Miss Colleen Moore makes her debut as a First National star in this production. Most every one interested in the theater is familiar *with the story of Sally, the fOrlornl drudge in the orphanage, who, through sheer force of her own character, rises to the fame of a great dancer. Leon Errol, who originated the role of the Duke of Checkergovinia, is chief in support of Miss Moore in "Sally," and to Lloyd Hughes is given the romantic role of "Blair Farquar.” In the cast, which was directed by Alfred Green, are: Myrtle Stedman, Eva Novak, John T.

Hume, in his sensational novel, depicted the struggle between these emotions in his character of Jeffrey Dwyer. In the romantic role of Jeffrey Dwyer, the "centaur” of the story, John Gilbert is reported to have done some of *he finest work in his career, ."he character of Jeffrey is likened to the fabled centaur, as being “half man and half beast"—a poet and a sensualist at the same time. The large supporting cast includes William Haines, Philo McCullough, Jacquelln Gadsdon, Betty Francisco, Kate Lester, Kate Price, Lincoln Stedman and others. Vidor filmed Hume's novel from an adaptation by Douglas Doty, as a special production on the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer program for the year. ■l* -I- -I* "THE SPANIARD” TO OPEN SUNDAY HERE “The Spaniard” is to be shown the coming week at the Ohio Theater, with Ricardo Cortez in the leading role of Don Pedro de Barrego. The picture is said to be a composite of "Blood and, Sand” and "The Sheik," and was directed by Roaul Walsh, who made "The Thief of Bagdad.” Leading roles are taken by Jetta Goudal, famous French actress; Noah Beery, Mathilda Brundage, Renzo De Gardi, Emily Fitzroy, Bernard Selgel and Florence Renart.
