his most recent production, "The Beautiful City,” presents Barthelmess as Tony Gilardi, a young Italian boy who sells firavers from a push cart in the slums of New York. An idealist and dreamer, with his whole life centered in his love for Molly, his litle Irish sweetheart, Tony has little in common with his more aggressive brother, Carlo, who is the favorite of their mother, because of the older boy’s more prosperous condition. Tony learns that Nick di Silva, the head of a group of gangsters, has some powerful influence over Carlo and knows that the mother’s heart would be broken were she ever to find out. When Tony discovers that Carlo has committed a theft at the command of Di Silva, he assumes the blame and after he serves his prison sentence, emerges disillusioned and embittered, his dreams shattered but with the inspiration and encouragement of Molly, he is brought back to happiness but only after he has avenged himself on his enemy. Dorothy Gish appears opposite Barthelmess in the role of Molly, and William Powell is seen as De Silva. Florence Auer and Frank Puglia are also in the cast. In addition to "The Beautiful City" the program for the week includes the overturne, "From Italy,” played by the Circle Concert Orchestra under the direction of Bakaleinikoff; the appearance of Charles Dornbergeh and his Victor Recording Orchestra: the Circle News and a comedy, "Fair Warning,” with A1 St. John.

Against this vast, panoramic background Cruze has built a great and vital human story—a story not only teeming with Incidents of historic Interest, of political intrigue, sinister plotting, frontier banditry and Indian warfare, but a story filled with flashing romance, tender love scenes, refreshing humor and authentic thrills. It is said to be a fit companion piece for his other master film, “The Covered Wagon.” Heading the cast of several thousand persons required in the telling of this story are Betty Compson, Ricardo Cortez, Ernest Torrence and Wallace Beery. •I’ -I’ -IHOXIE HAS NEW WESTERN MOVIE Jack Hoxie in “Bustin’ Through,"
