‘Girl’ Is Screen’s Choicest Cameo; Hard Job to Fit Elephant Into Movie
BY WALTER D. HICKMAN { i PTAHE GIRL OF THE GOLDEN J WEST” is the screen's I"*" choicest cameo. I compare this photoplay to a cameo because “Mister” Webster in his .big book of words defines as "a I gem carved in relief.” The "Girl” movie dates back to those days of play construction when the play was the thing. It tells a big love story in % - if-.ir, .1-. syn A a klg way. The people concerned are real men ,j and women, not H-jPP steam-heated 1mW ltatlons. It Is o jdp an old ashiofned melodrama and - $ how frail and V • % f* ;? , weak does some -jj of our "current day" creampuff dramas appr pear in eomparIson. This old - play has teeth and backbone. SYLVIA Its very name BREAMER as a photoplay attractions invites respect and after you have seen it, it is my prediction you will think the movies are more grand and glorious than ever before. I wanted to stand up on my feet and yell with real joy while I witnessed this movio at the Circle. I know that such a yelling stunt isn’t just being done this season, but I nearly yielded, but I can “yell” with jcy as much as I please in this department. “The Girl of the Golden West,” as a photoplay rather challenges the entire movie world. This picture takes its place right alongside with the few top-notch photoplays.* This Edwin Carewe production has the real stuff In it which makes a super-photoplay. Asa movie the “Girl” is just as glorious entertainment as it was when Blanche Bates played In it upon the stage many years ago. The Cast Is as Good in Every Detail as the Story Sylvia Breamer plays the role of the “girl” and she puts a real heart and soul in the body of our heroine who stakes all in one game of cards. She Is nearly nagnlficent in the car scene with the sheriff where the stakes are the “girl” of her bandit sweetheart. Here is true heart melodrama, wonderfully acted. Russell Simpson has mad* a name for himself in this movie. In any production of the "Girl” it seems that the sheriff makes individual history. 1 Simpson seems to be a “carving” . ’:f on yfuBNUSSfEm This " a queer mixture of the \ law and a high £ sense of duty Jf JHfe. when honor is at stake in & card game. He is a $ good gambler. 4Sm> a1 w ays plays uNNkI JSSj straight, and is riff af" M sSH sure of his aim iSj ¥ when he trains Wt . 4 t his trusty "shooter” on an outlaw. but he looses RUSSELL his biggest game SIMPSON of cards. I doubt if you will find a better drawn character than the sheriff of Simpson in ail the movies which have been ma.de. Our hero, of course, is the bandit who falls head over heels in love with the "girl." This good bad man Is played by J. Warren Kerrigan. Never has Kerrigan looked so “sheikish.” Our hero is a most gallant gentleman. The best w'ork that Kerrigan has done in the last ten years. Must heap lot of applause on Rosemary Theby as the worthless dance hall girl. Here Is an insolently but splendidly played role. Excellent. The entire cast is as excellent as the chief players. The direction masterful and the photography wonderful. lam my watching words —No better movie has ever been made than "The Girl of the Golden West.’ ’ See it at the Circle this week and see if I am right. And Don’t Forget the Wonderful Music I always look for the dew upon the flowers in the morning. Dew is always appropriate. So when I go to hhe Circle I expect to hear appropriate music. This week Is no exception to the rule hut it proves the rule to better advantage. Modest Altschuler and the Circle orchestra are playing the big overture, "112” by Tschaikowsky. Here Is splendid musical food and the

Am sure of that after seeing “Oscar,” a trained elephant, In “Soul ■if ' ’ of the Beast” at ' iSI tlle “Oscar” Isn’t the sort an an *' 4S| mal which one * would to put his arms around, because it would be some job. MB "Oscar" is able to prove that an elephant can do more than push \ ; - circus wagons \ VJB* . and march in a ' parade. "Oscar" is pretty much of MADGE an actor. At least BELLAMY I found the big boy to be such a critter. The camera man must have had one awful job to make "Oscar” fit into the lense of the camera, but he did a good job. "Oscar” plays one of the chief roles in this movie. I consider "Soul of the Beast’’ a novelty film. It isn't often that one sees an elephant playing opposite human beings, but that is what actually happens in this movie. Madge Bellamy and Cullen Landis seem like midgets when "Oscar” is around. Might add that "Oscar” slings a wicked trunk. This elephant gives the villain a well deserved shower bath. I beHeve that “Oscar" would have drowned the villain it Madge Bellamy had not told “Oscar" to turn off the shower. A small town circus is first presented. It exposes the fact that the “wild girl" of a circus side show isn’t a? wild as the announcer would make one believe. Miss Bellamy Is first seen as the trainer of "Oscar” and later she is pressed Into service as the “wild girl” of the circus. She gets her freedom when a storm tears the big top to pieces. Madge and “Oscar” become children of the forest Then Cullen Landis ns a crippled violinist in a Canadian dance hall is in trodueed. Then the romance begins “Oscar” becomes jealous and the villain becomes active.

At the Ohio all week. -I- -I- -IOur Mary Again Pleases In One of Her Best Movies “Daddy Long Legs,” one of the best pictures that Mary Pickford has ever made, has been revived and is being shown as the feature attraction at Mister Smith’s this week. In this picture Mary is seen as the drudge of an orphan asylum, who is a leader In all the childish pranks of that institution. Wesley “Freckles” Barry plays opposite Miss Pickford in the early part of the picture, and the two of them are the cause for much merriment. One of the members of the board of trustees of the asylum becomes interested in Mary and becomes a self appointed guardian. The little orphan girl learns to love him through letters they w r rite back and forth, but he is known only as “Daddy Long Legs,” the name she herself had given him. He finally arranges for her entrance to a girl's finishing school. She decides to become a novelist. In order to repay her guardian. At first she is advised to continue her studies and forget about writing, hut finally she writes about, the orphanage and becomes famous. A little pathos in injected into the story when, on graduation day, she graduated with high honors and there is no one there to meet her, not even “Daddy Long Legs.” Because of her fame as a writer she Is invited to the home of one of the first families, where she finds two suitors for her hand. One she says is too young and the other sho loves, but turns down because of her allegiance to “Daddy Long Legs.” She finally learns that the maa she loves and “Daddy Long Legs” are one and the same. Happy ending. Mahlon Hamilton, Marshall Neilan and others are in the cast. The program includes "See Indianapolis First," a worth while film that has been reviewed before in thes-l columns.
