EDENDALE
NEW PROGRAMME TO-NIGHT “Hell-Bent F*or Heaven,” the J. ; Stuart Blackton production which will be shown at the Edendale Cinema to- ! night, is stirring, sincere and dramatic in its story of lire and love in the Carolina Mountains, where a hired man j who “gets religion” revives an old family feud in jealously and mistaken notion that he is the instrument of the Lord. The masterly direction of Commodore Blackton, the brilliant cast, and the forceful plot, all combine in making this photoplay one of the outstanding successes of the film season. When the dam explodes and a raging flood threatens the lives of all, one is bound to be breathless and fascinated bv the terrifying reality of the scene. It is a perfect piece of direction and acting. Patsy Ruth Miller is superb as Jude, the little mountain girl, whom Sid, the hero (John Harron) and Rule, the hired man (Gardner James), both love. Gayne Whitman, Evelyn Selbie, Wilfred North and James Marcus are in the cast. “Tumbling River,” starring Tom Mix. will also be screened.
