SPECIAL PICTURES, SPECIAL ORCHESTRA. TO-NIGHT AT 7.45. “The Shepherd of the Hills” brings the strange, primitive people of the Ozark mountains of a generation ago to life on the screen, with a thoroughness never approached by fiction. This is the screen version of Harold Bell Wright’s most famous novel. People as quaint, primitive and exotic, to the average city dweller, as natives of the Gobi desert, are aeeurately and picturesquely portrayed. Out of the immemorial Ozark hills come these hero-men and women. See them living, fighting, and loving just as the favorite author described them in his most widely read classic. Only once in a decade does the screen translate the written word in terms of such rugged drama. Then comes the big riot comedy attraction “Ladies’ Night in a Turkish Bath,” starring Dorothy Mackaill and Jack Mulhall. Women in front of them, women behind them, into the muzzles of mirth rode these two fellows. Six hundred laughs per reel in this sensational comedy drama that lmd Broadway in laughing-tears and titters for one whole year. Napier claims “Ladies’ Night” as the greatest comedy put out this year. Remember that. Special orchestra will play latest song hits. Usual prices. Coming next Tuesday and Wednesday, September 11th and 12th, the great super picture. “King of Kings.” Reserves and dress circle 2s Od, stalls 2s. No half-price to evening sessions. Special matinee on Wednesday at 3.15.
