EVERYBODY’S

“THE COUNTRY DOCTOR” One of the greatest rural classics ever filmed, "The Country Doctor,” with Rudolph Schildkrant in the title role, is now being shown at the Everybody’s Theatre. The story vividly portrays the work of a country doctor throughout the year, struggling against the most varied climatic conditions. The story begins with summer, a peaceful coVmtryside with two young lovers dreaming 1 in the sunlight. Then comes autumn with the chill of cold December, and one of the great dramatic scenes which precipitates the smashing climax. And then the thrilling moments which precede the crisis. Winter! A blinding blizzard with the cruel wind of the frigid north whipping the swirling snow, trees sway and crash —a lonely figure appears, fighting his way over dangerous roads where a mis-step means death. A deserted world with the rural practitioner alone defying the elements. The second feature is "Manbait,” starring Clara Bow.

Herbert Brenon, director of "Sorrell and Son,” has announced that lie will film Fannie Hurst’s novel, "Lummox.” Louise Fazenda will probably be borrowed from Warner Brothers to play the leading role.
