OHIO WILL PLAY RETURN SHOWING OF ‘THE BIG PARADE’

Milton Sills Will Be Seen in ‘The Valley of,the Giants’ at Indiana —‘The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come' on View at the Circle, STARTING this afternoon, “The Big Parade” will opdn a week’s engagement at the Ohio. This is the same picture that played here as a road show and later still at popular prices. Pioneer work through the forest, sulking from cover to cover, taking it on the run across meadows, meeting the enemy in the open in widely separated formation, putting on gas

masks, deploying in trenches and shell holes just captured, going over the top again and again, the Yanks in this picture show the mettle that was embodied in an Argonne commander’s famous answer: “We will not go back, andj we are ready.’’ The strong scene of the American troops advancing slowly into a woods which may be bristling with Gomans, in open ord£r, slowly, watching the line to see that they are “dressed up’’ rather than that murderous wood, is one that will live a long time, both as drama and an accurate record of,a true tactic used in the great war. Life in the billet and at the front are the background in this picture by King Vidor of a story of three war buddies and a French farm girl. The modern musketeers are played by John Gilbert, Karl Dane and Tom O’Brien, and the girl by Renee Adoree. Connie and his band .play several new arrangements of popular songs, with Jimmy Hatton doing the vocal choruses. The news reel and comedy complete the bill. tt tt tt “VALLEY OF THE GIANTS” AT THE INDIANA Milton Sills in “The Valley of the Giants,” with Doris Kenyon as his support, shares honors with Charlie Davis and his band in “Highlights,” a John Murray Anderson production featuring a cast of popular Broadawy entertainers. Milton Sills, who has given some I of the finest characterizations in the history of the motion picture, has one of his greatest roles in “The Valley of the Giants.” Sills’ portrayal of Bryce Cardigan, son of the pioneer lumber magnate in the picturization of Peter B. Kyne’s great romance of the big trees, is one that stamps him as a consummate artist, and one that will long be remembered. “The Valley of the Giants” is a story set among the redwoods of California, with the colorful lumber industry as a background. In this environment Sills is perfectly at home, and his interpretation of Kyne’s hero leaves nothing to be desired. Placing opposite Sills in this picture is Doris Kenyon, who returns to the screen after a year’s absence. Miss Kenyon is cast as the heart of young Cardigan, and does her usual faultless performance. Paul Hurst is seen in the role of Randeou, the half-breed lumber boss. Arthur Stone plays Buck, Cardigan’s bpddy, with his usual comedy touches. Yola d’Avril plays the maid, Charles Sellon is Pennington, the rival magnate; George Fawcett plays the father, and Phil Brady is Big Boy. With this excellent cast, all the roles in “The Valley of the Giants” are well handled, and Sills is given excellent support. The picture was directed by Charles Brabin. It provides keen entertainment, thrills, suspense and has a beautiful romance. In “Highlights” Charlie Davis and the rest of the local favorites will be heard in several clever musical numbers, and during the enfoldment of “Highlights” will be introduced Maizie Clifton and Billie De Rex, two comedians and dancers,

Another dancer v of ability and possessing a fine voice is Miss Helen McFarland. Announced as a whirlwind dancing due, Lou Masse and Ambrose Dietrich liVfe up to their name in their particular style. Douglas Burley contributes what is known as a slow motion comedy dance. Another troupe of the Foster Girls, trained by Allan K. Foster, foremost director of this particular style of work, provides some sensation quite unlike anything seen here before. Indiana Theater patrons will remember the big hit stored by an earlier set of Foster girls who worked on trapeze and rigging during the presentation of “Shadowland.” “High Lights” contains comedy, dancing and music well up to the usual high standard. The setting and costuming are gorgeous. Another of the funny “Ko-Ko” song cartoons is included on the bill, this time illustrating in animation Alexander’s Ragtime Band. Maurice at the Grand Barton playing “Organ Cafeteria” and short reels complete the program. tt tt a CIRCLE TO SHOW SHEPHERD PICTURE Motion picture records for long location trips, measured by time and distance, were shattered by A1 Rogcll in directing “The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come.” an elrborate film version of the Harold Bell Wright novel which is to be seen at the Circle Theater for one week beginning today. Various portions of Arkansas, Missouri and Utah, as well as scenes taken in the California studio, were used in the film. A total of over 3,500 miles was covered by the entire company of fifteen actors, forty extras and a technical staff of seventy men. Three months were spent by the company away from the studio traveling by special train, automobile, wagon and pack train. Only interiors were filmed at the Firs. National Studios at Burbank, at the end of the location trip. The Utah scenes were those including huge herds of sheep, and the Ozark Mountains formed the background against which log cabins, streams and a grist mill were used. Molly Day and John Boles, the latter appearing with Gloria Swanson in her last picture, “The Loves of Sunya,” are seen as the young lovers, Sammy Lane and Young Matt, and Alec B. Francis has the role of The Shepherd. Other members of the cast are Matthew Betz, Marion Douglas, Otis Harlan, Joseph Bennett, Carl Stockdale and Romaine Fielding. The overture on this week’s program is “A Medley of Popular Melodies,” arranged by Edward Resener and played under his direction by the Circle concert orchestra, assisted by Miss Fern Van Braner, fiarp soloist, and the special stage attraction is Carlo Restivo, whistler and accordionist. * * The Circle News, a Lupino Lane

The latter picture is one of those alluring films which conjure up visions of dancing girls and moonlight nights. The background of tropical islands has furnished the author with the opportunity to introduce mystery, romance, action and tense situations which grip the film lover. Conway Tearle portrays the American youth who, to shield his uncle, assumes the blame for an embezzle’ment and seeks adventure among the natives of an unknown island. He finds himself in possession of an entrancing native girl, played by Dorothy Sebastian, who insists she belongs to him and over whom he is forced to'fight for his very existence. To complicate matters, the youth is in love with an American girl and intends to be true to her. Chaplin, admitted to be inimitable as a comedian, has produced a fast rolling comedy in “The Rink.”

Search for Modern Cinderella

Here’s a chance for the modern Cinderella to share in some of the good fortune that befell the original lady of the dainty feet. In other words, if you have extra dainty lower extremities you have a good chance to win an $lB pair of I. Miller shoes, in addition to winning the “smallest feet” championship of Indianapolis. The small feet controversy was started by Carrie of the team of Carrie and Eddie, featured in the Petite Revue at B. F. Keith’s this week. Carrie claims to have the smallest feet, so her size, of any woman she knows—and it’s up to Indianapolis women to prove that she must be mistaken. So The Indianapolis Times, in connection with B. F. Keith’s theater, has assumed the role of the prince in the fairy tale and set about finding a modern Cinderella—the smallest footed woman in Indianapolis. All that is necessary to enter this contest is to take a pencil and a piece of paper and outline the size of your foot without a shoe on it. Then write your name, address and telephone number on the paper and mail it to The Cinderella Contest Editor, B. F. Keith’s Theater, Indianapolis, so that it reaches the theater by Friday noon, Feb. 3. Every woman living in Indianapolis who is more than eighteen years of age is eligible to enter the contest. On Saturday evening, Feb. 4, the twenty-six women whose feet are shown by the outlines they have entered, are judged the smallest will be asked to come to the theater for a final decision. To the one whose feet are the smallest, Carrie will give an' order for a ch6ice of any $lB pair of I. Miller shoes carried by H. P. Wasson and Company. The other twenty-five “runners-up” will be given a pair of orchestra tickets I for Keith’s for the week of Feb. 5. You need only a pencil, paoer and small ffcet to enter the contest. Send

five centuries have been called upon for subject matter, and each one is interpreted with deep reverence as well as high technical skill. The young men and women from St. Olaf College sing the most difficult works ever written for choral performance; sing them without accompaniment, without scores, and without an aid to the assumption and maintenance to pitch. And they do it seemingly as easily as the average college chorus would “Old Black Joe.” As long as the St. Olaf Choir continues to draw crowds, critics need not despair of the quality of public taste.
