"THE WOMAN GOD CHANGER"
Lillian Walker, of the adorable
dimples, welcome!. , ....
" Will she have film fans forget that
Bhe was born In Brooklyn, loves to
cook, and takes walks In the park
purposely to stop all the nurse girls
with charming baby carriages for a
peep at the chubby little Inmates?
Well, one cannot say that such a
Lillian is the one who presents her
self as the maelstrom of passion In
the new Paramount-Cosmopolitan
picture, "The Woman God Changed,"'
which comes to the Liberty theatre
next Thursday and Friday.
"And did you like the part?" she
was asked when ,the picture, was
finished.
"Why, yes, I've been on the screen
for seven years, you know, and I
never fail to get a thrill out of each
part. But, my ambition, the great
.moment of my dreams, is soon to
be realized when I am starred in a
big Broadway production especially
written for men."
Miss Walker has an excellen role
in "The Woman God Changed."
Seena Owen and E. K. Lincoln play
the leading parts in the story writ
ten by Dorm Byrne and produced I v
Robert G. Vignola.
"BEAU REVEL"
Situations teeming with choking
suspense, unlimited in their poten
tial possibilities, and yet practically
devoid of physical action are present
ed in "Beau Revel," the latest Para
mount-lnce picture story .of New
York society life which comes to the
Liberty theatre on Tuesday and
Wednesday next.
Many of the scenes of the fascinat
ing drama, which embody a subtle
charm, are the result of the deep
psychological insight of the author,
Louis Joseph Vance, one of Ameri
ca's leading novelists.
The feature situation of the story
is a scene wherein Beau Revel, a
wealthy and fastidious social leader,
is brought to account by his son,
whom he has betrayed by having
stolen the affections of the girl with
whom the boy is in love, and
then by the girl herself.
With such delicate psychological
finesse has this powerful situation
been approached—the father con
scious he has deceived his one close
Wend and confident, the son know
ing only that the girl's love has been
taken from him, and the girl heart
broken and furious at being, as she
supposes, the dupe of the two —that
the resulting scene is an innovation
la its dramatic strength.
Other of the many unusual situa
tions running throughout' "Beau
Revel" have been finely conceived
and executed. Lewis Stone and
Lloyd Hughes are in the leading
en's roles.
"THE SERVANT IX THE HOUSE"

screen have equalled the remark

picted in -The Servant in the

"THE BLAZING TRAIL"
The novel situation of a brilliant
young physician losing his identity
and Joining an illiterate community
in the Blue Ridge mountains has
been made into a photoplay which
will be shown at the Grand theatre
on Saturday, September 24.
It la called "The Blazing Trail."
Frank .Mayo is the star. It is said to
give the noted star his greatest op
portunity to inject punchy drama
into a. snappy romance.
As the story opens .Mayo is semi
as Dr. Bradley Yates, a young physi
cian who has spurred his brain over
the border of amnesia. He has been
working too hard on a specific for
blood poisoning and is found wander
ing in a daze in a big city. .At the
suggestion of a fellow physician he
goes to the Blue Ridge mountains
where he cannot be distracted by the
scientific problems which have
driven his mind to exhaustion.
In the mountains he finds a prob
lem of another kind, a problem
which gives his mind greater action
than ever before, yet leaves him the
Strong and vigorous young fellow
that he was before the laboratory
sapped his strength and upset his
poise.
The climax of the story will be a
surprise and the afterglow of the
romance will last for many days with
those who see it. Mann Page and
Izola Forrester, two popular novel
ists wrote the story and gave it to
Luclen Hubbard, scenario editor at
Universal City, for adaptation to the
screen. It was filmed under the
direction of Robert Thornby.
Lillian Rich, Hay Ripley. Mary
Philbin, Verne Winter, Frank Hol
land, Bert Sprotte, Madge Hunt, Joy
Winthrop and Helen Oilmore play
the principal supporting roles.
THE FIGHTER"
Beautiful exterior scenes, a thrill
ing railroad wreck and lavish studio
sets are among the many features
of the new Conway Tearle picture,
"The Fighter," which will begin a
two days engagement at the Giund
theatre next Sunday, September 25.
"The Fighter" was written by Al
bert Payson Terhune and is said to
be among the best photoplays in
which Conway Tearle has b^en
starred. Lovely Winifred vYcb'ovpv
plays the leading feminine role and
direct was ly Henry Kclkcr.
The story has to do with a man
who. by dint of his inherent fight
ing disposition has won his way to
the top of the heap in the commer
cial world.. He is a man's man
throughout and has little time or
though! for the frivolities of life.
But his ward. Day Shevlin (Miss
Westover), has just reached the hud
ding Stage and, a.- with most debu
tantes, she has an eye open for high
social opportunities. Her guardian,
despite his lack of interest in things
socially, determines that his ward
shall have her wish and it is then
that The Fighter find himself con
fronted with the most difficult strug
gle of his fighting career. His ene
mies find a new avenue of attack
that heretofore had remained closed
to them and the battle that ensues
makes for one of the most engross-
Ing bits of screen fiction ever show:..
Another bis feature of this new
Conway Tearle picture is a thrilling
train wreck in which the hero and
his engine in which he is racing
pitches off a burning trestle into 8
river some 200 feet below. The
scene carries all the realism and
thrill of a genuine wreck and was
secured at great expense and hazard
on the part of those filming it.
"DIAMONDS ADRIFT"
United States consuls in Mexico
have to be rather careful what they
do, but sometimes they can manage
to have a hand 'In something inter
esting without bringing about inter
national complications.
Such a situation arises in "Dia
monds Adrift." by Frederick .1. Jack
son, an Earle Williams Vitagraph
production directed by Chester Ben
nett, which will be shown at the
THK PULLMAN HERALD
Grand theatre Oil Tuesday 'and Weil-'
nesday. '■';,.
Brick McCann, consul at a small
Mexican port, was an old friend of
Bob Bellamy, condemned 'by his
father to serve as supercargo on a
steamship at $50 a month as punish
in-"., lor running up bills of 16000
i" a low months after leaving college."
lb- was both amused and sympathetic
when Rob promptly fell In love with
Conauela Valesco, the beautiful
daughter of Benor Rafael Velaseo,
port collector. Robs love is re
turned, but Consuela is kept virtual
ly a prisoner by her father, who in
tends to marry her to a despicable
but wealthy Mexican.
Learning that the wedding day has
been set at Velaseo, McCann cables
to Bob:
"A Mendelssohn being framed for
May 5 on your only only. Shake a
leg if you want action."
Bob wants action, and gets it.
There are two fierce fights in the
little Mexican town; one of them
with a mandolin against a knife: an
elopement, a wild chase and-escape
"MOTHER O' MINE-'
Robert Sheldon, on leaving his
native small town for the greater
business opportunities of the city, is
given by his mother a letter of in
troduction to a famous "wizard of
finance." who is, without the lad's
knowledge, in reality his father, who
has deserted the mother years before
on the drunken supposition that the
boy is the son of another.
The boy is given a position in the
financier's office, where he later dis
covers business is conducted just in
side the law. Complications arise
through the boy's preventing a pros
pect from being fleeced by the wiz
ard, and the latter viciously slanders
the boy's mother. In the fight that
follows, the elder man is accidentally
slain when his revolver falls to the
floor and discharges a bullet through
his hack.
His mistress, the only witness to
the affray, perjures herself on the
witness stand, accuses the boy of the
murder, and thereby effects his con
viction and sentence to death.
In the remaining scenes, the moth
er's battle to free her son, and the
spectacular manner in which it is
accomplished, furnish the basis for
an unusual number of melodramatic
situations and thrilling scenes.
This picture will be shown at the
Grand theatre Thursday and Friday.
