FAIRY PRINCE IN MURRAY MOVIE WORKS CHARM Olive Tell in *Clothes ’ —Ferguson at Alhambra—Rogers Is Splendid If takes an artist to torn back tbe P&9es of time and make grown-up folk enjoy a fairy tale of tbe days when the knights rode white horses and carried (their lady lores away to the altar Instead ' of -waitin’ for them and winking at them on street corners. Sach an artist is George Fitzmaurice, director sos the Famous Players-Laskey Corporation, who has skilfully placed a fatty story for .com pari son within a mod ern story of an unhappy marriage, which is the theme of Mae Murray’s latest movie, “The Right to Love.” The characters in the fairy story are True Love, the Ice Lady, King Wealth, the King of Power, the Love Knight and others. The fairy story concerns a beautiful princess whose father sells her to King Power, and the good looking Love Knight, with whom the princess is in love. Is kicked out of the castle when 'lie tries to rescue his lady love from King Power. The pretty princess is taken to King Power's palace and she discovers that the Ice Lady, the favorite of King Power, is the real mistress of the place. The only happiness coming to the prin ces is a baby boy. and in him she suf fers while her heart is in prison. The princess had been denied the right to love. Mr. Fitzmaurice has taken this fairy story as a comparison to a modern love less marriage—that of Lady Falkland, played by Mae Murray, to Sir Archibald Falkland, acted by Holmes E. Herbert. The setting is in Turkey and a weird, •romantic and strange atmosphere is ob tained for the suffering of Lady Falk land. Her husband favors Lady Edith, played with marked restraint by Alma Tell and the husband to complicate mat ters Installs Lady Edith in his own home. Lady Edith and Sir Archibald plot to compel Lady Falkland to get a divorce and to obtain this effect tbe picture be comes meldramatie with sobs and tears, Insults to the suffering wife and even murder is resorted to in an effort to obtain the ‘‘big punch” to the picture. David Powell plays the modern role of Col. Richard Loring, who rescues Lady Falkland from her unhappy existence. Opinion: “The Right of Love” will apj>eal to the women; Miss Murray's beauty will Interest the men and those who enjoy beautiful scenery and effects will be thrilled with the soft photog raphy In this movie. “The Right to Love” may be seen alf week at th eOhio. W. D. H. -1- -!- -I' THREE GENERATIONS OF LOVE SHOWN IN FERGI'SON MOVIE. Three generations are depicted by El sie Ferguson in her latest picture, “Lady Rose’s Daughter.” And she has n sort of a taint In her blood in the last generation that was caused by two romantic ancestors. The play is mostly dependent npon Miss Ferguson's personality for its appeal. She adds Inter est to the story when it might seem to drag a little. Her parts are not difficult, at least In compari son with some of her former ones, bat she does ap pealing work in this picture. The story is not complicated, as the producer has not put a)l of the original story in it. ' f A i i 5; -V >' Elsie Fergusen. Mrs. Humphrey Wrd Is the author ot the story, and it is full of heart throbs and sobs. Miss Ferguson furnishes the sobs in full measure, but finds happiness in the end. David Powell and Holmes Herbert are ether important members of the cast, and do a great deal to make the picture a success. Powell is the villain, and Herbert is the one who helps the heroine to find happiness. The rest of the cast is numerous and powerful, and includes Frank Losee, Ida Waterman and Warburton Gamble. Opinion—This is a play that will make PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory. Wall, as soon as Puss put on the fur kovercoat, the mittens and cap which the j! little brown mink, the kind blind mole I and the generous little gray squirrel had f given him, he set out for the cold north jeoantry, where I told yon he was going fln the last story, to see the silly king l who wanted to paint all the crows white ' inFairy Land. | \Vell, the fartb“r Puss went the colder ; $t grew, and by and by the anow began ito fall and winds to blow, and It wasn’t traveling, let me tell yon. No sir. ilt was all Puss could do to plow | through the deer drifts, and by and by he couldn’t walk any more. “Oh, dear me:’’ he cried. “I shall freeze, I know I shall,” and he looked about him to find shelter from the chilly Wind. And lost then, all of a sudden, a little old woman came out of a door In a tree and said: “Come Into my Tree House, little Puss Junior," and then he followed her inside where it was nice and warm. And would you believe It, the inside of that great tree was fitted up Just like your house or my flat. It had a little kitchenette, with a store and a cupboard, and next to it was a little dining room with table and chairs, and upstairs in the top of the tree trunk was a nice lit tle bedroom with a four-poster bed and a chevel glass for the old woman to look In. There was an old woman who lived In a tree, she was happy as happy could be, cor in summer the birdies sang all the day long, And In thet cold winter the wind sang a song. And her little old stove kept her warm as could be, And the smoke blew away through the top of the tree. Sow take off your boots and warm Tour toes by the Are,” said the kind old woman, and then I’ll get you a saucer of warm milk.’ So Puss pulled off his red-top boots and made himself at home while the old woman went out the back door to another big tree, where she had her stable, and there she kept a spotted cow and a little donkey, on which she rode to market in the good old summer time. And after she had milked the spotted cow, for it was toward evening, you know, and milking time, she came back i to her little house and warmed a p" 11 of milk for little Puss Junior. And then she made some tea for her self and two or three pancakes, and Puss ate one, and I wish to goodness that old lady had made some for me, for I’d love to eat a cake made by an old woman who lived in a Tree House. •‘Xow, my dear/' she said after elear- Doetors Recommend Bon-Qpto for tfie Eyes Physicians and eye specialists pre scribe Bon-Opto as a safe home remedy in the treatment of eye troubles and to strengthen eyesight.

A jolly personality In town this week is Trixie Friganza, a musical comedy star, who is remembered for her work in "Town Topics." "The Sweetest Girl in Paris” and "A Trip to Chinatown." Miss Friganza is one of the Important persons on this week's bill at B. F. Keith’s. you feel sad, but you will be rewarded by seeing Miss Ferguson in a play that is worthy of her talents. At the Alhambra the first part of the week. -!- -I- -!- FIXE FEATHERS DON’T MAKE FINE BIRDS AS THIS MOVIE SHOWS. Gorgeous costumes and magnificent scenes form the basis for “Clothes,” adopted from the play by Channlng Pol lock and Avery Hopwood, which is the current attraction at the Colonial. “Clothes" offers the star, Olive Tell, no opportunity .to display any dramatic talent, but in view of the fact the pic ture was written for the fair sex, Miss Tell registers a distinct hit because of her ability to wear beautiful garments. The picture from start to finish is one big fashion show, being built around clothes, the lack of which supplies the faint plot. The story has to do with Olivia Sher wood, played by Olive Tell, an orphan, whose father has left her with nothing but some worthless mining stock and insatiable desire for fine raiment. She is kept in ignorance of her pov erty, however, by her guardian, who sup plies her with the necessary money to Indulge her tastes, but eventually de mands her hand as payment. Os course real love has made its en trance in the person of Richard Bur bank, played by Crauford Kent, and Olivia refuses her suitor, eventually mar rying Burbank. We do not attempt to describe the clothes worn by Miss Tell —the mascu line mind balks at the appalling task of describing milady's clothes, but the fact is obvious the gowns worn by Miss Teli —as the mere man would put it— "are great.” Miss Tell handles her part satisfac torily, as does Crauford Kent, the mil lionaire cave-man from the West, and the picture does not lack action, despite the absence of a plot. Opinion: A picture that is sure to ap peal to the feminine sex, skillfully direct ed and magnificently staged. A Fox comedy, “Kiss Me Quick,” com pletes the bill. -i- -!- -I “THE SILENT BARRIER” ON VIEW AT MISTER SMITH’S Louis Tracy generally can be relied upon to turn out a story with enough ing off the little table in tbe kitchen, for they hadn’t eaten in tbe dining room, as it was so cold and the fire in the kitchen stove didn't throw out enough heat to warm the rest of the Tree House, “you must spend the night here, and tomorrow morning you can set out for the Snowflake Country.” And next time you shall hear how Puss got to that strange, cold region.—Copyright, 1920.

Florence Dixon, Gladys Hulette and others. “A Fresh Start,” a comedy, is also on the bill. \ -I- -!- -I BEXXETT AT ISIS Enid Bennett, who starts out in her latest movie as a devoted . wife who thinks her place is in the kitchen cook ing good things for her husband instead of “dolling up” at her dressing table to make herself pretty and stylish, is on view in “Hairpins” the first half of the week at the Isis. This Bennett picture has been dis cussed at length in this space. -!- -1- -1- LCMBER CAMP LIFE PRODUCED IN MOVIE. William Russell assumes the role of a lumberjack in “The Man Who Dared,’ which is the week s offering at the Regent. Supporting Ryssell are Eileen Percy. Frank Brownlee and Lon Poss. Russell is seen as Big Jim O’Kane, a strong character of the woods, and the story concerns the love affairs ot this man when he courted the same girl whom the sheriff loved. The bill includes a Snub Pollard som edy, "Roek-a-Bye Baby.” -i- -I- -I WHEN BILL TODELS IT'S TIME TO RING THOSE WEDDING BELLS. Will Rogers is fast becoming identified with a brand of comedy, which is as real, wholesome and as natural as the great out of doors In* which he acts. Natural ness of acting and anew kind of a story aid in making Will Rogers’ latest movie. “C u p\ and. Cow p u ncher,” a movie entertain ment of the home spun stuff, which he does so well. Bill, in this movie is Alec Lloyd, a big whole some cowpuncher, whose greatest am bition is to marrjr off all the boys on the ranch, and his main method is to get the cowpuncher -f- Will Rogers. and the girl together, then Alec starts fn yodeling a love song. Alec's yodeling worked splendidly for every one else but himself and to get Alec - hitched up,” a whole crowd of cow gentlemen had t<T yodel like mad. After much adventure, Alec lands Made Sewell, played with spirit by Helen Chadwick and ihe last flicker of the movie shows Alec and Made making love in the good old summertime, while cow punchers yodel a love song. Year reviewer is unable to teil clearly the sweet little story in which Will Rogers Is appearing this week at tbe Circle, bat it is enough to say that Rogers is again as a homespun character and he has plenty of oppor tunity to use his nimble rope*. Opinion: If this wholesome human comedy does not appeal to you, I would suggest that you call a doctor. The bill Includes Harold Lloyd, in “Get Out and Get Under,” in which a trick auto is as funny as Lloyd. W. V. H. -I* -I- -I* THE STAGE.
