NEW BARTHELMESS MOVIE BOOKED AT CIRCLE NEXT WEEK. Picture patrons, and especially admirers of David Barthelmess, are going to like his latest production, “Tol'able David,” which ->pens at the Circle tomorrow for a week's showing. It is a drama of the best type, presenting most interesting and lovalle characters in an atmosphere so pure and real that one almost feels he is part of It. Seldom has so forceful and direct an appeal to the heart been so effectively presented in motion pictures, according to critics who have witnessed pre-release showings. It is the story of homespun folk of rural Virginia, and has to do with the Kenemon family, living on a small farm outside a village. David, the youngest of the family, has grown almost to manhood before his parents realise It. He has been the baby without an opportunity to show that he is willing and can do things. When the time suddenly arrives he proves he is the man he had tried to tell them he was. Barthelmess probably has never appeared to letter advantage than In the character bit when he is called on to take his place unexpectedly as the head of the family. Some of the mannerisms and Inimitable touches which made his work so noticeable under D. W. Griffith are still part of him and are used to a marked degree and effectively in the present vehicles The excellent supporting cast includes Gladys Hueleite, Edmund Guerney, Warner Hutchinson. Lawrence Eddlnger, Ernest Torrence, Walter Lewis and Marion Abbott.

BIG r ARAM Os NT MOVIE OPENS AT OHIO SCNDAT. Agnes Ayres, talented and beautiful, who won stardom by her artistic work In Cecil B. Pe Mille's Paramount pro- j duction of “Forbidden Fruit,” is featured with the brilliant young screen player, Rudolph Valentino, in George Melforn’r ! big Paramount production of “The Sheik," j which comes to the Ohio Sunday. Miss Ayres has the effective role of Diana Mayo, a headstrong but brave and spirited English girl who encounters the Sheik in the desert and learns finally to , love him after a somewhat harrow ing ex- j perlence and complete subjugation to his indomitable will. He Is a veritable master of men—and women. None can stand against hi* power which in bis empire of ?and Is almost Invincible. * Wild riding and gripping scenes in desert sandstorms, action piled on action —such are the ingredients of tils photoplay by Monte M. Katerjohn. adapted from E. M. Hull's novel. And Miss Ayres has a role that is difficult klled with ha”d work and tense acting, \ to which she does. It is said, more than full Justice. -!- -’- -1I.OIS WEBF.Ti MOVTE OPENS SUNDAY AT AI.TIAMBR-V Dealing with a problem of American life felt in every nook and corner of the land. Lois Weber's new special production. “What Do Men Want?” comes to the Alhambra next week. Miss Weber's striking picture plays of social conditions have placed her In a class! by herself in the screen world, and "What Do Men Want?” is heralded as another big drama even more soul-stir-ring in theme and acting than her spectacular success "Where Are *My Children?” Wives, hnsbands, mothers, fathers, sweethearts, brothers, sisters—everybody in every walk of life —are concerned in this vital, throbbing drama that unfolds in stf.rtli'.g manner the things that promote happiness among, men and real understanding among women. In this picture Miss Weber has stripped bare the weaknesses of man, and made wonderfully clear a woman's conception of what men want. In every' targe city the newspaper stories of divorce and seperation give proof that women do not understand men. and that men do not understand themselves. Lois

Sam Wood, the director, Is a keen sport lover himself. So is Wallace Reid and so, indeed, are all concerned. Dorothy Cumming, who plays a girl of the modern athletic type, is an accomplished sportswoman.
