Sunlight screen. This screen Is made by Du Pont .and is considered the best on the market, states Mr. S. H. Lylc, Jr., manager of the theatre. Accord- . ing to Mr. Lyle the new screen gives 100 per cent better projection than the one formerly used. In connection with its weekly Pathe Review the Idle Hour will hereafter show a news reel on Wednesday arid Thursday nights of each week. .

Sometimes the quality that lifts a production f,rom mediocrity ' into fame is love! Sometimes it's war. Often it is both, combined with the elements of humor and drama lifted to a zenith of popu larity by the sterling performances of the players.. Taken all together, this is a' meager description of "The Rough Riders" which come sto the Idle Hour theatre next Wednesday and Thursday. Picture if you can a .nation .thrown into a fever of patriotism by the sink ing of The Maine many remember it visualize a man of dynamic in stincts, picturesque leadership, and profound intelligence, things tlikt ap peal to-'men of- all races and all classes, springing to the forefront of an epic campaign in behalf of human iiberty. Such a man was Roosevelt. And thus he is portrayed m lara- mount's splendid production. Consider in this maelstrom of war and sacrifice and deeds of daring a love theme centralized in two ' brave boys and a girl of rare sweetness and loveliness. Until you have seen Charl es Farrell, Charles Emmett Mack and Mary Astor in this unusual triumvirate of screen sentiment you will not ap preciate how marvelously the drama of the human heart can be portrayed un der circumstances that wrench and tear one's soul. It woul'd be de spoiling .romance itself to divulge . u.i ne the 1 tiirl. t is of general knowledge - that when Jesse L. Lasky andB. . Schulberg, two ot tne screen showmen, saw the completed reels , of "The-Rough- Riders" they told Direc tor Victor Fleming and members ot the cast that they had helped bequeath something of , infinite value to history, art and entertainment. . The charge of the uniformed in dividualists, rangers and pampered so ciety dandies, up San Juan Hill, is something never to be forgotten It is breathless. It is the epitome of valor and adventure. It ' is an inspiring lesson in patriotism and manhood. There is humor bound up bodily with this magnificent story, and to Noah Eeery and George Bancrott n-U t!i rredit tor cnaracier- izations of strength and fun that are finclv native and genuine.- Fred Kon ler, the hard-boiled top-sergeant gives an able performance. rraiiK -DAon0H ie a revelation, vol Fred Lindsay as Leonard Wood is every inch the soldier- ana a gemn.

NATI0lJ;sl LIKE "STARK LOVE When the motion picture critic of Liberty saw "Stark Love" the Para mount picture which reaches the Idle Hour theatre next Friday and Satur day, he wrote, "He (meaning Kar Brown, the director) deserves a medal for 'Stark Love.' Take my tip and see it. You'll welcome its sincerity and its complete lack of mascara, permanent waves, and cupid-bow hps. It is the realest .thing the movie has done in a long time." . Photoplay listed the production among its best pictures and advised readers "not to mis it." "There is a genuine treat in store for all rr.ouie patrons who look to Bigger and" Better ideas." said Clas sic "It may be found in 'Stark Love"' wrote the Mid-week Pictorial reviewer, "Karl Brown has achieved something distinctly worth while from every point of view." t "A movie critic is apt to become alarmingly introspective after having seen a picture like 'Stark Love and if he sees a picture like 'Stark Love once in teen years, he's lucky ; he rea sons to himself, and justifiably, Here I must sit and think up some way to express my respect and admiration for this fine, honorable achievement' and I know that whatever words I select will be inadequate," said the erudite gentleman from Life, and con tinued, "The fact of the matter is this: 'Stark Love' is the closest ap proach to genuinely high tragedy that the motion picture has ever made certainly in America." For those who haven't yet seen this remarkable picture, let it be said that "Stark Love", is the simple, un adorned tale of an ambitious moun tain boy who ifghts for the girl he loves even after his father decides to take her for "his woman." This slice of life must be screened to be appreciated. , Four Hundred War Vett In "Whirlwind of Youth" Four hundred veterans of the World War, commanded by one of the most distinguished groups of British officers ever brought together in America,, appear in Paramount's start ling, dramatic production "The Whirl wind of .Youth" which slans an en--gagenu-nt at the Idle Hour thcr.tre next Monday. Though ' no ' battle .scenes are shown, all the bustle and confusion which constantly existed in the area behind the lines is there.. These sequences have been photo graphed with all the realism and dramatic feeling for which Director Rowland V. Lee, himself a war veteran,- is noted. -Needless . to . say, this experience brought back many vivid memories to these- men' who took, part. Though little of "The Whirl wind of Youth" is devoted to the war, the story's climax is laid against the sweepimr background rrovidrd hv the great conflict, with the star, 'Lois Moran, driing a Red Cross andm i lance.
