ADVANCE PUBLICITY Newspaper shorts to be sent out three or four days in advance of the first showing of “Wild Youth/’ Patrons of the Theatre will be interested in the announcement that Sir Gilbert Parker’s "Wild Youth,” a literary master piece, and one of the ”six best sellers" of the year of its publication, has been produced for the screen by J. Stuart Blackton and is to be shown at that Theatre on The production is practically an all-star photoplay as the cast includes Louise Huff, Theodore Roberts, Jack Mulhall, James Neill and Adele Farrington. A story of the age-old call of youth to youth will be found at the Theatre next week when the J. Stuart Blackton Paramount photoplay, "Wild Youth,” will be shown. "Wild Youth” is an adaptation of Sir Gilbert Parker's famous book by that name and has been picturized and personally directed by Mr. Blackton himself . The story deals with the love of a young rancher for the girl wife of a crusty old neighbor, — the latter role being taken by the inimitable Theodore Roberts. The old husband is murdered and for a time the dark shadow of suspicion points to the girl wife and her young admirer — but events prove that another agent brought about his end. The photography which is by Paul Perry, adds greatly to the charm of the picture and the outdoor scenes, filmed in Sunny California, will be greatly appreciated. A third of the popular Blackton Paramount pictures. Sir Gilbert Parker's "Wild Youth," will be the attraction at the Theatre next week. Two former Blackton releases, also by Sir Gilbert Parker, have already been completed, in the East. "Wild Youth" was filmed in and around Hollywood, California, and it is said that the outdoor scenes are particularly magnificent. The story is one of the eternal call of youth to youth, and deals with the love of young Orlando Guise, a rancher, for the wife of his crusty old neighbor. Mazarine. Their affair seems perfectly hopeless to the two young people, who are both unhappy until Fate, in the shape of a certain sphinx-eyed Chinese servant aids them. There is a trial during the course of which it seems that the young man must certainly be condemned until — but we will leave you to see the rest of this extremely thrilling picture for yourself at the Theatre. 11
