ALL MOVIE THEATERS PLAN BIG NEW YEAR’S WEEK BILLS

Colleen Moore to Be at the Circle in “Twinkletoes” —Ohio to Offer “God Gave Me Twenty Cents” —Apollo to Have New Bebe Daniels Movie. Colleen Moore comes to the Circle Sunday as the new year’s week attraction. She will be seen in “Twinkletoes,” an adaptation of one of Thomas Burke’s famous stories of the Limehouse district of London.

Kenneth Harlan, Gladys Brockwell, Warner Oland, Julane Johnston, Tully Marshall and Lucien Littlefield appear in the supporting cast of this production, which was directed by Charles Brabin, who handled the megaphone during the making of Miss Moore’s big screen success, “So Big.” The action of the new story centers around a charming love affair between Twinkletoes and a young Limehouse pugilist, Chuck Lightfoot. Twinlt is a dancer in the Quayside Theater, and for this role the star has discarded her black Dutch bob and appears with curly golden hair. The story is said to tie freely sprinkled with comedy, though the sinister influence of Limehouse creeps into the story several times to bring unhappiness to Twink, who finally triumphs over her sordid surroundings and true hap- , piness with her misguided father and her sweetheart. The Circle Concert Orchestra under the direction of Stolarevsky will play a New Year’s overture. Other features of the program will be “Fighting to Win,” the second of the “Collegian” series; the Circle News, and an organ solo by Dessa Byrd.
