Mantell Appears in Movie Masterpiece; Houses Are Built on Oil Instead of Sand
By WALTER D. HICKMAN Dramatic Importance of the movie screen is increased when such men as Robert B. Mantell become members of photoplay casts. Duse is gone from us forever. As far as I know we haven’t her art
recorded for “keeps” by the movies. Mantell is a great and careful artist. For years he has given his public intelligent and scholarly interpretations of th e great human roles of Shakespeare and the other classics. On the stage. Mantell achieved marked distinction by his chara c We rization of Cardinal Richelieu in a play called “Richelieu.” It has
JOHN CHARLES THOMAS
been my duty on several occasions to report his work in this stage play. Mantell has wisely decided to enact the role of the Cardinal for the movies in a production of “Under the Red The movie version is based upon a novel by Stanley Weyman and has been produced *on the stage by Charles Frohman. John Charles Thomas, a singer of, note, makes his movie debut (I am sure that I am right in this) in “Under the Red Robe,” playing the part of Gil de Berault. Genevieve Hamper, wife of Mantell, is cast as the Duchess of Chevreuse. The entire cast is peopled with men and women of exceptional ability. Alan Crosland is the director and settings are by Joseph Ujban. Mantell's gichelieu will stand out as one of the most finished and carefully conceived characterizations ever presented on the screen. This is the result of years of study and of playing the role on the stage. Mantell does not give you a suggestion of the power of the resourceful cardinal. He puts flesh, blood, mentality and living power into the characterization. - Richelieu actually lives while Mantell plays the role. You feel the sense of great power as the “old man” battles his political and church enemies. On several occasions Mantell lifts you to that plane of realization that you are witnessing powerful dramatic acting. There is room for more dramatic acting of the right sort in the movies. We have more comedy attempts than serious, thoughtful dramatic acting. of study and acting lias equipped Robert Mantel! for playing the role of Richelieu. The result of Mantell’s artistry makes the photoplay more valuable as ever. Do not get the idea that “Under the Red Robe” is dry highbrow stuff. The author has told a strong and beautiful romantic story. There is a genuine love theme present. -Not one of those water and milk affairs pulled off in the front parlor, but a warm, deep and fighting ’love. Here is glorious -omance played by a cast of worth-while human beings. You will be delighted with the j work as well as the beauty of Miss Hamper. Mr. Thomas forgets that he is a singer and does very well as Gil de Berault. But to get the beauty and worth of this photoplay, one must absorb it as a whole and not in parts. From a scenic and photographic standpoint, “Under The Red Robe,” is a masterpiece. If you enjoy great tnd powerful acting, then see Mantell in this photoplay. Cast is so important that I give it in full as follows:

ADOLPHE MENJOU Although Adolphe Menjou does not play hero roles, yet the public has made him a sort of a hero. Menjqu is the gentleman of fine manners and an active brain who has become a great film favorite. He may be seen this ■week by visiting the Apollo,,where “Broadway After Dark" is presented. his farm. So Dad moved to the city and built a mansion. And that's the house that oil built. Anyway, that is the story of “Daughters of Pleasure,” which is
on view this week at the Circle, with Marie Prevost, Monte Blue, Clara Bow, Wilfred Lucas and Edythe Chapman in the chief roles. This photoplay has been touched by the modern jazz idea. After Dad discovered that he was wealthy, the old man began to strut about, although he - was over 50. His good wife was old-sash
MONTE BLUE
ioned and saw no reason to dance to the jazz music of the day at her age. Dad cast his eyejupon a flapper played by Clara Bow. Clara has the cutest bobbed hair and rolling “give me” eyes and the nicest little hug. Clara played Dad for a fur coat, an apartment and gasoline moiyy. But the character that Clara plays didn't know that Dad was the parent of her school chum, played by Marie Prevost. Dad's daughter was a wild little flapper herself, but it knocked her for a cur A when she discovered her Dad hanging a fortune in pearls on the neck of Clara. Then Marie recited the modern line —“like father, like daughter.” Marie then goes out with Monte Blue to paint the old town red, but before the painting even started Marie remembers a Sabbath school lesson and all ends well.
I found “Daughters j)f Pleasure" rather snappy fun. The sub titles are smart and rapid. The story Is handled in a comedy way instead of being too dramatic. Monte Blue, that is the character played by him. starts out to be a society rotter but turns out to be a real fellow. Miss Prevost is convincing as the daughter of the man who owned the house that oil built. But the honors of the production go to Clara Bow as the jazzeyed flapper. This slip of a girl has landed on the screen. fhis photoplay is smart entertainment. This week you will meet Yerke’s Flotilla Orchestra playing such tunes as “Eileen,” “Going South,” “Hula Lou." “San,” "California,” and novelty, “Old Timer’s Contest.” Here is a corking good organization. The program includes novelty, as splendid scenic effects are used to illustrate the melody. A highly enjoyable crowd of melody makers. * The bill includes “The Screen Almanac,” "Circlette of News and other novelties. At the Circle all week. -I- -I- -IMENJOU DOES BATH SCENE IN NEW MOVIE DeMille made the fcathroom famous for women. Menjou has made it a paradise for men. Rather unusual was his valet too. Menjou has no ordinary bath, no, first it must be heated with all the care accorded that of a prima donna, then delicately scented to suit the |\vhim of the “Perfect Lover” as he |is dubbed in “Broadway After Dark.” I had always thought Valentino had the title of the “Perfect Lover,’’ but after seeing this picture I must admit there is something “perfect” about this man. Contrary to his usual roles Menjou is nqt the cold, easy going villain in this picture. Becoming disgusted with life, as he has been living it along BroatUvay, he decides to give himself a nAv thrill and at the same time enjoy a good laugh at the expense of those with whom he h£s been playing around. But, the unforeseen happens and he misses the laugh, but gets the thrill. Supporting Menjou Is an able cast, including Anna Cl. Nilsson. Carmel Meyers, Norma Shearer and glimpses of a number of favorites of both stage and screen. The bill Includes an “Our Gang” comedy, news reel and music by the Apollo orchestra and organ. At the Apollo all week. (By Observer.) -I- -I- -I“THE WHITE MOTH” ON MEW AT SMITH’S ' 0 Mister Smith’s this week is presenting Barbara La Mary In “The WAut* Moth,” a story showing how

' At Mister Smith's all week. -I- -I- -IDICK TALMADGE PLAYS LEAD IN “LET’S GO” The chief movie event at the Isis for the first half of the week is Richard Taimadge in “Let s Go,” a Pathe comedy. Taimadge has a chance to live aip to his title of “stunt king” in this movie. In the cast are Eileeh Percy, Tullly Marshall, George Nichols, All Freeman and others. Bill includes a news rgel and “Seeing Nellie Home.” Bill changes on Thursday. •!■ -MOther attractions on view today include: “New Toys,” at English's; “Abie’s Irish Rose,” at the Capitol; “In Love With Love,” at the Murat; Carl McCullough and numerous others on a mid-summer festival bill, at the Lyric; “The Mantle of Lincoln,” at the municipal theater in Garfield Park and the Princess Lani and company at the Palace.

WHY UNCLE SAM LOSES EDUCATED MEN EXPLAINED Private Concerns Pay Far More Than Government for High Training, Times Washington Bureau, ISIS Sew York Ave. WASHINGTON, July 28.—Why Uncle Sam has such a hard time keeping his skilled technical help has been made clear by a controversy over a point in thy Norris Muscle Shoals bill. Norris’ bill, providing for Government operation of Muscle Shoals, would limit salaries of officials employed in the project to a #12,0J a year maximum. Nat Olds, a witness for the Hock-er-Atterbury-White firm, which made a bid for Muscle Shoals, proposing to operate it in partnership with the Government, objected to such a limit. He s;dd poor pay had cost the Government dozens of its best employes in the past year and produced some Interesting figures to back up his assertion.
