I requisite for a perfect motion picture
jls a real honest-to-goodness story.!
I It's that type of a dramatic tale that I
| David W. Griffith has based his latest t
photodrama on for United Artists':
■ release, and this wonderfully dra
matic production, "The Love Flow
er," will he a feature at the Grand
I theatre Thursday and Friday.
I The story has to do with Stella
IBe van, whose father returns from
serving an undeserved sentence in
prison to find himself a social alien
in his home town and the breach be
tween him and his unsympathetic
wife is widened by Bevan's affection,
and his wife s hatred for his daugh
ter #by his first wife.
Bevan meets the man. Crane, who
sent him "up" and Pevan and his
daughter decide to go away and start
over again. On their way Bevan is
informed of his wife's infidelity and
goes back to prove the charge. Dur
ing a quarrel, the man in the case
i.; shot. Crane immediately deter
mines it a murder and Intercepts the
daughter on her way to the boat, but
Bevan coming up from the rear makes
a captive of the detective, until he!
and his daughter have embarked.
They land on a South Sea uncharted
island, where Stella meets a young
chap on his way to the port from
which she and her father had fled.
In tin- knowledge of the mutual at- 1
traction which springs up between
them, this hoy does not understand
her terror for him, but yields to her
unexplained entreaties to go away.
This story is filled with an endless
amount of action and suspense and
is conceded to be one of the most
dramatic stories that has ever been
produced by Mr. Griffith. The story j
was exceedingly popular when it was!
run in Collier's Weekly, it beeing
from the pen of Ralph Stock.
"TERROR ISLAND"
Arthur B. Reeve, creator of the
famous "Craig Kennedy" detective;
stories, is co-author with John W. j
Grey of "Terror Island," the screen
melodrama in which Houdinl, the I
celebrated self-liberator. Is coming
to the Liberty theatre on Monday,
"The sensational character of the
"Kennedy" yarns makes Mr. Reeve
peculiarly qualified to furnish a tale I
for Houdinl that enables the hand
cuff king to work in all the thrilling;
stunts that have made him renowned
all over the world.
At the same time "Terror Island"!
la a thoroughly logical and entertain
ing story of love and adventure. To
save the girl of his heart and the
girl's father from their enemies, [
Houdinl allows himself to be thrown!
into the sea in a closely bound safe,
from which he escapes, battles with
a professional diver under water, and !
vdoes other feats of endurance and j
daring that one must see In order
to believe. - *

lain" is as lively as French farce can
be, without once overstepping the
bounds of wholesomeness and good
taste. It will be shown at the Grand
theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday.
"THE GIRL WITH Till. JAZZ
HEART"
Jazz has become an American in
stitution, like chewing gum, prohibi
tion, Will Rogers and other things
and persons Xow it is heir.:', taken
up by the movies, as is attested by
the latest Goldwyn production fea
turing Madge Kennedy, '"The Girl
With the Jazz Heart," which comes
to the Grand theatre next Saturday.
"The Girl With the Jazz Heart" is:
a Xew York "hello!" girl, whose re
vs are the reactions of Jazz, It
is the great color in her life.
Opposite to her type Is a Mennon
ite maid who flees to the city from
the stern commands of her uncle and
aunt. Miriam, as the' Mennonlte is
called, is also played by Miss Ken
nedy, double exposure camera-work
effecting the trick. Miriam is not

to Kittle—the girl with the jazz
heart. Miriam is a guest at the ho
tel in which Kitties cardiac organ

"Till: LADDER OF LIES"
It has been said tint beauty is
only skin deep, but in "The Ladder
of Lies," the new Paramount Art
craft picture starring Ethel Clayton
and which will be shown at the Lib
erty theatre next Tuesday and Wed
nesday, the heroine is a striking ex
ample of where physical charm and
beauty of character and soul go hand
in baud.
Edith Parrish, as interpreted by
Miss Clayton, is one of those women
of sterling character, who unselfish
ly sacrifices her own happiness and
risks even her own happiness and
her friendship for a man whose hap
piness is at stake. The picture was
adapted from the story. •'The Lad
der," by Harold Vickers, which ap
peared in Snappy Stories magazine ,
Miss Clayton is supported in this
picture by an excellent cast of play
ers. Clyde Fillmore is suitably cast
as Peter Gordon, Irvin Cummin as
the "other man," Jane Acker is Dora,
the deceitful wife. Others are Rich
ard Sterling, Ruth Ashby, etc.
"IT'S A GREAT LIFE"
Mary Roberts Rinehart, eminent
American author, has again done
something individual and different.
She has admitted that "It's a Great
Life," a pen child of her, is better
as a moving picture than it was as a
story. Following closely upon the ex
pressions of several well known
authors whose novels have been film
ed at great cost by picture studios,
and who were "surprised," "dis- r
pleased," or "Indifferent" over,the
results, this frank enthusiasm by one
of the country's most popular humor
ists 's decidedly refreshing.
"Empire Builders," called "It's a
THE PULLMAN' HER VLB
i
Great Life" D the screen version, as
a Saturday Evening Post story was
read and doubtless chuckled over by
thousands. It is in the writer's keen
est style, and every line is alive with
effervescence and humor. The story
of a hoy's prep school, its spirit of
youth and adventure, Is delightful tO
both old and young. No parent can
fail to appreciate it. and every boy
and girl will feel that Indissoluble
bond — the affinity of youth for the
romance of youth, when Stoddard
and The Wop, the young heroes, em
bark to their "Imaginary isle" of
dreams.
A romantic tale of moonlight and
pearls, white elephants and grand
viziers, it is also a picture of every
clay boy life, creamed with humorous
situations.
This remarkable photoplay will be
seen at the Grand theatre Sunday
and Monday.
••HOMER COMES HOME"
In "Homer Comes Home," to be
shown at the Liberty theatre next
Thursday and Friday. Charles Ray
has another of those country hoy
roles for which he is famous on the
screen. Thomas H. [nee produced
the picture.
The story centers around Homer
Cbvender, who. having exhausted all
the jobs of Mainosville, goes to the
city and becomes a clerk. Having ac
cumulated a few hundred dollars, he
creates a big impression with the
townsfolk as a man of wealth and af
fairs. He renews his acquaintance
with pretty Rachael Prouty, complete
ly outshining his rival, Arthur Mach
lm, son of the local hotel proprietor,
On the last day of his visit, Homer,
remembering a chance remark of his
boss's, starts selling stock to build
in Malnesville a branch factory of the
concern of which he works as clerk.
Thinking Homer must be at least
a partner in the firm, the villagers
fall. Rut young Machlm learns th*
truth and proceeds to ruin Homer's
little scheme. However, things turn
out happily and Homer wins not only
the girl, but the managership of the
Malnesville factory. Prlscilla Bon
net is the leading woman in "Homer
Ccmss Home." The picture, which
is a Paramount Artcraft, was direct
ed by Jerome Storm.
TOUCHY PROVES A PRETTY GIRL
HELPS TO ESCAPE FROM
TROUBLE
There are lots of ways of getting
out of trouble without resort to vio
lence. This is exampled in "Torchy
Comes Through," second of the two
reel comedies made from the cele
brated stories by Sewell Ford, and
starring Johnny nines, celebrated
comedian, which comes to the Grand
theatre Thursday and Friday. Here
Torchy Is trying to help a visiting
prince marry the girl he loves when
a guard pins him to the wall. Just
at that moment an attractive girl,
rather negligee, passes down the
hall. Quickly Torchy flees. It is
another example of "native wit,"
with, which the comedy Is filled.
