SELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS

Tuesday is Circus Day in Topeka
and the elephants. clowns, pink lem
onade, peanuts, etcetera, etcetera, will
be the program of the day. The Sells
F1oto shows. an original Topeka or
ganization, will give two perform
ances at the fair grounds, starting
early in the afternoon. preceded in
the morning by the usual parade. The
advance men this year claim that the
parade will show more free features
than any other appearing in the city
The Sells-F1oto management be-
heves that the wave of motor cars
and tractors, instead Of hurting, has
increased the public's interest in fine
horses and fine Craftsmanship. Car
rying out this idea, the showmen
have made their riding acts the best
on the program and are featuring a
wild west whirlwind riding act as the
finale instead of the usual chariot
race.
In addition to the equestrian con-
gress of riding stars, an aerial program
said to be unequaled is being shown.
Scores of acrobats in hair raising
stunts at the top of the canvas dome,
as we'll as in ground tumbling, take
part. There are three herds of acting
elephants as a big feature of the ami
NAL program and thru the entire per-
Torrance runs a medley of comedy by
the troupe of fifty clowns.

AT THE COZY

It's a Pickford picture. That in
itself should be enough to pack the
Cozy theater all week. "Suds" is the
title and Little Mary again has every
opportunity to show all she showed
in "Pollyanna." The picture is a
screen version of "Op o. Me Thumb
in which Maud Adams made such
success under direction of Charles
Frohman's theater in New York, the
Empire.
The story has to do with the af-
fairs of Amanda Afflick, a pug nosed
homely little slavey in a French laun-
dry in the slums of the English city.
Amanda is the most woebegone char
acter imaginable and as the other
girls in the laundry have their sweet
hearts, and no man has ever deigned
to notice the little slavey, she weaves
wonderful romance for her own
benefit and the benefit of the girls in
the laundry about the owner of
shirt which had been left to be washed
some months before the story opens.
The cast was especially selected by
Miss Pickford as being especially
adopted to the roles in which they
appear. The street scenes are laid in
the Sums of London in which locale
the story takes place and are exact
reproductions of certain quarters of
the big metropolis which were photo
graphed by the stars English repre-
sentatives and reproduced at her
studio in perfect detail.
Prominent in her support Is Nine.
Rose Dione, for a long time one of the
leading members of Sarah Bernhardt's
company in Paris. Mime. Dione is as
yet unable to speak fluent English,
which makes her especially suitable
for the role of the excitab1e French
proprietress of the laundry where
Mary, as Amanda Afflick, is the
slavey.
The principal 1ead-the possessor Of
the shirt upon which this story is
founded, is Albert Austin, an English
comedian of note, who for the past
four years has been prominent in all
of Charlie Chaplin's productions, and
was loaned by the world famous come
dian to Miss Pickford for this produc-
ton.
Since the completion of 'Pollyanna"
in the latter part of 1919. Miss Pick
ford has been at work with her staff
of assistants on 'Suds." over four
months were spent in the adaptation
of the story for the screen by several
of the best scenario writers in the
photoplay profession.
An example of the care which
Americas Sweetheart lavished on the
production of 'Suds'' is shown in the
fact that the entire country was ran
| sacked for the most woe-begone and
dilapidated looking horse obtainable to
pull the laundry delivery wagon
which is used in the story.

AT THE ORPHEUM

''Ponto," Bill Harris famous pinto
pony, has returned to the screen. The
return engagement is played in Sand"
which comes to the Orpheum for a
three-day engagement starting Mon
day. For a long time "Ponto" was an
important figure in Mr.. Harris films,
and so many and so varied were the
stunts he was called upon to perform,
that his screen star master believed
he had earned a rest and retired him
to green pastures where he waxed fat
and sassy" In the meantime, how
ever, the movies did not seem quite
the same to Hart, neither did Harris
pictures seem the same to the fans,
and many a letter was written asking
why "Ponto' was not on the screen.
When Hart saw that Sand" called
for a pet pony, he was delighted, and
lost no time bringing ''Ponto" out of
his luxurious pasture. The animal was
overjoyed at the chance, and, back
i again on the old lot he showed his
appreciation in the best way possible
His high spirits are plainly evident in
| the play. 1t is a story of love and ad-
venture in a small desert border town
| in the southwest. Mary Thurman is
the leading lady. The picture was
directed by Lambert Hillyer for the
| aramount-Artcraft people.

burn in THE Sins of st. Anthony"
and Larry Semon in a two-reel COM
edy. school Days" These two films
will be in addition to the regular
weekly showing of the Pathe weekly
News Review"
One cannot really appreciate THE
Sins of st. Anthony without seeing
the picture. In the story everyone
hands the laugh to Anthony Osgood
as played by Mr.. Washburn. AS a
handler of microscopes or in digging
the veneer off some forgotten Greek
poet. Anthony was a darb. but when
| it came to balancing a tea cup on
| his knee or dealing a hand of poker
well, Anthony wasn't there. But when
the worm turned all because of a
graceful dancer-why then Anthony
handed 1t all back to them. The film
is adapted from a story by Charles
Collins and put into shape for the
screen by Elmer Harris.

WANT HART FOR SHERIFF.
Hood River County. Oregon, Demo.
Gratis Nominate Star for Office.

Gratis Nominate Star for Office.
The popularity of William s. Hart
among film patrons was given strik-
ing evidence recently, when the DEM
ocrats of Hood River county, Oregon,
nominated him for sheriff.
Five Democrats wrote in the name
OF the Paramount star on their bal
lots, and late returns indicate that
Hart had received the nomination, as
no other Democrat was voted on.
Mr.. Hart was not at all hesitant
about stating that there was no doubt
in his mind but that he could dictate
the peace policy of Hood River county
with as much aplomb and justice from
his home in Los Angeles as he could
from the county seat up in Oregon.
Democratic leaders in Oregon are
quoted as saying that If Hart would
accept the nomination as sheriff the
Hood River voters would overwhelm
the opposition at election time.

California, all is in readiness for the
filming of "Kismet," SINNERS great

the foremost art directors in the film
