It’s Some Job to Be Baseball Hero; - Nei r ‘Trilby’ Arrives—‘Backbone’ a Hit

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. H*” - j AVE YOU a boy in your home? If you have, there is a pleasi___J ant duty before you this week. Take that boy of yours to see Rockellffe Fellowes and Buddy Messenger tOk, the Apollo to see ‘“Trifling With Honor.” A sure way to get to the heart of "the real American boy is to baseball with him. fThat youngster often k no w s more about the .game than dad. The average American boy is much more i'jj| •' the President of '* :• 1 ‘jgl| the United States. ; 8 <*l(s? Because of this hero worship, BUDDY nearly every boy MESSENGER. starts out life early playing with a ball bat on a vacant lot. He dreamt"of being a big man, just like Babe Ruth. This hero Worship has aided many a boy growing up with the right ideals of citizenship and sportsmanship. There is nothing finer in the world than a boy’s devotion to his favorite basebSTi player. Some time ago a magazine published a short story about a boy’s lovh for a baseball player and the effect that . each other had on the great American game, as < well as upon the life of the youth of the lantj. This story has, been made into a movie under the title of ‘‘Trifling With Honor.” y “Trifling'WYth Honor’’ may not be the great American Thovie story, but ,it comes mighty near being perfect in picturing the value of clean sports for the youth of the land. Buddy Messehger is cast as a boy who believes that “Bat” Shugrue is the greatest man in the world. Buddy reads a story in a paper about the clean life of “Bat” —a baseball hero who doesn't drink, smoke, chew, gamble and the like. Buddy decides to stop smoking cigarettes on the side and gives up the practice of making his sister’s life one of dull care. Buddy reforms because he wants to be like “Bat.” In private life in this movie, "Bat” has a yellow streak but he becomes the great Jiero that thousands of boys believe him to be when he realizes that a boy’s love is worth more to him than bribe money. Tins picture makes Rockcliffe Fellowes a full fledged star. ‘ He is cast as “Bat” He l| splendid showing the contrasting good and bad natures of "Bat” Shugrue. * "Triflling With Honor” is to my way of thinking, a real American movie. The boys of this country will love every foot of it' I reccommend “T>ifling With Honor” to every boy and baseball fan in Indianapolis. The bill includes Reginald Denny in “Round Five” of Third Leather Pushers Series,” a news reel and orchestral music. At the Apollo all week.

Concerning a New Trilby and a New Svengali. Howdy! Here is where we probably will qpt agree. Everyone has his or her idea *|- garding DuMaurier's “Trilby" and any present day production will invite comparisons and possible Criticism. ✓*— . Richard Walton Tuily, who was responsible for the timing of “The Masquerader” and the Tent Maker” is this week presenting a movie version of “Trilby.” As' best “Trilby” is a mechanical, tragic affair. It is dramatic theater and it is necessary to create a sustained dramatic atmosphere. When £ director is unF|^ an audience symj am convinced that lng Trilby a symEDMUND pathetic characCAREW. ter. Andree Lafayette, an actress from Paris, plays the role of Trilby In a rather restricted and mechanical manner, especially in the hypnotic scenes. At no time did she make me sympathetic or even sorry for little Trilby, who started out as a washwoman In a laundry and ended up as a famous singer. Andree Lafayette is a beautiful woman. She photographs nicely, but a successful Trilby ijiust be more than Just physically beautiful. Arthur Edmund Carew is the evil Svengali. On rev- goes in for realism and his Svengali looks as if he needs a bath. Carew at no time lifted me to dramatic heights. He was too mechanical and too “dirty” (unkempt) looking. A notable cast has been assembled, but the big punch is missing. I Just cannot place my finger on the trouble, but I feel that the fault lies in the woman who plays the role of Trilby, and too realistic makeup of Carew. I am not asking any one to agree with me. You may think lam wrong. That is your great and glorious right. Someone has failed in linking the episodes together as' to make the story complete. There is one instance of wrong title announcement. The cast is as follows: Trilby : Andree Lafayette ~Bvenf*ll Arthur Edmund Carew The Laird Wilfred Lucas Zouzou Maurice Cannon Durian Gordon Mullen Madame Vinard ........ Martha Franklin Her. Bag-ot 1.. Gilbert Clavton Impressarlo Edward Kimball little Billee Creiphton Hale Taffy ................ Philo McCullopyh Gecko ................ Francis McDonald Dodor ................... Max Constant Miss Barot Gertrude Ol instead Mr*. Barot ............. Evelyn Slierman Laundress Bose Dione Joaaaot ............. Robert De Pilbiss In addlifera to “Trilby,” the 4ferd*

is offering this week a splendid overture, “The Bohemian Girl,” played by the Circle orchestra, a comedy, a* news reel and organ music. -I- -1- -IGood Acting Makes _ “Backbone” a Hit “Backbone” ia the name cf a movie. The title tells the whole/ story—the efforts of a yourfg man to win % ✓ the love of a girl. "Backbone” tells a strong story and a cast neaded by Alfre’d Lunt and Edith Roberts puts this movie into the hit class. Here is a story with a love story mixed up with a near murder mystery. I believe it would be unfair, to tell the story of "Backbone” bev cause much of nicely disturbed until very Btar j am of th@ impression that he EDITH got to that dizzy RQBERTS. height by sincere work and not by a pull. "Backbone” should be one reason at least why he should remain a star. The director of "Backbone” knew his business as well as the tricks of the trade. He first gets your attention by introducing a dwarf as a principal character. This character later is used both as a comedy asset as well as the means of solving the mystery. Edith Roberts is cast as the girl who is loved by Lunt. Miss Roberts has the ungracious and thankless part of making the spectator Impatient and the more annoyed you get with and at Miss Roberts, the more you will like the movie. That is one of the tricks used by the director. "Backbone” is good dramatic entertainment, well acted, splendidly phbtographed and masterfully directed for tlje purpose of obtaining certain effects. Although "Backbone” is the featured offering at the Ohio this week, Snub Pollard will obtain some attention in ‘“Where Am I?” This comedy concerns the terrible thing that happened, .to Pollard when he attempted to eat the first biscuit ever baked by his wife. He suffers loss of memory. As mother-in-law states, "the biscuit was heavier than his head.” The Newport Entertainers yesterday began an engagement at the Ohio. They play jazzy tunes. At the Ohio all week. -1- -I- -IWaller Thanks Times for Fair Treatment

Following an ovation given Eddy Waller, Jean Oliver and other members of the Grand Players by a capacity house Saturday night at English’s when the stock company closed Its seventeen weeks season. Waller jmblicly thanked The Times, for the fair treatment given the Grand Players. It makes us, who write of the theater, feel that our work is not in vain when an actor-producer can come before the footlights and thank a. paper for fair play. . Although I was unable to attencT the final performance of the Grand Players, I 'am Informed that a capacity house gave testimony that Waller, Miss Oliver and all the others will be welcomed back to English’s next spring. Manager Charles Eerkell hopes to start his season next year eSHier than he did his first season. -I- -I- -IThird Week for Griffith Movie at the Rialto D. W. Griffith’s "The Birth of a Nation” Is now in its third week at popular prices at the Rialto. This movie by Its power to draw big business, proves the interest that people have in this masterpiece. Many of those who have visited the Rialto during the run of Jhe picture, have seen it previously and welcomed the opportunity to see it again. ‘I- r\- -|, Hoot Gibson Piays Lead in "Shootin’_for Love” 4 A victim of shell-shock returns to his ranch home after winning a fnedal for bravery in France, and is thought to be a coward by his father.
