VON STROHEIM GIVES NEW TWIST TO TRIANGLE Crane Does Good Comedy Work—Bebe Daniels Vamps a Husband—Lloyd Is Different The term a' big photoplay can be rightfully applied to Erich von Stro heim’s “The Devil’s Passkey,” and suc cessfully fulfills the prediction that Von Stroheim would soon become a master In developing detail. Von Stroheim paved the way for seri ous consideration on the screen with “Blind Husbands,” and his latest movie has the big sweep of understanding and powerful scenes as "Blind Husbands” possessed. The setting for "The Devil's Passkey” is Parisian and Von Stroheim has been assisted hv the Baroness de Meyer and the two have been able to create a com pelling dramatic atmosphere In which the characters have the opportunity to take part In numerous dramatic scenes. The way In which Von Stroheim has handled the eternal triangle situation im presses upon the visitor at the Ohio the truthfulness of the situations and it is easy to state that “The Devil's Passkey” is not only one of intense in terest but demands serious consideration. Mr. Stroheim appears to have the same ability which Is possessed by George Cohan on the stage, to take a common situation and by a peculiar turn or by the introduction of something new give the entire production wealth of novelty which the public Is demanding. Another thing that should be said In the nroducer’s favor, is that he has suc cessfully picked the right type for each character. Maude George in her characterization of Renee Malot, a clever modiste who succeeds in getting some of her fashion able customers indebted to her, and In this way is able to hold a menacing hand over them, deserves particular credit. Bhe Is an Intelligent screen actress who never overacts. Una Trevelyn, Ruth King, San de Grasse, have prominent roles and they properly fit Into the picture. The pro duction has been given a lavish settlrg and the careful attention to detail again shows the sincerity of purpose of the producer “The Devil’s Passkey" is on view all week at the Ohio. -I- -!- -!- BEBE IS A VAMP IN FIRST STARRING MOVIE Hall the appearance or Bebe Daniel* as a star Since the screen debut, the ad mirers of Miss Daniels have been anx ious to see her in a play of her own She Is appearing at the Alhambra In “You Never Can Tell,” a comedy drama that is well adapted for her For a time we thought that the play wasn't going to end right, when the heroine was lured to the Frenchman's room, but we breathed easier when we found that be was a tailor who wanted to hire a model That Is Jnst one of the surprises that we got during this play, however “You Never Can Tell” Is full of half mysteries and surprises Bebe Daniels Is a cloak-room girl In a Mg hotel In the play, who decides to marry a rich man She might not have $1.98 Lingerie Satin, $1.39 White lingerie satin, 36 inches wide, washes beautifully. —Pettis silks, street floor, aisle one.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8,1920. her cast The play as a whole is well worth seeing You will enjoy the story as well as the opportunity of seeing Miss Daniels in her first independent produc tion * At the Alhambra first half of this week -1- -I- -I MANY COMEDY SCENES IN “THE SAPHKAD” AT COLONIAL. There are plenty of laughs stored in “The Saphead.” It is a sort of a drama, but ft is so funny that It probaly will be classed as a comedy. There is a laugh every minute, caused by Buster Keaton, who is co-starred with William H. Crane. The piny In question is “The Sap head, which is on view at the Colonial today and the of the week. It has all the qualities of a successful photo play, and reflects the best efforts of the director. The story is Interesting, and although wo were doubtful as to the success of a combination of Kenton and Irvin Cummings, who pities the villain, we had no fault to flua with the finished production. The story Is interesting and the cast was good, and nothing was omitted that would insure its success. Irving Cummings has the part of the villain of the piece, and Buster Keaton it the sapbead, from whom the play takes its name. William Crane Is Nick Von Alstyne, father of the saphead. There is quite a bit of dramatic work by Cummings and Crane, but the audience gets many glimpses of the saphead at some comedy work that turns the tide to laughter. The scenes of the play are laid largely in the stock exchange, wfcere the for tunes of the Van Alstynes are rescued from destruction by some clever sap head work on the port of the saphead. “The Saphead" is a play that you will like. It amuses without effort, and of fers a big amount of entertainment. At the Colonial all week. -!- -I- -I CHAKI.IE RAY IS AGAIN THE RUBE.
