Manager W W. Raney of

kat beginning Monday Jan
f he will have another one of
those periodical treats in store
his patrons—the showing
/the latest Vitagraph serial
risk and romance, “Smash
1 Barriers” with William
Duncan, king of the serials, as
the star. .
“Smashing Barriers has
behind it an effort that was
aimed to produce a new and
higher type of serial photo
play The authors art again
announced as Cyrus Town
send Brady, of international
fame as a writer, and Albert
E Smith, the president of
Vitagraph. These two men
collaborated on all the pre
vious Duncan chapter plays
that were responsible for
Vitagraph achieving a place
in the serial field of motion
pictures that is second to
none. The previous Duncan
serials were, “The Fighting
Trail so recently seen at the
Jewel, “Vengeance and the
Woman,” “The Fight for Mil
lions” and a few others.
Cyrus Townsend Brady,
Tho-wrll be responsible for
most of the daring and thrill
ing sitations and scenes in
“Smashing Barriers” is . an
author with a reputation.
While he insists that writing
articles and doing other lit
erary contributing to the read
ing public is always hard
work for him, he considers
the knocking off of a serial
for Vitagraph every few
montns as recreation. it
has »a charm and an interest,”
said Mr. Brady, “that I cannot
find in my other work. It
challenges one’s wits to make
strange and unusual perils for
the hero and it is all sorts of
tun in working out his salva
tion from the plots and traps
of the villians.”
In a personal word sent to
Manager Raney by Mr. Brady
he insists that “Smashing
Barriers” is the best screen
serial he has ever written for
tutagraph. He and Mr.
Bmith spent several months in
working out this big melo
dramatic production and they
have made it a serial for
everybody—man, woman or
child.
The first episode will be
shown at the Jewel Theatre
°n Monday Jan. 5.
