South Second TURVILLES Street E E S I I - Never the Twain Shall Meet, Peter B. Kynes enchanting story of the South Sea Islands, will be shown at the Victory theatre for seven days, beginning today, according to an an noucemet made by the managemet yesterday. This picture, a Cosmopolitan production, directed by the celebrated French director, Maurice Tourneur, was pictured in Tahiti and Moorea, two of the famous islands of the South Sea group. The cast includes such prominent players as Anita Stewart, Bert Lytell, Huntly Gordon, Justine Johnstone, George Siegmann, Lonel William Norris, Emily Fitzroy, Princess Marie de Bourbon and Florence Turner. Perhaps never in the history ' of moving pictures has there been a story filmed against such gorgeously beautiful backgrounds as those which appear in Never the Twain Shall Meet. Filled with all the magic and romance associated with life in the South Seas, this photoplay sounds an entirely new note in the literature and drama of motion pictures. In the role of Tamea, the half-cast- e Island princess, Anita Stewart appears in a characterization thoroughly suited to her enchanting personality a portrayal which calls for many phases of dramatic intensity, varied with comedy situations. Bert Lytell plays opposite Miss Stewart in the role of Dan Bel-mor- e, Pritchard. The production is lavish in the extreme, and as the picture develops on the screen there is a breadth and freedom, a tropical magic and a pictorial panorama of loveliness never before visualized with a moving picture camera. In addition to a wealth of scenic beauty there is an equal beauty in the exotic interior setting, designed by the masterful hand of Joseph Urban. Never the Twain Shall Meet is dis- tributed by Metro-Goldwy- n. CORRINE GRIFFITH WILL APPEAR IN NEW DRAMA Admirers of the enchanting Corrine Griffith have an opportunity of seeing that talented actress in a tempestuously dramatic role this week at the AmThe erican, where First Nationals Marriage Whirl, has just begun an engagement for one week. Never has the beautiful Corinne enacted a more trying role, and never has her triumph been greater. Foremost in her support are Kenneth Harlan, Harrison Ford and Nita Naldi, each of whom contributes a striking characterization. New York and Paris form the background of the picture, which is a screen transplantation of the J. Hartley Manners stage offering' The National Anthem. With Kenneth Harlan, Miss Griffith portrays an American couple typical of hundreds who annually fall under the soul sapping spell of the pleasure-ma- d French capital, where the rising sun alone brings a respite from revelry. Clinging faithfully to a husband caught in the whirlpool of Parisian night life, the heroine fights a vain battle to save 9 him, only to be forced In the end to turn herself for succor to the staunch friend who once had hoped to win her hand. The latter is skillfully etched by Harrison Ford. r And the soulless Interloper, a species with which Paris abounds, is presented with uncanny fidelity by Nita Naldi. For a real insight into the vagaries of Parisian night life, see this latest First National picture, so ably directed by A1 Santell and cleverly acted by Miss Griffith and her cohorts. THIS CITY JOINS WITH GREATER MOVIE SEASON There's a three way celebration coming up in motion picturedom. It is being carried on all over the United States and it even goes into China and Argentine, or wherever motion pictures are shown. Its a celebration of Greater Movie season. It marks the 29th anniversary of the birth of the screen. It means that the movies are offering the biggest productions in the history of this great artistic movement. Finally it means that bigger, better, cooler theatres are being offered to the public. The idea was born three years ago. Some one thought that picture houses had reached that degree of perfection that picture lovers might be invited to spend their money in August as well as any other part of the year. Then they went even farther than that and said, We will give them the best pictures they ever saw. The upshot of the matter was this, business by 25 per cent. Then Will Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America told all the film exchanges and all the exhibitors that they better get busy because the directors were turning out even better pictures than had ever been turned out before and the public should know about it. The result is Greater Movie Season. A further result is better picture houses, better pictures, more enlightened youth, happier old age. The motion picture people say that they have now arrived. They say it and believe it. They say that the money they have spent in twenty-nin- e years is finally getting results to an artistic triumph. They offer their product now to all the people of the world confident that they have a message of artistry and truth. Greater Movie Season is being celebrated in Salt Lake in connection with the national campaign. In point of population, Salt Lake is the smallest of the cities that went into the crusade, and as a matter of fact was one of the first ten key cities. The president of the United States and Governors of many states have given their sanction because it is a realized that motion pictures are a wonderful force in life today. The local committee headed by Carl A. Porter of the Victory theatre, general manager, plans a big campaign. Eddie Diamond, manager of Pantages is director of publicity. Ceorge Carpenter of the Paramount-Empresand Livingston Lanning of the Kine- s, ina, are working for a big showing locally, Mr. L. Willis, representative for Will H. Hays is on his way to New York after two days in Salt Lake. 0 LAGOON Offering a wide variety of high class attractions.
