HIPPODROME AND EMPRESS
“THE ROUGH RIDERS” COMING The acid test of a man’s love for a girl is one of two things— Either his refusal to give her up under any conditions, or his willingness to sacrifice himself to insure her nappiness if he is convinced she loves another. The test of love is one of the big moments in “The Rough Riders,” which will be shown at the Hippodrome and Empress Theatre on Wednesday. In this superb Paramount production. Charles .Farrell and Charles Emmett Mack are in love witb Mary Astor. Farrell is a dashing New Yorker, who attempts to sweep Mary off her feet by his ardour. Mack is the home-town lad who has loved her from childhood. They go into battle. Half-way up San Juan Hill, in the thrilling charge of Roosevelts Rough Riders, an imaz-. ing thing happens, something that is indefinably sad and yet wonderful in revealing the nature of men. Mary is tar away, but the test of love is deqided. Victor Fleming directed this splendid Paramount picture, which has in its fetured cast Noah Beery and George Bancroft. Frank Hopper appears as Roosevelt.
