. ONE SF HAPPIEST RAEN I MOTION PICTURES Richard Barthelmess is one of the happiest young men in motion pic- tures. Happy because he has achieved stardom, happy because there are no long waits between his pictures, happy because he is being supplied with an infinite variety of roles, and happy because his ducer director is casting his tures with highly talented players. Thjs last cause for happiness tn- ficates that this young star has a great deal of native intelligence. His own particular role might stand | out more prominently were his sup- | porting players of mediocre ability —but his pictures would suffer, and | Js own fame decline. ~Many an egotistical star has seen his or her popularity wane as the result of too much self in the picture. That, | to a greater extent even than poor | stories, has withered many a prom: | ising career. As an example of cast selection for a Richard Barthelmess picture, “The Fighting Blade," his newest First National picture, the feature of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs- days program at the America the- ater, might be instanced. This !s a John S. Robertson production based on the conflict between the cavaliers and the roundheads, or the forces of the king, Charles I, and Oliver Cromwell. Names that were familiar to the picture going public were as naught to Mr. Rob- erston, unless those names had back of them true histrionic skill or ability. Thus it is that the cast includes such celebrities as Dorothy Mackaill, who has achieved enviable success on the stage and screen, 18 playing opposite Mr. Barthelmess; Lee Baker, celebrated as leading | man for Minnie Maddern Fiske, Bertha Kalish and other stars of the legitimate stage who makes his de- but on the screen in this picture; Morgan Wallace, just back from a triumph in London in “Lawful Larceny”; Frederick Burton a vet eran character actor; Philip Tead, Bradley Barker, Walter Horton Marcia Harris, and the famous fol- Mes beauty, Allyn King. i ae “OLAVE OF DESIRE” CLOSES AT AMERICA That the dawn of a new era in motion pictures has come may be safely asserted when great literary masterpieces are given fine screen Presentations. Such is “Slave of Desire,” the picture at the America for the last times today. This is a lavish photoplay of Balzac’s immor- tal story, “The Magic Skin,” and al- though the title has been changed, Gilbert E. Gable, who produced the picture for Goldwyn-Cosmopolitan, has adhered to the great French movelist's story “Slave of Desire’ is noteworthy because it affords an opportunity for three sterling film favorites to do the best work of thelr careers. George Walsh, one of the screen's handsomest men, Bessie Love, and Carme! rs head the cast, the lat- > Countess Fedora, who had men in Paris bewitched oft by her allur arm. For t . of those who haven't read Balzac’s story, it is about Raphael ‘Valentin, a young mer. He js in love with Fedora (like many other men) but she jilts him, and, his fortunes impoverished, he is about to end it all with a leap into the Seine when an old antiquar a magic skin. ‘This precious talis- man wll cause his every wish to be fulfiled, the antiquarian tells Ra- phael, but with every wish it will shrink and when it finally disap- pears, Raphael's life will ebb away. Money, fame and everything he de- sired, came to Raphael, but with] every wish the magic skin shrunk until finally it became no larger than an oak leaf. How Raphael escaped the cur magic skin through @n unselfish wish which he thought meant forms a stirring dramatic cl A pictu wortk seeing is “IE Sh st D TO AE GREATEST FILM YET BY GLORIA SWANSON no night life ot| the heat of hu- and tragic with the s two leading charac- ch is now playing at Glorious with Paris, dramatic w man passions, the 2 alto |for the splendid bills an gives him | are parted, but when the confjtct is over are brought into a happier rela- tionship than they were before.

The cast contains the names of Elaine Hammerstein, Bert Lytell, Lew Cody Claire Windsor, Hobart Bosworth yant Washburn, Marjorie Daw, Mitchell Lewis, Adolphe Menjou. Emo Lincoln, Irving Cumming, Josephine Crowell, Nigel De Brullier and Gertrude Astor. Victor Herman directed the pio ture and his capable hand will be evidenced in settings, lighting, pho tography and all the innumerable details which frequently make or mar a production. OHIPLOND OF LAUGHS =: IN “OUT OF LUCK” AT THE WYOMING THEATER Hoot Gibson, the youthful cowboy who has galloped through so many Universal western photoplays, offers a whole shipload of laughs in hi latest comedy-drama, “Out of Luck, which was shown last night at the Wyoming theater. The famous “buckeroo” screen comedian had a hard time getting the angle to the ground swells that gently rocked the superdrea nought California, which furnishes the locale fer many of the scenes and laurhs in the picture. Hoot has the role of Sam Pertune, a cowboy who left his home town by the way of a bicyclé and the brake- beams of a freight train after an un- pleasant altercation with his prospec- tive father-inlaw, and joined the navy to await the outcome of the controversy. Sam thought the navy would be a/ great place to see the world, but after a day or two out to sea he changed his mind and longed for the waving bunch of grass of the home prairies. All he had seen was the white spray of the sea as it flashed by the giant ship. And he was far too sick ‘to even observe that clearly. He thought qhat he was going to die and he vowed that he wished he would. | Sam’s manoeuvers as he leaned MOTHER Baby’s Best Laxative is “California Fig Syrup” When baby is constipated, has Wwindcolic, feverish breath, coated- tongue, or diarrhea, a half-teaspoon- ful of genuine “California Fig Syrup” promptly removes the poisons, gases, bile, souring food and waste right out..
