EIGHT more b'g ones, e:ght more sure money makers, because built of the best available star, author and director material. Here are the productions that will crowd your house during the month of May: Thomas Meighan in "THE CITY OF SILENT MEN" This is the biggest picture Meighan ever made. With many scenes made in Sing Sing Prison, and telling a dramatic and unforgettable story of a hunted man. It's even bigger than "The Prince Chap" in heart appeal. Cosmopolitan Production, "PROXIES" Directed by George D. Baker, who made "Heliotrope." A melodrama of society crooks with an unusual plot. A big cast, headed by Norman Kerry and Zena Keefe, helps make it a winner. William S. Hart in "THE WHISTLE," Hart Production Another Hart picture as big as "The Testing Block." The star plays a he-man role again, and there are fights, thrills and sensations by the dozen — and lots of heart interest, too. Dorothy Gish in "OH JO!" A small town comedy that is as real and funny as "Seventeen." One that will make any audience laugh all the way through. Full of little touches that you'll remember a long time. Sidney Chaplin in "KING QUEEN JOKER," Chaplin Production The famous comedian's first big picture since "The Submarine Pirate." A laugh spectacle of titanic proportions. The "Ben Hur" of screen comedy. Lois Weber's Production, "MARRIED STRANGERS" The one problem in which everyone is interested is marriage. The success of every great picture on this subject is sufficient evidence of this. Miss Weber goes deeper than most producers into her themes. This is her finest production. Elsie Ferguson in "SACRED AND PROFANE LOVE," a William D. Taylor Production Arnold Bennett's great novel and play, in which Miss Ferguson appeared last year on the stage. Produced by a great director. A rare and fortunate combination of top notch talent makes this one of the year's certain successes. William DeMille's Production of Sir James M. Barrie's famous play, "WHAT EVERY WOMAN KNOWS" With the exception of "Peter Pan" this was Maude Adams' greatest stage success, and Barrie's most successful play. Produced as Barrie wrote it by the director of "Midsummer Madness." (paramount (pictures FAMOUS PLAYERS-IASKY CORPORATION CECIL B DE MILLE (^fli-Cw.^
