ORD AND GLENN, RADIO STARS, DUE AT THE CIRCLE

Vohard Dix Will Be Featured at the Apollo in 'Paradise For Two’—Colonial to Offer Jean Hersholt in ‘The Wrong Mr. Wright’ Next Week. v “The Music Master,” the screen version of the famous old stage play which has been one of the most successful of David Warfield’s vehicles for several years, is the attraction at the Circle Theater beginning tomorrow, with Ford and Glenn, popular radio favorites, on the Circle stage. “The Music Master” tells the story of a lovable old musician, Anton Von Barwig,* who left a brilliant career in Vienna to search for his wife and baby daughter.

For nineteen years he continues his search, selling, in the meantime, all the precious momentoes of happier days, to pay detectives. At the opening of the story the pathetic old figure is living in a cheap boarding house in New York, teaching music to the children of the neighborhood, and playing evenings in a medicine show orchestra. Here he meets his daughter, who is interested in child welfare work among the slum children. She has been broug htup in luxury, by her foster-father, and is about to marry the scion of one of New York’s most aristocratic families. He goes to her home to give her piano lessons, and she tells him of her life and of her beloved mother who has died. Convinced that he has found his daughter, he decides not to tell her who he is, fearing lest he spoil her chance of happiness. The climax is reached in the scene made famous on the stage by David Warfield, when the girl’s real father and her foster-father meet and clash with all the accumulated bitterness of the years between them. How the father of the girl’s fiance brings happiness to the Music Master, his daughter and her sweetheart, is told in this delightful story, which was directed by Allan Dwan. Alec C. Francis appears in the title role, with Lois Moran as the daughter and Neil Hamilton as her fiance. Norman Trevor, Charles Lane, Marcia Harris, Kathleen Kerrigan, Helen Chandler, Walter Catlett, and Bill Tilden, tennis star, appear in the supporting cast. Ford and Glenn, entertainers, will be featured on the stage at the Circle beginning tomorrow. Known from coast to coast as the -most popular stars on the air, Ford and Glenn have appeared in many of the leading cities of the country, winning theater audiences as completely as they have those of radio fans. Originators of anew style of singing and fun-making, this popular couple will appear in a cycle of attractive new songs. The program will include the overture, played by the Circle Concert Orchestra, under the direction of Stolarevsky; the Circle News; a KoKo Song Car-Tune; and a Circle comedy presentation. RICHARD DIX IS FEATURED AT APOLLO That admirable combinaton of Richard Dix, star, and Gregory La Cava, dii'ector, distinguishes “Paradise For Two,’’ a* comedy drama to be shown at the Apollo next week. And if this in itself were not enough to make the picture an outstanding production, the cast contains Betty Bronson, Andre Beranger and Edmund Breese. LaCava, it will be remembered, di-

Looks Good Bedecked in brilliant and expensive uniforms and wearing the beard without which no Russian seems complete, Montague Love has become a grand duke. The title was bestov'ed upon him by John McCormick, general manager of West Coast production for First National, who signed the player for a prominent role in ’’The Tender Hour," George Fitzmaurice’s forthcoming picture.

rected Dix in such hits as "Womanhandled,” "Let’s Get Married" and "Say It Again.” His good work is much in evidence in "Paradise For Two,” a whimsical romance of New York life with the star in the role of Steve Porter, a wealthy young bache v lor with a penchant for gay parties. Though any number of fair maidens are angling for his heart Steve falls in love with a mere i shadow —a girl whom he has only | seen silhouetted on the drawn win dow blind of a cheap lodging house ] across the alley-way from his own | sumptuous apartment. About this time, due to exaggerated tales of his conduct, Steve receives an ultimatum from a crusty old uncle, the administrator of his financial affairs, that he must marry or forfeit his fortune. I To escape from this Steve heeds a ] suggestion from Maurice, a friend and theatrical producer, that they hire a girl to pose as Mrs. Porter just long enough to force his uncle to make a settlement, after which ho can marry or remain single, as he chooses. Unknown to either of the j plotters the “girl of the silhouette’' ; also becomes a party to the scheme, j Many keen situations ensue, spiced I with laughable episodes and enough | dramatic tension to maintain interest | at a high pitch until the climax of | the story. ! An Our comedy, “Bring Home The Turkey,” the Fox news weekly, an organ specialty by Lester | Huff, a group of Victor Herbert’s | most popular compositions played by I Emil Seidel and his orchestra, and I Passie Fuime, “the Rambling Har- | monica virtuoso,” will complete the I program. * !

edy romance of Holland, featuring Marion Davies in the leading role, which is said to be one of her most eventful offerings, will be the photo- j play feature shown at the Ohio theater for the coming week.

Russell Powell, . Karl Dane and Fred Gambold. Surrounded by this cast, the noted screen beauty plays the Holland heroine in the new adaptation of the J famous stage hit of the same name, I one of Victor Herbert’s dramatic triumphs. Attired in blue petticoats, wooden shoes nnd the cap and pigtails of the land of dykes, she is a demure little heroine, strikingly different from her recent characterization of royalty in “Beverly of Graustark.” The story ranges from light comedy to grim drama and a hint of super-

natural thrills, and Miss Davies’ costumes are said to be colorful in the extreme. The picture was made with some of the hugest and most .spectacular settings ever constructed for a motion picture, and involving the strangest of engineering feats, that of freezing over a huge canal by artificial refrigeration to stage a skating festival in a winter scene in the middle of summer. Several hundred people take part in the great ice festival, a glittering spectacle in the picture, representing a winter fiesta in the Holland village erected for the production. It was directed by William Goodrich from a scenario by Frances Marion. Charlie Davis and his gang offer a musical program called "Broadway Nights,” as a stage attraction.
