EDENDALE
TWO FINE PICTURES The Kdendale Theatre will present this evening the fine human drama, “The Prodigal Son,” which is the picturisation of Sir Hall Caine's wellknown novel. The second attraction will be “The Vanishing Pioneer.” based on the exciting Zane Grey story of the same name. Jack Holt is the star of this film, which is a drama of the early days in the west, telling of the wagon trains and the newer towns, and centering around the townspeople’s demand for water. ROLE IN “TEMPEST 77 Louis*Wolheim prefers the screen to the stage. That is the reason for the former New York stage star’s appearance in motion pictures. Mr. Wollieim’s outstanding film role to date is “Bulba,” a Russian soldier, in the new John Barrymore picture, “Tempest.** “Tempest” is a United Artists’ picture that was nearly eight months in production and is the biggest feature in Barrymoore’s career. As the faithful comrade of Barrymore, who plays a peasant officer enamoured uf a princess, Mr. 'VVolheim. usually associated with villainous performances, offers a sympathetic characterisation that is said to be a radical departure from anything he has ever dune on the screen or stage.
