EVERYBODYS PICTURES.

THE UNGUARDED HOUR TO-NIGHT.

What would happen if a flippant thrill seeking young American girl should set her cap for a conservative, woman hating young foreign nobleman. This situation forms the unique theme of “The Unguarded Hour,” a First National picture, which opens this evening at the I’rnoess Theatre,

and scores a big hit with the audience.

Milton Sills is starred as the nobleman. and Doris Kenyon has the featured role of the young American girl. AVo will not spoil an excellent, picture by telling you the story, but we will say that Miss Kenyon answers the

piostion most satisfactorily. She tames Sills who has the role of an

Italian duke who had been most in different to feminine charms. But ii the end he succumbs, and the man tier in which the character is playec

hv Miss Kenyon brings about all this, furnishes enough thrills, laughs and heart interest to satisfy any motion picture fan. Sills, ns over, is excellent in his eharacteristation of the Italian duke. Wo like the acting of Sills, for he acts with such sincerity. Miss Kenyon is admirably oast and carries you away with her comedv work, as well as her scenes of a highly dramatic type. She proves herself an extremely versatile youing woman. An excellent supporting cast has been chosen for this picture. Jed Prouty, Claude King. Dolores CnssincTfi, Cornelius Keefe, T.orna Duveen, Vivian Ogden and Charles "Boyer nil deserve more than passing praise for their work. Lambert Hillyer directed. “The Unguarded Hour” under the supervision of 'Earl Hudson. Both deserve praise for their production. A Topical and Comedy completes the display.
