‘THE BARRIER’ WITH NORMAN KERRY AT OHIO

Glyn’s Latest Romance Is Booked at Apollo Next Week. Hex Beach’s stirring drama of the Alaskan frontier, rational in treatment and with an undercurrent of comedy, has been brought to the screen in “The Barrier,” which will be shown as the featured photoplay attraction at the Ohio next week. “The Barrier” is a love story conceived and told as only Rex Beach can conceive and tell it. The picture was adapted to the screen by Harvey Gates and directed by George Hill, who also directed such successes as “Through the Dark” and “The Midnight Express.” Norman Kerry and Marceline Day are the focus of romantic interest in the picture. As Lieutenant Meade Burrell, the haughty scion of a proud Virginia family, Kerry is sent to an Alaskan army post, where he meets and loves Necia, played by Marceline Day, a half-breed girl, whom he believes white, as does the girl herself, having been raised as the daughter ofGale, the kindly old trader, portrayed convincingly by Henry B. Walthall. Complications arise when Burrell learns the girl is not white. He is willing to overlook the barrier, but the feeling of his aristocratic family must be considered. His decision is made when the girl falls into the clutches of Star Bennett, the brutal skipper of a whaling ship. „ The cast includes Lionel Barrymore, George Cooper, Bert Woodruff, Princess Neola, Mario Carillo, Pat Harmon and Shannon Day. A Van Bibber comedy, “The Reporter,” and a news weekly will complte the film program. Music will be provided by the Charlie Davis Orchestra and !Miss Ruth Noller at the organ. Cy Milders, popular Indianapolis soloist, will sing a favorite tune. -1- -I- -I“SOUL MATES” TO OPEN SUNDAY AT APOLLO Aileen Pringle and Edmund Lowe share the stellar honors in “Soul Mates,” the latest Elinor Glyn romance to reach the screen.

and in Paris, “Soul Mates” is a fervent drama having for its principal characters Lord Tancred, a gay and popular young English sportsman, and Velma Schulski, the latter a neice of Francis Markrute. an elderly self-made millionaire. Markrute desires to mingle with the social elect, a privilege long denied him. To attain his ambition he hits upon the scheme of placing Lord Tancred under obligations to him by lifting the heavy mortgage that encumbers the nobleman’s estate, and then prevailing upon him to marry his neice Velma, thus obtaining entry through family connections into the social whirl. Velma and Tancred meet and fall in love without either being aware of Markrute’s plans. When he reveals his wishes Velma rebels, thinking that Tancred is a party to the project, and that he is willing to “buy” her through acceding to her uncle’s desires. In spite of her opposition Markrute has his way, and the wedding takes place. Then Velma proceeds to assert her independence of her husband, and to scorn him. The ensuing situations are highly dramatic with the story reaching its climax high in mid-air, aboard the passenger cabin of a giant airplane winging its way over the Englisn channel. Jack Conway directed “Soul Mates.” In the supporting cast are Phillips Smalley, Antonia D’Algy, Edythe Chapman, Mary Hawes, Katharine Bennett, Lucien Littlefield and Ned Sparks. The program

The news weekly and a Mermaid comedy,” Light Housekeeping,” are added attractions. -I- -I- -ITIIK COLONIAL WILL OFFER “EAST LYNE” It is doubtful if any stage play ever has been shown to more people or in more cities and towns than “East Lynne,” which William Fox has put on the screen under the .direction of Emmett Flynn, which comes to the Colonial all next week with a marvelous cast headed by Alma. Rubens and Edmund Lowe. Tliis perennial favorite has been in the reiiertolre of every stock company for the last two tions; it has played on Broadway, New York: Podunk Crossing and Hog Eye. Texas; it has thrilled the social elite as well as the gallery god in nearly every country on the globe. Why? Because the story of “East Lynne" Is one that never get out-of-date. It doesn’t deiiend for its appeal 0:1 the passing fad or fancy of the moment. It doesn’t deal with “votes for women," or “the llapper prob-

lem,” or “why men leave home," or “whose hootch and why”: no. It isn't the sort of play that dies out when the particular popular complex of the moment gives way to another. For tho story of “East Lynne” is based on intense love interest, on the devotion and self-sacrifice of a woman for her Ideal —and what more universal and Listing appeal need a picture or a play have than tl.oso elements? True, there Is a tragic note to “East Lynne.” But that is one of the reasons the play has lived these decades in the hearts of theatergoers. Audiences like pathos; the most sueeessful plays and books deal plentifully in the more serious, even tragic, rides of life. Yet there must boa leavening of humor to afford relief from what otherwise would be too depressing an atmosphere of gloom. Because such a story demanded the best available screen talent, Mr. Fox selected the cast with elaborate care. Assisting Miss Rubens and Mr. Lowe are Lou Tellegen, Frank Keenan, Marjorie Daw, Belle Bennett, Lydia Knott, Leslie Fenton, Martha Mattox, Harry Seymour, Virginia Marshall and Rich ard Headrick. The bill will include a, number of film novelties and an elaborate musical program. -I- -I- -I* TOM MIX TO BE SEEN AT THE ISIS “The Best Bad Man," starring Tom Mix, will be presented at the Isis

Dr. Rockwell, who will top the bill at B. F. Keith’s week of March 28, has a panacea for all Ills. A doctor, like all men with a claim of this sort, Is a quack, but a quack has his place In the world, and|u has Dr. Rockwell. He has a theory that laughter Is a cure for most ailments, and by liberally dispensing sinllcs, pills anil laugh liquids and every other omen of fun provoking medicines, he expects to cure the world, and whether he does or not, he at least succeeds in making It a great jollier and brighter. Os course, Dr. Rockwell Is reullyj not a doctor at all, but an excecd-s ingly clever monolnglst, having to do with Ills and pills and the other things encountered by medical men which offers unlimited comedy opportunities. He expounds his own theory on how to live 150 years. He touches upon various subjects such as balanced meals, vitamins, reducing for fat people, coffee drinking, and in con elusion gives a very enlightening discussion of chiropractic. The entire lecture is comedy, but it is given in a dignified vein, much as a professor lecturing to a class of students. Dr. Rockwell, having studlod medl cine, Judiciously uses the medical terminogoly here and there with such wonderful results that local physicians often marvel at his sn entitle "vocabulary.
