This high class ircuit is forging ahead everywhere. md the coming bill is regarded as me of the most popular but 'Pinched" has been chosen as the ipw comedy play by Whitney Collins, id the offering will be staged by our talented and capable actors. It is genuinely humorous story, with a al plot and every quality that a Irama demands. A versatile duo, Johnny Bell and Rosamond Caron open with a line of ometly chatter, then sing and dance, nd finally end up with a breath-, Liking acrobatic feat that is regarded s one of the best. "An Oddfellow"- is Harry Antrim, ho has justly earned his name by is quaint and exceedingly funny rap I fire line. He presents liieh-Dow- 'red comedy, and delivers it in an .imitable manner. A pony, instantly likeable, with a iman brain is Prince Leo. His ats of mental agility are almost imberless, and he can count, add, ibtract and even answer questions om the audience. A special setting carried for his act which enhances the bpfluty of the offering. EiRht Hundred Pounds of Har- iony" is offered by four singers from ie south. Harmony in all its dusky cbneus is their specialty, while their et is illuminated by their eccentric memg and strange, droll facial con tortions. An imitation of a calliope ricoly rounds out the excellent act Eaphael Babatini is now the great est writer for the movies in the coun try, for he has just been awarded $10,000 for turning out the best mov ing picture story in 1023. And it was Raphael Sabatinl who wrote "Captain Blood" which is coming to the Heilig Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and the author declares that this is the greatest and best of his plays! There is art action and merit in "Captain Blood." It is different from other films and contains a wealth of those features 'that have made the photoplay a chief factor in the world's amusement attractions. After witnessing a score of average film productions it is as refreshing as an oasis in the desert to see one of the calibre of "Captain Blood." From the first when Peter Blood is arrested and sent a slave to be sold at Barbadoes, to the final scene when, as Governor of the island, he wins the hand of Arabella Bishop, there Is not a dull moment. The slave market, the insurrection of the slaves, the attack on Georgetown, the capture of the A rubella by Blood and his fellow rebels-convict the encoun ter with the French fleet, duels be tween Blood and a pirate chief, and with a Spanish officer; the burning of a ship and the sinking of the Ara bella are a few of the spectacular hlehliehts In tha nrnrtnpHnn TIiab I follow each other in rapid succession. I The love interest is well handled, I the major thread being carried in j command able manner by J. Warren Kerrigan bb Peter Blood and Jean Paige as Arabella Bishop. Kerrigan : has a role different than any he had previously essayed in his long and varied career. Those who admire this versatile actor will surely enjoy his work in the production. Jean Paige has lost none of her charm and ability I during her brief absence from the screen. If anything, she has returned with more grtfee and charm. The minor love interest is carried by James Morrison and Charlotte Merriam. Morrison has a difficult rote which he handles amiably, and Charlotte Merriam indicates that she will soon be one of the shining lights of filmdom. Columns might be written com menting upon the work of such screen favorites as Wilfrid North, Templar Saxe, Allan Forrest, Bertram Grass by, Henry Hebert Otis Harlan, Otto Matiesen, Jack Curtis, Joseph Rick eon and a score of others. Each fits into the role with kid glove exactness, leaving nothing to be desired. The intense dramatic action is re lieved by patches of humor in se quences with Otis Harlan, Wilfrid North and Templar Saxe. These touches are capably handled by skill ed artists and enhance the entertain ing value of the picture 'a hundredfold. Anna Q. Nilsson ' Has Her Share of Stars Among Men Anna Q. Nilsson has five leading "n, including sevornl stars, in one ;'ne of "Inez From Uollywood," the ir.it National picture to be shown it the Rpi theater.

IS BEBE'S LATEST Her millions brought fine clothes, travel, adventure, excitement, ' but they played a sorry trick on love. . Thus Beba Daniels finds herself as Adele Clark in her new Paramount picture, "Dangerous Money," coming to the Castle theater next Friday to remain Friday and Saturday, with everything money can buy, every thing, that is, except love, for Tim Sullivan is only a hnrd working con tHnnHnv Anffinapp nnrl well, remem ber how you used to say to yourself, "Gee, but I wisn someone woura omy leave me a million dollars, then I'd be the happiest person going!" "Dangerous Money" is Bebe Dan iels' first Paramount starring pro duction. Tom Moore, as Tim Sulli van, has tho leading man's role op posite the Btnr. Willlnm Powell is the scheming Prince Arnolfo da Pes cia who weds the. beautiful Bebe through trickery. Mary Foy is Bebe's aunt, keeper of a boarding house where Adclo (Bebe), before she falls into the million thnt is, toils daily in the kitchen. Dolores Cassinrlli, Charles Slattery, Peter Lang an Ed ward O'Connor complete the cast. Russian Authors Play is Coming "He Who Gets Slapped," which is coming to the Heilig theater soon, is a screen version of a famous play by Leonid Andreyev, a Russian play wright. It was produced on the stage in 122 by the New York Theater Guild, an organization that thrives, but does not depend, on public pnt ronogo. With Richard Bennett as "He," and Mnrgalo Gillmore as Con suelo, the play made a great hit on Broadway, and was called one of the most brilliant plays of many sea sons, i It Comes TUESDAY For 4 Great Days!. Rafael Sabatini's Mighty Drama with J. WARREN KERRIGAN and cast of 5000 A Romance of the Spanish Main When Pirates Sailed the Seven Seas 1 Tfesfc 'Wanderer of Wasteland" Coming Speaking of screen thrills! There's one that ought to leave ft lifelong impression on everyone who sees it down at the Castle theater next Wednesday and Thursday. It's tho avalanche scene in the Zane Grey Paramount picture, "Wanderer of the Wasteland." Irvin Willat directed the production, which waa adapted from the novel of the same jiame by George C. Hull and Victor Irvin. It all cornea about when one of the characters in the picture, who lives with his wife alone in the desert, gets it Into bis head that their daugh ter Ruth, played by Billle Dove, who is teaching school in a far distant town, is not his daughter. In a fit of anger in the middle of the night he goes to the top of ft slope behind their shack and starts throwing boul ders down onto the shanty. The larger rocks carry smaller ones with them and start an avalanche that is a bear for realism. You've never seen anything quite like it before on the screen. As the 'madman Btands on the edge of tb,e cliff hurling over the rocks, his foot slips and he hurtles headlong down the precipice and la burled with the cabin under the mass. Jack Holt, In the role of Adam Larey, has witnessed the whole thing, powerless to do anything. He leaves the desert and looks up the unfortun ate pair's daughter and tells her everything and bat why go further, It would only be to spoil an evening of delightful entertainment for you. If you've read Zane Grey'a novel, you'll want to see the picture. But whether you've read the book or not, you'll go see tbe production any way, when wo tell you that the pic ture is done entirely In color. And when we aay entirely, we mean Juat that I. IS GDiVlfniO TD REX The scenic backgrounds and atmos phere for many of the big seta in "Dante's Inferno," which comes to the Hex theater soon, were Inspired by the weird, highly Imaginative Ilia- strstions of the poem made by Dor. So celebrated are the drawings that the most popular edition of "Inferno" and other two allegories which com- i pose Dante's "Divine Comedy" are known as the Dore edition, and cop- ; ies are much sought after. ' The picture is said to adhere very closely to the text of the poem where scenes in Inferno are shown. The spectacular effects of fire and smoke represent the comninen wors of Director Ilinry Otto and his staff as well as a largei corps of expert chemists and pyrotechnlcians. POLICE L08E. IDENTITY DUBLIN, Jan. IT. Ml The Dnb Un police force, famous for many years as Including bigger men than any other police fore In the world, la to be abolished under the police force amalgamation bin. The act merges tha police with tha civic guards organisation. Another excellent bill la promised Monday night by the Ackerman ami Harris circuit at the Heilig. and as an added attraction the hill will hnve two headline acts. The Venetian four, all talented musicians, will of fer a "Night in Venice," while the McLeods will present a dazzling dance skit The four Venetians present an ar tistic number. These sons of Italy are master musicians and offer ev erything from classical to popular numbers in a highly entertaining manner. They carry special scenery and dress In native garb. The Mcl.eods present what they term a family affair in black and white. They frolic about the stiure and entertain with Bongs, chatter and dances. "Tesrs of Jluddha" is featured by B. J. Moore, lie is billed aa a mas ter magician-comedian and is said to be unlike any other performer ap pearing before the public today. William Wolfe and Louise Ward are classed as a distinctive pair. They offer a skit called "Tea for Two and Then Some." They have created a favorable impression everywhere. Ella La Vail will open the show with her novel offering. She Is bill ed as a girl from the air and performs daring and thrilling feats. The picture offerings include Jim Aubrek in "Hcebe Jcebes," a novelty revue and an Aesop Fable. LSf' '4e -MTtit s&Wi E IS 101 Wallace Beery, the heroic King Richard I of "Robin Hood" and "Richard the Llon-Hearted," adds to his reputation for versatility by his portrayal of the role of the barge captain In "Another Man's Wife," coming to the Castle soon. Since he began his film career with Ks sanay, back in the pioneer days of the screen, he hss steadfastly climbed to a plnnscle of fame and today is re garded as one of the best character actors and "heavies" on the silver sheet Beery, who is six feet tall and weighs 200 pounds, assumes in "An other Man's Wife" the part of a rol licking liquor smuggler who has a bombastic belief in his own gentility. By turns, he is a careless roisterer and a scheming plotter. In fact, one might term him a guttersnipe turned roue, for be enacts the char acter of a "low brow" who thinks of aught else but women and whisky. Cinematic critics have declared Beery's new venture in the field of "heavy" roles is a triumphant suc cess for the actor. Besides Kirkwood and Miss Lee, other players who ap pear with Beery nre Matt Moore, Knte Trice, Donald MacDonald, Rus sell Powell, Chctor Conklin and Zcna Kecfa. v Colleen Moore to Play in "So Big" Colleen Moor has smashed ' more screen precendenta than any other actress in filmdom. Her latest smash Is in her new First Motional picture, "So Big," an adoption of the popular novel by Edna Ferber, which comes at the Rex Btartlng Thursday. Colleen's assumption of a new type, entirely foreign to anything she has yet done, la said by critics to etsabllsh her aa one of the mosf versatile stars on stag or screen. Wallace Beery, Phyllla Haver, Ford Sterling, John Bowers and other fav orites are In her supporting cast Tolanda' is Coming To Heiliff Theater "Tolanda," which comes to the Heilig soon, for beauty, massivencss, wlft dramatic action and romance of story, Is said to even excel Miss Dsvies' "Llttl Old New York" and "When Knighthood W In Flower." It Is a plcturlzatlon of Charles Ma jor's stirring romance woven around Princess Mary of Burgundy who mas querades as the burgher girl, Yolanda, and wins the love of Europe's most dashing prince. Robert Q. Vognola directed from the scenario by Luther Reed, and Joseph Urban designed the settings.

Hetty Comp- I on Is the star of the production I which Is an adaption of the Broadway j Rtnge success by Leon Gordon and : Dons Marquette. Warner Baxter, I Kockcliffe Fellowes, Charles Ogle I and Al St. John head the strong I supporting cast in featured roles. Hie story Is one of Dorothy, a very beautiful and refined young show girl, played by Miss Compson. She is fnncinated by the forceful per sonality of Phillip Flagg (Fellowes) who is backing the show in which she appears. She pays a visit to his palutial country home, "The Garden of Weeds," where he delights in en tertaining the beauties of the theater. Hero she discovers the man for what he is and leaves to marry Douglas Crawford (Baxter), an independent ly wealthy man of fine character. Flagg leaves her in peace for a while, then suddenly appears, cleverly manages to get an invitation to din ner and tortures her by veiled conver sation and broad references to her paBt which both think the husband does not understand. But the girl decides upon a bold course and, before the astonished Flagg can stop her, blurts out the whole truth to Crawford. The men fight and well, suffice it to say that there's a real "smash" climax In more than one sense of the word. With the only menace to their hap piness removed, Dorothy and hur hus band are free to live In peace "ever after." With each new picture it seems that Cruse has just about reached the peak of bis fame, when along comes another production to shatter all previous records. To say that "The Garden of Weeds" is one of his best is saying something. Xuical specialties and an elabor ate prolog will mark the return of Knbert V.
