SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13, 192S LILLIAN GSH STARS IN "ROMOLA" Kihn Version fj( the' famous Novel liy George Kliot Depicts , . lCxcitiny Life of the Florentines 1 k MMWlT? frftwftA II I HI 1 1 1 MW ltJMWW. Dorothy Ciish In "Romola." Shoeing at thtf HtlUe Theatre The mnn'le of Elecnura Duo j and of Sarah Bernhart has ""fallen ! tinnn Ihn fr-ill ehnlllilnr nf nn I .'American cirl. accord, ns to feuch disUnKUiJ'hed opinion as that of Joseph Herpeaheimer, of Georpe Jean Nathan. John , Barrymr. Pola NeKrl, Theodore Dreiser and J nines Kronen Cabell. And Lillian Oish wears the proud mantle with all of the Klrllsh a.mplicity and liveliness that have won all hearts. At once the most authentic, the smoat subtle and the most elusive. artist or our generation, she stands alone; the one supreme genius of the screen. Her appear ance at any theatre Is an event of supremo Importance, and the Hei- JiK takes pride in announc'ntr that ler newest picture. "Romola." said Ao be her finest effort, will be seen! , : here at the H elite Monday, Tues day and Wednesday. Romola' is "a film version of 'the famous novel by Georpe EUot ."which tells of the exciting life of the Kltren tines in . the days of 1 Savonarola. It was directed by Henry King. The film version of '"Lazybones," Owen Davis" Broadway success, t. starring Charles (Buck) Jones will come .tu the flelllg theatre Friday and Saturday. This story of simple American ptyi'le is told in a direct and wholly unpretentious manner, the characters ore portrayed by an all star cast Ideally suited to their parts, and the action Is filmed in a tvpical small town. Strangely enough, the principal character is Steve Tuttle, the lazi est man In town who has been -nown as "Lazybones ever since he was old enough to have a nick name. He Is a lovable chap in spite of his lack of energy. He is kind, generous to a fault and one who will do anything to help a friend In trouble, regardless of whether It is destined to hurt his own Interests or not. - Christmas Is to be celebrated In the Yuletide style at the Heilig. for "The Ancient Mariner." the great fox picture especially made for this occasion, will be offered. "The Ancient Mariner," a fantasy found ed on the familiar tale, is heralded as one of the outstanding cinema dramas of the year, and the Heilig was enabled to ger it as a Christ mas attraction only by applying for rights on it last summer, before fl'ming was completed. Moroni Olsen Talks Head of Repertory Company Says He Just Vibrated Into ' Theatre Business After Leav ing College. Br o.w. m.' V ' If Moroni Olsen's memory 'serves him with absolute correctness, he first became aware of Byron .Koulger and Miss Janet Young, ; both of whom ore now members ot l"his refertory company, at the Cornlch school in Seattle, where they were all working under the Maurice Browns. ; The Cornish school incidentally, la one 'of those delightful placeB in the Northwest "where young students of dramatics tro to perfect their work, learn dancing, become generally profi cient and prepare to go out into the world, east or west, and con quer it If they can. Mr. Olsen chatted along about , . .his work, sitting easily in his theatre dressing room with make up part on apd part ol the lights glaring down on the most domestic looking of dressing gowns in which, lie was working. - , ;.. - The head of the 31 or on I Olsen players has been tampering with things dramatic since he was a lad of sixteen. having started his career Willi the good old "home-! . talent' productions which were so! familiar-at that time. Living In; Ogden, Utah, with hla parents, he attended school and college there, fetid was a student at the Univer sity of Utah until he went to Bos ton to study dramatic reading at the Leland Powers school of the v spoken word. t f urates into Theatre '"Then," wild Mr. Olsen with a 'smile.' ''I Just naturally vibrated into thin theatre business as I knew i:l would. I like it." - The present company was or ganized in 1922, and consisted of nil but throe of the present mem 'bers, no that the players are as n home together and as inert to one another as ;onc !;. family. x. They are playing. In five , North , western suites, with a total of Vforty-flvo towi?aand cities on their t;enllfng lint, and chances to enlarge the scope of work done-each year. 3t Is Mr. Olsen's plan however to onlnrgo their schedule but very little more, since he prefers the personal contact nnd interest 'which come only from repeated WfnitB to each . community. His Ideal Is to via t each city at least ;twloo each reason. " s An idiosyncrasy of his Is' that he doesn't lilto stars, In (he usual moaning of the word, and never , Wives load'ng rnles to his plays merely becnuoo they are stars. Nor does he refuse to. So thoro you nro 1 ko our friend the 1'urltan governor, those who don't work can't eat, and the man who works ' in the man who gets the Job with the oivrn p'ayers.

Mr. Olsen's "Judgment on the little theatre 1 work on tho coast has been .thoroughly vindicated by the re ' Kpor.se given to it here. The en- tire company feels most gratified j over its success and the warm re ; ceptlon accorded the productions, i Mr. Oi?en Is keenly interested , in athletics of all kinds and played toot nan at i tan lor a year or two. To this day he follows the ath letic activities of his alma mater, and is as interested as a college freshpian. He is a member of Sigma Chl, and enjoyes visiting the chapters, active and alumni, whenever he is near them. Members of the company reached Eugene from Roseburg Friday morning and spent much of tho afternoon doing their Christmas shopping in various of the small gift shops about the city. Mfsa Young. Mies Adams and Miss Thatcher were most interested in various Japanese wares which they found displayed conveniently, and were purchasing busily. . Kugene folk are especially In terested In Miss Young, since she Is a graduate of the university with the class of 1914, and has gone into various departments of dramatic activity since that time. 1 Out of Town Society At SpHn-ffloId . fRritUter I.nne County Special) SPKINGFIKLD.
