Show .1 : THE CITIZEN With the First Nighters LABORS GREAT FILM STORY, THE JUNGLE1 COMING TO THE WILKfcS The Salt Lake City Federation of Labor is bringing to this city, for the first time, an educational picturization of labors problem, that should interest every man, woman and child, whether forced to work for a living or not. It is taken from the great novel of the Chicago stockyards written several years ago by that master of diction and tragic events, Upton Sinclair. The film will be shown at the Wilkes for eight days, starting Sunday, July 23. The Jungle tells a tragic story; it constitutes the most dramatic portrayal of proletarian life that has ever been offered the public, and, in other cities, where it has been shown, under the auspices of labor organizations, it has attracted thousands nightly. The picture, true to the theme of its author,. is grppiing and realistic in its appeal and presentation of the jobless man and blighting poverty. Labor Film Service has given the public a great success and a picture that will live in history. It has filled the biggest picture playhouse of Chicago, the city of its origin, and has attracted literally hundreds of thousands to its shine in New York City. No novel of recent times caused more profound sensation than did the The Jungle and it is apparent that the screen story is to become equally as sensational. In order to provide for a complete and interesting reel presentation, the local Federation of Labor is offering, in connection with the screen adaptation of the Sinclair novel, a pleasing comedy reel of the Hall Room stamp, a first run picture, called Also an interesting Take. labor news is included. Put and. Teel of There is a conversation stunt by Hibbette and Malle that is at once entertaining and instantaneous in its ability to dispel the blues. Jeane ONeill, billed as The Sister of Peggy is a fine song artist and unloads a wad of fun that makes a big hit. Miss Jeane also dances quite effectively. Hari and Nagami are Japanese jugglers and reveal this gentle oriental art in a most fetching manner. They are presenting a mdlange of twentieth century stuff. With a weird story of desert sands, reincarnation, love, mystery and intrigue in old Egypt, where spooks and sphinx hold their sway, all mixed up and dealt out a single hand at a time, and featuring Betty Compson, the picture end of the program is well cared for. The bill is completed with a comedy reel, A Pair of Kings, done by Larry Semon. LAGOON TO STAGE FLYING CIRCUS ON UTAH PIONEER DAY Exceptional skill and care are required of the pilots of the airplane and the auto in the stunt in which Vance Breeze will leap from one to the other during the big flying circus and auto races which will be held at Lagoon on Pioneer day, next Monday.

Jazz music has become an institution in America, despite the jibe and the general condemnation of the reform element and has lately invaded many foreign countries, particularly France, where American jazz bands are as popular as was the American dougli boy during the sad war days.

It is unusual for a director to be allowed to write his own continuity, but Julians success as a writer and director fits him for script writing. As a result, when production starts, which will probably be within a week, the director will find himself even more familiar with his subject than usual. While a cast is being selected, Miss Walton is getting her costumes together and recuperating from the strain of the unusual emotional work she did in her recent story, Top o the Morning. It is probable that most of the exterior scenes of MLiss will be filmed in the Seven Oaks district of the San Bernardino mountains Rupert Julian is credited with having discovered the camera charm, of the local seven years ago when he directed Monroe Salisbury in The Savage and The Desire of the Moth. Rupert Julian returns to Universal City as a director after an absence of several years, in which time he further distinguished himself as a player and director with other organizations. His outstanding work is considered to have been as the kaiser in The Beast of Berlin, Carl Laemmles contribution to the morale of Americans in the first tense days of the war. . five-mil- e fifte- ten-mil-e THIS IS JAZZ WEEK AT THE PANTAGES tions goes up, and he finally comes to rest and swims to safety. track.
