Nicholson’s Story Makes Good Movie; 'De Mille Films ‘Dead’in the Hereafter

By WALTER D. HICKMAN , v . HEN “Broken Barriers’’ first \jy came off the press as a novel m i Indianapolis had much to talk about because this city was the admitted background of the story.

This in terest was even more increased as Meredith Ni c h olson was the author of the story, and he has been here long enough to study us. This novel has been made into a movie .and the result, I experienced yesterday at the Apollo, was satisfying as far as I am concerned. 1 do not know how the author feels concerning the result of his brainchild being trans f erred to the

screen. Nicholson in his book has tackled the problem of a young girl who ms not afraid to go it alone. In going it alone, she becomes at first interested and then in love with a married man who no lnnger loved or lived with his wife. When a good girl falls in love with a marri?d man, there is at least bound to be some talk as well as drama. “Broken Barriers” is an intelligent presentation of a modern problem—just W Vapoßub For All Cold Troubles

Just look at this cast: Ward Trenton ....Janies Kirkwood Grace Durland Norma Shearer Tommie Kemp Adolphe Menjou Irene Kirby Mae Bu^ch Mr. Durland George Fawcett Mrs. Durland Margaret McWade Bobbie Durland Robert‘Agnew Ethel Durland Ruth Stonehouse John Moore Robert Frazer Mrs. Ward Trenton Winifred Bryson Sadie Denton Vera Reynold* Beulah Reynolds Edythe Chapman Chans Georse Kuwa Miss Shearer makes a splendid Grace, the girl who thinks she is able to take care of herself. James Kirkwood as Ward Trenton, the unhappy married man, rings mighty true. Adolphe Menjou as Tommie, a man about town who has a “shack” in the country where he stages wild parties, has that needed touch which gives class to the movie version. I doubt if you will find any fault with the cast and I am sure that the story has real dramatic interest. The lighter event on the bill is another one of the glorious Our Gang affairs, called “Every Man for Himself,” in which the gang presents something new in the shoe shining industry. Music and the like complete the bill. At the Apollo all week. -I- -I- -IA SPLENDID TIME AWAITS YOU AT THE CIRCLE TODAY John Barrymore as Beau Brummel. That statement alone semes to be a guarantee of complete artistic satisfaction. It may be true, I hope it is not. that tha appearance of a recognised dramatic artist on the screen does not get the support that he would if he did the same thing on the legitimate stage (the term "stage” is not used locally). I do not know what to expect here, after the way Jane Cowl was received week

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

in person at the Murat as far as Indianapolis is concerned. In “Beau Brummel” Barrymore has brought to the screen the same artistry of complete characterization that you would see If you visited a theater where the actors are flesh and blood. Here Is a famous story and p great one—the adventure Os a dandy of the time of George 111, who rose to the heights of a leader in fashion. His purpose was evil in becoming that because he wished to be avenged for being cheated out of the companionship of a lady whom he loved He sought and received court favor for the purpose of showing up court society of that day. Even the Beau had run his course, youth and power left him and we see a wrecked and insane man living out his last hours in a padded cell while he dreams of the great days. Beau Brummel was a self-made snob. He was a gentleman, but cruel at heart. His wit was pointed and he even made a laughing stock out of a witless Prince. In these scenes, Barrymore rises to tantalizing heights and then at the very close of the picture he crashes through with a pathetic dramatic characterization which will live on its merits alone. Here Is marvelous dramatic sadness, not the depressing kind, but the brand which results from powerful characterization. As the artistry of Barrymore became so pronounced, I lost myself. Sitting behind me was a man who patronizes the theater when It offers the better things. I was not surprised to find him present at this Barrymore showing. I generally do not utter a word when I am in a movie theater, but we actually pointed out the beauty that we found to each other. Probably our neighbors were bored and even disturbed, but I couldn’t help it. I was really all worked up over the dramatic worth of Barrymore and by the way the camera had recorded his moods. If we disturbed anybody, I apologize right now. Please see “Beau Brummel," and if you gasp out loud in appreciation I know that Ace Berry will forgive you. Willard Ijouls ranks next to Barrymore by his work as the Prince Regent. Who knows, maybe Louis has known a prince of yesterday. Splendid work. You will find Irene Rich. Carmel Myers, Mary Astor, Alec Francis (splendid ns the servant) and others of real talent present. “Beau Brummel” is so completely satisfying from a dramatic stand point that I urge you to make a visit to the Circle this week. It is most satisfying. Bill includes Bakaleinikoff directing the Circle orchestra through “Blossom Time” overture, a comedy and a news reel showing the landing of the ZR3. At the Circle ail week.

DE MILLE DOF.S SOMETHING REALLY VERY DARING You expect to And Cecil B. I>e Mill? spill the gold (meaning American dollars) in big amounts in his movies. You will not be disappointed in his latest, “Feet of Clay." It Is what I did not expect to find in a De Mille photoplay that -auses me to approach -ah. i--and on. This is ii - s'iii : !.' WV #M| band lias started lKhiAatuli the job before his unhappy wife arVERA rives on the scene. REYNOLDS He is a little ahead of her as far as the gas treatment is concerned. It Is during this dramatic episode that De Mille pictures their spirits start lng the march to the great beyond, the hereafter. The two self started wanderers to death learn a lesson, a serious lesson, and Fate turns them back to earth and life, walling and ready to complete their work on earth. I may he all wrong In this, but De Mille, by striking a real dramatic note after about six reels of gorgeous sets, proves that he is an artist, in handling the more serious thing. I will not remember “Feet of Clay" by Its lavish first part (the story causes the actors to do some unreasonable things), but I will recall with satisfaction the memory that Tie Mille is splendid In using tragedy as a finale to smart dressed-np playthings. I think you will get my viewpoint if you visit, the Ohio this week so as to arrive on time to get the beginning of the picture. If you do not do this, It seems to me that you will miss the dramatic crash that De Mille has so splendidly provided. In “Feet of Clay,” you will see Vera Reynolds playing the role of a society plaything who marries a poor man. Rod La Rocque is the poor husband who has a tough time of It until both he and his wife dis cover that their love 1s the only worth while thing on earth for them. Julia Faye ns the society wife who does not discover until too late that she loves her own husband, is very convincing. The outstanding piece of work, however, is contributed by Robert Edeson as the doctor. Have no doubt that "Feet of Clay” will prove most valuable from a box office standpoint. And yet I believe that De Mille will please because lie has entered anew field. The bill includes a comedy and music by Charles Davis orchestra and by Lester Huff. At the Ohio all week. •I- -I- -ICHARLES JONES’ LATEST ON VIEW AT THE ISIS For the first half of the week the Isis Is offering Charles "Buck” Jones in “Against All Odds” and a Jimmy Ashberry comedy, "The Lubbygow.” Jones is cast as a cowboy who lives in a haunted house on a western ranch. Even a gang of crooks help the ghosts in their business. Dolores Rousse, Ben Hendricks, William Scott and others are in the cast. -I- -I- -!- LAST WEEK FOR DOUG’S BIG FAIRY STORY MOVIE I know not what to say at. this time regarding “The Thief of Bagdad,” which Is now in its third week at English’s. On next Saturday night, the engagement will close.

Here is Douglas Fairbanks’ best contribution to the screen. He has done big things in the past, but “The Thief of Bagdad" is even bigger. It is an adult fairy story, but told in a universal "language.” It brings into existence anew day for the photoplay. Not to be missed by those who have been finable to get into English's so far during the engagement. -I- -!- -I"THE CYCLONE RIDER” ON VIEW AT SMITH’S The first showing in Indianapolis of Lincoln J. Cartei/s melodrama, “The Cyclone Rider,”' is being presented at Mister Smith’s this week. In the cast are Reed Howes, Alma Bennett, William Bailey, Charles Conklin and numerous others. The story centers around Jim Kent, who tries to win an auto race by inventing anew carburetor. Bill includes a comedy. At Mister Smith’s all week.
