This film is probably the most popular of all her productions and is now taking audiences by storm everywhere in Ca- nada. The scene of the picture is laid in Glasgow and in the Highlands of Scotland. Betty Balfour takes the part of Christina, a vivacious little Scotch Iassie whose life carries her through a series of romance, Hilarious and dramatic occurrences, before she finally wins her way to happiness. The story of "Wee MacGregor's Sweet- heart" was written by a famous' Eng- lish author, J. J. Bell, and is well known in different parts of the world. Betty Balfour's performance in this, her latest success, shows why she is now being termed by the motion pie- ture world as a new Mary Pickford, an English Douglas Fairbanks.and a, feminine Charlie Chaplin. Those who wish to revel in youth, romance and tiproarious fun for an hour and a half will be sure not-to miss, one of the outstanding pictures of the season. Wilson who covered himself with glory in the World War as a French and American flier and who has since established himself as the greatest stunt aviator in the world, has become one of the most popular screen stars in the last few, months by virtue of the sheer entertainment values of his pictures produced in Hollywood by Van Pelt-Wilson Productions and, dis- tributed throughout the world by Film Booking Offices. In "The CloudHtid- er," which comes to the Crystal The- atre next week, the stunt king ac- complished more thrilling stunts than he has ever packed into one of his preceding productions;. Among the many big stunts he achieves is one in which he rides high into the air and, while standing on the top of his plane, adjusts a landing wheel to the helpless plane of the girl which rides just above him. It was while taking this thrill scene that Wilson missed his footing and almost plunged to his death hundreds of feet below. The {Humor and romance of a. Eur, (mean circus provides the colorful, in- teresting background for "He Who Gets Slapped," the Victor Seastrom production which opens at the Beaver Theatre here Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This unusual picture, adapted from the play by the noted Russian author, Leonid Andreyev, is set in the locale of a, Continental hippodrome, with a clown as a central character. Interest surrounds the production because of the fact that Victor Sea- strom, the prominent Swedish direc- tor, filmed it for the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer Company as his second Amer- ican picture. Like Lubitsch, Bucho- wetzski and the other foreign pro- ducers, Seastrom proved immensely popular with the American audience with his first picture here, "Name the Mam" . ' Reginald Bafker found himself fac- ing a couple of these problems during the making of "The Dixie Handicap," thy Metvo-Goldwyn-Mayer picture which is coming to the Oakwood The- atre. It was necessary to have a mile- long brook. Off, hand, this hardly seemed a cause for worry. "HE WHO GETS SLAPPED" THE STORY OF A CLOWN Makers of motion pictures years' ago learned to master the elements. It is mere play for directors to pro- duce rain, wind. or snow. Storms at sea, forest fires, and train wrecks long ceased to be difficult problems. But on occasion, even with the present ef- ficiency of the film industry, the firm of "Nature and Time" furnishes pure zles. However, these scenes were taken in October, which is near the end .of the dry seasbn in California. The exceed- ingly dry year added further compli- cations, for the scarcity of water use. A strong cast has beer/announced for the picture, healed by Lon Cha- ner, wlul plays the title role, Norman Shearer Ind John Gilbert. The sup- potting players are Tully Marshall, Fdrd, Sterlin, Clyde Cook, Mare McDermott, Paulette Duval, Harvey Clarke, Ruth King, George Davis and others. REGINALD BARKER BUILDS RIVER FOR "DIXIE HANDICAP" After a long search Mr. Barker found a location where he could turn a stream of water into a dry wash, and, by constructing a dam, divert the little river back into an orange grove, without waste. for irrigation. "The Dixie'I-Iandicztp” was written by Gerald Beaumont and adapted by Waldemar Young.

According to Curtis he has discovered an absolutely new and original make-up which he is IIS- ing foruthe first tiine in "Captain Blood."

After applying a li- beral' coat of flesh paint to the face, 4:0 to the nearest sand pile and throw handfuls 10f sand upon the face. The effect is marvellous as well as unique.

TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON 5 to the Maple Leaf Theatre next Fri- day and Saturday, March 27th and 28tH. The picture vividly depicts the dpa-l matic upheaval in the home of the Hugh Manners, a couple \\ ho have not gone down through the years in a very happy state owing to the wife‘s antagonism toward her husband whom she charges with being a "slow poke." Mrs. Manners will not allow herself to grow old naturally. but is deter- mined, to retain her youth at all costs even though it breaks up her home. The story is a. keen study of mo- dern life. Mrs. Manners, since her husband has accumulated wealth, concerns herself only with frivolous thoughts-and idle companions. She spends hours in; eradicating the ap- proaching wrinkles of age, and she is supremely happy in the thought that she will soon be divorced from her husband. This woman neglects her daughter who comes home unexpected- ly to discover her mother'in the throes of a romance with at gay philanderer. This man, Ducayne, has designs up- on her. He would employ her as a tool in order to compromise her so that she would be forced to pay a heavy price for his silence. A time comes when Mrs. Manners and the girl are innocent victims of this bounder, Ducayne, who employs Olga Kazanoff, an adventurcss, to aid him in blackmailing the giddy wife and mother. She comes to her senses in a, tense scene which precipitates a. tra- gedy when Ducayne' is mysteriously killed. Belmar, the youth, who had arrived at the" murdered: man's quar- ters, is arrested upon circumstantial evidence. The climax offers a vivid courtroom scene with Manners defend- ing the youth and conducting his case so excellently that his ivife's honor is never linked with the scandal.' Ono engrossing situation follows anotherin this vital story-until a thrilling and dramatic climax is reached. By way of encouraging thrift and stimulating the interest of employees in the Company they work for, the Bell Telephone Company has made it easy for telephone workers to become owners of shores in the Company. As the Annual Report discloses no less than 7,110 employees have subscribed for stock to the amount of 23,69l shares. As the Report SAYS, the Stock Purchase Plan has Fulfilled the pur- pose for which ie waspvpreaittic--to sti- mulate thrift and enable employees to "While "Rosita" is really a picture for grown ups, I want my little girl admirers to know I have not grown up permanently; that I hope to Sur- prise them with a beautiful production of 'Alice of Wonderland.' This is not a promist but it is a. hope and I know my friends will like it.'" _ "I should be grieved, to think'that I am giving up the'little girl roles for- ever. /They have been so clbsely 'c1SSO- ciated with my career on the screen and have meant so much to me that so long as I feel that I can play them convincingly I shall always hope to return to them from time to time. Appears As_Young Woman in Her Latest Photoplay, "Rosita" Is Mary Pickford going to grow i In this production Miss Pickford portrays the role of Rosita and while the portrayal is that of a young girl, it is a,distinct departure from the "little" girl roles Miss 1Prckford long has been identified with in the past. In fact, Rosita is quite 2], grown young woman and the question which will now be asked will bev, "CAN Mary vPickfrW,lagrovr,r.up?" Miss Pickford, as Rosita, _ realizes the ambition of all "littlergirls; that is to wear her hair up. In "Rosita" her hair is up throughout practically the entire production. ,The beautiful curls are in evidence only once, dur- ing a, boudoir scene. Throughout the rest of the play her'hair is dressed in Spanish fashion, with the picturesque baretta cenib as the only adornment.
