'White Oak” Opens at Colonial. Why “While Oak?” This is why: The chief character in this new Par amount Picture produced by William S. Hart, which will he seen for four days beginning tomorrow at the Colo nial theatre, is Oak Miller, a gambler, and a man with a heart of gold. He t) is white by nature, in the colloquial sense. W'hite as the Oak whose name he bears—what better cognomen than "White" Oak? Thus the reason for the title of one of the most vivid pic tures of pioneer days that has ever been produced. It is by Mr. Hart, Bennet Musson Wrote the scenario and Lambert Hlllyer was director. Vola Vale makes a very sympathetic heroine. V Like Frederick Remington paintings ** are some of the scenes showing the long wagon train making its arduous way across the desert, the attacks of the Indians on the emigrants, the scenes in the compound formed by the •surrounding prairie schooners and some of the types of old scouts, trap pers and plainsmen. It is a historical document with a Wonderful story of hardship, privation, fighting, villainy, love, honor and jus tice, with a plot that is filled with vitality and mystery — an entertain ment that thrills and sets the blood surging through your veins. “White Oak” is one of the finest things dealing with the early west, that Mr. Hart lias done for the screen.
