Feature Releases in the Universal Program of Four Weeks from This Week
Flora Parker De Haven in "The Seekers." Twenty-fifth Red Feather Production. Directed by Otis Turner. Released July 17. Nothing adds more to a
human interest drama, such as is "The Seekers," than a quaint setting, a portrayal of customs and manners out of the ordinary. The "Seekers" are members of a religious sect, and the prettiest human flower of the lot is Flora. Devoted to charitable works, she becomes a nurse in the home of a preacher, one of the leaders of the community. Her brother, convicted and sentenced to prison for a crime of which he was innocent, is destined to play a large share in her life. The son of the minister is the local sheriff and madly in love with Flora. You can readily see the complications which logically ensue from even this brief statement ; but if you want your audiences to enjoy a fine play, with splendid acting, book this Red Feather and be glad that the mighty Universal stands between you and those feature producers who would have charged you a prohibitive price for this strong picture if they had the facilities to produce it.
Hobart Henley in "The Crystal's Warning." With Sydell Dowling, Clara Beyers and Sydney Bracey. Two-Reel Gold Seal Vampire Drama. Directed
by Robert F. Hill. Released July 18. Whether you beheve in the gentle art of crystal gazing or not, you will surely be impressed with this strong drama, which has to do with Hobart, in the diplomatic service; an Indian prince; his brother who is seeking to recover a jewel known as "the sacred eye ;" Hobart's wife,, and a woman who, finding her charms have no attraction for Hobart, whom she loves, gives her life to save his. A story full of strong and surprising situations, played by a company of unusual strength.
Pat Rooney in "The Belle and the Bell Hop." Two-Reel Victor Farcical Comedy. Released July 20. Pat Rooney has made the whole world laugh at his
comical antics on the speaking stage, and on the screen his unique methods seem to be even more effective. In this screaming comedy we see Pat as a bell hop; he is in love with the girl at the cigar counter. What he doesn't do to extract fun out of the hotel lobby and its habitues isn't worth extracting. Pat is supported by a notable company, including Adele Farrington, Ed. Sedgwick, Marc Fenton, Jay Belasco, Hayward Mack and others. These widely experienced people help Pat to make more fun than you ordinarily see in a dozen reels of comedy. And the story was written by Chas. E. Van Loan. 'Nuff said.
"Midwinter Madness." With Dorothy Phillips and Stanley Walpole. TwoReel 101 -Bison Snow Picture. Directed by Winthrop Kelly. A strong story,
swift action, and most beautiful photography make this picture distinctly out of the ordinary. It is a tale of the French-Canadian Northland, sympathetically portrayed by an exceptionally good company of players. Dorothy, the neglected wife of Stanley, is tempted by a former sweetheart, and is saved from ruining her life by a climax that is dramatic in the extreme. A fine picture that will please your audience and add to the reputation of your house.
