DUSTIN FARNUM.

At the Davis Saturday. in "The Gentle
man from Indiana.
Dustin Farnum will appear at The DavisiSat-
urday in "The Gentleman from Indiana, a
film presentation of Booth Tarkington's best
loved and most popular work.
After leaving the university where he has
been one of the greatest football stars in years,
John Harkness dustin Farnun) plunges into
the thick of Indiana politics through purchas-
ing the Platville Herald and fearlessly smash
ing the corrupt political machine of Rodney
McCune.
While this in few words describes the gist
of the play, it by no means conveys to the
reader the wonderful photoplay that has been
built around Booth Tarkington's very human
story .!Pen and ink cannot describe the smooth
ness of action, the transition from scene to
scene as Mr.. Farnum lives, not acts, the pa rt
Of the character he is portraying.
Tc the man or woman who was born in a
small town the "Main street" of Platville
will seem like picture of the old homestead.
To the city born it will bring view of what
country town really looks like. And the
characters are the everyday persons one
meets in town of this kind. The local polit-
ical "boss''; the university professor, who
had fallen from grace by his love for liquor,
reforms when offered helping hand; the
leader of the "Whitecaps" and his crew of
rutfians; the girl who has been adopted by
her aunt in the city, all are true to life.
For those who like q strong love story of
real man and real woman will not be. disap-
pointed. Every human element is offered.
And last, but not least, special music has
been written and adapted for this production;
music that is suited to every foot of the film.
You will enjoy it from beginning to end.
