ADVANCE AND CURRENT PUBLICITY Designed for use in your newspapers before or during the showing of “RIMROCK JONES” Dane Coolidge, the author of "RIMROCK JONES,” which is now showing at the Theatre, has written about a dozen Western novels and many stories and essays. He is a photographer as well as a writer, and often combines the two, getting material for Western stories while obtaining photographs. Mr. Coolidge is at present in New York City, and presents the picturesque figure of a typical cowboy strolling amidst the bright lights of Broadway, as he insists upon wearing the insignia of his favorite locale. "Rimrock Jones,” which was arranged for the screen by Harvey F. Thew and Frank X. Finnegan, and was directed by Donald Crisp. It is a story of an Arizona copper mine, and deals with the struggle of "Rimrock Jones” to recoup his lost fortune and his success. The old saying that "rats desert a sinking ship,” applies figuratively and almost literally to "Rimrock Jones,” newest Paramount production, now playing at the Theatre. Having discovered a large vein of copper and founded a town about it, the hero finds himself I penniless by a trick of the law, which one of his enemies turns on him. j Wallace Reid is particularly well chosen as the hero of this production j being an ideal Western type. j The cast surrounding Mr. Reid includes Ann Little, Charles Ogle, Guy Oliver, Ernest Joy, besides other well-known players and was directed | by Donald Crisp. ^ Those who remember Wallace Reid’s recent photoplay "Nan of Music Mountain,” will welcome the announcement that he is again to be seen at ■the Theatre in his latest Paramount picture "Rimrock Jones." This is a typical Western photoplay, the theme of which is laid in the copper mines of Arizona. A mushroom town founded by the hero is seized with his copper mine by a crafty lawyer, but later regained through the help of a stenographer, who pits her woman's wit and intuition against the clumsy, bungling of Rimrock' s enemies. 15
