Arthur Star in Community Houae Picture; "My Best Girl" on Friday Holt in Teatro del Lago Film Saturday Jack Holt and . Bac~anova, .. the talented Russian actress, gtve a sptnted and convincing performance in the new Zane Grey picture "Avalanche," which is to be shown at the Teatro del Lago this Saturday, November 17. Baclanova, in the strange Western setting, displays the . versatility of the talent which brought her fame in the Emil Jannings picture, "The Street of Sin," and in the recent George Bancroft masterpiece, "The Docks of N e~ York." The theme of this Zane Grey story centers around the affection o.f two men for each other and the romantic problem which threatens to estrange them. Bmie Dove has what many will regard as the most dramatic role of her starring career in "The Night Watch," this Sunday's attruction at the Teatro del Lago. She plays the wife of a naval' officer who is falsely implicated in a murder which can be cleared up only by her testimony-testimony that will cast a shadow upon her own honor. Miss Dove displays unusual dramatic qualities, and at the same time maintains a fine restraint in her characterization. Donald Reed and Paul L.ukas, in the leading masculine roles, have parts of practically equal importance, ·and their contrasting personalities add · greatly to the story's power. "Tenipeat" Ia Great Picture "Tempest," the John Barrymore scree n masterpiece that New York acclaimed during a long run at two dollar prices, will bring one of America's most distinguished actors to the Teatro del Lago next Monday and Tuesday in a romance of Russia's revolution, Camilla Horn and Louis Wolheim appearing in chief support of the star . The New York World thought "Tempest" the "finest, most genuine motion picture John Barrymore ever made," while the New York Times called Barrymore's picture "a masterpiece . . . . . excellent entertainment." The highlights of "Tempest" are scenes of passionate fury between a princess of the blood and a peasant, between royalists and revolutioni sts, between generals and peddlers; and love scenes so convincing that the New York Telegram calls the picture "the answer to the modern mO\·ie maiden's prayer." "King of Kings" will be shown at the Teatro del Lago for three days next week-WednesdayJ Thursday and Friday. The picture is said to be one of the . most stupendous ever produced. It is of the "Ben Hur" type, and had long and successful runs · in New York ·and other cities before it was released at popular prices. Anita Fremault, a ten year old girl, has been signed to play opposite Dorothy Sebastian in "The Spirit of Youth," suggested by the Booth Tarkington story, "Ramsey Milholland."

Arthur will be seen at the Community House next Tuesday, November 20, in "Detectives," a straight mystery story with all the thrills of the crook drama at its best. The comedy is introduced ~hen Dane and Arthur, as a "hick" house detective and a bellboy who aspires to be a second Sherlock Holmes, blunder 'nn0cently into one tense situation after another. They get into secret chambers where weird enemies assail them; Dane dod~es knives hurled at his head _ a nd hides in a mummy case that once housed an ancient Egyptian king; Arthur impersonates a woman and gets the stolen jewels, and finally wins the girl after a series of hilarious adventures. Marceline Day is the girl in the case. Mary Pickford's recent production, "My Best Girl," wiii be shown at the Community House next Friday, Novemb~r 23, The theme of the picture is a pleasing variation of the ever-popular "Cinderella" type, with Miss, Pickford in the role of a stock girl in the ·b asement of the great "five and dime" establishment, and the leading man, Charles Rogers, as the son of the millionaire owner. Kathleen Norris, the noted novelist, h_ as introduced an unusual degree ~f heart interest and appeal into the story. The realism of the mammoth 5-and-10 cent store and of the huge street scenes is no small factor in maintaining the atmospheric quality of the picture.
