1- T -i----*One Exciting Night” Arouses Interest in Movies An announcement of unusual interest to motion picture fans is that the new Griffith production. "One Exciting Night,” which marks the advent of the popular mystery story on the screen, will be the attraction at the Circle, beginning Sunday. The plot is based on the love story, of the beautiful Agnes Fairfax, played fcy Carol Dempster, who is to sacrifice herself by marrying J. Wilson Roekmaine, a middle-aged mUllonair®, in order to satisfy her mother’s ambition, and the suspicion cast on her sweetheart, John Fairfax, by the murder of a gang of bootleggers who have made his home their headquarters , while he was absent on a trip to Europe. Into this Mr. Griffith has injected all the ingredients of the mystery story, and each character in the story ■becomes more or less involved in the tangle before the climax comas In a tremendously realistic storm scene, in which the real culprit is edscoversd. Bowing to Mr. Griffith's request, the solution to the mystery will not be revealed. Carol Dempster plays the leading feminine role, and Henry Hull is cast as her sweetheart. Others appearing in this photoplay are C. H. Crocker-King, Morgan Wallace. Porter Strong, Margaret Dale, Frank Sheridan and Frank Wundertae. A special musical setting has been arranged for the picture by SL Leopold Kohls. Owing to the great length of “One Exciting Night*’ all short .subjects will be eliminated. -I- + + Win Rogers in Role of Ichabod Crane. Washington's Irving’s classic, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," brought to the screen under the tide of "The Headless Horseman,” with Will Rogers starred in the role of Ichabod Crane, the Yankee schoolmaster, one of the most beloved characters in the annals of American fiction, comes to the Apollo next week. As portrayed by a comedian of Ttogers’ attainments Ichabod is a likable, lovable old chap, whose dire adventures during the course of his courtship with Katrina Van Kassel, "belle of the little Dutch settlement, where the schoolfimster goes to teach, create no end of laughter. Ichabod’s narrow escape Trom being ■the victim of a tar and feather party, *o*t his encounter with the ghostly *ft*adless horseman," whose night Tiding terrorized the inhabitants of Sleepy Hollow, furnish thrills enough Tor any picture. Most of the scenes were pboto--jrraphed in the exact vicinity where Irving’s story was laid and in this connection it may be truthfully said that “The Headless Horseman” is rich in historical lore. Lois Meredith and Ben Hendricks, Jr., head the supporting cast. Buster Keaton, in anew comedy, •'‘The Frozen North,” the Fox news -weekly, and “Fun From the Press” will be subsidiary attractions. There -will be an organ recital by Lester Huff and melody entertainment supplied by Virgil Moore’s Apolio orchestra. 4* •!• + Farcy Appears in Another Rapid Western Feature Harry Carey’s new super-Western production, “Good Men and True,”

COUE GRAZE HITS MOVIE sera Autosuggestion Figures in Dalton Film. NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—Neath an Egyptian moon love had whispered, according to the sub-title, and so Lord Wallington came on from Cairo to be present when the announcement of his engagement to Ruth Rutherford was made. He gave Ruth two spirited Arabian horses, and one of them was so devilish that it was named Untamable. It is difficult to say why he gave her the horse —he didn’t want her to ride it. But she did. And she took a nasty spill. No white doctor could help Ruth, and she was a wheel-chair invalid until Dr. All took over the case. He made her well by autosuggestion, an Egyptian form of Coueism aa It were. Now Dr. Ali happened to be an enemy of Lord Wallington and he had struck a nefarious bargain with Ruth. When she had regained her health she reneged on the payment but Ali was bent on collecting wher an Egyptian valet stuck a knife ir his back. As Ali died he ordered Rut! back into her chair and put the curst of Allah (whatever that is) on her. Lord Wallington had returned to Egypt and was mopping up a lot of hard liquor, as the boys sav. to forget his worm' about Ruth. When Ruth heard of that she went all the way to Egypt in her wheel chair and Wal lington braced himself up, as they say. The valet sneaked up on Wallington with a knife in his hand and Ruth jumped out of her chair to stop him. Then the servant said he wasn’t going to stab Wallington, anyway. He Just wanted to get Ruth out of the chair and thus show her that her trouble was only mentai. The above is the story of "Park Secrets,” Dorothy Dalton's latest picture. Apparently the Coue craze was foreseen by the movie producers, since this picture was made several months Hgo. However, the autosuggestlve idea will gain Itttio support through this movie.. It is Inadequately and unconvincingly set forth. The Coue idea sounds better than it looks. The Idea itself Is an old one. It gains widespread attention at this time because Coue sets it forth In a way that pleases the ear, John Emerson, president of the Actors’ Equity Association, protests to Will Hays about the morality clause in movie players’ contracts. His contention is that this clausa Is a reflac tlon on the characters of all actors since a similar clause Is not included in managers' contracts. I believe his point is well taken. In the few big scandals that have affected the movie industry, others than actors have had a prominent part. The actors have borne the brunt of incrimination be cause their names are better known.
