in a dramatic way, the imperative need of Federal legislation regulating the conditions of marriage. How existing conflicting laws result i in untold sufferings, the separation of married couples and the resultant thousands of children in America who have never known a father or mother, i is graphically depicted in ‘‘Who Are My Parents?*’ which deals with the modern matrimonial problem in all of its angles.
A mysterious “Mr. X” wrote the story, relating the tragic life of a girl, who because of the opposition of her stern uncompromising father to the man of her choice, eloped to another State and was married- Both herself and her husband were ignorant of the fact that the laws of this State made such a marriage illegal. Shortly afterward her husband meets death in an automobile accident and it is not until a child is bom that she is brought to realize the. seriousness of her plight. It was directed by Son rle Dawley. The cast includes Roger Lytton, Peggy Shaw, Florence Billings, Niles Welch, Adelaide Prince and Ernest Hilliard. Other attractions will be .VI St. John in a comedy, “Out of Place,” the Fox news weekly, “Fun From the Press,” Virgil Moore’s Synco-Orches-tra and the lloosier Harmony Three. -I- -I- -IHoot Gibson Frolics In “The Lone Hand,” at Isis Hoot Gibson as a perfectly good cowpuncher gone wrong and become a lady’s man in the sight offered his admirers in “The Lone Hand” which
will be shown at the Isis the first half of next week. The story, written by Ralph Cummins Introduces Hoot as a cowboy born and bred on the ranch, and never more than ten miles away from it. He decides that he needs a rest and chooses an exclusive summer resort for his vacation. The very first day he comes upon a pretty girl in trouble, finds that she is alone in need of protection from a band of crooks. What follows proves that Hoot is as much at home in dealing with the city brand of gangsters as he Is in walloping those of the ranching country. The leading woman is Marjorie Daw, ar 1 others among th:. principals are Helen Holmes of railroad serial fame, William Welsh, Jack Pratt, Jim Corey, Hayden Stevenson and Robert Kortman. The action is of the sort that never lags and Gibson displays an entirely new assortment of thrilling stunts. “From Hand To Mouth” one of Harold Lloyd’s farces will be the comedy feature. “The Mohican’s Daughter,” a picturization of Jack London’s story
