ARK! TAKE A LOOK AT CREAM OF THE MOVIES Clark at Alhambra— ‘Shore Acres’ at Ohio—O’Brien at Colonial

Griffith Has it <ir:Hi t H * m.iiiir h.i* f > ro.l m- • Idol Dancer." h twin sister to "The of Paradise,” which has bloomed so many years on the stage. Griffith has taken the shredded-wheat clothed girls of the South Sea islands, the beach combers, the derelicts, the missionaries who insist on the native girls wearing clothes and little island boys wearing pants instead of beads and a fig leaf, the hot sands of the beach, the melody and passion of the South Sea island moon and the brutality of island savages—all of these he has taken and woven into a gripping melodrama, now on view at the Circle. *• All of the wiggle3 of the Hula Hula dancers have been kept in “The Ido! Dancer,” and no other director could have photographed these wiggles as Griffith has done. Clarine Seymour, as Mary, really a twin sister of Luana in "The Bird of Paradise,” is the chief wigglcr. and we might add that this shredded wheat beauty lias a charm which is all compelling. Miss Seymour makes Mary an island vampire, clad in beads, shredded wheat and grass, who has n heart as pure as the snow and a body as dean as white e nen. \ But bow she can dance. Griffith has given Miss Seymour a great chance to do the South Sea island shimmy and he knows how far to let her wiggle her shoulders and bare limbs. Griffith knows when to stop, and he never has offended any one by stepping over the border line of (leeen y and good breeding, ami .Miss Seymour dances in a way which could not offend the worshipers of Ruth St. Denis or Miss Duncan. But she does make li®r dress or cm s wave as if by a wind storm. What the story lacks in connected narrative form it is supplied by the powerful impersonation of Richard Rerthelmess as Dan McGuire, the drunkeu, dirty and helpless derelict who has fallen under the spell of the magic moon. Berthelruess has chiseled for himself a place in movie hall of fame by this characterization, which permits him to

‘IDOL DANCER’ i q-M 'M ' : ' ' * ' m . && i j? To make this picture realistic of Clarine Seymour in “The Idol Dancer,” we should add a gown made of shredded wheat or something like that. Miss Seymour plays a sort of a I.uana role with an Hawaiian flavor in “The Idol Dance” at the Circle all week. lift the derelict from debauchery again to the levei of a real man. Guy Bates Post was the original beachcomber in the stage production of “The Bird of Paradise” and the work

of Barthelmess in the movie of similar plot does just as distinguished work as Post. For the dramatic smash Griffith lias used the same trick he employed in “The Birth of a Nation,” but in his latest the trick is the efforts of a band of savages to ruin a village of natives who have adopted the faith of a missionary. The savages begin to loot and burn the village when the men of the village are away. Then the call for help and the efforts of the men to row their boats to rescue their women. Do they arrive in time? They do, but the movie spectator gets terribly worked up while the men are rowing to tlie rescue. Again the detail is nearly perfect and the remainder of the cast is up to the Griffith standard. The writer saw the first showing of “The Idol Dancer” at the Circle yesterdav afternoon and he fell for the Griffith charm just as the cheering and encoring fans welcomed Griffiths' latest. A group of Hawaiian dancers and players appear in flesh before the movie begins and weave the romantic atmosphere for rlie picture. At the Circle ail week. -I- -I- -I“SHORE ACRES.” The same real heart throbs that endeared “Shore Acres'' to hundreds of Americans when it was on the stage, are brought back with full force in the screen version. “Shore Aores,” with some changes necessary in the adaptation of a stage play, is shown at the Ohio this week. Alice Lake is the star as Helen Barry, and F.dward Connelly has the famous part, that of Uncle Nat. Its dramatic moments are tense, and it reaches right down to the heart in some of the scenes. Alice Lake as Helen has the part of the daughter of a hard-working New Englander, who has spent his days in poverty, and whose greatest wish is that he and his family might live In ease. Her uncle Nat is a wonderful character.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL 5, 1920

In that his life is spent In doing good deeds for his fellowman. The village banker covets Shore Acres, the farm of the Berrys, and also Helen, who despises him. Helen is in love with Sam Warren, a clerk in the bank, but their love meets many obstacles. Martin Berry, Helen’s father, is trapped by the banker, and is in danger of losing “Shore Acres.” Helen elopes with Sam and didaster seems ready to fall on the family, when Uncle Nat saves the situation with his kindly nature. The great dramatic situation of the story is in the storm at sea, in which the ship bearing Helen and Sam is stranded on the shoals near Shore Acres. Opinion—A dramatic spectacle that has a tremendous appeal, excellent work by Alice Lake and Edward Connelly. , -!- -|- -|- ENGLISH’S. Frances Starr impersonates a cooklady “Sally” in “Tiger! Tiger!” opening at English's tonight for a three-day engagement. A member of parliament falls in love with Sally, even if she was a cook. Opening Thursday night at English’s will be a musical comedy, “The Sweetheart Shop.” -i- -I- -!- Mclntyre and heath.

K. KEITH'S. This is another week when headliners predominate at Keith’s, with at least three acts vieing with each other for the favored spot. Ruth Roye, talented singer of syncopated songs, is holding down one-half of tlie underscored billing, while Herbert Clifton in his travesties of "the weaker sex” smilingly accepts the other portion. Sam Liehert is in the running with Aaron Hoffman's playlet, “The End of the World.” -I- -I- -INEW VAI I) BILLS. There are two headliners at the Lyric this week and include a big act, “On Manila Bay” and Alice Teddy, a trained bear.

“Five Dancing Queens” and Clyde Nelson in a juggling act, in addition to Jack Dempsey in another episode of “Dare Devil Jack,” make up the features at jhe Broadway. The Rialto is presenting two feature movies, “Durand of the Bad Lands” and Shirley Mason in “Molly and I,” and the regular vaudeville bill this week. -|- -|- -S----JACK REID. At the Park this week is Jack Reid, a unique character on the stage today who lives up to his reputation of being “The Information Kid’ in “The Heart Breakers” at the Park this week. ALHAMBRA. She cost him $5,000. They were married, but she wanted to show him that she wasn’t “easy to get.” The bride had heard her husband tell a friend that all women were easy to get. so she wanted to teach him a lesson. She ran away. Marguerite Clark is the bride who ran away, and Harrison Ford is the husband who started out to find her. He found that women weren’t so “easy to get” for he had a pretty difficult time getting his wife back. Marguerite Clark is herself in “Easy to Get.” She seems to have the happy faculty of making her acting so good that the possibility of the story, or Its coherence are minor factors. , She pouts, laughs, dances, runs and flirts, ail in the same day. Finally she gets her husband hack, cured of his egotistical theories, after he had found how hard his wife had been “to get.” Opinion—those who have long admired larguerite Clark will pot be disap-

Elaine Hammersteln In “The Woman Game,” by Frank Dazey and Leighton Osmun, is this week's feature at the Colonial. It is a story of New York society life and woman’s game is that of matrimony. The theory is that a woman has the eonstitutional right, as it were, to use every weapon at her hand to win the man she desires. Miss Hammerstein is known for her beauty and she has an easy time playing the game of matrimony although she is a society beauty without sufficient funds to meet the demand of her social set. She sets her nets for a rich mar. and pretends that she is an old-fash-ioned girl but in the end she confesses that she is very modern. Happy ending. At the Colonial all week. -I- -I- -I* REGENT.

A crafty attorney tnrns the trick against Harry and he finds himself bested for a while at least. Harry then invades the den of the rich land grabbers and when he leaves be has not only defeated them at their
