This is a Path© feature adapted from the | novel by Townsend Brady and it affords at scope for the dramatic ability of these two stars which they handle 1 to the best adventdge. The story is full of dramatic and thrilling, situations which keep the spectator spellbound from the beginning to the end ( of the storv. William R. Dunn, who has a long' list of “villainies” to bis credit plavs tho role.of the villain, the . leader of' a gang of crooks who arc < endeavouring to obtain a sot of dye , formulas from the hero. The beauti- . ful Sylvia Breamer supported by Robert Gordon is in the leading role, and these popular stars have a feature in which they are both seen to tho host advantage, Tho picture is one or big moments, and there are many thrilling situations.

This widely famous motion picture is based oh Will Carleton’s poem of the same name. Seldom has a motion picture l>oen to deliberately sentimental as this one. Its assault upon the emotions is unj disguised and sweeping. It is ruthless ' in its mass attack. Laughter and tears and rapture when the 6«rij»turcqudting villain was thrashed within an inch of his life and “mother o’ mine” was restored to her old home, with hor arms round her children again—the momentum of all these ohl-fashioncd emotions keeps the interest throughout. “Over the Hill” is a picture that will live as long as the homely virtues eon- , tiiuie to exist. Tt. will live as long as the love of a mother for her bairns, i Dedicated to all the mothers and fathers iu the world, it will do its share toward making the world a better j place in which to live.
