RECALLS OLDEN TIMES IN LAND OF MARE BELIEVE

Bv W ALTER D. HICRMAX •When I saw thè "shadow” of Flora Finch In "When Knighthood Waa in Flower,” it brought back memori es of days long gone in movieland. Flora F'inch was, in thè days of yesterday, leading “funny woman" for thè late John Bunny. In those days Miss Finch was not cali ed a comedienne, but just a "funny woman." John Bunny, with his several hundred pounds of flesh, frolics no more on thè screen. He answered his laat summons years ago. Flora Finch has come out of retirement for a little while and she plays just a comic bit in " When Knighthood Was in Flower.” She is cast as a giddy lady in waiting at thè court of Louis XII. of France. Louis, thè old ras coi, thinklng he ls young again, plays blind man’s buff with thè fair ladies of his gay court. Louis toddles about and linally discovers thè “beautiful'’ Flora. John Bunny had much respect for thè comedy work of Flora Finch. Once' in Terre Haute, when Bunny was maklng a tlyer in musical comedy in person. he told me, between naps at thè dinner table, of his respect for Flora Finch. At that tlme Bunny was suffering from “sleeplng sickness,” and lt was nearly impossible to keep hlm awake between courses.

'TURKEYS'BILLAT ' PICTUREHOUStS (Continti ed FVom Page Slx) as Mary Tudor. As prevlously stated in thls department, it is a “gorgeous picture.” The cast indudes Forrest Stanley, Pedro De Cordoba. Ernest Oiendennlng. Flora Finch and many others. Undoubtedly one of thè best pictures of thè vear. Joseph Urban. io designed thè scenery for “Mecca" .. id “Aphrodite,” is responsible for thè .rernie equipment in thls picture. A special musical score ls plaved. Ev-e-rything ls atmospheric at thè Ohio. Even thè ushers are dressed as kr.ights of thè olden days. •!* -!* -IAt thè Apollo "DOCTOR JACK”—ThIs is thè second long feature made by Harold T.loyd. His flrst one was *‘Grandmà’s Boy.” It is now movie history. The story of "Dctor Jack” centers about a "slck little wel! girl” in whose home an “eminent" physician was havlng tne Urne of his lise. This doctor saw to it that his patlent was always "ili.” He prospered until “Dr. Jack” (Lloyd) arrives on thè scene. Jack had dif-fe-ent methods. Instead of puttlng a thermometer in thè mouth of thè “pick” little wel! girl he places a stick of candy. Of course, Dr. Jack .and thè girl fallir. love. The cast P ineludes Mildred Davis, Eric Mayne, John T. Brìnce. Xortnan Hammond and Mrs Anna Townsend, who was Grandma in "Grandma’s Boy." At thè Apollo next week. BILL IXCLUDE3—"The Drifter.” Tad Dolan’s Syncopated Slx and a news weekly. -I- -I- -IAt thè Isis “ROMANCE AND ARABELLA”— A comedy with Constance Talmadge. At thè Isis next week. Story was written by Walter Hurlbut. Miss Talmadge ls seen às a young widow seeking a eecond lise partner, with a romantic soul. Four or live men are in thè runnlng for her heart and hand, among the-m a thoroughly practical chap, who ls aware that grocery bilia and thè rent man must be met with something more tangible than “romance.” He seems to be badly handiccpped by his impractical. but more romantic, rlvals at thè start, but in thè end thè young woman’s good eense Comes to her rescue and he gal lops for a marriage llcense, leaving thè others far outdlstanced In thè race. The supporting cast lncludes Harrlson Ford, Monte Blue. Antrim Short. Arthur Carew, Gertrude Claire and James Nelli. BILL INCLTJDES—“The Noble Bachelor," another Sherlock Holmes adventure, and thè fourth episode of thè serial, “In thè Days of Buffalo | Bill.” 1 -I- -I- -IAt Mister Smith’s "THE KICK-BACK” —A new Harry Carey movie.

It was thè strangest dinner party I ever attended. -I- -I- -ILouise Closser Hale of Indianiapoliß, seen here last season as Grandma Bett In “Miss Lulu Bett,” ls now on Broadway, playing thè chief role in “Hospitality,” thè second production of thè Equity Players. Miss Halc is cast as a strange mother who decides to “wreck” thè home of her own son aster he is married. Tom Power, formerly of thè Stuart Walker players here, is cast as thè son whose home is wrecked. Rather a strange theme because thè situations are not normal. It has been decided in New York that Miss Hale’s work is a masterpiece, but there is some doubt about thè play being a popular success. The next ten days will teli thè story. -!• -I- -IThe Park Theater next week becomes a Columbia wheel burlesque house. This house attempted to experlment with Shubert unlt vaudeville. The “units” were wlthdrawn several weeks ago and up to this time independent road shows have been booked to fili In thè tlme • until thè Columbia shows open. It has been my experlence that thè Columbia wheel as a medium of burlesque ls thè best before thè publlc today. I have been told thè Park will get thè big city shows of thè Columbia wheel.
