‘Polecat Perfume’ Wrecks Snub Pollard; ‘Children of Dust’ Is a Dream Gem

By WALTER D HICKMAN “POLECAT PERFUME” caused our comical friend, Snub Pollard, not only to bury his ambitions but his clothes. I have seen many animals used in screen comedies, but it remained for Pollard’s “CaliforSnia or Bust” to introduce “polecat perfume.” Pollard and his comedy assistant nearly had to resort to a barrel, but a sheet or two answered the purpose. This new comedy idea is on view at the Apollo this week. Also on view *'* r ' '-£ is that old veteran of proper meloSNUB drama, “Westbound POLLARD Limited.” In the Pollard movie there is a cyclone, a really funny one. While the wind is blowing a house away rollard is taking a quiet little nap. He then decides that Kansas cyclones are not to his lilting and that California sunshine is the thing for him. So the trip overland begins in a flivver. The scene at the auto camping park is a scream. It is there that Pollard runs on to anew brand of perfume. This Snub Pollard comedy is slapstick, but it is crowded full of many laughs. The tollgate episode is just about as clever a hoakum scfene as one would expect to find any place. There is a corking good comedy idea when Pollard is introduced to California sunshine. It turns out to be rain. Even the orange crop is unfriendly.

The serious part of the bill is a melodrama,” Westbound Limited,” a railroad story. Ralph Lewis, who did so much with “The Third Alarm” is the chief actor. He Is the heroic engineer. Here is good melodrama from the old school all dressed up iii 1923 movie style. There is a sensational fire scene with . great fast train spinning over the tracks. Oh, there are many thrills in this melodrama. It is wholesome and interesting. If you like melodrama, then “Westbound Limited” was madS for you. The bill includes a tantalizing little organ solo by Lester Huff, a clever little song by a member of Virgil Moore’s orchestra and a weekly. At the Apollo all week. -1- -I- -I' Doug Mac Lean Returns in a Smart Comedy Douglas Mac Lean lately has gone In for smart comedy work. He will be remembered for “The Hottentot,” and now comes along “A Man of Action.” It is on view this week at Mister Smith’s. It is a mixture of comedy and mystery drama. Mac Lean Is not a noisy comedian. He belongs to the polite comedy school and we all agree that we need more of his type. He lately seems to be waiting for the style of movie which suits his talents. And that is something these days. Previously in this department I

Into the Maw of the Inferno

have discussed Mac Lean and “A Man of Action.” It is not necessary now to repeat my views. I found it smart entertainment, with the mystery idea well handled in relation to the comedy trend of the yarn'. x -I- -I- -I* “Children of Dust” Gets Close to Your Heart There are many warm l%eart beats in “Children of Dust.” It is one of those quiet, well-man-nered little affairs of sentiment which gives the screen added dignity. Frank Borzage, who directed “Humoresque,” is responsible for “Children of Dust,” now on view at the Circle. Pauline Garon is in the that the themes which will warm '■f' 5; _ you. ‘‘Children of Dust” belongs ■K, 'jgg-k ■/' to the better class i.jr'’ v of movie entertainment. The PAULINE story is different GARON from the regular run. It even reminds one of “Buddies.” Plays and movies of this class talk to the heart. It will warm you with gladness and thrill you with the knowledge that there is such a thing as real friendship. The story is a simple affair—it concerns a wealthy girl and her two sweethearts. One is wealthy, the other is not. Even when they were children, they played .pirate and buried a S2O gold piece in a public park. This little game of childhood has great bearing upon the adult life of these three characters. There is so much beautiful sentiment and so much good acting in “Children of Dust” that I feel I cannot go wrong in recommending it. The cast includes such worthwhlles as Lloyd Hughes, Harvey Raymond, Bert Woodruff, George Nichols and others. Some of the best work is done by a man playing the role of “Dad.” He is the gardener of the park. I do not recall his name but his work will linger many months in your memory. This movie is such a welcomed relief from the things one expects on the screen. It is not all sentimental mush, the director is too wise to make it too slushy with sentiment. The actors know how to act, not overact.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES.

On every hand you can see the effect of the guiding finger of the man who made “Humoresque.” The bill includes music by the Circle orchestra, an organ novelty, “Yes, We Have No Bananas,” a news weekly and a comedy. Nearly forgot to tell you that “Children of Dust” is a First National ihctory. At the Circle all week. -I- -I- -I- " Why Do Mothers Always Like ‘Black Sheep’ the Best? Have always wanted to know why mothers are so fond of their own black sheep? By black sheep, I mean the son who has so much bad in him and so much good in him that he keeps everyone guessing. In “The Hero” at the Ohio this week, we have such a mother ' and such a black sheep. And he starts out like a hero, then puts on his black pk clothes and ends up as a real hero. Gaston Glass is ■M the so-called “black sheep” and ' JmL the-fire type of a . JHgft son. Barbara LaMarr is one of the near victims of the '‘jjßHffll: “sheep.” Here we have a melodraY matlc theme hanBARBARA died on a more LAMARR than an average high plane. There are two acting tri-

umphs, the work of Glass and that of Sainpolis as the good son. Sainpolis has given the screen a definite characterization of a man who knows no romance. He is a good husband, a church worker, a man who works hard to make a small salary. He the salt of the earth, but no I one recognizes his valuer It is he who keeps the fire in the stove and the roof over the heads of all. The dramatic crash comes when the "black sheep” stoops so low as to steal SSOO of chupch money intrusted to his good brother. With this stolen money in his pocket, the "sheep” takes off his coat of black, turns real hero by rescuing children from a burning school b.uildlng. So I take it th -t a mother understands the struggle in the heart of a man who has both good and bad in him. It is just a little melodramatic story, but I liked it because of the sincere acting of Glass and Sainpolis. The bill includes the tenth round of “Fighting Blood,” a news reel and some good popular music of the day. At the Ohio all week.

Here Is the Champion Long-Distance Celebration A New Year’s celebration which lasted until Washington’s Birthday failed to cheer a cowboy known as “Katy” Didd, in “Dead Game,” the current attraction at the Isis, In which Hoot Gibson is featured. An old settler discovers the trouble and advises the cowboy to go after the girl, who is the cause for all the gloom, just as he would a horse that was stolen. Katy is forced to kidnap the girl from a stage coach, wander around on the desert for three days, break in a wild horse, gamble with his rival and do many other difficult things in order to win the girl, who wants him to do “big things-” There is plenty of action In the picture, and Hoot Gibson in the role of “Katy” proves equal to the occasion. The program includes' “Chop Suey Louis,” a Billy Rhoades comedy. (By the Observer.) -I- -I- -IThe legitimate attractions on view today include “The Gold Diggers,” at English’s; "The Ruined Lady,” at the Murat; McDevit, Kelly and Quinn, at the Palace; De Haven and Nice at the Lyric: "The Angel Child,” a revue, and Harold Lloyd in “Safety Last,” at the Rialto, and “Johnny Get Your Gun,” at the municipal theater at Garfield Park.
