Mysticism Basic
Theme of Elaborate
Picture Spectacle
Helen Garden Returns to
Silver Screen in ‘Devil’s
Angel
Hypnotism and Its mysterious phe
nomena has provided the theme for many
a literary and dramatic masterpiece, but
it seldom has provided the basis of a
drama for the screen.
Du Maurier’a “Trilby" and “The Tales
of Hoffmann," have lona been standard
histrionic vehicles which have interested
millions of theatergoers.
And at last such a theme has been
used for the basis of a rlav for the sil
ver screen.
“The Devil’s Angel,’’ a photoplay pro
duced under the supervision of Lajaren
a Hiller, noted artist and illustrator. Is
a story of artist life and Hindu craft
in which the esoteric influence of the
occult science of hypnotism sounds the
dominant note.
Laid in the Latin quarter of New
York and Paris, where men’s intention*
and women’s conventions are cast te
the four winds for the sake of art. this
photoplay of studio life is transformed
into a weird tale of the Orient, replete
with the mystery of psychic phenomena
and Hindu intrigue.
Helen Gardner, who will be remem
bered as the star of such screen suc
cesses as “Cleopatra," “The Breath of
Arahy,” “A Princess of Bagdad." “The
Wife of Cain.” “A Sister to Carmen,"
and 'numerous others, returns to the
screen in the leading feminine role, play
ing opposite Templar Saxe.
Mitt Gardner probably will be teen in
person in Indiacapol s when the picture
la given its initial presentation here.
Peggy O’Neill, famous artist model, and
known throughout the country as “the
magazine cover girl," Is included in the
supporting cast.
Charles L. Gaskill, who was responsible
for a number of previous pictures star
ring Miss Gardner, supervised the direc
tion of her latest release. Dann Me-

MORRIS PLAYS A GREEK SCULPTOR
Who Loves Chrysis, Famous B eauty, in ‘Aphrodite ’
When F. Itay Comstock and Morris
Gest send the much-discussed spectacle,
“Aphrodite," to the Murat for one week,
tcg.nniug next Monday night, an Indi
anapolis stock favorite in the person ot
McKay Merris, who was here for sev
eral summers with the Stuart Walker
Company, will have the leading male role,
that of Demetrios, a Greek sculptor, who
becomes enamored of Chrysls, one of the
most famous courtesans of all times. Last
season at the Century Theater, New
York, “Aphrodite” was the most talked
of play of the year, and Mr. Morris
achieved a big personal success.
Being the sou of an army officer,
CoL Louis Thompson Morris of the
46th _ Cavalry, McKay Morris first
saw the light of cay at Ft. Sam Hous
ton, Texas. He was educated in Wash
ington, D. C., and the Germantown Aca
demy in Philadelphia, with a Tiew to
fitting him for West Point. But happen
ing to meet David Belaseo, young Mor
ris was persuaded to give up the Army
idea to pursue a stage career. Mr. Be
lasco gave the young aspirant bis first
part, that of a waiter in the famous
Child's restaurant scene in “The Gov
ernor’s Lady." He was also under
study for Eugene O’Brien, the film star,
who, at that time, however, was play
ing Juveniles and had no idea that in
a few years he was to achieve such wide
popularity before the camera.
William Ell’ott, who at one time was
interested with his father-in-law, David
Belaseo, in the presentation of “The Gov-
Lady,” formed a producing part
nership with F. Kay Comstock and Morris
Gest, and one of the first ventures of
the trio was the George V. Hobart mor
ality play, “Experience." McKay Morris
was engaged by them to create the role
of Blue Blood in the New York produc
tion of the play, in which he established
himself before metropolitan audiences ns
an actor of fine promise and distinction.
The following year wtfen Stuart Walk
er, who had been a stage director with
Mr. Belaseo, and had an opportunity of
observing young Morris during the re
hearsals of “The Governor’s Lady."
branched out as a producer on his own
account and started his Portmanteau
Theater, he engaged Morris ns a member
of the company. It was the finest op
portunity Morris hsd ever had, and he
created ten leading role* that season in
;he various plays of Mr. Walker's rep
ertory. Among them he created the lead
ing roles In all of the Lord Dunsany
play*.
It was during this engagement, to be
more specific, while Morris was appear
ing as the king in Lord Dunsany’s "The
Laughter of the Gods" that E. T.ynll

he had made a great discovery. But
when Mr. Gest later met Morris he recog
nized him as the young man who had
played Blue Blood for him three years
previous.
It was a singular coincidence that
David Belaseo, who gave young Morris
bis first chance, should assume charge
of the final rehearsals of "Aphrodite,” and
should conch McKay Morris in the biggest
role he has ever had.

"CLARENCE” IS STILL
A TRllMril FOR THE KELLYS.
After seeing “Clarence," a comedy by
Booth Tarkington, again last night at
English’s, the writer was more con
vinced than ever of the service done to
this comedy by Gregory Kelly and his
wife, Ruth Gordon. Their work does uot
seem like acting because !t is so real and
as far as Indianapolis audiences are .con
cerned the Kellys are of chief interest.
This in no way reflects on the work of
Robert Adams as Clarence. Florence Fair
ns Violet Pinney or Byron Beasley as
Mr. Wheeler, as ail are satisfactory.
Ornre Fliklrs :ast night seemed to make
so much n; .re of the role of Mrs. Wheeler
than she did when she was first here. In
