RICHMOND "William S. Hart's latest Paramount "picture, "Three Word Brand" which will be shown at the Richmond theatre Sunday 1b notable In many ways, one of the most Interesting features be

ing that Jane Novak is leading woman. Miss Novak has appeared oppcplte the western star before, but never to "better advantage than in this instance. Her appeal, beauty and flrnraess, coupled with -her womanly sweetness serve to render her a particularly effective figure in the wild scenes that ensue as a result of the efforts, of a band of cattle rustlers to ruin a firm of ranchers in Utah. The offenders are womng hand in glove with certain political powers, and only after scjreral thrilling contests are the rogfians worsted. . " 'Another feature of interest Ite the fact that Mr. Hart plays three dltetmct roles in the picture. As father c twin

boys he Is trapped by Indians in a prologue to the story and kills Himself i rather than submit to capture after

It is another example of tho Goldwyn plan to encourage authors if successful novels and plays to wrfi.e directly for the camera. ;Mrs. Burt's western tales are the product of her personal , experiences in Wyoming. For several years, Mrs. Burt and her husband, Maxwell Struthers Burt, the poet and short story 'writer, have spent their rammers on their ranch in the west. Close contact with ranches, cowboys and mountaineers has given Mrs. Burt a keen insight into the character said customs of the country.

MURRETTE It has been several years since any retally distinguished actor of the stage has made his screen debut, and Guy Bates Post's leadership among contemporaneous players makes his film Inauguration all the more noteworthy at this time. Bel has been appearing on the speaking stage in "The Masquerader" for over six years. In that time he played in every city and town of importance in the United States, Canada and Australia, consequently, he regards Ms present picture work with a great feeling of relief over the absence of the traveling which he had to do in such great measure heretofore. His first film, "The Masquerader," a Richard Walton TulJy production for First National will be seen at the Murrette theatre next week. The actor has declared ft a privilege to hand down to posterity a portrayal with which he has become so thoroughly Identified as he has been with the leading roles in "The Masquerader," saying such a feat is reserved tn th urreen star alone.

Great-List of all, however. In Post's

belief. Is the fact that the motion pic

ture can approximate more closely

than any of the other arts plcturizations that give the beholder the) finest emotional thrills. The combination of dramatic action, composition, lighting and sequence of occurence, pre

sent a mass of appeal to the beholders' emotions which excels that of any other arts, singly or collectively.

MURRAY A romance of the orange groves of

southern California will bs shown on the screen of the Murray theatre next

week.- Its title is "Smudge," with!

Charles Ray In the starring role. It

is released 'by First National.

As Stephen Stanton, a young and

peppy college graduate, Ray has a

peculiarly appropriate role, and the picture is one of the best tn which

the star has ever appeared. The story

was written by Rob Wagner, famous

for his motion picture articles in the

Saturday Evening Post, and the cant includes Ora Carew, Charles K. French, Florence Oberle, J. P. Lockney. Blanche Rose, Lloyd Bacon and

Ralph McCullough.

Miss Carew plays opposite Ray, this being the first time that she has ap

peared as his leading woman.

The scenes are laid in the little town of Citrona, which is located in southern California, and which is the

center of the orange and lemon industry. The camera has caught vast vistas of orange groves giving the production a pictorial background of great beauty. Upon returning home from college Stephen is presented by his father with the Citizen, one of the two dally

newspapers in Citrona, and he imme

diately fnds himself the center ot a

seething vortex of politics.

In a week Stephens is the most un

popular man In town with all but one girl. While she belongs to the ranks of the enemy she goes to his

aid and helps him tot become the hero of Citrona. But there is plenty of trouble for both before the happy ending is reached.

WASHINGTON Perhaps the most remarkable storm scene ever pictured on the screen, is that which spreads terror in, and practically destroys an entire village erect

ed for "The Old Homestead," a new

Paramount picture directed with

nal success by James Cruze. Twenty powerful wind machines, aided by a fire engine, were employed in this exceptionally realistic elemental disturbance. The storm that wrecks the town of Ganzey is a humdinger. The Tillage was a good sized one of 40 or more houses and all were erected for destruction by the hurricane and deluge. Their roofs are blown off, their shutters torn away,' and their chimneys fall. But the old homestead stand3 like a rock, symbolic of the indestruc-

tahllity of the greatest institution of civilization, the home!

Twenty wind machines and a fourinch pipe line with a fire engine pumping the water from a nearby " river, over the distance of three quarters of a mile, formed part of the equipment fo- producing the greatest storm scene that has ever been filmed. According to experts, this Paramount pic ture which come3 to the Washington theatre Sunday, entailed a greater

amount of ingenuity and difficult work for all concerned than almost any picture that has been made. The four seasons of the year are represented, from spring to spring. Thus the appearance of the set had to be altered accordingly and with the final storm much of it was destroyed.

A college race is one

dinner - following a boat ot the features of "The

Young Rajah." in which Rodolph Valentino b tars for Paramount and which comes to the Washington theatre soon. Harvard wins. Valentino, as Amo3 Judd, is stroke oar. The big dinner is typical and ends in a tragedy when a rival ot the hero attacks him with a chair and missing falls headlong from on open casement to death below. June Mathis adapted the story to. 1110 screen. .! I
