THEATRES
“Sky Pilot" at Strand
A human-interest story backed up
by dramatic incidents which climax
in a mad cattle stampede in "The
Sky Pilot.” which will be shown for
a three day engagement at the
Strand theatre, beginning today.
Tho story Is taken from Ralph
Connor’s book of the same title.
King Vidor, as director of this Cath
rine Curtis production, has faith
fully carried out tho sentiment of
this popular novel and has taken
care that the film version of the
story maintains the comely human
vein as well as the dramatic inci
dents that mark tho film as one of
the most interesting and exciting of
the year.
There is no doubt but that the
scenes of tho cattle stampede In
which 4,000 panic-stricken cattle
are seen dashing madly on toward
the form of the helpless little ranch
girl will forever lemain In the minds
of movie fans. Rearing that thy ex
cited animals would bowl over cam
eraman and their tripoda regardless
of how strong his platform might
be, King Vidor decided to film the
scenes from a pit eight feet in the
ground, ten feet long and five feet
wide. Thus it was that he was able
lira tho r>nt.t 1a vpprpd hv the
"Sky rilot” from the prostrate
body of the crippled ranch girl.
John Bowers pltft's the part of
"The Sky Pilot,” with Colleen
Moore as Gwen; David Butler as the
ranch foreman, and other* in the
cast are Harry Todd, Kathleen
Kirkham, Donald MacDonald and
James Corrigan.
The production is an Associated
First National attraction.
Larry Semon has a new and subtle
vein of comedy in “The Bakery."
which will bo shown at the Strand
theatre today that elicit* smiles
rather than guffaws.
Passionate Pilgrim at Ditmas
Charles Gerard, who plays the
“heavy” part in "The Passionate
Pilgrim,” the fine Cosmopolitan pro
duction for Paramount which comes
to the Ditmas theatre today has
had an unusually successful career.
He was born in Ireland and educat
ed at Dublin University before going
on the stage. He first appeared in
London in "The Country Girl,” with
George Edwardes, and then in 'The
Gay Gordons.” He then did screen
work, and among the motion picture
dramas in which he has appeared
are, "Little Miss Optimist,” "Petti
grew's Girl,” "Something to Do,"
"Counterfeit" and "The Teeth of the
Tiger.”
In "The Passionate Pilgrim," he
plays the part of the manager of the
rich Cantey estate, the chief heir of
which is Miriam Cantey. the heroine,
whom he seeks to win in order to get
possession of the estate. In doing so,
he works through her sister, Esther,
whose love he wins and whom he
uses in a despicable plot, only to de
sert her in the end in the vain hope
of capturing her sister and the for
tune.
He plays this part with great cun
nlng, being extremely true to life _
both in appeal&nce and action as the
elegant villain Matt Moore and
Ruby de Reiser play the lead'ng
roles.
The program also includes the fea
ture picture. "That's Something."

sulting in bizarre atmosphere and
background which are in perfect ac
cord with the action and characters.

of the picture are those within the
great Hindu "Temple of the Bronze
Bell," a massive stone monument
wherein, amid sharply contrasting
lights ard shadows, iantastic natives
are routed by British soldiery and a
revolutionary plot against the gov
ernment crushed.
