ROMANCE, THRILLS, .LAUGHS IN BILLS AT THE IVIES Barthelmess Has Romantic Role in ‘Bright Shawl’ at the Circle. CHIEF MOVIE OFFERINGS next week will include Richard Barthelmess in “The Bright Shawl” at the Circle; Anna Q. Nilsson in “Hearts Aflame” at the Ohio and Jackie Coogan in “Daddy” at Mister Smith’s. Barthelmess in his latest movie has the support of such well known players as Mary Astor and Dorothy Gish, The story, it is said, gives Barthelmess a splendid romantic opportunity. The Ohio next week will offer a triple bill with the Nilsson movie featured, A novelty will be “Fighting; Blood,” a fight story. Mister Smith’s has wisely chosen a mixture of laughs and sentiment in presenting Jackie Coogan in “Daddy.” Barthelmess Has Big Cast in New Movie A picture representing the most ambitious undertaking Richard Barthelmess has yet made for the screen < omes to the Circle Sunday. , It is the film version of Joseph I Herge=heimer’s story. “The Bright 1 Shawl." dealing with the days of Spanish oppression in Cuba. In order to obtain the proper atmosphere, a large part of the story was filmed In Cuba, the balanaoe being made In New Tork. John S. Robertson, responsible for such productions as “Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” and “Sentimental Tommy.” as wejl as ‘Toss of the Storm Country." is the director. Barthelmess has perhaps the most romantic role of his entire screen career, that of an adventurous young American who takes up the cause of the rebels and incidentally falls in love with the daughter of a rebel leader. The complications which ensue when La Clavel, a Spanish dancer, the favorite of the most despised of the Spanish officers, becomes infatuated with the young American, who encourages her so that he may gain information of value to the rebels, are said to make an exciting movie. Supporting the star is Dorothy Gish as La Clavel, the dancer; Mary Astor, as his sweetheart; Anders Randolf. as the Spanish tyrant, and others are William Powell, Margaret Seddon, Jetta Gondal and Lois Albemi. There will be a unique piano diver - tisement, a comedy cartoon and the Clrclette cf News. The overture will be “A Midsummer Night's Dream." by Mendelssohn.
Lengthy Movie Bill Next Week at Ohio “Hearts Aflame,” a thriller of the big woods; “Round One” of “Fighting , Blood,” a short length story of the * sporting world, adapted from H. C.

Nilsson and Frank Keenan, besides a large supporting cast of able players, which includes Richard Headrick, child actor; Craig Ward, Russell Simpson, Richard Tucker, Martha Mattox, Walt Whitman, Joan Standing, Gordon Magee and Irene Hunt, besides hundreds of “extra” players. In the story of “Hearts Aflame” there is a young man, son of a millionaire lumber merchant, who hopes to show his father the consequences of the ruthless destruction of the forests. It is only by the unfortunate and timely aid of a forest fire that he is able to convince his father that he must save the forests by planting trees. "Round One" of H. C.

Mason Hopper and supported by Arthur Edmund Car ewe, Ceasre Gravlni, Josie Sedgwick. Bert Woodruff. Anna Townsend and George Kuwa. Another important member of the cost is "Mildred,” who is just a plain pig, but she is the source of much laughter, as she follows Jackie about the farm in the hope that he will milk the cow and feed her through a nursing bottle.
