MONDAY AND TUESDAY "GET YOUR MAN" Clara Bow, Paramount star, whose latest picture "Get Your Man" comes to the King George Theatre next Monday and Tuesday broke into the moving picture industry by winning a beauty contest. -She was selected from thousands of entrants by the judges. She has been in pictures ever since and was only recently elevated to stardom in "IT", "Rough House Rosie" and "Hula." Girls, take lessons in how tp get your man from Clara Bow. She of the auburn tresses and the bewitching smile will be giving lessons for two nights at the King George Theatre. j Clara Bow and Buddy Rogers didn't , know one another. She was a tourist j and he a Frenchman, but when they . bumped into one another four times' a day, they decided it,was time to get acquainted. He had been engaged to a girl for seventeen years. Most of the time he had never seen her, and certainly didn't care about her. You see according to the French custom, they had been engaged by their parerits when they were born, so to speak, and when Clara came along, Buddy Rogers just fell for her. But he didn't get away from tradition and so. Clara , took a hand. ' Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. "SUNRISE" Proves to be an exceptional and Beautiful Picture. "Sunrise," the "William Fox production which aroused so much attention and acclaim in New York and Los Angeles screens at the King George Theatre on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It proves itself to be every whit as remarkable as the notices from New York would indicate. F. W. .Murnau the director, has produced, without much question one of the finest motion picture dramas yet staged in artistic effects and effective development of the possibilities of screen drama. He has set a new mark for the higher types of picture plays. There seems little doubt but that

his methods in '' Sunrise will be widely followed' by other directors in the future.

The acting is superb, not only by the principals, which is to be expected, but by every member of the east. George O'Brien takes his place among the finest character actors of the screen by his interpretation of the leading male role of the picture. His part is that of an awkward, slow-thinking young giant, a farmer in a little seaside village who is perfectly happy and contented until a woman of the citysets about deliberately to ensnare him with her physical charm, and her air of worldly wisdom. She only intends to obtain what little property he has accumulated and then to. throw, him aside. He is so dazzled by her attentions and her allure that he loses his head completely and agrees to take his wife out in a boat and tip it ov^er in the bay so

tliat she will appear to have been drowned accidentally. It is a part that requires excellent appreciation of character and ability to portray passion vividly and at the same time a proper sense of restraint so that the man may appear human and realistic in his various moods. • . .

Janet Gaynor likewise adds new glory to her career in the role of the wife; a typical young village girl who cannot understand why her husband ha£ become a sullen ogre, and who trusts him implicitly until they are are alone in the bay and his grimness reveals his intentions towards h.er.

The play itself is. excellent as a revelation of human emotions bo^h of a lighter and deeper nature. The comedy relief offered is hilarious at points but at no;point out of keeping with the main theme of the picture.
