REVIEW AND SHORT PUBLICITY STORY To be sent out the day following the first showing of “RIMROCK JONES” i '\ Manager of the Theatre has secured in "Rimrock ■ Jones," Wallace Reid's latest Paramount production, a picture which will > appeal to everyone from one angle or another. There is the rough, wild and woolly stuff that delights and thrills school girls , and there is the society |. i life and scenes in New York's famous hotels which appeal to the older women, |: as well as the always strong, virile characterization work of Wallace Reid f. As "Rimrock Jones," the Arizona copper miner, he adventures through the i' photoplay, winning out in the end with the help of pretty Ann Little, who j, plays the part of Mary Fortune, a deaf stenographer. The excellent support | ing cast includes Charles Ogle, Guy Oliver, Ernest Joy and tiny George Kuwa, 1 the laughable and likable Japanese player who has appeared so often recently ■! in Paramount productions, notably those of Sessue Hayakawa. "Rimrock Jones," the picture now playing at the Theatre, introducing Wallace Reid as a picturesque figure in the copper mining district of Arizona. This picture was made from the story by Dane Coolidge , the scenario by Harvey F. Thew and Frank X. Finnegan. The production was directed by Donald Crisp. While utterly different from anything Wallace Reid has done, "Rimrock Jones" reflects the vital life and characteristics of a certain section of the Great West. Its author, Dane Coolidge is quite at home in this environment, as he has traveled through it many times not only as a writer in search of material, but also as a naturalist and photographer working for the Smithsonian Institute and other scientific organizations. The splendid cast chosen to support Mr. Reid in "Rimrock Jones" includes Ann Little, Charles Ogle, Paul Hurst, Guy Oliver, Ernest Joy and other well-known screen players. Miss Little particularly has added more than a 'little' to the success of the production as Mary Fortune, the girl stenographer who saves Rimrock' s mine and stands valiantly by when all seems dark and hopeless. Needless to say, a happy ending has been supplied and the photoplay winds up most satisfactorily even for the most exacting taste. 19
