He was given the leading role in a graduation picture in which all of the members took part. · ·

Soon after this production was released Rogers was given a role in support of Clara Bow.

Then came the master epic of the air, "Wings." Rogers was immediately acclaimed for his work in this film and his fan mail leaped with bounds until now he receives more fan mail than any other male star in Hollywood, a sure sign that Rogers is held in the highest esteem by the public.

His first role In "Abie's Irish Rose" will serve to increase his popularity. He portrays the role of Abic, the Jewish boy who falls in love with Rosemary, the little Irish lass. The role of Rosemary is filled by Nancy Carroll, looked upon as "comer" among those who know screen possibilities of o player. Nancy is real Irish too, having been born of Irish parents on Tenth avenue in New York City. She has red hair, blue eyes, and speaks with a tinge of brogue.

"The Virginian."

Audiences at the Central Theatre will have the opportunity to morrow to learn whether preview critics were correct when they said that "The Virginlan" is "The Covered Wagon" of all-talking pictures. The Owen Wister

classic of pioneer days on the Western cattle ranges has all the ear-marks of an epic fim. The manner in which it was acclaimed by previewers Indicates that it will go high on the list of really greats.

The film, based on the novel by the same name, which brought Owen Wister quick fame in the 80's, and which has since been termed the greatest American romance, enjoys the distinction of being the first all-outdoors play to be recorded on the audible Alms.. But its greatest claim to all time honors lles In its general perfection In every department. There is a great cast Cary Cooper, Walter Huston, Richard Arlen, Mary Brian, Eugene Pallette, Chester Conkin, E. H. Calvert, Helen Ware-a superb group of artists who have proved their worth on the stage and the talking screen. There is masterful direction, by Victor Fleming, a genius in his art. There are gorgeous settings -the real out-of-doors of the pinedotted cattle ranges of the old West. There is tense drama, rich romance, rollicking humour and the theme is one which deals with дл exact chapter In American ploneer daya.
