RA YMOND GRIFFITH BOOKED AT OHIO IN HANDS UP’
Noted Stage Success Comes to Colonial Theater as Film Feature. Known as the “high hat comedian,” Raymond Griffith will be the featured funmaker in “Hands Up” at the Ohio all next week. The Circle will present anew Frank Lloyd production, called “The Splendid Road,” with Robert Frazier and Anna Q. Nilsson. “What Happened to Jones,” for years a stage success, has been made into a movie comedy. It will be on view at the Colonial next week. Mae Murray will be featured In "The Masked Bride,” at the Apollo, starting Sunday afternoon. For the first half of the week, the Isis will present Semon In "The Perfect Clown." -I- -I- -INEW GRIFFITH FILM BOOKED AT OHIO Said to be one of the funnist pictures of the year, "Hands Up,” featuring Raymond Griffith, will come to the Ohio Theater next week. The podcture was expressly made for Griffith by Reginald Morris. Supporting Griffith are Marion Mixon, Virginia Lee Corbin, Mack Swain, Montagu Love, George Billings, Noble Johnson and Charles K. French. In "Hands Up,” Griffith plays the part of a Confederate spy whose commanding officer tells him to go West to the famous Comstock lode, the source of the Union’s war finances, to divert the next wagon load of gold to the South. En route to the western city, Griffith becomes the central figure in hold-ups, Indian battles and love affairs. He falls in love with two young ladies, one a brunette and the other a blonde. Each falls in love with him and each girl admires the other, making it a difficult triangle. Griffith finally obtains the gold, but is arrested for highway robbery. Proving himself a member of the Confederate Army means nothing to his captors as the Civil War has since ended. ' Another O. Henry comedy, “Cupid ala Carte,” will be the chief picture in the program of supporting attractions. The Charlie Davis orchestra with Cy Milders, the popular soloist, will be heard in a program of latest song hits. Ruth Noller

The assisting cast Includes Otis Harlan, Marian Nixon, 'Nina Romano and Margaret Qulmby. The highllgnts of the stage offering are said to be even more excruciatingly funny In the screen vehicle because of the more elaborate manner in. which they can be worked out, and with more detail.
