SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1923 ‘ALICE ADAMS' TR’JEIOBOOK Tarkington’s Admirers Won’t Be Disappoint ed in Film Play. •'lf stories written by Justly fa mous and successful authors are suitable and worth while for screen production.** declares Miss Florence Vidor, “they should be visualized on tho screen as a faithful reproduc tion of the writer's creation, or not at all.” It was while discussing the man ner in which she intended to trans late on the screen Booth Tarklng ton’s prize-winning novel. “Alice Adams," that Miss Vidor stated her very sane views on the subject of screen adaptations of stories already cither famous as novels or dramas. “There is no greater disappoint ment," continues Mies Vidor, “for true book and screen lovers than to recognize in a motion picture only the title of their favorite story. And It is equally unjust to the patrons of the theater who hope sometimes against hope, to see their favorite stories correctly interpreted, their beloved characters realistically portrayed. Alice Adams will bs Booth Tarkington's Alice Adams. This Is the policy by which I shall succeed or fail." Miss Vidor and her truthful trans lation of Booth Tarkington's “Alice Adams" will grace the screen of the Rla.<o theater next Thursday. "Alice Adams" is an Encore Picture released by Associated Exhibitors. “ETERNAL THREE” FILW BY MARSHALL NEILAN HIS GRIPPING PLOT Marshall Neilan wrote himself a great film story when he set the plot of “The Eternal Three" down on paper. It is his second picture for Goldwyn and when screened nt the America theater yesterday gripped and held the audience as they are seldom held by a motion picture. It is the author-director's tribute to the physicians and sur geons of the world, showing how they must free themselves from pri vate feelings in the practice of their profession. The story concerns a famous sur geon. Dr. Walters, whose young wife becomes too much interested in her husband's fascinating but grace less foster son. Leonard. She agrees to elope with him, but the boy is Injured and only a brain operation can save him. Tho surgeon has learned of tho affair bptween Leonard and his wife. He can free all three* from the horns of the dilemma upon which they are im paled by giving an imperceptible twist to tho knifo which he wields in the operation. You must see the picture for yourself and find out what he did and how he won back his happiness. There are thrills in the film, and comedy and excellent acting. Ono of the famous "Midkey’s” best achievements. Goldwyn gave Neilan an admir able cast —Hobart Bosworth, Claire Windsor, Raymond Griffith, Bessie l>ove, Tom Gallery. George Cooper, Aleo Francis, William Norris, Helen Lynch, Victory Bateman, Peaches Jackson and others. The photog raphy Is clear and some of the shots are tho most beautiful caught by tho camera. Members of the cast were taken to Mexico City and to a ranch near Chapultepec for impor tant scenes and there are unusual mountain and snow scenes filmed in Bryce Canyon, Utah, “The Eternal Three" is Neilan at his best. Don’t miss it. ‘WMIiIOEW OFFERING TODAY IT THEATER "Adam and Eve" is the new show which Billio Ireland’s Follies of ’ 1928 will present at the Columbia theater this afternoon. Going back to days when Adam was the only man nnd Eve was the | only giri in the world, man had little chance to boa sheik, and shebas were unknown. “No one to be jealous of and nothing to do until tomorrow,” was Adam’s motto. He had not a worry nor a care until Eve tempted him with the forbidden fruit Adam ate the apple, and man has been all apple sauce ever since. However this play is not that far back in history'. A certain lady doctor conceives the Idea that a sanitarium using the methods they did in the days of Adam and Eve would benefit mankind. She adver tises for patients and is overrun with plenty of Eves, but they are alt trying to find a perfect man, an Adam. Bud Brownie and Lew Newman appear on the «scene and pose us Adam, and the many complications and situations that arise during the action of this show make it one of the most novel and entertaining that Mr. Ireland has given his audiences. One of the features of the show is the real rainstorm at the end of the Follies ballet in a Hoffman Spring dance. Brennen and Turner appear in a nifty dancing specialty. Bud Brownie in song, and Murray and Murray in a sister act. Mrs. Bud Brownie, Celestine O’Neil and Billie Wilson also give specialties. “OTHERS” , ! “ILjtj I n r i if AMERICA i’KOGKAM Today and Monday—" The Eternal Three." with Hobart Boswor h.
