MAORILAND THEATRE.

4 —: HIGHLY DRAMATIC (PICTURE , STORY. “The Road to Glory,” which opensin Shannon on Saturday, is the road that leads to glorious entertainment. With May McAvoy in the leading feminine role, this Fox Films production of Howard Hawks’ original story is one of the most dramatic things that has ever been,-put on the screen. The story is based upon an unusual theme, showing the big part Chance plays in ' the? moulding of human lives. ... Judith Allen, played by May McAvoy, is tile central figure of the story. Miss McAvoy gives one of the finest performances in her brilliant career in “The Road to Glory.” Leslie Fenton, as the sweetheart, offers another bit of evidence of his fine dramatic qualifications. Ford Sterling, as the father, lives up to his name with a sterling performance and Rockliffe Fell owes as the villain, makes the character one you will not despise too deeply. Others in the cast are Milla Davenport and John Mac Sweeney. QUEEN OF ROUND-UP IS BLUE STRJSAK STAR Josie Sedgwick, who- is being starred by Universal in “Daring Days,” which comes, to the local theatre on Monday, has been honored in a manner that has come to few women. In 1924 this great little Western stab of the screen was selected' Queen of the Pendleton Roundup. This means that she: was chosen by the greatest lot of cowboys of this country and Canada to be Queen of their annual {exhibition, of daring and horsemanship. On this occasion Miss Sedgwick proved that she was worthy of the honor of doing various stunts on horseback and riding broncos. “Daring Days” is a sprightly story of a small town whose population did not boast a woman. It wanted a mayor, a lady mayor, and to this end advertised in a Phoenix newspaper. * E,ve Underhill, employed bv the paper, saw the ad. Eve had "had enough of city life, was ambitious and* energetic so she promptly resigned her job and started after the' position of Mayor of Elden. She was accepted and that was the beginning of a life of romance and thrills, interspersed with many comedy situations
