A comedy, “A Man of Action” with Douglas Mac Lean, will be on view at Mister Smith's. The feature at the Isis the first half of next week will be Hoot Gibson in “Dead Game.’ -I- I' I’ “The Hero" Defines What a Hero Is and Should Be What is a hero? It is this apparently simple question that Gilbert Emery asks in his play, “The Hero,” which is to he the attraction at the Ohio all next week. But the answer provided by the author proves that the question not only Is difficult, but Is fraught with compelling interest. The locale is a small town, but the story is true to family experiences on Main St. of any town in this country.' The characters might be next-door neighbors of any one. The story tells of two brothers of contrasting natures, one a wastrel, who leaves disgrace behind him to Join the Foreign Legion: the other a plodding, uninteresting fellow, whose period is spent in an inglorious effort to keep a roof over the head of his family. The prodigal returns from France with wounds and decorations, an idol of the war-mad public. But he soon sinks back into the lowest depths of depravity, finding time in his idleness to disrupt the peace of his brother’s household and to steal funds intrusted to his brother’s care. How his regeneration is affected through another glorious sacrifice is the basis of the remainder of the plot The cast includes Gaston Glass, John Salnpolis and Barbara LaMarr, the lovely dark-eyed heroine of “The Prisoner of Zenda” and “Trifling Women.” who has the principal feminine role, while others in the cast include Davis Butler, Doris Pawn. Ethel Shannon, Martha Mattox and Frankie Lee. A news weekly. “Round Ten” of “Fighting Blood.” and music by Schuyler Alward's orcrestra are th other features.

Frank Bor/age’s Latest Production Due at Circle “Children of Dust.” the latest Frank Borzage production, adapted from Tristam Tupper’s story. “Terwilliger.” which ran in a well known magazine a few weeks ago. comes to the Circle Sunday. “Children of Dust” tells the story of a wealthy little girl and her two childhood sweethearts, Terwilliger, the adopted son of Old Archer, the care-taker of Gramercy Park, in New York, and Harvey Raymond, the son of one of the wealthy families who live close by. There Is bitter rovalry between the two boys for Helen's favor, which continues as they grow into manhood. Both are called to service in the World War, and here they become buddies. Terwilliger, believing that Helen loves Harvey, who has been chosen by Helen's parents as a mate befitting her station In life, permits Harvey to tell her that he, Terwilliger, is dead. Helen learns that Terwilliger has lied because he thought she loved Harvey, and when Terwilliger’s return proves that he Is very much alive, she admits she has always loved him. Pauline Garon, who has achieved stardom In this production, after a short but meteoric career, appears as Helen Raymond; Johnny Walker of “Over the Hill” fame, is Terwilliger, and Lloyd Hughes is the unsuccessful rival, Harvey Raymond. Bert Woodruff and George Nichols are also In the cast. Josephine Adair, Frankie Lee and Newton Hall portray the three principal characters as children. There will he an organ solo, “Yes, We Have No Bananas,” played by Miss Dessa Burd at the Circle grande organ. There will be an overture, played by the Circle orchestra.
