FRIDAY. The possibilities and dramatic values of modern surgery have been little utilized before by motion-picture producers, but OUb Turner, producing director of "Damon and Pythias" and "Changed Lives," has realized the wonderful opportunities in hospital work, and In "The Flash" ha3 presented a drama which, for thrills, far exceeds In realism and gripping Interest all the wild-animal and explosion features which have been offered In the past to motion-picture devoteeB. THURSDAY. The stirring scenes of "Ridgeway of Montana" were filmed by Henry McRae and his company of 101 Bison players in the forests of the Sierra Nevada mountains on the shores of Bear Lake, California. The wonderfully realistic blizzard scenes were taken with the mercury In the thermometer hovering around the zero mark. McRae and his company started out frym Hollywood during a howling blizzard and took train at the foot of the

lountaln country. A log cabin had

(been prepareu on the mountain side for the company and all jumped on horses and made their way through

the howling storm up the steep slope

upon arrival at Bear Lake. WEDNESDAY. "The Awaited Hour," two-reel Imp melodrama, depicts vengeance of a bank employe. In the filming of "The Awaited Hour," a two-reel Imp melodrama, to be released on Feb. 5, with Violet Mersereau and William Welsh in the leading roles, views of a real state's prison are shown. Actor convicts roam among the prison factories and the great quadrangle. In the distance armed guards pace the parapets making their rounds. Through loopholes in the little boxes on the walltop other guards lever their guns on

the prisoners below, waiting for the always expected moment when a con

vict ranks to make a dash for liberty. MONDAY. "Lure of the West," two-reel Eclair Western drama, relates adventures of three members of one family living in different American citl-. Western boy shoots master crook in underworld resort and leaves latter for dead, only to learn later that the crook has recovered and been sent to prison. Home calls us all bacg sooner or later. No matter how far one has strayed from the family fireside, and despite all the attractions of life in a great city or in foreign climes, one succumbs at last to the subtle callball from the friends, the relatives and the scenes familiar to one in earlier years. Youthful memories never fade and first sweethearts are best of all. The old oak tree, the swimmin' hole, the fragrant haymow, the shanty by the "crick" all the old familiar scenes recure to every one at the most unexpected times. In the world's pleasure places, along Broadway, on the boulevards of Paris, in London's Strand or Berlin's Unter den Linden no matter where one may be, there is no place in the loyal one's heart of hearts like the old home town, where midnight cabarets and gay white ways are unknown.

tains such prominent stars as Norma Phillips, the Mutual girl, Arthur Donaldson as Gilbert Blye, the man with the black van dyke, and J. W. Johnstone as Ned Warxr. Tv story is original In every way and contains enough action to satisfy everybody.
