"sherlock Holiness. FeaturinG John

A photoplay that is bound to be
sensation opened a weeks engage
ment at Moore's Rinlto Theater yes
terday. 1t is the Goldwyn picture,
Sherlock Holmes" starring John
barrymore. The name. Sherlock
Holmes, Is an open sesame to the
world OF mystery and adventure.
when 1t is coupled with that Of
John Barrymore the combination Is
one to conjure with. The photoplay
ran for three months in New Yoru.
Albert Parker directed the produc-
tion. making many OF the scenes in
London--some in Switzerland. Sup

The screen Sherlock Holmes" has
been fashioned upon the model OF
the stage version of Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle's stories by william
Gillette. In II the great detective
is made very human person strug-
Cling against the maDter mind of
London's criminal world for the
happiness-even the life-of the
woman he loves--a role in which
John Barrymore rises to histrionic
heights such as he has never At
tained heretofore in the cinema.
The rapid manner in which the
feeling of mystery, adventure, thrill
and suspt nse are created in the
mind of the spectator gives an at
mosphere of reality to the entire
show. Sherlock Holmes lives on
the screen even more ardently than
he lived in printed word or spoken
play.
Due to the great length OF the
major subject the program Of sub
sidiary features Is curtailed to some
extent. "A Syarland Review"
Topics OF the Day" and an exclu-
sive showing of the latest Fox News
prove most interesting. together
with an appropriate interpretative
orchestra score arranged by Direc-
tor George Wild.

Mae Murray in "Broadway Rose

beauty as her latest production.

broadway Rose" like Peacock
Alley and Fascination" were
written by Edmund GOulding and
directed by Robert Z. Leonard. and
it is not exaggerating t. say that in
broadway Rose" both Gouldine
and Leonard have brought to the
screen a play Of almost incredible
beauty and lavishness.
Miss Murray once again brings
her nowfamiliar characterization
of a Broadway dancer to the silver
sheet. The picture is rich with the
atmosphere Of Broadway, Fifth ave-
nue. and quiet country lanes. in
which thre locales il has its set
tings. 1t is. essentially. the story of
girl who. fancying herself on the
road to happiness, finds herself in
pursuit of a wil-o'- the wisp. though
happiness is eventually her portion.
which comes in a manner far from
the way she anticipated it would
come.
Miss Murray. in this production.

others. while the production has
