Tarkington Photographs Soul of Boy; Official War Movies Open at English’s

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. OOTH TARKINGTON understands youth. The boys and girls of this country are going to appreciate and “love” this man more than ever after they see his latest film story, “Boy of Mine.” s It is not the bad boy who gets the “spanking" at the hand of TarkingPpP ton in this story, fcjjp but it is the father who gets fathers and mothIbl ers toda y are .M complaining that j Jp.*- /M their children are Cj hard to manage > vMNRar' and that anew t T ij&JBKm juvenile lndepenHSI dencn lias arrived. 1,1 attual 11 fe par E ents dc lint often ■. nniitth ask the EL this s o-c ailed youthful rebellion ROCKCLTFFE exists. TarklngFELLOWES ton not only asks - the question in “Boy Mine.” but he shows the causes which makes a father misunderstand his boy. To me “Boy of Mine” is something more than just mere amusement but a sort of a fireside defense on the part of Tarkington of the “bad” boy. Any boy has the right to his own individuality, even when he is a boy. That the mother of this story realizes. The father cannot understand why his son should have a personality and a few rights about the house. Tarkington drives home the lesson of being a pal to your son by some mighty clever touches. Bill Latimer is a real boy. He wants a gun to shoot with. He is anxious to find out what makes the wheels go round in an alarm clock. He also desires that his father be in on the secret of the clock, but Dad is too busy to bother. Bill's father feels that Bill Is always in the wrong. Bill couldn’t be right because he was only a ‘bad boy.” But his mother knew that Bill had a personality, and being a human being he was entitled to certain rights. Tarkington in one master stroke shows how Bill’s father misunderstands the boy. Old man Latimer purchased a birthday present for Bill. Before It was unwrapped Bill was sure It was a gun with which he could go hunting, but —it turned out to be a nice umbrella. Again the father misunderstands. The failure of Bill’s father to understand results in Bill running away from home, but Bill, after an exciting hour away from home at night, is returned home by a young doctor, who understands boys. Then Bill’s mother rebels. She leaves her husband and takes Bill to a little cottage. There Bill has a chance to be a real boy. The young doctor helps Bill to be a real boy and a good one at the same time. In the end. Bill’s father learns to be a pal of his son and the result Is that all is happiness. Henry Walthall Is cast as Bill’s father. Irene Rich is Bill’s mother and Rockcliffe Fellowes is the doctor. Ben Alexander is Bill. No better cast for types could be obtained. Have only praise for J. K. McDonald, the director, who is clever enough to bring real home life to the screen. “Boy of Mine” is a Tarkington-Mc-Donald triumph. Every mother and father In Indianapolis would do well to visit the Circle this week and see this really big human story- It is too good to miss. The bill at the Circle this week includes "Columbus,” piano music by Axel Christensen. and orchestral music. -I- -!- -I- - VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS PRESENT OFFICIAL WAR FILMS When Washington crossed the Delaware. the movie camera man was not present. t But when our boys went marching into Germany, the official camera men were present. The official war photographers snapped the World War while history was being made. , “Powder River, v official of American fighting In France, opened a week s engagement at English'B Sunday night under the auspices of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. These pictures are mighty valuable and will be more so in the future because it proves that Germany carried e i .m uncivilized warfare on the high s 'as with her "submarines. Actual movies taken by the Germans themselves, form the introduction to “Powder River.” These actual movies of German horror on the high sea gives ample proof of the necessity of the United States entering the war against Germany. There is nothing theatrical about "Powder River” because It is actual history taken in the making. We find war as it actually exists with all of its Enjoyed a Good Night's Sleep*’ ”1 wish to say that FOLEY PILLS worked O. K. on me in a couple of hours and the pains left me at once. I took a couple of them in the afternoon, went to bed and had a good night’s sleep and have slept good ever since,” writes Con Thiel, 118 E. Columbia St., Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Wesley Is Proud of Thousand Freckles

■ ' \iJI WESLEY BARRY The freckled hero of many a screen comedy-drama is in town. You know who it is. Wesley Barry, of course. He has hundreds of freckles and he Is proud of ’em. You can meet him this week in person at the Apollo. horror and hell. “Powder River” is an official indictment against war. It has been my duty to see many war movies, but it remained for these films to show me the real Inside of war. Here is the real article —actual movies of what we read about in the papers during the World War. “Powder River” shows the actual fighting In four of the greatest battles of the World War —Cantigny, Chateau Thierry. St. Mihiel and The Argonne. There will be many a soldier who will remember the scenes pictured and many a mother will recall a heartache or a thrill of suspense while those actual battles were in progress. “Powder River” is easily the best of the so-called war movies. The camera has not been trained upon Paris, war counsels and the like, but upon the men who did the actual fighting. These pictures are official and were taken by United States camera men while the actual fighting was going on. Many a camera man was killed while taking these very pictures. The high merit of "Powder River” as an historical document can not be over estimated and as an indictment against war it is a most power ful argument. “Powder River" demands your attention at English's all week. Matinee and night performances will be given daily. -I- 4 -IYES, WESLEY HAS REAL FRECKLES AND MANY OF ’EM Has he freckles? Sure he has. Who are you talking about? Wesley Barry who shows nu.re freckles than any other ac*.or on the screen. Had a nice little talk with this 17-year-old film star yesterday while he was waiting to make a personal appearance at the 6:15 o’clock show at the Apollo. Barry was in the office of Manager Kennedy of the theater. He was dressed In overalls and a white shirt without a tie. He is a real chap. He admits that he has bushels of freckles and proud of it. "The lights, while making a picture, makes the freckles show up more.” he said. “I don’t use any make-up and I don’t put on p.ny freckles.” "The Country Kid.” the film now on view at the Apollo, is the last socalled ”kid” picture that he will make. He is too long-legged for knee pants these days and he is "wild” over a picture he has Just completed, "George Washington, Jr.” It has not been released as yet. He has been In the movies since he was six years old. That gives him eleven years’ service on the screen. "I started in the movies when it was easy to get in," he said, “because the business was not taken so seriously then as now. I got Into the movies by just livng near the studio in Los Angeles.” I asked him a very personal ques tion: Do you like girls? “Not too young,” he smiled “Like •uy lady friends about 17 or 19. Oh, I get lots of letters from many people.” Barry amuses himself between his five personal appearances daily at the Apollo by answering the telephone calls.

“When does Wesley go on?" a semi- , nine voice asked over the phone when I -was present. "He goes on at 6:15 next,” said j Barry. And that little girl on the other end of the telephone will never know that she was talking to the famous young man himself. Wesley is a great, natural lad. He has a good business head on him. His natural way is doing a whole lot in giving people more faith in movie people. Have devoted so much space to Barry himself that I can’t go into detail regarding his movie, “The Country Kid.” I found it corking good down-on-the-farm melodrama. Wesley plays “mother” to his two orphan brothers in the story. There, are several tears in this movie and a bunch of laughs, especially when two of the children eat dried apples. Then the castor oil bottle appears. Such faces! Fathers and mothers, it will not be treating the children quite square this week if you don’t take them to the Apollo to see Wesley Barry. At the Apollo all week. -!- -I- -IOPINION ON “ZAZA” WILL DEPEND ON MODERN VIEWPOINT Years of stage history has made “Zaa" a definite character. I am not familiar with the Zaza of Rejane or Duse, but I am with the Zaza of Mrs. Leslie Carter. I do not picture Zaza as existing today.

Mrs. Carter's Zaza was GLORIA capable of making SWANSON a SRC riflce so that she might "love” the man of her choice, although the law and society ruled It was impossible. All of this tradition of Zaza must be considered in passing an opinion upon Swanson’s “Zaza.” If you will pardon my purely personal viewpoint, it seems to me that M.ss Swanson. H. B. Warner, her chief male support, and Allan Dwan. have attempted merely to make an Interesting picture regardless of the historic past of Zaza. In the hands of Miss Swanson, “Zaza” is a strange, temperamental actress of a revue who is unable to Always cascaraJ?*qiiinine X Relieves /COLD IN 24 HOURS XLA GRIPPE IN 3 DAYS 10t All Drutm- —nti Wearisome coughing—need not be endured long.

register real emotional suffering,. Os course, Miss Swanson dresses the part on a lavish scale, but she doesn’t put any soul into Zaza. Maybe Miss Swanson knows what the public ■wants in the form of a modern Zaza. Am aware of the fact that Swanson's “Zaza” has caused much disj cussion. It all depends upon how i modern one prefers his “Zaza.” There ! will be many movie fans who will | champion Miss Swanson as Zaza and | there wall be others who can not forget the Zaza of stage history. I care not for Miss Swanson’s conception of “Zaza.” Please be your own judge on this picture at the Ohio this week. On my way back from the Murat late yesterday afternoon, I dropped into the lobby of the Ohio. The theater was filled to capacity. I heard many people on leaving the theater state that they enjoyed the modern version. Several women were loud In their praise of the personal work of the star. It is all a personal viewpoint, that I admit. I admit that Swanson's "Zaza” has a good opportunity of breaking box office records at the Ohio. The hill at the Ohio includes a comedy. “Spring Fever;” Pathe news, music by Huff at the organ and by the Ohio orchestra. -I- -I- -IDICK HATTON APPEARS IN A SNAPPY MOVIE Dick Hatton is a tough “tenderfoot” who becomes “The Seventh Sheriff,” feature photoplay at the Isis. Some thirty minutes after he has “hit town” in a Western trading center, Dick has successfully ridden the bronco that couldn't be ridden, and has become the seventh sheriff. The picture Is crammed with action from the ntart. Fist-fight follows fist-fight. The tenderfoot Is opposed, apparently simply because he is sheriff, by a gang of roughnecks whom he thrashes single-handed, of course. In the end he marries the sixth sheriff's daughter, played by Neva Gerber. Bill includes a Joe Roke comedy, "Mark It Paid.” (Bv Observer.) -I- -I- -I* MORE PR USE FOR FOX FILM, “IF WINTER COMES” "If Winter Comes” Is the current attraction Rt Mister Smith's. It seems useless to go into further detail regarding this really great picture. This department has gone on record as stating that this picture Is the best all-round photoplay of last year. If you missed this picture on its former visit' to this city, then It will be worth your time to visit Mister Smith's this week. ■I- -I- -|- MOVIES AND VARIETY ACTS AT LINCOLN SQUARE Instead of releasing himself from an elaborately tied and padlocked trunk, DRINK ITER WHEN KIDNEYS HURT YOU When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region It may mean you have boon eating foods which create acids, says a wellknown authority. An excess of such acids overworks the kidneys In their effort to filter It from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve thm, like you relieve your bowels, removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick Jjeadache, dizzy ‘pells; your stomach sours, tongue Is (oated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Uthia, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids In the system, so they no longer irritate, thus of'.en relieving bladder weakness. Jad Balts Is inexpensive, can not Injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithla-water drink. Drink lots of soft water. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.—Advertisement. • Feeble?

Marline, headliner at the Lincoln Theater, manages to get inside the thing after it has been padlocked, bound with rope, wrapped in canvass and bound with more rope. A clever act.
