Mysticism Basic Theme of Elaborate Picture Spectacle Helen Garden Returns to Silver Screen in ‘Devil’s Angel Hypnotism and Its mysterious phenomena has provided the theme for many a literary and dramatic masterpiece, but it seldom has provided the basis of a drama for the screen. Du Maurier’a “Trilby" and “The Tales of Hoffmann," have lona been standard histrionic vehicles which have interested millions of theatergoers. And at last such a theme has been used for the basis of a rlav for the silver screen. “The Devil’s Angel,’’ a photoplay produced under the supervision of Lajaren a Hiller, noted artist and illustrator. Is a story of artist life and Hindu craft in which the esoteric influence of the occult science of hypnotism sounds the dominant note. Laid in the Latin quarter of New York and Paris, where men’s intention* and women’s conventions are cast te the four winds for the sake of art. this photoplay of studio life is transformed into a weird tale of the Orient, replete with the mystery of psychic phenomena and Hindu intrigue. Helen Gardner, who will be remembered as the star of such screen successes as “Cleopatra," “The Breath of Arahy,” “A Princess of Bagdad." “The Wife of Cain.” “A Sister to Carmen," and 'numerous others, returns to the screen in the leading feminine role, playing opposite Templar Saxe. Mitt Gardner probably will be teen in person in Indiacapol s when the picture la given its initial presentation here. Peggy O’Neill, famous artist model, and known throughout the country as “the magazine cover girl," Is included in the supporting cast. Charles L. Gaskill, who was responsible for a number of previous pictures starring Miss Gardner, supervised the direc tion of her latest release. Dann MeElwaine *s distributing the picture in this territory.

MORRIS PLAYS A GREEK SCULPTOR Who Loves Chrysis, Famous B eauty, in ‘Aphrodite ’

When F. Itay Comstock and Morris Gest send the much-discussed spectacle, “Aphrodite," to the Murat for one week, tcg.nniug next Monday night, an Indianapolis stock favorite in the person ot McKay Merris, who was here for several summers with the Stuart Walker Company, will have the leading male role, that of Demetrios, a Greek sculptor, who becomes enamored of Chrysls, one of the most famous courtesans of all times. Last season at the Century Theater, New York, “Aphrodite” was the most talked of play of the year, and Mr. Morris achieved a big personal success. Being the sou of an army officer, CoL Louis Thompson Morris of the 46th _ Cavalry, McKay Morris first saw the light of cay at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas. He was educated in Washington, D. C., and the Germantown Academy in Philadelphia, with a Tiew to fitting him for West Point. But happening to meet David Belaseo, young Morris was persuaded to give up the Army idea to pursue a stage career. Mr. Belasco gave the young aspirant bis first part, that of a waiter in the famous Child's restaurant scene in “The Governor’s Lady." He was also understudy for Eugene O’Brien, the film star, who, at that time, however, was playing Juveniles and had no idea that in a few years he was to achieve such wide popularity before the camera. William Ell’ott, who at one time was interested with his father-in-law, David Belaseo, in the presentation of “The GovLady,” formed a producing partnership with F. Kay Comstock and Morris Gest, and one of the first ventures of the trio was the George V. Hobart morality play, “Experience." McKay Morris was engaged by them to create the role of Blue Blood in the New York production of the play, in which he established himself before metropolitan audiences ns an actor of fine promise and distinction. The following year wtfen Stuart Walker, who had been a stage director with Mr. Belaseo, and had an opportunity of observing young Morris during the rehearsals of “The Governor’s Lady." branched out as a producer on his own account and started his Portmanteau Theater, he engaged Morris ns a member of the company. It was the finest opportunity Morris hsd ever had, and he created ten leading role* that season in ;he various plays of Mr. Walker's repertory. Among them he created the leading roles In all of the Lord Dunsany play*. It was during this engagement, to be more specific, while Morris was appearing as the king in Lord Dunsany’s "The Laughter of the Gods" that E. T.ynll Swete, who staged "Aphrodite." saw his

This is how McKay Morris will look as Demetrios, a Greek sculptor, in "Aphrodite" at the Murat uext week. performance and notified Morris Gest that he had made a great discovery. But when Mr. Gest later met Morris he recognized him as the young man who had played Blue Blood for him three years previous. It was a singular coincidence that David Belaseo, who gave young Morris bis first chance, should assume charge of the final rehearsals of "Aphrodite,” and should conch McKay Morris in the biggest role he has ever had. -I- -I"CLARENCE” IS STILL A TRllMril FOR THE KELLYS. After seeing “Clarence," a comedy by Booth Tarkington, again last night at English’s, the writer was more convinced than ever of the service done to this comedy by Gregory Kelly and his wife, Ruth Gordon. Their work does uot seem like acting because !t is so real and as far as Indianapolis audiences are .concerned the Kellys are of chief interest. This in no way reflects on the work of Robert Adams as Clarence. Florence Fair ns Violet Pinney or Byron Beasley as Mr. Wheeler, as ail are satisfactory. Ornre Fliklrs :ast night seemed to make so much n; .re of the role of Mrs. Wheeler than she did when she was first here. In
