Everything Is Candy but Golden Bed; Circle Bills a Masterful Program

By WALTER D. HICKMAN ""'"IANDY is sweet, and so is sugar. ■* _ *The kisses of some women melt Just like sugar, but the memory sticks. That seems to be the lesson, if any, in Cecil B. De Mille’s “The Golden Bed.” ~ William of the gD i Mille family first made him-i self famous by introducing the bath in the movies. All of his bath scenes were like a Roman holiday. He pays as much attention to such scenes as most directors do to a ballroom scene. De Mille Is the Santa Claus of the movies when it comes to spr e a ding the gold all over the CANDY screen. He goes •' in for the most extravagant things. He gives all of his productions that expensive looking twist which has made the DeMi He name a gold mine at the box office. “The Golden Bed” is the sort of a story which gives DeMille a chance to spread gold all over the picture. The smashing scene of “The Golden Bed” is the candy ball. Everything is made of candy—the costumes of the dancers, the scenery, the flowers, the decorations and everything else. The guests at this wild party Indulge in eating parts of the costumes of the dancers. Wild thought, but De Mille knows just how far to go along such lines. His pictures have a sort of lurid richness which no other producers possess. With a lavish hand De Mille has scattered real money all over this nine-reel picture. Asa story, “The Golden Bed” doesn’t deserve the fortune and time spent by De Mille. Its hero is one of those’ foolish chaps who throws away his wealth and self-respect on a good-for-nothing woman. The “hero” is a chap who rises from a one-room candy maker into a candy king. But the “king" doesn’t recognise the power behind the throne. It Is a woman who works in his

shop. The woman has a spendthrift sister who specialides in rich husbands. This golden haired sister is* the baby who occupies the golden bed of the title. The good little sister jujt keeps on .pulling taffy. The story doesn’t ring true from the standpoint of realism, but Do Mille puts it across as smashing entertainment because he knows how to dress up such stories. Personally, I was glad when the so-called hero loat al of his money and happy when his spendthrift wife passed out of the picture a total wreck. De Mille knows these are unsympathetic characters, but he makes one unconscious to this fact by smothering ’em with one lavish and wild scene after another. The story is sensational, not pleasant, but De Mille smothers most of this with dazzling sets. De Mille has am expensive cast, consisting of Rod La Rocque, Reynolds, Theodore KosloiT, Lillian Rich, Henry Walthall, Warner Baxter, Ethel Wales, Julia Faye, Charles Ogle and several hundred others. From a box office standpoint, "The Golden Bed” will probably reap a • fortune, but it will not live like “The Ten Commandments.” This “bed” movie will catch the eye because it is a gay butterfly done in every color of the rainbow. Using a popular expression, this picture is “hot.” Bill includes “The Rubber Neck,” music by the Charlie Davis orchestra and by Lester Huff at the organ. At the Ohio all week. -(- HERE IS A REAL ALL-ROUND PROGRAM Movie theaters all over the country are beginning to think more and more of the program as a whole, instead of Just the feature. Such a movement really means a new day in the movie theater. For example take this week’s bill at the I Circle. The management has built nS up a program Rm M Si: which is masters flg ful.

A realistic little view into O’BRIEN the life of Stephen Foster, the man who wrote “Old Kentucky Home,” ‘Old Folks at Home,” and many others, but who died in a charity ward. While the tragedy of this man’s life is revealed on the screen Bakaleinikoff directs the orchestra through a score based on Foster’s inuslc. The result was so satisfactory that this overture was given a real ovation. From a novelty standpoint, the Circle this week is introducing the cross-word puzle.

papers, is worked right before your very eyes. The comedy viewpoint has been retained. Such movies look like a hit to me. Ted Snyder is noted for the so.ngs he hjis written, such as "Blue Eyed Sally,” "The Sheik of Araby,” “Who’s Sorry Now” and many others. He is playing the piano before an impressive drop this week. He has the assistance of Fred Hughes, a tenor with a rich pleasant voice. There is no fire works about Snyder. He goes about* playing music as a dignified business man would do it. And what a re l lief that is these days. Snyder will be a,sensation before the week is out at the Circle. The movie feature, preceded by this program, is “Frivolous Sal,” a western melodrama of the old days. Here is melodrama of the old school! There are fights, foul play, flights on horseback, then more fights, wonderful western mountain scenery, a love story, the love of a boy for a worthless father and much more. Am not going to let you In on all the thrills because It will rob you of an enjoyable lime. The cast of "Frivolous Sal” is as follows: Ra°i land Keen ® • Buren* O'Brien SteVe® A Jf x ander Tom Santschl r P£“ - er Mitchell Lewis Mildred Harris The Circle has a knockout bill this w^ek. -I- -I- -IFISTS AND HEARTS FIGURE IN APOLLO MOVIE Richard Dix is now a movie star. His latest, vehicle is *‘A Man Must Live.” This movie gives when everybody RICHARD DIX Was for the man who wore the uniform. But after the war, when the soldier took his place in the world again, he discovers that he is just among those present. Geoffrey Farnell is one of those men who fought in the World War, and who learned a lesson or two after the war. Geoffrey becomes a reporter on a yellow newspaper in New York. He fails to deliver the "yellow goods” and is fired. The climax is mixed up with some touches of real life, some bad touches of melodrama and a pretty love story. All ends sweet and pretty. And yet the story, although mixed up in themes, is interesting and refreshing. lam sure that the newspaper scenes revealed are not from real life, but Just “theater.” The newspaper is shown up as a “dirty rag.” It might be a way of the movies getting even with

PL A YFUL DA YS‘OF SOLONS DESCRIBED Doorkeeper, Once Representative, Tells How Legislators Passed Time During Sessions Back in 80s.

Back in the glorious days of ’B7, when time wore heavily on the shoulders of Hoosler legislators, it was customary for the two houses to recess and Join hands, eject a United States Senator, appoint a committee to inspect the Statehouse plumbing, or engage in. some other capricious act. At that time of the State’s history the present Capitol building was still in the stages of construction and it is said some of the pessimistic citienry was fearful lest there be no new laws to guide the commonwealth through the Impenetrable shadow of ignorance tor another iwo years. J. N. Loop of Kokomo, assistant doorkeeper of the House at the present session, was the Representative from Howard County at that time and recalls vividly many episodes of that historical session. Harrison Loses “We voted sixteen successive days to elect a United States Senator at that session,” Loop said, "There was Benjamin Harrison, who later became President, on the Republican ticket and Judge David Turpie on the Democrat side. The House was Republican but the Senate had enough Democrats to hold the vote to a tie. Finally a labor man threw his vote to Turpie and he was elected Feb. 4, 1887. It was a hot session, too. I’ll tell you, boy.” That Loop’s legislative ideas were thoroughly Imbued with the spice of modernity is evinced in a measure Introduced by him to regulate

telephone charges. (It was the first time Loop’s inquisitor knew there were telephones then.) ‘Same Tricks’ The House, that session, handicapped by the noise of construction outside, introduced 479 bills. Thirtyeight years later, the same body, in a final surge of legislative enthusiasm, introduced 808 distinctly “meritorious” bills. Loop, who has been Interested In •politics more than forty years, was a Bergeant-at-arms at the last Republican national convention at Cleveland, Ohio. "Yeh, it’s great to see the boys work," he ruminated. “Same bunch. Same tricks.” *' ‘LOVE FEAST’ FRIDAY Republican Editors to Celebrate November Victory.
