this is a picture story of the gTeat ooen spaces where men are men and women are no different from women the world over. The climate and the surroundings merely make em seem different. It reveals more of that beautiful outdoor scenery of which Cali fornia is so inordinately proud, arid those revealments probably are the film's chief recommendations. Thar's Gold in Them Hills!" Bill Harvey (John Bowers), driving along a mountain trail, or something of the sort, finds the ground giving away beneath him and through the accident discovers a tot of gold.

VIVUO the unbeautiful chapters in several bare for so many eyes to see. There are no heroes or hero ines in this picture. AD the peo ple are of the sort not of great importance in the cosmic scheme of things.

But since the majority at us are of the same sort, perhaps we should find profit and some entertainment in viewing the film. But note that I say perhaps. Herbert Brenon, who already has two other pictures on Broadway, has directed welL Warner Baxter is pitilessly convincing in his portrayal of Jay Gatsby, the impotent clod who tries to reach the stars while his feet are deep in earthly muck. I like Lois Wilson's work throughout, and Neil Hamilton does well with a role that ordinarily would have small place in a motion picture. He is given a prominence that the character does not seem to deserve, and yet he is necessary tO the StOrV.

The reason for the pangs in the central anatomical remons is a nroloned meal of which these five have been partaking for six days.

The dinner ia vn of the hilarious seauences of the movies, and Director Lloyd Bacon's penchant for realism is the reason for the stomach aches. CLARA BOW'S "IT" GETS CROSSED Exactly four years to the day, we're told (believe it or not), since she signed her first movie contract. Clara Bow, fiery flapper of the screen, yesterday completed her first starring vehicle. The flicker is "It," in which Clara personifies Elinor Glyn's new interpretation of the pronoun.

StranD "THE RETURN OF PETER GRIMM" The Rratni Both: Gcato fctaie I'rucram VlTAplmNf1 0 I A Iains, ladies of the evening and just plain roughnecks arrive and take up their abode in camp. The chief villain is John Kenton (Alan Brooks), who is suave enough to win the regard of Jerry. She even promises to marry him when all the time all of us know that she is in love with Bill Harvey, just as he is in love with her. Kudolph Schildkraut and May P.obson, as the storekeeping Lezin- Powell, as the nearsighted, pattering garage keeper, adds one more artistic bit to his list of excellent screen portraits, and Miss Hale is very real as his faithless wife. The story, taken from Scott Fitzgerald's novel and Owen Davis's play is adapted for the screen by Elizabeth Meehan from the screen play by Becky Gardiner.

(Sounds involved, but so is the story). Jay Gatsby. low in the Kentucky social scale, aspires to win Daisy (prget her surname), belle of Louisville. When the war puts him into a uniform he is able to meet her on equal terms. He wins her, apparently conclusively, as the opening scene suggests.

For she asks him significantly: "Are you sure yon love me NOW?" But when he is gone she succumbs to parental wishes and weds Tom Buchanan, a rich Chicagoan. Later they come east to live. On Long Island lives the mysteriously rich bachelor known as "The Great Gatsby." He entertains everybody, but nobody knows who he is or where he got his money. With him lives an odd vulgarian named Wolf (George Nash). Through Can-away, Daisy meets him and discovers he is her old lover.

Since her husband is unfaihtful, she is inclined to go back to Gatsby. But many things happen, and the great Gatsby's tarnished dream of love fades utterly. Why and how it fades may be more interesting for you to see than to read. It is doubtful whether this picture will be popular. It is well done, but many persons will wonder whether it was worth doing at all Seeing it will make nobody happy, nor will it send anybody away feeling more fit to battle against his own troubles.

In short as Mr. Micawber would say, it feeds a lot of inferiority complexes, which already are overfed, when what most of us want is sustenance for a starving ego. skys. furnish the inevitable comedy relief. They must be funny, because the Hippodrome audience laughed at them considerably.

3Lr. Lezinsky is elected constable through the efforts of the villains, who regard him as something pretty soft. But Abe is canny enough to choose Harvey and some other honest huskies as his deputies. The new constable raids the gambling den and they build a bon-wire of the paraphernalia. Some sparks fly to the roof of the express ofiice and Mr.

Harvey climbs a ladder and puts out the fire. Coming down the ladder, he sees robbers in the express office. Whaddya Know About That? He leaves the other deputies out-i side, while he goes in with Abe. "Bill shoots one of the crooks and is dueling with the other when Abe rets in and turns on the lights. The Butterfly Kid draws a bead on Bill and the suspense is awful until whaddya think! Mr.

Kenton shoots his pal and saves Bill's life. Looks like Mr. Kenton is a bit all right, after alL But. shucks! A villain couldn't get away with that stuff, no siree!
