THE PICTURE HOUSES.

MUNICIPAL. Thrilling events and equally thrilling acting—those are the dominant notes ot* “The Girl. I Loved,” the second of Charles Ray’s features for United Artists, which will be presented for tonight only at the Hastings Theatra The inimitable Kay is a new artist to many of his admirers in this remarkable chap ter from real life, in which he impersonates the poet, James Whitcomb Riley, in a dramatic recital of Riley’s own personal love story as it was related by him in the little-known but authentic verses baring the same title as the photoplay. The photograph is of the higest order. In support of to big feature will bo shown a Mack Sennett comedy, a lurther chapter of the “Last Express” serial, travelogue and gazettes. COSY DE LUXE. With three sets of sweethearts on the job, romance has a strong hold in tfie screen version of George M. Cohan's “The Meanest Man in the World,” the First National picture which will bo screened this evening at the Cosy Theatre, Hastings Bert Lytell, who portrays the “meanest man,” falls in love ■with Blanche Sweet and upsets the hero’s cold-blooded intentions. Bryant Washburn is taken with the charms of Maryon Aye, who plays the part of Bert’s sister, and Lincoln Stedman becomes enamored of Helen Lynch. Notwithstanding this triple romance, there ia drama and pathos a-plenty. “The Girl Who Came Back,” starring Joseph Dowling and Kenneth Harlan, is the second feature on the bill, in which cast, production and unusually beautiful photography are in keeping with the colorful story of thrills and heart throbs unfolded with their aid.
