Valentino to Be Seen in Two Pictures Here *The Sheik* Is Held Over and *Conquering Power* Will Open TomoiTow. BARRYMORE FILM, TOO Rudolph Valentino, who will be remembered for his worK in “The Four Horsemen,” will have the unique distinction of being featured in two different movies at two theaters next week. At the Ohio Theater, Mr. Wlentino begins the second and final week of his engagement in “The Sheik” Sunday. On the same day he opens a week’s engagement in "The Conquering Power” at Loew’s State. John Barrymore, eminent actor of the stage, and Weeley Barry will open Sunday an engagement In “The Lotus Eater" at the Circle. The Alhambra will present next week a movie version of “Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford.” The Isis will offer Bill Hart in “White Oak.” May MaeAvoy will be seen in “Morals" at Mister Smith’s. Th£ Colonial will offer Frltzi Brunette In “A Wife’s Awakening,” and at the Regent, Texas Guinan will be featured in “I am the Woman.” DOfdLE BILL ASXOrXCED AT OHIO. Commencing Sunday, the Ohio will present a double bill, consisting of “The Sheik,” which has been held for a second week’s engagement, and the original Brown Saxophone Six, a greup of musical entertainers who will gire specialty performances. Ayres and Rudolph Valentino are the leading players an they are credited with brilliant acting in this ! cinema. Since Miss Ayres' work in pnst ] Cecil B. He Mille productions, she has risen steadily in her career, and with the ; advent of this picture, she gives the best characterization of her ability. In ad- j Union to her cleverness in handling th~ many, dramatic situations, her ch*\ _a and beauty are very noticeable throughout the film. Valentino, also, is well worthy of special citation. Since his work in “The Pour Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” fans have eagerly awaited more of his screen plays. As the Sheik, al>solute monarch of his reign, possessed with unlimited authority and power in the desert, Valentino is very effective. The fact that the drama is a screen adaptation of E. M. Hull's famous novel should insure the production as far as literary value is concerned. In fact, Monte M. Katerjohn, who prepared the i scenario, has included everything—from desperate and yet romantic love-making to hand-to-hand scrapes in which dusky desert bandits are predominant. Special mention should be made of Saxophone Six who contribute an original act composed of various musical features to the program. From a successful season in a Sr. Louis theater, they come pa the Ohio for a week. A number of present day musical successes win also be introduced.

“THE CONQUERING POWER” OPENS BIN DAY AT LOEWS. “The Conquering' Power,” a Rex Ingram production, will be the feature Elm attraction at Loew’s State for r.ext weer. In this production, Mr. Ingram had the assistance of all the principals who aided him In making "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” It is an adaptation by June Mathis or Badzac’s novel. “Eugenie Grandet.” The scene is laid in a provincial city of France, where the miserly old Grandet hordes his gold and lives in poverty with bis daughter. Eugenie. A nephew, Charles, a young Parisian, son of a bankrupt, is thrown upon the miser's charity, and is scorned and banishes by him to Martinique. In the screen version Alice Terry, the beautiful Marguerite of “The Four Horsemen,” plays the ro’.e of Eugenie. Rudolph Valentino, whose Latin temperament and graceful . fascination fitted him preeminently for the part of Julio in “The Foci* Horsemen,” is cast as the Parisian dandy, Charles. Ralph I-ewts, one of the most effective of character actors, plays Grandet. Others in the cast are Edward Connelly, Edna Dutnary, George Atkir.ecn, Willard Lee Hail, Mary Hearn, Bridgetta Clark. Mark Fenton, Eugenq Pouyet and Ward Wing. A special musical scare, w .Ich has been a feature of the Ingram productions, has been provided for “The Conquering Power," and will be interpreted by the Loew orchestra. Other program features include a short comedy news reel. -L -|. -|. BARRYMORE AND BARRY IN “THE LOTFS EATER." Who could be lonesome on a tropical island where nature provided everything needed -o eat? Where the sun shines 365 days of the year? Where the soft. Southern breezs waft an ocean zephyr Just the right temperature twenty-four hours of the day? Where the inhabitants wear the lightest of flowing Greek robes? And where love is the principal outdoor sport? Some island, one must admit. It is the Utopia found by Albert Payson Terhune in his novel, “The Lotus Eater,” one of his best satirical and fantaOtic stories, and it has been adapted to the screen as a vehicle for John Barrymore. It will be the featured film at the Circle for the week, beginning tomorrow.

SPEEDY COMEDY PROMISED AT ALHAMBRA. "Get Rich Quick Wallingford,” which opens at the Alhambra Sunday, has been made from the stories of the same name that have been read from Maine to California and the ardent followers of these appealing stories of swindlers and crooks will see an entirely different portrayal of the cheaters than that afforded in the •stage play of the same name t y George M. Cohan. National magazine publications that have featured "Get Rich Quick Wallingford" have imbedded in tho reader's mind that there is nothing substantial to Wallingford’s schemes and they will be surprised to roe liis scheme of the I

stock selling and investment venture materialize, and jjartly through the sincere efforts of the innocent, and* partly liecause of pure luck proves to be an overwhelming success and at the same time Wallingford# associates and coworkers remain in fgnoranee of the fact that they are just about to be robbed by the greatest crook the w r orld has ever known. Subsidiary program attractions will consist of the Fox news weekly and the Literary Digest. -!- -I- -!- bill iiart RETURNS TO ISIS. William'S. liart comes to bat with a brand new thriller of his familiar Western style in “White Oak," which will be the attraction at the Isis next week. The scenes are laid on the Western plains during the days when the hardy pioneers, eyer pushing Westward, were in continual peril from attack by Indians. Hart is cast as Oak Miller, a gambler. His sister dies as a result of exposure to cold, following her- dive into the river from a steamboat to escape a scoundrel, and he plans vengeance. The girl he loves Joins a Wagon train, which is ambushed by Indians, the whites having been betrayed by the very man whom the gambler seeks. .There is a sensational battle with the redskins and in the nick of time Oak Miller saves the day. The villain, of course, gets his just deßerts and in a very unexpected way. A wonderfully intelligent dog plays an Important role in the picture. The leading characters are portrayed by Viola Vale, Alexander Gaden, Robert Walker, Bert Sprotte, Helen Holly and Chief Standing Bear. The story was written by Hart himself, and is typical of the plains during the early fifties. Completing the program there will be a “Bill rnd Bob” Boy Scout picture, "The American Badger," and Monte Bank’s farce, “In and Out.” MAY MACAVOY APPEARS IN "MORALS.” May MaeAvoy, a young Realart star, will be seen at Mister Smith's Theater beginning Sunday in "Morals,” an adaption of “The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne,” one of the most popular of William J. Locke's novels of English life. The young star lias the role of Carlottn, the orphaned baby of English parents. who is brought up in the Turkish harem of llamdi Effemii. To avoid being sold in marriage to au old Mohammedan, she runs away with Harry Robinson, a young English adventurer with whom she has been flirting from her window. Sir Marcus Ordej-ne, a staid Englishman, who is immersed In books and mildly interested in Judith Mainwaring, Is musing on a park bench when his attention is distracted by an oddly dressed waif. Carlotta's Harry has been killed in a railroad aeoident and the poor little exTurkish girl is helpless in London. Sir Marcus out of sheer pity takes her home and finds no way of disposing of her. so she remains under the care of his housekeeper. Her innocence and total ignorance of the conventions of Anglo-Saxon countries provides a maze of eompli- 1 cations that utterly upset the ordered life of Sir Marcus. He thinks he doesn't ' like this, until an absence of a few days ' brings him to the realization that he j loves Carlotta. Carlotta loves him, but only as a grateful child loves its benefactor. In the meantime Judith Mainwaring, always

tremendously more interested in Sir Marcus than he ever was in her, plants the seeds of jealousy by telling Sir Marcus that Carlotta is desperately in love with Pasquale. On the other band, she tells Carlotta that Sir Marcus is going to marry her merely out of pity, as he really loves her (Judith). This leads Carlotta to an impetuous elopement”with Pasquale, which she repents before the train has long been out of the station, and the end finds Carlotta and Sir Marcus reunited. Miss MaeAvoy is supported by Wil- < ton tinned on Page Nine.)
