The story was written for the screen by Benjamin Olaier in collaboration with Ernest. Vajda. internationally known playwright and original screen writer.

The picture's locale is New York and the action takes place for the most part on and behind the stage of a theater. Miss Vidor and Clive Brook form the team of "Vera and Norodin,” magic workers and illusionists. A romance, developed during their long partnership, hits a snag vfhen Lowell Sherman, a wealthy broker, snatches Miss Vidor from the path of a falling girder. An acquaintanceship ensues which ripens into apparent love. Norodln's vaudeville feature is to remain under water in a locked trunk for two minutes, freeing himself from ropes and manacles in order to prevent suffocation. It is advertised that he will do the stunt when the casket is thrown from the dock into deep water, and he asks Vera to avoid being present. She discovers that this is his way of stepping out of her life and frantically rushes to the pier, where a crowd jhas assembled, and then, when Nor'odin does not come to the surface, she realizes that it is he whom she loved. The special attraction on the stage for the week will be original Parisiennes orchestra, composed of seven talented syncopators, including Desmonda Reiman, vocal soloist, who was formerly a member of the "Maryland Singers" on the vaudeville stage, who will offer a highly entertaining program of the latest .melody hits, and also a group of solo ■elections. , Miss Ruth Noller and Tama Lyke, organists, will play at the Ohio organ. An Imperial comedy, "A 1 Society,” and a Pathe News will complete the film program. •I- -I- -I"MISMATES” TO OPEN SUNDAY AT CIRCLE The attraction for the week at the Circle beginning Sunday will be “mismates," the adaptation of the Myron C. Fagan stage play of the same name. Miss Doris Kenyon is the featured player in this production, which concerns the story of Judy O'Grady, a young manicurist who marries Jim Winslow, the son of a very wealthy and aristocratic family. They refuse to accept the girl and discontinue the son's allowance. Jim soon finds that poverty and earning a living for his wife and baby son is not nearly so pleasant a mode of living and allows his parents to persuade him to desert her and the baby. Forced to support herself and Jier little son, Judy unwittingly takes a position in an establishment which is used as a fence for stolen jewels, and is arrested when the place is raided. How she is arrested and sent to jail on false testimony of her hus- 1 band; how she escapes and forces her way into the Winslow home, where she believes her baby is dying, and how she finally triumphs over the sham and shalldwness of the Winslows to find true happiness with' a childhood sweetheart, is told in this story. Philo McCullough is seen in support of Miss Kenyon in the role of the unprincipled husband, and Warner Baxter appears as the childhood sweetheart.

Without hesitation I predict that Mr. Warner’s portrayal of the Christ will be a high point in dramatic history as well as an outstanding achievement in the world of motion picture acting." 11l addition to H. S. Warner the cast of “The King of Kings" nov includes Joseph and Rudolph Schildkraut, Victor Varconl and Majel Coleman. A number of other prominent players will be added as rapidly as they can be secured for the many important roles in this production, with interest at the present time centered on De Mille's search for a Mary Magdalene. < Although De Mille has made more than fifty screen tests of actresses, stars and unknowns alike, he has not yet found an actress who he believes completely fills the requirements of this role.'

‘DON JUAN' AND VITAPHONE IN N. Y. PREMIERE Picture and Barrymore Are Phenomenal Successes in Cast. Warner Bros., in connection with the Vitaphone Corporation, introduced Vitaphone as a prelude to the premiere of John Barrymore in “Don Juan” at the Warner Theater in New York, on Aug. 5. The event in importance and results overshadowed anything the moving picture world has ever known. The success achieved was astonishing, marking anew era with far-reaching results in the amusement world. Naturally, there was a tremendous amount of Interest in Vitaphone. Scientists had declared in advance that it absolutely synchronized motion and sound. Michael L. Pupin. the foremost authority on electrical science in this country, had pointed to Vitaphone as of the marvels of the century, and the 1 perfection a dream that had filled the brains* of many experts for years. Big Audience If the audience composed of people distinguished In science, high in society and noted In business that filled the Warner Theater was credulous regarding Vitaphone, it is small wonder, for so much had been promised. What this audience saw. just to pick one or two of the star numbers on the program, was this: There came upon the screen the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Henry Hadley, the conductor, raised his baton, and the strains of the overture majestically floated through the house. This over, Marion Talley, the gifted young diva from Kansas City, who had created a furore earlibr in the season at the Metropolitan Opera House, walked into view. She sang “Care Nome," the aria from "Rigoletto” with which she established her reputation over night in*New York. The voice came with tone, volume, tempo and perfection, and for all the world as if the diva stood there in person. Noted Singers Then there were those other Metropolitan favorites, Anna Case and Giovanni Martinelli, and if there were not riches enough there followed Mischa Elman, the violin virtuoso; Harold Bauer, the pianist; Efrem Zimbalist, the violinist, and the chorus of the Metropolitan Op(Tum to Page 7)
