“The Judgkins.” (he star item on Wednesday, is a glorious mountain romance seething with primitive passion, mellowed with homely joys, thrilling with the lighting spirit of pioneer adventure. The sizzling talc of a fighting schoolmaster, who maintained that the word defeat wasn’t in the dictionary—and he won, all the time. Fatty Arbuckle will also be seen, in “A Country Boy,” and a further episode of “The Silent Avenger” will be shown. On Thursday a play of rare scenic splendours, of deep emotional moments, of stirring dramatic incidents, finely acted and superbly directed, “Out Yonder,” will be screened. This is a new Silznick picture. The role of “Flotsam." in which Miss Olive Thomas is cast, is totally different from any which she has thus far essayed. Flotsam is a ragged little girl of the sea, a daughter of the lighthouse keeper, whose life is spent on a lonely reef in the Atlantic. No place here for Ihe gorgeous creations of the French modistes that the fair Olive lias heretofore shown to such advantage, and she yet never before made a greater appeal or been more charming.
