ELIZABETH PATTERSON IN RETURN OF PETER GRIMM’

wnor Glyn Writes Another Heart Thriller for Screen, Which Will Be on View at Ohio Next Week —Viola Dana to Be in ‘Kosher Kftty Kelly.’ % Elizabeth Patterson, one of the most popular and one of the greatest artists that Stuart Walker ever brought to Indianapolis, will be seen next week in the movie version of “The Return of Peter Grimm” at the Colonial. This will be the first movie to be shown in this city that has the services of Miss Patterson. She will be seen as Mrs. Bartholomey.

The cast of "Grimm'' includes Alec B. Francis as Peter Grimm, the part played by David Warfield; John Roche, Janet Gaynor, Lionel Belmore and others. Alec B. Francis entertained no illusions when he assumed the name role in “The Return of Peter Grimm,’’ Fox Film’s version of David Belasco’s internationally known stage play. “I was quite conscious of the fact that there is but one David Warfield,” said Mr. Francis, discussing he part with Director Victor Schertdnger, “and I had no intention of :rying to duplicate the performance ■>f the man who made this and other Belasco roles stand out above everyhing oise in the theatrical world. "I knew that it would be foolish to ’ollow the David Warfield interpretation. I consider Dave one of the greatest actors the legitimate stage ms produced. His artistry is peculiarly his own. That is why he is <reat. It would bf suicidal for any ictor to strive to parallel his per’ormance. > "Then, too. I consider myself ’ortunate, in that I have never seen Mr. Warfield in the role of Peter Trimm. Hence, I was not handicapped by his portrayal. I felt that 1 wanted to interpret the character my own way. thus being true to njr basic instincts, and giving a beter performance than if I tried to xrork along lines prescribed by othrs.” Peter Grimm is the role Mr. J Francis has wanted to play for the J ?ast six years and he was delighted \ vhen he was selected for the part 'y Mr. Schertzinger. The screen play is by Bradley King. In addition to this feature picture, the Colonial next week will save a stage presentation, orchestra music and other events.
