Gillingwater Repeats Stage Success; Baby Peggy Gives Dog Laughing Gas

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. Repeating a success of the stage on the screen is "some” job. Some lelgitimate ectors are able to do a fine piece of character work on the stage but fail when attempting to do the same character for the movies. Not so with Claude Gillingwater, who was one of the “fools” in the original produc- ™ tion on the stage the same. He ELEANOR was able to bring BOARDMAN to the screen much of the same quiet and individual humor which aided in making the comedy a success on the stage. If the director had been more careful in casting the role of the chief feminine character, the movie version might have been better than the stage version. Eleanor Boardman is cast as Sidney and, to my way of thinking, fails to bring the needed quiet charm and love which the character demands. The three wise fools In the movies are really wonderful from an acting standpoint in the movie version. The “fools” are Gillingwater, William H, Crane and Ajec B. Francis. If you are looking for real comedy work done In a polished and sincere manner, you will find it in large doses in this movie. To my mind, Gillingwater, as a character actor along certain lines, is unequaled both on the stage and the screen. The cast is as follows: Findley Claude Gillingwater Rena Fairchild and Sidney Fairchild. . . Eleanor Boardman Hon. James Trumbull William H. Crane Dr. Gaunt Alec B. Francis John Crawshay John Sainpous Benny the Duck Brinsley Shaw <j ra y Fred Esmelton Gordon' • WUliam Haines Douglas Luclen Littlefield Mickey Zasu Pitts Saunders Martha Mattox Poole Fred 3 Butler Clancy Charles Hic’.man Young Findley Craig Biddle. Jr. Young Trumbull Creighton Hale Young Gaunt Raymond Hatton Also at the Circle this week is the regular orchestral music, an o ‘gen solo by Dessa Byrd. “A Jungle Con. edy” and a news weekly. -I- -I- -ILaughing Gas Makes an Airplane Out of a Dog

Laughing gas makes an aic-p.ane out of Baby Peggy’s pet dog. This happens in “Taking Orders,” the latest Baby Peggy movie, which is being exhibited at the Ohio this week in addition to Anita Stewart in "The Love Piker.” Baby Peggy in this movie starts out as a dentist who “works” on dogs, and the first patient is her own pet dog. She administers laughing gas to the pup in such quantities which cause him to swell up, become an airplane and rail out teSKHBSk of the window. a Baby Peggy grabs hold of a bunch of toy balloons and starts a merry’ chase after the dog. This is not anew stunt in the movies, but it is getting the laughs. The remainder of the movie shows the efforts of Baby Peggy to r keep a roof over ANITA the head of her STEWART father, who runs a dental parlor as well as a restaurant. Peggy becomes a chef and doctors up the food in euch a manner that all customers must seek a dentist. This youngster is a cute little being with two cute eyes and a natural smile. She may never make as much money for her parents as Jackie Coogan is doing, but she is going to be mighty well liked. The other feature on the bill Is Anita Stewart in “The Love Poker." She has needed a good vehicle for months and she Is still needing one badly. “The Love Piker” belongs to the “mush” drama. It is just an average story, acted in the usual average manner. The story concerns the job of transforming a snob of a girl into a real-for-sure girl. And that Is some job, be it in real life or the movies. I suppose that Miss Stewart gets as much out of the role as any one couid, but it takes Anita too long to get human. The story at times is human and has some good character work, espe-

cially that done by the man playing the father of the boy. Schuyler Alward and his orchestra is playing music this week which makes it impossisble for one to keep his feet still. At the Ohio all week. -I- -i- -IIt’s the Girl Who Comes Back This Time We all have heard of "The Man Who Came Back” on the stage, but it remained for the movies to bring the woman back. At the Apollo this week is a double bill: Miriam Cooper in “The Woman Who Came Back” and Snub Pollard in "Before the Public.” Miss Cooper is cast as a woman who becomes a crook. '/* Sr- That is, she steals ■Hr money, a large ' Jif' amount, from a crook who had apTskT ' & propriated the money of others. $ The story administers a kick or a JjiilsJp' 9 punch in that the girl crook years * *'' v ~'<&; afterward marries '’■•‘■llSilis; t^le nmn from whom she stole the money It de . BNLB velops that the POLLARD man isn’t so much of a crook at heart and so it turns out to be a real love affair. I like this picture because tfte director has had the wisdom to attach the right dramatic value to certain scenes. This movie has two big punch scenes and both are splendidly hanrled before the camera. The real value of the story depends upon how these two big scenes are handled. The cast is a safe one as far as names are concerned. It includes Miriam Cooper, Kennet Harlan, Gaston Glass, Joseph Dowling, Zasu Pitts, Ethel Shannon, Fred Malatesta, Mary Culver and others. It has been nicely mounted and directed. The photoplay Is excellent. Snub Pollard In "Before the Public” is doing a satire or burlesque on the movies. Snub is first introduced as a singer of illustrated movies in a moving picture palace of the old days. Asa singer, the patrons decide that he must go. Some of the timid patrons were in for hanging instead of shooting. It was decided to make him the winner of a movie contest. In that way they ship him to Hollywood. The joke is on the citizens, because Snub becomes a “great” movie actor. The movie is slapstick, but, as I contend, there is a definite place on the screen for the right kind of slapstick. At the Apollo all week. -I- -I- -I* Second Week for Griffith Photoplay at the Rialto “The Birth of a Nation,’ a D. W. Griffith movie, is now in the second week of its engagement at the Rialto.

At the Rialto all week. ■I- -I- -I’ “Nobody’s Bride” On View at the Isis “Nobody’s Bride,” the feature at the Isis for first half of the week, is a rather wild affair with a kidnaping, a robbery and a great deal of shooting. A prospective bride refuses to marry the man chosen for her and runs away after stealing her own wedding presents. She falls into the hands of a band of crooks who hold her for ransom. She is eventually rescued by an improverished former lover who is forgiven for being poor thus allowing a happy ending. A Charles Murray comedy completes the bill. (By Ob- ! server.) •I- -I- -I’ Farnum Movie Take Place of “SU'd Proof” i “Skid Proof,” the Charles Jones picture booked for this week at Mister I Smith’s, failed to appear Sunday and I “The Buster,” a western picture star--1 ring Dustin Farnum, was shown instead. “The Buster” concerns a very stubborn but quite likable miss from Boston who decides to take a camping trip out in the great open spaces. The camping expedition is launched under the direction of one "Bill,” who is foreman of a ranch owned by the girl’s aunt. There is a struggle for i supremacy between the stubborn girl and the wise cowboy who, knowing the rules of camp life, insists that the young lady do her share of dishwashing. There are some unexpected events which include a fake kidnaping which becomes the real thing. Needless to say, Bill, played by Farnum, rescues the young lady aqd wins the upper hand in camp and the girl’s hand in marriage. “The Buster” is quite as interesting as most westerns, with some beautiful scenery, some good comedy and a thrill or two. “Round Four,” a very interesting episode of The program is completed by a news reel which shows, among other things, the crowd at the Firpo-Wil-lard fight.

Miss James said her father, Frank James, who operates a hand laundry, at his home, sent her for water. She went into the coal yard of William Gansberg Company, south of her home.
