CANTOR WILL BE SEEN IN A FILM VERSION OF ‘KID BOOTS’

Lewis Stone Has Role of Celebrated Pianist in ‘Don Juan’s Three Nights’—lrene Rich and Conway Tearle Appear in ‘My Official Wife.’ Florence Ziegfeld’s musical comedy production, “Kid Boots,” screened under the direction of Frank Tuttle with Eddie Cantor in. the title role, which lie originated and played for three years on Broadway and throughout the country, will be the attraction at the Apollo next week. Cantor brings anew and engaging personality to the screen.

A facile comedian, he is authority for the statement that motion pictures affer far greater possibilities for comedy than the stage, and in "Kid Boots” he sets forth to prove his contention. Cantor, of course, has his original role of Samuel (Kid) Boots the unassuming and resourceful tailor’s assistant who, through circumstances unforseen and over which he has no control, suddenly finds himself employed as a caddy bn the golf course of an exclusive Country Club, there to hobnob with the scions of wealth and to become a roost important factor in two romances that are productive of many hectic, hilarious moments. "Kid Boots" is the first of the Ziegfeld shows to be done in cinema form. Though no great amount of mental concentration is required to digest the plot, nevertheless the story, independent of innumerable mirthful situations which crop out most unexpectedly, is sufficient for the purpose of providing good entertainment. In Cantor’s support are Clara Bow, Billie Dove, Lawrence Gray, Natalie Kingston, Malcolm Waite, William J. Worthington, Harry Von Meter, Fred Esmelton and a galaxy of Ziegfeldlan beauties. Other films will be a Hal Roach comedy, "Wise Guys Prefer Brunettes" and the Fox news weekly. Pasquale L. Montani returns for a. special engagement as harp soloist. Lester Huff will offer an organ solo entitled "Rose Colored Glasses" and Emil Seidel and his orchestra will be heard in popular selections. -I- -!• LEWIS STONE'S NEW MOVIE DUE AT CIRCLE The Circle’s feature attraction, beginning tomorrow, will be Lewis Stone in "Don Juan's Three Nights," the film adaptation of Ludwig Biro’s sophisticated story of the same name, which presents Mr. Stone in the role of a celebrated pianist, Johann Aridi, who is better known as “Don Juan” because of his many affairs with beautiful and prominent women.
