“RIMROCK JONES”
Handsome Wallace Reid, the popular player who has appeared so often with Geraldine Farrar in that star's pictures, such as "Carmen," "Joan the
Woman," "The Woman God Forgot" and others, is starring this week at the
Theatre in "Rimrock Jone," his latest Paramount release.
A breezy story of an Arizona copper mine, "Rimrock Jones" fairly breathes the spirit of the west and furnishes a glove-fitting vehicle for the energetic young star.
Pretty Ann Little who supported him in "Nan of Music Mountain" plays the leading feminine role as Mary Fortune, the deaf girl stenographer. The rest of the cast includes Charles Ogle, Guy Oliver, Earnest Joy and a clever little Japanese actor, George Kuwa. "Rimrock Jones" has found a copper mine in Arizona and a thriving town has grown up around his claim. Andrew McBain, a clever crook lawyer of the town devises a plan whereby through a legal trick he wrests the holdings from Rimrock.
Thus it is, that destitute and penniless, Rimrock becomes a mere hanger-on in the town. His one-time friends desert him and only Mary Fortune the stenographer stands by. These two together fight it out against the combined wiles of a Wall Street financier, two of the country's well-known lawyers and one of the crooks of the town; McBain, the lawyer having been killed in. a fight with Rimrock although the latter was acquitted of the murder as justifiable.
Mary unknown to Rimrock has taken the long journey to New York and had specialists perform an operation on her ears which has restored her hearing, and it is, by pretending still to be deaf, that she plays the final winning card in their game.
Director Donald Crisp has secured some unusual effects in this picture, including magnificent western scenery and scenes at the mines actually filmed in Arizona. The story was written by Dane Coolidge and the scenario by Harvey F, Thew and Frank X, Finnegan.
