REVIVAL FILMS
The management of the l‘tialto
theater has arranged for a revival
week to be held from Monday until
Friday of next week when many of
the stellar attractions which have
played at the Rialto will be shoWn
for one day only. This will give those
an opportunity to see their favorite
picture over again and those who did
not see any of them an opportunity
to do so. The program for revival
week appears on the theatrical page
of today's issue. Every picture went
over big during its engagement here
and because of that they do not re.
quire any further introduction.

DIRECTORS PICK
ACTORS OUT OF
MOB SCENES
Alan Crosland, Maker
0 f “Contraband,”
Tells of Work Before
The Camera
The man in the mob scene in a
motion picture make a big mistake
when he thinks the director does not
see him."
Alan Croslaud made this statement
during the filming of mob scenes in
"Contraband," his newest i‘ariiniouut
production which is coming to the
Palace Theatre for a three days’ run
beginning tomorrow.
“If there were five thousand men
in a mob scene and one oi‘ them had
unusual ability. it would not lie the
least bit remarkable to pick him
from the crowd." declared t‘rosland.
“The minor player who merely “goes
through the motions.’ thinking the
director will not notice him among
so many others makes H grave error.
“Directors are trained to notice
little things. They are constantly
looking for new faces and it is sur-
prising how well a person can learn
to Judge another almost at it glance.
"It is greatly to the director's
credit when he uncovers and (lend-
ops a. 'flnd.’ The old order of players
is always changing and must be re-
placed by the new. it is the same
in any business ,and the man who
shlrks because he feels his cmpfliyer
ls Iiot paying him particular atten-
tion is guilty of Ii piece or \cry poor
judgment."
"Contraband" is based on the nov-
cl of the same name by Clarence
liIidlngton Kcllund. It centers around
Irl editor in a small town who de-
termincdly sets out to break up .1
political ring. the leader of which is
also the head of n rum-running gang
that is making the town its head-
quarters.
