A MYSTERY PICTURE Here are the ingredients for a mystery film: Clanking chains. Clutching hands. Mysterious shadows. Deep groans or sudden cries of horror. Something hidden behind a se cret panel. Footsteps overhead where there is no living creature. ' Wailing wind. Shining eyes in the dark. A hort-ible something that slithers across the floor. A dark hooded figure that rises from an obscure corner. Doors that close unaided. A gray thing that mops and mows in the shadows. All these and other mysterious things are to be found in "The Haunted House" First National's thrilling mystery picture coming to Horn's Theatre, November 22. Ches ter Conklin, Thelma Todd, Montagu Love and many other notables are in the cast. * * * FRIDAY, NOV. 23 "SHIELD OF HONOR." Comedy "Rattling Good Time." Blake of Scotland Yard, No. 6. 2,500 REAL LIVE POLICEMEN PLAY 'SHIELD OF HONOR' Not even a policeman will be able .to find a technical fault in the man ner in which the actual police drill team scenes in "The Shield of Hon or," the Universal which comes to Horn's Theatre here, November 23, were handled. They are said to be perfect in every detail for with the exception of the more prominent figures in the cast, who impersonate officers in the picture, all the other police officers are members of the Los Angeles police department and were actually on a field day when the picture was taken. 2,500 policemen were used in these thrilling scenes which were taken in Exposition Park, one of the larg est and best public parks in South ern California, the men working un der Chief Davis of the Los Angeles Police Department. During the making of the picture the policemen forgot they were just acting before the camera and enter ed into the spirit of the thing with great gusto. They went -through their maneuvers and drills with the same enthusiasm as they put in their every day work. The sheriff of Los Angeles was also an interested onlooker of the taking of the picture for his depart ment of public protection supports an airplane and he readily appre ciates what its addition to metro politan police forces will do in checking the nefarious operations of criminals and law breakers. The stellar f cast embraces such players as Nell Hamilton, Dorothy Gulliver, Ralph Lewis, Nigel Barrie, Thelma Todds, Claire McDowell, Harry Northrup, Joe Girard and others. Emory Johnson directed the picture which is from the story written by Emilie Johnson. * * * SATURDAY, NOV. 24 "MYSTERIOUS LADY." Comedy—"Kid Hayseed." GRETA GARBO TRIUMPHS AGAIN IN SPY ROMANCE Greta Garbo, the blonde star who has been delighting American screen audiences since her discovery in Sweden by the Metro-Goldyn-Mayer studios, has achieved another out standing triumph with her work in "The Mysterious Lady," the picture at Horns Theatre, November 24. In this screen version of Ludwig Dolff's fascinating drama of Euro pean espionage systems, the Swedish star is seen in a difficult role. She plays as a beautiful Russian spy who plots the disgrace of a young Amer ican officer to gain a military sec ret for her own country. With this unsympathetic part to sustain, Miss Garbo gives a vivid Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Howes served a six course dinner Friday evening, honoring Mrs. J. Kenneth Pfohl. The following guests were present: Mrs. J. Kenneth Pfohl and daughter, Miss Bessie Pfohl Mrs. Teague, of Wins ton-Salem; Mrs. D. H. Sutton, Mrs. T. R. Padgett and Mrs. G. C. Mc- Daniel. 4 THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1928 interpretation of the character she j plays, and succeeds in winning sym-! pathy by revealing the character's love for the man she has lured to misfortune. "The Mysterious Lady" is Miss Garbo's first screen appearance since "The Divine Woman." She appears' more accomplished in this latest pic ture than she has ever been before. This may largely be due to the ex ; cellent direction of Fred Niblo, who j also directed Greta Garbo in her sec- j ond American film, "The Temptress." ! He seems to have a knack of under- j standing the star's capabilities, and i by making full use of this ability has : I created a vehicle for her that easily j ranks among the year's best films. Conrad Nagel, who has probably! ' appeared with more feminine stars ; than any other leading man, in this picture makes his debut opopsite Greta Garbo. The love scenes . in which they appear together lack j nothing of dash, verve and fire. The story of "The Mysterious \ Lady" is one of engrossing interest. j Miss Garbo as the Russian spy lures j Nagel, an Austrian officer, to dis-' grace and exile, but redeems herself and displays her love for him by slaying the head of the espionage system which had enslaved her, con vincing the Austrian of her true love for him and leading him back safely to the land which he had fled as a fugitive. "The Mysterious Lady," it safely may be said is one of the finest pic tures in which the beautiful and talented Greta Garbo has appeared. * * * MONDAY, NOV. 26 "ADVENTURE." Comedy—"Just Dandy." 'THE ADVENTURER' A TROPIC ROMANCE Tim McCoy, dashing adventurer of the screen, has a new setting and a new brand of adventures for his newest role—and consequently reap ed a new triumph in "The Adventur er," his latest Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer vehicle, coming to Horn's Theatre, Monday, November 26. It is a romance of the tropics, j with McCoy playing an American | mining engineer thrust, through a ! strange trick of fate, into the midst! of a Latin-American Revolution and, through a serious of strenuous adventures, into the position of arb iter of the fates of the little coun try in which the strange adventure took place. It is a story crammed with thrills, j hairbreadth escapes, daring feats of horsemanship, and with a pretty ro mance told to an accompaniment of j the thunder of guns and the stacca- • to rap of horses's hoofs. * * * TUESDAY, NOV. 27 "WIZZARD OF THE SADDLE." Comedy—"Top Bets." £ * * WEDNESDAY, NOV. 28 "GEO. WASHNIGTON." Also a good comedy. • * * * THURSDAY, NOV. 29 For Thanksgiving we are offering Corinne Griffith in "The Outcast." She is at her best in this picture. Don't miss it. Comedy—"There's a Will."
