CIRCLE BOOKS THRILLER AND APOLLO HAS MURRA Y Bebe Daniels Due at Ohio in 'Miss Bluebeard,’ While Farnum Will Be at Isis, A movie thriller, “A Thief in Paradise,” iwill be the chief film attraction at the Circle next week. Mae Murray in “Circe, the Enchantress,” will be the chief drawing card at the Apollo. The Ohio will offer Bebe Daniels in “Miss Bluebeard,” a new Paramount release. At the Isis for the first half of the week, William Farnum will be seen in “The End of'the Trail.”

For the week, Mister Smith’s will offer Buster Keanton in “The Navigator,” a comedy. * “THIEF IN PARADISE” NEXT CIRCLE FEATURE "A Thief in Paradise,” which opens Sunday as the feature picture at the Circle, is a portrayal of Leonard Merrick’s popular novel, “The Worldlings.” / However, with all its various highly colored incidents and lavish settings, “i. Thief in Paradise” la said not’ to be a series of impossible incidents mounted upon a backboard of satin and hectic adventures. In short, the picture is said to be a real story, the continuity of which blends into the settings and the various Incidents perfectly, instead of bolstering up a weak story as the settings ere wont to do with many of the filckersheet fiascos of the day. Ronald Colman, one of the most up-and-coming young actors on the screen, plays the leading role, supported by a cast including Aileen Pringle, Doris Kenyon, Alex Francis and others. The program will also include the overture, “Jolly Fellows,” by Volletedt, played by the Circle Concert Orchestra under the direction of Bakaleinikoff, a Circle comedy presentation, and the Circlette of News. -I- -!- -INEW TYPE OF VAMPIRE ON VIEW AT APOLLO Mae Murray brings anew type of vampire to the screen in “Circe, the Enchantress,” in which she will appear at the Apollo next week. The vamps of the past have been stately creatures who went about their sinister business of heart smashing with something akin to dignity. Not so the fluffy-headed Mae. The vamp she portrays is a vivacious, scheming flapper who throws dignity to the four winds while employing her youthful charms to ensnare men, and then takes delight in scorning their affections. Basing his theme on the legend of the Greek goddess, Circe, who, according to the ancients possessed the power of transforming' men into beasts, Ibanez created a modern Circe in Cecil Brunne, who, at the age of 18, leaves the Cloistered walls of the convent in which she tad been reared *and engages in contact with the world. Robert 2. Lonard directed. James Kirkwood, Tom Ricketts, Charles Gerard, William Haines, Lillian Langdon and Gene Cameron are in the cast. Hal Roach oomedy, "Fighting Fluid,” the Fox news weekly, musical divertisement by Earl Gordon, at the organ, and Emil 3eidel and his orchestra will be other program features.

“MISS BLUEBEARD” OPENS AT OHIO The poming week at the Ohio Theater is Jazz Week. The management has made every effort to provide a lively program of photoplays and musical numbers to carry out this idea. “Mias Bluebeard,’ Avery Hopwood’s stage success, featuring Bebe Daniels and Raymond Griffith, is the major picture attraction. Harry Langdon will be seen in “The Sea Squawk," a funny take-off on “The Sea Hawk.” Even the news weekly will be "jazzed.” The Charlie Davis Orchestra wrlll be heard in a jazz overture and a program of peppy popular songs. Cy Milders, soloist, will sing “Big Bad Bill.” Lester Huff, at the organ, will present his original organ solo, “The Evolution of Jazz,” in which he asks his audience to Join him in a “Kazoo Khorus.” Small musical novelties will be given all patrons on entering 'the theater. Supporting Harry Langdon in “The Sea Squawk” are Etlgenie Gilbert, Christian Frank, Charlotte Mlneau, Bud Ross and Leo Sulky. Harry Edwards directed the picture. The comedy has to do with an ocean voyage on the Three Star Jiner “Cognac,” commanded by Captain Hennessey. Langdon is seen as an atnbitious young Scotchman. -I- -I- -IKBATON’S LATEST on View at smith s “The Navigator," with Buster Keaton, will be shown the coming week at Mister Smith's. Part of the picture was made under water. This photography was done by Byron Houck, Elgin Lessley and Fred Gabouri. Buster Keaton and Donald Crisp directed the picture. The picture was made off Catalina Island in the Pacific Coast. It tells of the adventures of a young man and a young girl on a vessel adrift at sea. It tells of fights with sharks and cannibals and is loaded with mirth-provoking situations. “The Mysterious Mystery” will be the Gang comedy which will be shown together with a news weekly. Music will be provided by the Grand Cremona. -i- -i- -iFARNUM TO BE ON VIEW AT THE ISIS “The End of the Trail,” to be shown at the Isis the first half of next week, Is a melodrama that has William Farnum as It’s star. He Is cast as Jules Le Clerq, trapper, a man of marvelous strength and determination, who plays a lone hand against tremendous odds in a dramatic story of the snow-capped mountains and ranges of the great Northwest during pioneer fur trading days. Gladys Brockwell, Willard Louis, Ogden Crane and others make up the cast. The fun feature will be JEasy Pickings,” an Educational comedy.

Colman Makes Hit Ronald Colman, hailed as the romantic find of the season because of his outstanding love portrayal in “The White Sister” and the George Fitzmaurice production “Tarnish,” has had his hat flung into the ring as a contender for the title of the screen’s greatest shiek. Colman, who is of Anglo-Saxon stock, but with a Latin cast to his face, has won an enviable position by having established himself as a great lover in two pictures and now comes the claim from Samuel Goldwyn, who sponsors the next Fltzmaurice production “A Thief in Paradise,” that no screen lover could have given the ardor, dash and vitality to the leading male role of that picture as did Colman.

LITTLE THEATRE TO PRESENTTRAGEDY 'Children of the Moon’ to Be Given, “Children of the Moon,” a drama by Martin A. Flavin, will be presented by the Little Theatre Society at their next performance at Masonic Temple Jan. 29. The elements of tragedy are convincingly developed as an outgrowth of the reactions of the characters one upon another. They are interestingly human people and one feels that the fate of the young lovers who are eventually driven to suicide by the interference of a wilfully selfish mother, is part of’the cruelty of life against which the individual is powerless to protect himself. The elements of the plot are not new, but Mr. Flavin has handled his characters with so much sympathy and understanding that he has succeeded In constructing a really fine play. George Somnes has cast the play with a great deal of care. Tony Sarg Tony Sarg, the Marionette wizard, who has delighted from Mqlne to California for flv<? years In succession, is appearing in Indianapolis i again this year on Feb. 2 and }. He is bringing two brand-new plays, "The Pied Piper of Hamelin” and “Treasure Island.” Critics say they excel any performance yet produced by Sarg. An entire summer of experimentalton in scenic effects and stage craft by M. Charles Searle, stage manager of Tony Barg’s Marionettes, has resulted in effects never before dreamed of In the Marionette theater. *
