"Penrod" With Wesley
Barry Opens at Spencer
Square Theatre Today

For years the synics have de-
clared that Booth Tarkington's in
imitable characters of American
boyhood, involved in his Penrod
stories. could never be successfully
brought To the screen in one com
plete feature picture. They point
ed out the impossibility of getting
the Juvenile actors that the story
called for, the lack of connected
sequence between the episodes and
the absence of counter action to
make story of dramatic value for
the screen.
Despite their protests it has been
done. for "Penrod", produced by
Marshall Nielan, which opens a
fiye-day run at the Spencer Square
today, is one of the most genuinely
human, appealing and interesting
pictures, that has ever been seen.
The director has taken Booth Tark-
lngton characters and given them
"A Hfe-like Interpretation, breathing
tthe very essence of youthful ras-
caiity and ROBUSTNESS. He has
taken the separated episodes of
Penrod's existence and moulded
Them into one coherent story. He
has preserved for the screen the
one story that should never be al
lowed to disappear-the epic of
american boyhood. It is a revel in
humor-one which every one will
enjoy. II the picture lacks villains
and counter action it is only be-
cause it deals with Juveniles and
so is far more salutary and enter
tanning than a great deal of the
dramatic material of these DAYS.

Mary Pickford Takes

For several years Miss Pickford

Since the completion of Polly

Miss Pickford has been at work

spent in the adaptation of the story
for the screen by several of the
best scenario writer's in the photo
play profession, and this versatile
little star went over the entire
story again and again, word for

Norma Talmadge Has
Her Most Elaborate
Picture at Capitol

The Capitol theatre offers Norma
TaImadge In the most elaborate
photoplay Of her career, beginning
tomorrow and continuing for one
week. "Smiiin' Through. First
National attraction, has even won
editorial comment in some of the
biggest newspapers in the country.
In connection with the coming
of this big photoplay to the Capitol
Manager John +. Loveredge an
nounces that Walter g. Steely,
recently of the Cort theatre
in Chicago, and also late OF the
strand theatre in Milwaukee,, will
be the organist at the Capitol. In
connection with the musical pro-
gram OF the theatre the orchestra
has been augmented to include 20
musicians under the direction OF
Albert Peterson. conductor, and
special setting has been arranged
for the picture.
With the public now out shop
ping for its screen entertainment
and willing to accept only the best,
progressive improvement in the
film industry is being made and
the outlook is very promising, ac-
cording to Norma Talmadge. who
points to the recent organization of
the Independent Screen Artists
guild in California as one of the
most significant developments of
cinema history.
Miss Talmadge is one of the
founders of the guild, the announc-
ok M @f hi fn hA hi tCrn-
ment of direct relations between
the studios and the theatres of the
country, with the idea of cutting
fniddleman costs and thereby max
ing it possible for producers to put
money into better pictures.
Among the most pretentious of
Guild productions is Norma Tai
madge's "Smilin' Through, the
First National attraction directed
by Sidney Franklin and coming TO
the Capitol theatre on Sunday.
Beyond the slightest shadow of
doubt the public have indicated very
plainly that they are interested
solely in good pictures" Miss Tai
madge says. Taste has improved
to such a degree that the poor pic
ture doesn't stand the slightest
chance. The public, in fact, is sick
and tired of cheap pictures.
THE organization of the indie
pendent Screen Artists Guild prom
ises much for the future. Bigger
things are assuredly in store for
the photoplay patron. My own in
itial contribution to the Guild pro-
gram is 'Smilin' Through, the most
costly and elaborate picture l have
yet made. And my next picture
will be filmed on just as big a
scale. Other Guild members also
have very ambitious plans
I'm the future, pictures must be
big in theme and treatment-not
necessarily of great length, you
understandable big in the power
to hold and the talent with which
the material is used"
"Smilin' Through" Norma's in
