“The Ten Commandments’’ will go into its second and final week of its run at the Ohio Sunday. For the first half of the week the Isis will present Jack Hoxie in “The White Outlaw.’’ •I- -I- -ILLOYD’S LATEST OPEN’S AT APO LO The Apollo will have Harold Lloyd's new production, “The Freshman,’’ as its attraction next week. Using college life as a background for it’s action, “The Freshman’’ blazes anew path in the realms of comedy, and presents Lloyd in an entirely new environment. The story is based on the life of one character at college, rather than generalizing life at an institution of learning. Lloyd is cast as Harold Lamb, who enters college very humble in his desire to be a great—his idea of greatness being to achieve popularity. He is blissfully unconscious at all times of the handicap of being a freshman, and is therefore made to order for the upper-class teases. They tell him if he would he popular he must make a speech before the assembled students, that he must treat high waide and handsome to ice cream cones; that he must make the football team; that he must be the host at the annual fall festival. The more he believes them the bigger boob he becomes in their sight. But beware when a boob gets wise to himself! When Harold discovers that he has been their little pet lamb he changes the tune of his baa, baa with the most hilarious results. Jobyna Ralston, Brooks Benedict, Hazel Keene:, Tat Harmon, Joe Harrington and James Anderson make up the supporting cast of principals. Hundreds of “extras" were required f n filming “The Freshman.’’ The scenes of the football game that climaxes the story were made last fall before an audience of 8,000 people at Leland Stanford's war memorial stadium preceding the clash on the gridiron between Stanford and the University of California. Other Apollo program features will be a Bray Pictograph, “Babies In The Woods,” the Fox News Weekly, Bill Chandler, formerly with the Royal Peacock Orchestra, singing “Rah, Rah Cholly,” Earl Gordon, organist and Emil Seidel and his orchestra. -1- -I- -IHAMMERSTEIN IS FEATT RED AT COLONIAL “Parisian Nights” in which Elaine Hammerstein is the featured player and “Life’s Greatest Thrills" packed
