OVER THE HILL

SALLY EILERS AND JAMES DUNN IN APPEALING SCREEN STORY TWO BRILLIANT YOUNGSTERS Beginning on Monday at the Ma- ' jestie Theatre, motion picture aud- : iences will be given the opportunity of seeing "Over the Hill," a special 1 production from the studios of Pox. It is the famous poem by Will Carleton brought to life on the screen with all the sincerity, all the pathos, all the joys, and all the deep feeling that go to make up the life of a real family. It is an intimate story of home and family life, with its small quarrels and its great loyalties; with its romances through the years ; with the growing of the individual lives of children, and the mother who cannot bear to part with them. It is the story of a strong motheir who grows dependent, and then fmds that she has no place in the lives of her children. They have their own battles to fight, and they look upon her as something of a burden. But there is one — one of them who is grateful, -who can never forget what she has given him. "Over the Hill" brings together again those two superb youngsters who have been making motion picture history in the past two months — James Dunn and Sally Eilers — for the most stirring performances of

their young careers. Mae Marsh, whose dramatic powers have been &bsent from motion pictures for more than ten years, returns triumphantly to the screen as the mother in "Over the Hill." James Kirkwood, Edward Crandall, Claire Maynard, Olin Howland, Joan Peers, William Pawley and a number of other favourites all have important roles in "Over the Hill," which was directed by Henry King. Tom Barry wrote the story continuity and dialogue.
