PAGE FOUR OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1922 ---- "SONYA" Theatregoers of this town will have an opportunity of witnessing Mare Klaw's production of "Sonya" which comes to the New Martin The- atre for Friday night only. The cast of actors, Mr, Klaw says, is of unusual merit, and he has stag- ed the production exactly as it ap- peared at the 48th Street Theatre, New York City, where it had a long and successful run last season. The action of this delightfully ro- mantic comedy is laid in a small kingdom in Eastern Europe, It has to do with the young Prince, heir apparent to the throne, and a beau- Marion Wells as "Sonya" in the Romantic Comedy of that name. tiful young dancing girl. She has beem brought to the palace by a scheming cousin of the Prince who has eyes on the throne himself. Dis- guised as a boy she is'to teach the bored young nobleman gymnastics and her immediate job is to lure him into an entanglement of sorts with her. The Prince discovers her iden- tity, however, and her winsome, wholesome charm wins his devo- tion. They pretend to carry out the cousin's scheme, but in faet, their associatign is most platonic. The Prince learns the beauty of simple life and becomes aware of his pec- ple's true need. He gains a manly strength and even denounces the throne df he can't have beautiful - iw F ' ie LY Sonya, This affords plenty of ac tion, suspense and interest, which are only terminated with the fall of the last curtain, Throughout, if is brilliant and colorful, and the de, Marion Wells as "Sonya" in Comedy-Drama of that name, the lightful comedy vein has not lagged at any time. It may he guessed that the ending is happy and King Love is left to rule peacefully, TEARLE APPEALS AS FINISHED ACTOR IN *A WIDE-OPEN TOWN" The Star Has a Fine Characterization in New Film "A Wide-Open Town," Selznick picture starring Conway Tearle, which 'is the attraction at the Mar- tin Theatre for two days, beginning Thursday, at once suggests. the gambling story. Those who see' the photoplay, however, will discover that the gambling interest is by no means paramount, The story, written by Earle Mit- chell, has to do with the refinement in the caldron of adversity of -a youngster born in unhappy environ- ment in order that he may become a big, strong, outstanding character in the everday life of an average community. Conway Tearle, star of "A Wide- Open Town." has always been great- ly admired by photoplay devetecs for the reason that he is rarely, if ever, seen in the idyllic roles which are so often entrusted 'to: male screen stars. In "A Wide-Open Town," the character he portrays is one which will appeal to every man and woman who has learned from bitter experience that expected per- fection in human nature scarcely ever materializes. It is a typical Tearle characterization in that the Ei ---------------- star stands out first and foremost as an actor and not so mueh because a kind. Providenge has given him a comely face and figure and the intel- ligence and training to wear his clothes well, The direction of the picture i8 by Ralph Ince, whose { work fer the Selznick company has recently been attracting unusual at- tention, NEW WALTON FILM MADE FROM BONG . EE yy Universal ' Picture at New Martin Theatre Adapted from "Second Hand Rose "Second Hand Rose," the popular song sensation, has become "Second Hand Rose," the popular picture sensation, For Gladys Walton's latest Univer- '§ 9al starring vehicle at the New Mar- tin Theatre has a new kick, It en- ters a new field for material and the result is unique, If there ever was a, song character more pathetically lovable than *'Sec- ond Hand Rose," it would be hard '0 name it, The poor little girl had everything second hand, Nothing came to her new, clothes, troubles or a husband. But "Second Hand Rose" hardly needs description to the millions who have heard and sung the piece, and the story is just what you expect it to be. It's the "Second avenue hymn" visualized with the heroine a little Irish waif in a Jewish fam- ily. Jack Doughtery and Edward Suth- erland handle the chief masculine parts commendably, while Walter Perry, Max Davidson, Grace Mar- vin, Wade Boeteler, Virginia Adair, George B. Williams, Alyce Belcher, | Bennett Southland, Camilla Clark and Marion Faducha complete the cast, Lloyd Ingraham directed the film-| ing from a story adapted by A. P. Younger from the song. | FACTS ABOUT THE SAHARA DES- ERT WHICH MOST PEOPLE | DO NOT KNOW, What do you know about the Sah- ara desert? This question is brought to mind by | the William Fox picture "Arabian | Love," now being shown at the Grand | Theatre with John Gilbert as the star. | The charm of the desert is always { potent in stories, whether they be | written or presented in pictures.

Do you know: that in the northern section of the desert, near the Atlas mountains, the French have dug ar- tesian wells which 'at'a depth of 150 to 1200 feet spouted water? And that at times fish have been brought up from such wells? Do you know that as yet science has not been able to determine the reason for the desert, although at o time it was claimed that the Saha was formerly part of the Atlantic ocean? Do you know that in some parts of the Sahara extinct volcanos have heen found? AT THE REGENT Virile 'Paramount Star Has An Ex. céllent 'Role in *The Man Un- conquerable," Jack Holt, virile Paramount star, has been seen in many unique roles during his screen career, but none has equalled in general interest his impersonation of Robert Kendall, a pearl fisher in the South Pacific islands, in his latest Paramount pic- ture, "The Man Unconquerable," which, according to Manager Pom- eroy of the 'Regent, is one of the | strongest photoplays he has booked | thus far this season. | "The scenes pf the mew picture, founded on a story by Hamilton Smith are laid in the pearling grounds of the South Sea Islands, | where authorities conspire with [thieves and the only law is the law {of might. This condition provides | ample opportunities for a story {choek full of tense situations, and | two-fisted, red blooded action. There is a fighting Swede charac- ter, played by Clarence Burton who +ngages in several pugilistic encoun- ters with Mr. Holt, the star. Rita Durand, a French girl played by bylvia Breamer, whose father owns a pearl island concession, supplies the love interest. A magnificent pearl which is stol en, causing the murder of its own- er, and which is later recovered, fi- gures in the story. There are many colorful scenes along the coast and in the interior of the island, striking (scenes aboard pearling schooners; in the mative quarters, and the like, Edwin Stevens, Ann Schaefer, Jean De Briac, Williard Louis and others are in the cast, The picture, which eomes to the Regent Theatre Thurs- day Friday and Saturday was made under the direction of Joseph Hena- héry, In connection with this mighty photoplay spectacle Manager Pom- eroy has hooked as a special attrac- tion Buck West the singing sheriff of Buck County, Texas, known as the man who sings to beat the band and who comes direct from the big Capi- tol Theatre, New York City.
