J. Dapelreiff7ess "THE ENCHANTED ISLAND" FEATURE FOR NEXT SATURDAY WITH WALTHALL FEATURED IN CAST; UNUSUAL STORY RICHARD BARTHELMESS SCORES IN "PATENT LEATHER KID" HERE FOR TWO DAYS SHOWING DURING WEEK RESIN 1ERE FOR 1URING WEEK Playing a Russian woman is different from any task that Greta Garbo, famous Swedish screen beauty, has ever attempted, according to Anna Karenina in "Love," spectacular story or Russia coming to the Academy May 1-2. In the story, a filmization of Tollstoi's "Anna Karenina," Miss Garbo plays an aristocratic woman of Russia who sacrifices her all for love in an astounding dramatic plot. The Russian woman," says Miss Garbo, "is a different character to play from any other type. The women of Russia before the revolution were the most cultured in the world, with a Code- of ethics strikingly different from any other.

Most of them were very graceful, and there was a certain romantic something that clung to them that is extremely hard to catch and echo on stage or screen. Despite the condition of the peasantry culture flourished in Russia, and the Russian woman was an important factor in Its development." John Gilbert and Miss Garbo play the two principal role'g in the new production, a spectacular romance of Russia before the revolution, with gay uniforms, brilliant costumes and lavish settings as a background for the poignant Tolstoi romance. George Fawcett, Brandon Hurst, Philippe De Lacy, Emily Fitzroy and others of note are in the big cast of the new picture. laying a ussian ma is dif- that reta ferent from any tasI hem Clarbo, famous Swedish scieen has ever attempted, according to ty, Anna Karenina in "Love," spectaeu- Jar story or Russia coming to the cade Amy May 1-2 In the stor, a filmization of Tel- stoi's "Anna Karenina, Miss Gar- bo plays an aristocratic woman of 11 I 1 '034 1 44P-vo '35 ,1 -5 it t61, I not last led to be-, les or int of imber, 1 the, reday, 1gram lhoun leso int of be th aday gram med Ihoun 1 Edmund Lowe, who plays the featured role in Films adaptation of "One locreasing Purpose," the novel by A. S.

M. Hutchinson, thoroughly enjoyed his "location" in England, where the exteriors of the picture, at the Academy Monday, were made. As Simon Paris. who, on his return from the war. goes on tour of all the old familiar places in London and the neighboring country, Mr.

Lowe was right in his element, for English history has been a hobby of his ever since his hich school days. Lie needed no guide-book to tell the history of Trafalgar Square, where the huge stone lions stand guard at the base of Nelson Mannment. He knew the most interesting sidelights on Picadilly Circus, the Old Curiosity Shop, Rotten Row, Devonshire Street and Theobald's Row. He was up on the history back of the construction of the Houses of Parliament, and the history surrounding Westminster Bridge, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral.

the Tower of London. the Bank of EnglandOxford, Canterbury. Windsor, Eaton and Maidenhead, all of which appear in the picture. And in spite of the fact that the history of the origin of the "Tub Thumpers" at the Marble Arch is somewhat vague, Mr. Lowe remembered stories gleaned during his law courses at college of the political influence they had wielded in the history of England.

In fact. to quote Lila Lee, who was also in England with the company, they didn't need a guide while 'Eddie" was alongand his enthusiasm over London and the various well-known historical places knew no bounds. In the country while on location he took great delight in searching out the old inns and going into their history. Whenever he was to the company it was almost certain that some place of historic note was in the vicinity. "One Increasing Purpose" is the story of a man, who returning from France after many miraculous escapes in the Great War, sets out to discover the reason why he has been apa'red.

Besides Mr. Lowe and Miss Lee, the cast includes May Alison, Holmes Herbert, Jane Novak, Huntley Gordon, Lawford Davidson, Frank Elliott, Emlyv Fitzroy, George Irving and others. q.v.?, 4.,. --i. -oz i-- 4r 4 i ilor 1,.

A famous Pacific Coast sports writer witnessed the thrilling prize fight sequence's between Richard Barthelmess and a professional Pugilist in The Patent Leather Kid," the super-special picture showing at the Academy Tuesday and Wednesday.

and the following was the result: "The Patent Leather Kid kept a social date with the Jersey Skeeter last night at the American Legion stadurn and they parted rather suddenly in the fourth round. The Kid, with an expression that made the sphinx look animated, started off the soiree with a thuderstorm followed by a battery of machine guns which left the open-faced Skeeter wondering whether he was engaged in fisticuffs with an army or a sleek-haired city feller. The Jersey insect seemed to dive right into every hook and jab delivered by the Kid who played hide and seek for four abreviated rounds and then something happened that was not in the otity 'thy fistic encyclopoedia." Then the sporting egyptologist goes on to describe the surprise handed the Patent Leather Kid-- the culmination of what critics declare the greatest prize fight In the history of the screen. The Patent Leather Kid" Is the story of acynical pugilist, the biggest drawing card of his day because everybody wanted to see him knocked out. He derived his name from the type of leather he affected and the sleekness of his hair.

The World War breaks out and the Kid is dragged in by draft against his will. His change of philosophy, the regeneration of his oul, this is the denouement of the story, the war sequences done in an epic manner and relating to the tank corps. Molly O'Day, a sensational screen find plays opposite Richard Barthelmess. The balance of the cast includes Arthur Stone as the Kid's trainer and pal, Jimmy Kinchf Matthew Betz as his business manager, Raymond Turner as Molasses, Lawford Davidson as Lieut. Breent and many others.

According to the remarks of the audience there is no doubt that the unusual story as was unfolded yesterday made an instantaneous hit. There are some great dramatic moments including some encounters between two men that for realism had the spectators on the edges of their seats, and with a crashing dramatic climax of volcano in eruption destroying everything in its path.

To add to the drama of the picture an entire zoo of animals must have been used to carry out the highlights of this most unusual picture play. In brief the picture tells of a man and his daughter who have been shipwrecked along with an animal circus and are living alone on the island in the Pacific. The only playmates the. girl knows are the animals. For many years the father and daughter have lived an ideal existence until during her eighteenth birthday three men are washed ashore from a boat wrel'ted on the island reefs.

From that time begins the battle of the father to protect his daughter from a brutish seafaring man, while the girl loses her heart to the handsome young castaway who is ir the party. The terrific struggle of the stronger man for the girl and the ba Ole waged by the young man and the girl are the dramatic highlights of the story. How the stronger of the two meets his just deserts is one of the dramatic climaxes of the picture. The cast is excellent in all their portrayals and special mention should be accorded to Charlotte Stevens, Pierre Cendron, Henry B. Walthall, Pat Hartigan and Floyd Shackleford for their -work In their respective roles.

The picture was ably directed by Wm. G. Crosby from the story by John Thomas I have ever seen. To describe them properly is impossible. Huge buildings rise miles into the air; there are streets on all levels for all kinds of traffic: the machines underground are as as our Public Library.

One scene is particularly impressive. The master machine of the city is let run loose during the revolt. Powerful electric discharges, flash back and forth, until the machine is destroyedto the glee of the prancing mob.

Walthall In The "Enchanted Island" --rmcnantea mann Tips on spring styles will be seen with the coming of Norma Shearer's new motion picture, "The Latest from Paris," her latest starring vehicle which will be shown on the screen of the Academy Friday. In her newest screen production Miss Shearer portrays the role of a 'traveling saleswoman for a firm of New York wholesalers of suits, coats and gowns. In order to have correct spring styles, advance models of which have not yet been released to the public, the studio made arrangements with makers of women's wear to furnish the studio with a large variety-of designs Included in their list of spring modes. Because these had not been made up by the factories at the time the picture was made, the designs were sent to the huge Metro-GoldwynMayer wardrobe department where more than a hundred tailors and seamstresses worked for weeks executing them. The result was that Miss Shearer had them in her picture long before they had been made up in New York and turned over to the wholesalers to be released for the spring trade.

The models cover practically all types of gowns, as well as new styles in tailored effects. "In "The Latest from Paris," Ralph Forbes will be seen in the leading male romantic role. Forbes has atttracted more attention during the last year than any new-corners among the mahl actors of the screen. From his start in "Beau Geste" he has appeared in "Mr. Wu," "The Trail of '98," "The "Under the Black Eagle," and other big feature films.

Bert Roach, star of 'Excuse Me," and one of the featured players of "Mixed Marriages" and other films, will be seen as the inebriated drummer who supplies much of the comedy of Miss Shearers new production.
