PAGE FOUR. INTENTION OF AUTHOR MAINTAINED IN FILM STORY “MAIN STREET” town | AM that Sinclair Lewis meant that | “Main Street” should be, a record of Mife in a small town with tts attend: | ant opposition to new theories, has | been maintained in the screen ver- sion of this popular novel which opened yesterday at the Rizlto the- ater. Monte Blue has been cast In the role of Dr. Will Kennicott, and Blorence Vidor assumes the part of Carol Kennjcott, the artistic and im- pressionistic young bride who seeks to reform the town according to her ideas of beauty. Noah Beery has an important character part. Too much cannot be said for the this best-seller has been filmed. such as Mr. Lewis | a narration of events seem- without — thri parently without a great dramatic climax, and to inject into it the humor and punch which has been injected into this picture while at the same time retaining tho general sequence of the original story is a motion pic- ture marvel, and nothing less. Mr. Blue has been well selected for the part he plays. The steady eaty going, big hearted, understand: ing Kenicott is finely personified and correctly interpreted. Miss Vidor too must come in for her share of commendation, The sensi- tive young idealist possessed of ad- vanced theories is portrayed by this leading woman with intense emo tional feeling. Few actresses have seemed to be so much in sympathy with the part they have played. There are plenty of other char- acters, plenty of caricatures, and there is plenty of Main Street. All the tragedy that could come into the soul of a sensitive person going to live in a place like Gopher Prairie where people are matter-of-fact and averse to reform especially when it comés from someone from the out- side, is brought before the members of the audience. “Main Street,” the novel, will be better appreciated when one has seen “Main Street” as it has been put on the screen. SIX FAMOUS PHOTOPLAY AGTORS IN “SUK DAYS” The all-star cast at one time was considered something new in the pic- ture world, But now it has become the acceptable thing with motion pie ture audiences. Producers in their efforts to make a higher class of pictures have seen the necessity of selecting the best players available. Charles Brabin, in his production of Elinor Glyn’s sensational story, “Six Day: coming to the Amer- fea theater Tuesday spent more than a month in choosing players for the cast. Corinne Griffith and Frank Mayo, who head tho brilliant list, have long been stars in their own right. Mayo started pictures in 1912, playing the “leading role in a picture produced in England. Corinne Griffith mgde her bow to the screen in 1917, when she played the feminine lead in @ ple ture called “Bitter Sweet.” The remainder of the cast consists of a number of the best known and experienced players in motion plc- tures. Myrtle Stedman qualified as a gifted actress in 1912, and for sev- eral years was starred In three-reel features. Maude George, whose ability as a dramatic actress was never more evident than in the in- terpretation of one of the leading roles in Von Strohefm's “Foolish Wives,’ tas an important part in Spottiswoode Aitken Clary have appeared and Charles in pictures since 1910. had less picture » long and dis- reer.

She is none oth-| er than Lillian Hackett Her wor ky} in “Danger” has aroused widespread comment of a most favorable sort | and all who have seen her charac terize her as one of “the big stars of the future.” In fact, Producer Bifelt was so impressed with her| work that he immediately put her | under contract for a period of five/ years. Incidentally, Warner is at his best in the role of Dave Collina, a rug ged son of the west who makes good st overwhelming odds, “Dan "* affords Mr. Warner the oppor tunity of appearing as a hard working, reckless and at the same time love-sick, settled-down cowboy who js not the master of his own heart, for in the pursuit of the “sil houette girl’ who had infatuated him he overlooked the girl who in time he discovers is the damsel he Lad always been looking for, Beenically and photographically, “Danger” ranks among the best ple tures seen here this sea: Frank ‘Howard Clark, who wrote the story for “Danger” has written stories for Tom Mix and Florence and King Vidor.

Following a week of capacity houses in attendance at the first bill, every- thing points to record crowds at the show which opened there yesterday. Five new and exceptional acts have been obtained. Gymnastics, comedy, singing, dancing, trained roosters, make up the show. It would be difficult to pick out the leading act, but perhaps it is Billy Knight's roosters in “Fowl Play." Mr. Knight gathered together 15 bantam roosters, and In spite of the lack of brain matter in tho head of the avcrage fowl he has proven beyond a doubt that these feathered | prising things at times. The chickens do some work in the way of climbing ladders, swinging, doing mathematical problems, and dozens of other stunts that the average barnyard fowl never heard of. Fred and Al Smith, “those difter- ent gymnasts,” are among the best acrobats appearing on the stage. Their work testifies to this. A feat of strength in which one member of this duo pulls his companion from the floor by his little fingers is cer- tainly superior Frances Dougherty is a big time attraction in many ways. Her work in singing popular melodies and interpreting popular characters is excellently done. Kneeland and Powers have some real stuff. The male member sings the praises of California in a differ- ent way, and Miss Powers shows that she can play a violin with ease. A patter act by Berger and Sea- man who present “A Western Union Flirtation” {s a surprise. Miss Sea- man comes out singing, and one ex- pects by her costume and the nature of the song that the entertainment is to be serious. Comedy has its place here, however, as soon as Berger makes his appearance in one of tho aisles of the theater. The pictare which ig being shown at the Columbia is superior. .
