THERE has been areat deal of discussion in literary circles as to the 10 books one would choose to take with him to a desert isle.

So far nobody has made a list of the 10 girls he would take with him to a desert Isle. The girl who plays in "With This Ring" (we forget her name) ought to be one of the 10. The picture, showing at Kings and Rivoli this week, deals with a hackneyed situation, but is absorbing for all that. A man and a girl are cast away on the isle, and after marrying without bsneflt of clergy are separated through an absurd mistake. She thinks he has been killed and without taking two steps toward where hs lies, only wounded, leaves the Island with a boat of pearl fishers.

They are reunited, finally, but the suspence is terrific. Kings and Rivoli also show a re-issue of Harold Lloyd's "I Do." which is one of his funniest. viewer could see of it (there waj such a crowd Safnrday night), the specialty did fitting honor to the occasion. For Charity' Sake. FATHER SPIGARDI has become a movie exhibitor for the week, hoping from the proceeds of "A Woman's Faith" to buy echool books for his Italian wards.

The picture which is shown at the St. Louis University auditorium' Is a good and wholesome story of the regeneration of a man by a woman's almost saintly trust, and features Percy Marmont and Alma Rubens. Sweet Betty Bronson. EVER since Betty Bronson acted In "Peter Pan" It was Inevitable that the next picture would be one by Barrie. or at least Barrlesque.

The whimsical Scot, not having anything on hand, perhaps, a movie scenartst made a try at being whimsical. The result la "The Golden Princess." at the Del-monte, and while not bo darned whimsical, audiences will like it. The story deals with the California gold rush and Betty is a poor little girl whose father gQts killed and whose mother rus away with the man who killed him. Neil Hamilton, a young man from Tennessee, takes care of her. Betty Korean is related in a toucn- amusins little opus am.

the poor woman wrings her hands and oodles of tears are shed when Colleen, comes home to marry a nice, old-fashioned young man. The picture is distinguished, however, for two things. It has the first seduction scene ever staged in the cabin of a dirigible. Colleen not only escapes from the villian, but her life, too. Is saved when the airship crashes gently to earth, having collided with an airplane.

Israel Zangwlll wrote the novel from which "We Moderns" was taken. Buster Out West THE tenderfoot on a ranch is the none too fresh theme which Buster Keaton selected for his latest picture, "Go West," on view at Loew's State. However, he manages to Introduce several new gags and. with the help of a Jersey cow, puts across a fairly amusing feature comedy. Bustar and the cow make an excellent team, one having about as much expression as the other.

The high point In hilarity comes when Buster, dressed as a devil with horns, pilots a drove of steers through the city. According to the subtitle man, the steers thought Buster was a rival. After many mishaps, the IT is high time for the movies to put out the fire under flaming yotrth. The phrase "flaming youth" was never a very good one, anyway, and it has tempted movie directors into setting calcium flares and portraying adolescents as scarlet women and rounders who spout decaient philosophy to excuse their conduct. There have been a great many pictures of this sort, and "We Moderns," at the Grand Central.

West End Lyric and Capitol, is only another. It indicts two English parents for failing to understand their children (as If youth and age could ever have the same viewpoint) and indicts the children for a series of grown-up escapades far past the imaginations of flappers and heir boy friends. Some day the observer hopes to see a movie about youngsters who are devilish, not because their parents fail to ympthaslze with them, but merely because youngsters are devilish. When taxed with their shortcomings these children will not quote Oscar Wilde. Baudelaire.

It only remains to be said that Glorious Gloria should have stuck to her emotions. Not that "Stage Struck" at the Missouri is such a bad picture. Indeed, it manages to be rather amusing throughout.

But the role of a stage-struck waitress who lovos a batter-cake man is too short An order for Miss Swanson. Her best moments come at the start, some rarely beautiful and almost perfect color work presents her as the actress the restaurant biscuit slinger hopes to become. After that the part degenerates into clownish comedy which Louise Fazenda, who no doubt has yearnings to be a tragedian, would have done much better than Gloria. Nevertheless, it is a g-ood story, and enjoyable. The Jaa revue celebrating the inaugural of the Skouras Brothers' management is pretentious.

Nov.

23. John Stewart Barney of New York and Newport. It. an architect and painter, died yesterday. He was 57 years old.

Three weeks ago he underwent an operation and it was thought he was out of danger. Mr. Barney first became ill at White Sulphur Springs. W. about the middle of October.

He is survived by his widow, formerly Miss Mary Alice Van Nest: a daughter, Mrs. John Kean of New Yorw, and a son, J. Stewart Barney a Princeton undergraduate. He graduate from Columbia, 1S90, and studied architecture at the Ecole D'Arts in Paris.

Mr. Barney in 1915 began devoting his exclusive time to the painting of landscapes: some of his paintings receiving much favorable comment at special exhibitions. He was the author of two novels.
