Barthelmess Glorifies American Boy; Frank Keenan Contributes Good Acting

By WALTER D. HICKMAN AMERICAN BOYS are great heroes. A Yankee lad just naturally lerds himself to romance in the stbry books, on the screen and in real life. Dick Barthelmess in “The Bright Shawl” glorifies the American boy. We like to see our heroes be real Americans. Barthelmess is a real American and she knows how to reflect romance and daring on the screen. In his is a hero in Cuba hero wears the attire of those must have a necktje made of lace. BARTHELMESS A high hat was also necessary at all times. To be a gentleman of that period one was required to be handy with the sword in order to Impress those present that all gentlemen will fight when necessary. I am mighty fond of this new Barthelmess picture because he has given us a Yankee hero of other days. It is a good deal like opening up a picture album of one's grandmother. Everything is so quaint. It Is not necessary, I take it, to go into detail concerning the story. I found that the charming and romantic atmosphere of the story lias been carried onto the screen. Also that a splen-. did cast has given us some interesting characterizations. The heavy work of the picture is done by Barthelmess, Dorothy Gish as a Spanish dancer and the owner of the “bright shawl;” May Astor, Anders Randolf, Jetta Goudal, Margaret Seddon and William Powell. Miss GLsh Wears A Wicked Shawl As Dorothy Gish Is the one w-ho wears the “bright shawl,” we are of course interested in her. She is one of the tools used by the Cubans In their fight for freedom. Barthelmess lines up with the Cubans because the girl he loves is willing to die for Cuba's freedom.- Before the story ends, the shawl becomes brighter because it is colored with human blood during a fight for freedom. As the Spanish dancer, Miss Gish has given the screen a charming picture of a saucy and worldly miss who mixes patriotism and love together. You will love to remember Miss Gish and Barthelmess for their excellent work in “The Bright Shawl.” The director has done wonders in photographing the romance and intrigue of Cuba. It is a beautiful picture. “The Bright Shawl” is the movie feature at the Circle this week. The bill includes a musical novelty, a wonderful demonstration of the ability of the Circle's orchestra and a unique Howe comedy cartoon affair. ff r *l* “i* Meet a New Main Street Serial Hero Did you enjoy “The Leather Push j ers?” Sure you did.

George O'Hara and Clara Horton are the chief pjayera in the series. Many well-known sport celebrities will appear In the other rounds, I am Informed. Am sure you will find this new serial c'ean fun and It will appeal to every one who enjoys sporting events and even those who read only the Congressional Record will like “FigWting Blood.” Am rather anxious to see the other rounds. These rounds have been booked at the Ohio, the first one being on view this week. On the bill is “Hearts Aflame,” wjth Anna Q. Nilsson and Frank Keenan. This is a story of the lumber regions. Os course there Is a forest fire and a largo bunch of rascals. Interest will center upon the work of Frank Keenan. The author probably did not Intend that the character impersonated by lOenan should be the dominating influence of the story, and yet It Is the acting of Keenan which gives the picture whatever merit It possesses. Keenan Is cast as an aged lumber king who has a passion for cutting down pine forests. He loses interest

More Thoughts on The Best Boy Actor Jackie Coogan is appearing this week In "Daddy,” a movie story written by his ma and pa, at Mister Smith’s. I have gone Into detail before concerning "Daddy.” This Is a made-to-order picture for this boy star. It written and put togather, but It again v *j§ proves that Jackie ■ American public or JBy’ A®,’ press real tears as jiffi easy as a duck S can swim. Jackie has a chance to romp with the COOGAN pigs, chickens and the cows down on the farm. You will laugh when he attempts to milk a cow. You will cry' when an old master of the violin passes away while Jackie Is playing on the violin. One of the rarest attributes that Coogan has is that he interests grownups as well as children. When this chap flashed across the screen for the first time with Chaplin, many thought that the child’s artistry was due to Chaplin. Now we know, after seeing Jackie In "Daddy,” that this lad is a great artist. If you haven’t seen “Daddy,” go to Smith’s this week with your family and have a good cry and many laughs.

Pastor Declares New Tyranny Faces Us

“We face anew tyranny,” declared Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks Sunday at All Souls Unitarian Church. "Not the despotism of a monarch, but oppressive measures passed by a majority; at times by an active minority.” “If laws are not appealed to public opinion Is used to whip people Into line with the opinions of the majority," Dr. Wicks declared. Continuing, he said: “This country was born In a passion for liberty. For that our fathers lived, fought and died. At the same time they saw the necessity of defining the limits of personal liberty, and to that end they framed a constitution and enacted laws. Steadily these laws have multiplied until we need to take account of stock end see how much liberty we ha e left. "Our recent I/egislatures indulged in a perfect debauch in passing laws. Our own Legislature came near enacting a law which would forbid spending Memorial day as we wished. Another law proposed was to have some Infallible censor appointed who should decide the kind of moving pictures we would be allowed to see. So Innumerable have these laws becor e that the most law-abiding citizen may find himself Innocently in their mesh. Some laws Invade Personal Liberty “Many of those laws are just and necessary': other are Illegitimate Invasions of personal liberty. "It Is time to stop and consider where the line should be drawn between the rights of the Individual and the rights of all. How far can

"We need protection against the tyranny of prevailing opinion and against the tendency of society to Impose Its own peculiar views and practices as rules of conduct upon those who dijsent from them. "There Is an appropriate region for the exercise of personal liberty. It Is the Inward domain of consciousness. demanding liberty of conscience, thought, feeling and opinion on all subjects. This requires liberty of tastes and pursuits, fr .ning of one’s life to suit his own character, doing what we like subject to such consequences rs may follow with i.o impediment from others so long as we harm no one but ourselves," he said.
