T -1- -I----"TIIE GOLD Rl SH" OPENS AT CIRCLE Charles Chaplin conies to the Circle on Sunday in “The Gold Rush,” the picture the Indianapolis theatergoers have been waiting for for two years. “The Gold Rush,” written and directed by the famous comedian himself, takes place in the Alaska of the days of the Klondike gold rush, and presents Mr. Chaplin in the role of a pathetic tenderfoot struggling along with hundreds of others who are in search of gold. In the role of this hard luck sourdough. dressed in the baggy pants, the floppy shoes, the old .derby and the cane of early association, he twists the sufferings of the Alaskan pioneers into a strange commingling of humor and tragedy. It is said that this production, on which Chaplin spent more than sixteen months, is filled with comedy, drama, satire, melodrama and farce, not to foregt the usual slapstick found in Chaplin comedies. To have the right types in Truckee. Cal., where the picture was filmed. Chaplin took a special trainload of hoboes with well-seamed faces and tattered clothes with him to this location. There is a love story running through "The Gold Rush,” with the poor tenderfoot finally winning the love of the dance hall girl with whom he is infatuated. Georgia Hale appears opposite Chaplin in this nine-reel production, and others who are associated with him are Mack Swain, Tom Murray, Malcolm Waite and Henry Bergman. The program will also include the overture, “Merry Wives of Windsor,” played by the Circle Concert Orchestra under the direction of Bakaleinikoff, the Circle News and a Hodge Podge comedy cartoon. T -I- -ILON CHANEY TO STAR AT THE OHIO Lon Chaney, character actor, is cast as the featured player in "The Tower of Lies,” the Victor Seastrom adaptation of the Selma Lagerlof prize winning novel, “The Emperor of Portugallia,” and will be, seen the coming week as the featured photoplay attraction at the Ohio Theater.

won him a unique place as a char- j acter actor of distinction. It is a worthy successor to “The Miracle Man,” "He Who Gets Slapped” and j "The Hunchback of Notre Dame.’ Besides the three players who assisi Chaney there are also the following William Haines, Claire McDowell, Anne Schaefer, Edward Connelly and Leo White. Chaney is seen as Jan, tenant on a rich estate, whose happiness is suddenly brightened by the birth of a child, Goldy. Goldy blossoms into a beautiful woman, played by Norma Shearer, and is duly promised in marriage to August, an industrious neighborhood youth played by William Haines. Using unscrupulous means to secure his uncle's enormous estate; enacted by lan Keith, allows his aged uncle to lose his life by a falling tree. In order to obtain Goldy as his wife he forcecloses upon Jan, but offers the deed to Jan for his daughter’s hand in marriage. Rather than marry Lars, and also to secure money for the deed, Goldy Journeys to the city and barters her virtue. Kathryn Perry and Hallam Cooley, are the co-stars in a Helen and Warren comedy, “All Abroad,” which, with a Pathe News Weekly, will complete the film attractions. Charlie Davis’s new orchestra, players of popular music, will be heard in a selected program together with Cy Milders. favorite Indianapolis soloist. Ruth Noller will be heard at the organ. I- -1- -!- RAYMOND GRIFFITH TO BE A PRINCE Being a prince may not be much fun, but Raymond Griffith makes a hilarious affair of it in this first starring picture, “He’s A Prince" to be found at the Apollo next week. The fact that Griffith nas been elevated to stardom is no surprise to those who have followed the career of this consumate actor-comedian during the past year. It was to be i expected, and in “He's A Prnice’ | Griffith demonstrates the reason whereof. “He's A Prince” presents Griffith as ttfe bored young heir to a European crown who shys at the job of being continually on display and wearies of the never-ending "dress parade” life allotted him. Finally he up and tells his father, the King that he'll either have to have a vacation or quit princing. Whereupon the king tells him right back that the idea gives him a hearty laugh; that he can t even escape from the palace grounds. Being challenged thusly the prince
