That’s true in real life. No mat- ter how low a. man has sunk, if he has courage, ambition and n genu'l.e desire to succeed. he can fight his way back to the top. The "tad man“ can become a hero. the criminal can reform. and folks very often are ready and willing to lend a helping hand. ‘ But in the mmies—in reel life. once a. villain. always a villain. High resolves. noble endeavors. a sincere desire to “reform" are valueless in the face of public Opinion which iii- sisis that its screen villains remain "bail." All of which, dear reader. is de- sianed to arouse your sympathy and cause you to shed a few tears for Sheldon Lewis. one of sorcendom's finest actors and a villain par excel- lence. Mr. Lewis won international fame as a cinema bad man and then spent several years trying to make the public forget him in that type of character. Movie fans of a decade ago will recall Lewis as the arch villain of the serials, "The iron Cluw” and “The clutching Hand." With these serials at the height of their popul- arity. he found the public wouldn't let hitu play any other type of part. .IIc rcinrnt-tl to the speaking stage. hoping that the mmle fans would lurgi'i. \‘aln hope! The public did not forget and the ideas of picture producers rtvgarding his forte rc- lllillilt‘d unchanged. SO it isn't surprising to find Lewis portraying; a, \lllainous role in Porn- mouni's latrst melodramatic thrill- cr.

James Kirkwood and Raymond liatton. "The Top of the World." is hook- ed for 3 day showing at tho Pulnco theatre commencing Thursday. lUXURiOUS SETS iN PICTURE TO PLAY AT REGENT Latest in Gowns Dis- played B y French Star in N ew-Leonard Photopiay Robert Z. Leonard is famous for his lavish. luxurious settings, and the brilliant social whirl into which he places his pictures. With Mao Murray. whom he has directed in recent successes. the expected thing is that she will be gowncd at the hcight of fashion. But Miss Mur- ray was busy playing the “Merry Widow" for Erich von Strolieim when Mr. Leonard started to make i‘Cheupcr to Marry." his latest production for Metro-Goldwyn— Mayer. So Paulette Duval. who won wido acclaim as Madame do Pompadour in Valentino‘s "Monsieur Beau- calre.” was selected for the vamp- ing role of this film version of Sam- uel Shipman's famous stage. play. And a new Paulette is shown to motion picture fans for tnhe first time in "Cheaper to Marry." The former French dancing beauty of Zcigfeld's “Follies" demonstrates that she can do more than play a character load. In this picture Miss Duval Is a radiantly lmely girl. made bitter because the man silo loves is too cynical to marry her. preferring to defy conventions in his contempt for matrimony. In the orgy of ex- travagance started by Paulette. gowns and jewels costing tens of thousands of dollars are worn. Ex- treme fashions of the present day in street. boudoir and evening attire and furs were made expressly for the new star by tho costumlng de- partment of the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayor studio. Miss Duval also wears some of her own Paris cre- ations, which are certain to stamp her as one of the screen‘s best dressed women. W‘lth Miss Duval in' this picture are Lewis S. Stone. Conrad Nagel. Marguerite do is Motte. Louise Fszends. Claude Gilllngwster and Richard Wayne.

Hutchinson Always Sorry When He Finishes Book—A Has Fine Personality "The Clean Heart." or "The Cruel. ties of Life," which will be shown at the Regent Theater for the last times today. is based on the novel by A. S. M. Hutchinson. the English author. In writing recently of how an author feels for the characters he creates, Mr. Hutchinson said: “The odd thing is the way I ac- tually feel sorry when the immense task of develtlping a novel is through. I have Often thought it. was mere affectation of authors to declare that they were quite moved when obliged to part with their characters and send them out into the world. But I have found it is a fact. One can't. I suppose. live with characters for years. school them. scold them. be patient with them, love them. without their get- ling pretty close to the heart. Any- way. i found myself genuinely dia- turhod when it was good-bye. good- bye to Wriford. dear old Puddlebox and jovial little Essie in ‘The Clean limirt.’ I loved them one and all." iln had thought over the theme of “The Clean licart" for yenrg. longed to tackle it; but completed two other novels before he started it. lie always thought it would “be I'l‘——’l‘iiE book." lie took two years to write the story. In the fall of 1101:: he thought he had evolved the llnal plan of the book. but five months later he had revised the plan to a drastic extent. “The Clean lienrt" brought him tributes of a kind which no other of his novels has evoked. 110 has a. natural aptiv tndc for humor and perhaps the outstanding characteristic is his gt‘llllis for friendship. And the natu- ral counterpart of that is that he hungers for friendship in return. It is this personality that he injects into his stories and that is the secret of their appeal. Percy Marmont is cast as Wri- tord. Otis Harlan as Puddlebox. and Marguerite de la Motte as Essie. THIS PICTURE SPARKLES WITH BROADWAY LIFE Rialto Photoplay to Be Shown Today -— HIS Supreme M O m e n 1: Tomorrow Few pictures that have told of Broadway. the playground of the world have achieved the note of scintillant color that is the out- standing characteristic of “A Broad- way Butterfly." which will be shown for the last. time today at the Rial- to theatre. "liis Supreme Moment." which will play the Rialto theatre for three days teginning tomorrow is a romantic and stirring love story adapted from a. new novel by May lctllngton.

Just as he is doing with "Not So Long Ago." which we think will even surpass his earlier achievement in merit and in quaintness and color. We think that you will like this picture when it comes to your favor- ite theatre. And we think it will ap- peal to you as it did to us. because it is different. and is clean ' and wholesome. It is a movie for the family. for the grown-up boys and girls of yesterday. and the growing- up boys and girls of tomorrow. tr DISCOVERED .
