Barthelmess and Compson
in Adventures at Sea for
"Weary River"
Richard Barthelmess and his
lea-.Jjng lady. Betty Comp3on, have
had many cinematic adventures in
the last two pictures of the First
National star, "Scarlet Seas" and
"Weary River." the- latter draw
ing large crowds to the Elslnore
theatre.
For "Scarlet Seas," Barthelmess
and his leading woman lhred
aboard a windjammer otf the
coast of Catallna Island, spent
days in a lifeboat adrift at sea and
all manner of ocean-going experi
ences, but in "Weary River" they
returned to civilization with its
night life, cabarets', apartment
houses, prisons, etc.
In "Scarlet Seas" their charac
terizations were rugged and pic
turesque, in "Weary River" they
come closer to the average man
and woman, delineating more fa
miliar type3. The story is brim
ful of action and keeps moving
from start to finish. For the first
time Richard Barthelmess is heard
on the Vltaphone and the charac
ter he portrays both sings and
plays the piano.
The story of "Weary River" Is
from the original by Courtney Ry
ley Cooper and was adapted to the
4 i-creen by Bradley King. It was
directed by Frank Lloyd and con
tains a cast including George
Stone, Raymond Turner, William
Holden. Robert O'Connor and
Louis Natheaux.
On the stage Fanchon and Mar
co "Varieties" offer a variety of
high speed entertainment headed
by many well known artists,

Child Natural Without Any

Davey Lee is said to be the
greatest screen "find" In years.
and the Warner Brothers are con
gratulating themselves. The child
is natural, with none of the af
fectations of most theatre prodi
gies; he Is amusing and wii.ning;
lie acts, talks and sia.ss with a
most ingratiating charm and a re
freshing lack of caraera-consciolis-ness.
The lines Davey is given to say
are immaterial. When the young
ster puckers up his face and says
anything at all, from "Kin T de
pend on that?" fo his prayers and
then when he stands right up and
sings "Sonny Boy" in a manner
that one won't forget for a long
time, the audience is his forever.
Manager Frank Bligh of Bligu'j
Capitol announces that "Sonny
Boy" will open an Indefinite en-!
gatement starting today.
Other features on the bill are
four very wonderful Vitsp'tone
vaudeville acts, conssiting of Da

comedy act that is a riot.
As the feature act on the bill.
