FAMOUS NOVEL CHANGED INTO SCREEN DRAMA (Continued From Page Six.) knew fared hen and entered tbe battle determined to win. It was a hard struggle, but worth the price, and the result was the awaking of man to see that equal rights meant something more than that woman was a household drudge or ornament. Nazimova selected her own cast, which Includes Alan Hale as her leading man, Nigel De Brulier, Wedgwood Nowell ana others. . , The program Includes the usual short subjects and special music. -I- -1- -IISI9 TO PRESENT •TEN NIGHTS IN A BARROOM.' A. T. Arthur’s effective story against the curse of drink, “Ten Nights In A Barroom,” one of the most widely read novels ever published and which, in play form, enjoyed many years of popularity cn the stage, has come to the screen in a far more realistic fashion than it could be produced in the legitiment theater, and will be the Isis feature all next week. Classed as the greatest j.-otest against alcohol ever conceived without doubt Mr. Arthur’s story did much to pave the way for public sentiment in favor of prohibition, and strange as it may seem now that prohibition Is the law of the land, “Ten Nights In A Rarroom” Is proving a phenomlnal box office magnet as a picture, It is said. Most everyone is familiar with its story of the down fall of Joe Morgan, a young man who inherited wealth and his fathers business, but who Is reduced to poverty and the pitiful plight of the town drunkard through his addiction to

strong drink. His wife, once the prettiest girl In the village, is forced to do washings to support herself and her little daughter whose death as the reslult of hex loyal interference between her father and a liquor seller who attacks him, finally brings about Morgan’s regeneration and makes a man of him again. The cqmedv portion of the program will be supplied in the farce “A Studio Rube.” In which the principal fun maker !s AL St. John.

THTRD WEEK FOR “FOOLISH WIVES." Probably never before la tbe history of moving pictures has a film been made which entailed such a vast amount of detail as "Foolish Wives,’’ the super-fea-ture produced under the direction of Erich von Stroheim at Universal City, and which begins its third week at the Ohio Sunday. The picture ca’’cd for work on a set representing * suite in the Hotel de Pari* at Monte Carlo, for which the furniture and decorations were copied from actual photographs, while the towels, napkins, bedspreads and other linens were embroidered with the crest and name of the hotel. TV.s conformity to detail Is typical of that observed for the entire film. In one particular set representing a view of Monte Carlo from the sea, it was necessary to have majestic rows of cypress trees to partly conceal the pretentious structures from the Mediterranean. To complete this scene eighty cypress trees were ordered by Von Stroheim to be transplanted from Del Monte to Monterey. Twenty thousand square feet of lawn were transplanted from the front lawn of the studio to the back ranch for the Monte Carlo set to lend general attractiveness to the scene. A caravaD of SOO people Journeyed from the studio to Monterey at one time, for the production of Borne of the most Interesting scenes in the whole film. Bridges, terraces, roads and woods were built up to make this gigantic scene true to the original. -!- -!- TRIPLE HEADLINE BILL ANNOUNCED AT CIRCLE. Will Rogers In “Doubling for Romeo,” The Four Seasons" and a stage presentation, “On the Levee," are to share honors at the Circle next week. Rogers is seen as a love-lorn, lazy, reckless Arizona cowboy, with only one idea in mind, to win the love of the pretty daughter of the ranch boss. She tires of his unromantic love-making, his awkwardness and general worthless appearance, and sends him away with instructions not to return until he becomes a polished loTemaker. He ha* an idea that he can get all the olish one man needs from the movies, and he goes to Hollywood. He gets a place In a production, but he can’t make love and out he gos. He hasn’t spent ail his time, however, for nothing, because he watched the heroes in melodrama, cave man stuff and some of the matinee idols, and returns to the ranch with a Jumble of plans to work out. Forced to the limit by a second final decision of the sweetheart that she will have nothing to do with him, he tecomes a Romeo, determined to make records on the plains. With a Shakespearean out-:

tlon. The birthday of General Grant, to celebrate which the legion will assist tbe G. A. R., will be observed April 27. That of General Lee will be observed Jan. 19, 1923. The National legion’s celebration of the birth of these great American* will be “an effective argument that all sectionalism Is buried and that the glory of the Nation is the chief concern of every patriotic citizen.” Lemuel Bolles, login® adjutant, declares. The naval aviation post of the American Legion, New York City, composed principally of officers listed In the social register, has relinquished its charter because of the National organization’s fight for adjusted compeusation. "Cancellation of tb's post's charter reduces tbe total number of legion posts from 11,, 022 to 11,021," National Commander MacN'ider said when told of the r ival unit's action. “Fifty-six new pos hare been chartered since April 1. Tt loss of the naval aviation unit, therefore, '•educes our net, increase for thirteen days to only fifty-five posts." Fed upon “wrong number,” line’s busy” and “line's out of order,” the American l.egion post of Decatur, Ark., bought the city’s telephone company and, after overhauling the system, will operate It. The practice of prohibition enforcement officials wearing the Army uniform to trap violators of the liquor law caused the American Legion of Norfolk, Ya., to register a protest tvtth Secretary of War Weeks, who took Immediate action. The legion alleged desecration of the insignia immortalized by American arms during the World War. When the wife of a wounded buddy was desperately ill, physicians appealed to jobless service men in the American Legion barracks. Cleveland, Ohio, for Mood for a transfusion to save her Hfe.

Hanson Ely. commandant of the War service schools at Ft. Leavenworth. Ivan., declared in memorial exercises conducted by the American Legion. Beneral Ely pleaded for adequate care of the war disabled and adjusted compeusation. Cupid Is making such war romance inroads in the memberfship of an American Legion post of Minneapolis, Minn., composed entirely of Army and Navy nurses, that a men's auxiliary, composed of husbands of the fair legionnaires, is being planned. "Use of the Stars and Stripes to advertise a Junk shop or a fish market now 'is forbidden In New York. Following In the American Legion's Issuance of instructions r on how to respect the flag, the New York legislature passed a bill prohibiting reproductions of the flag on ..business stationery.” When Maj. Gen Clarence R. Edwards, leader of the Yankee division in the World War, asked a group of American Legion men at Holyoke, Mass., what type of adjusted c ompensation they would take, 85 per selected the insurance feature. If per cent the. farm and home aid and the rest declared for vocational training. The part that America played in the World War will be portrayed by a huge painting given by the Americnn Legion and preserved by the French government in the World War exhibit In the Musee de' l'Armee, Invalides, Paris, France. The museum, founded by Napoleon as a home for his soldiers was visited by thousands of Yankee doughboys during the war.
