Placing a rouehneck character in

a tense story of human appeal and
exquisite sentiment.
sonny" with Richard Barthel-
mess as the star. is the title of the
picture adaptation of the stage sue
cess which has absorbed this novel
twist of plot. The story retains the
simple charm of character and
treatment that featured "Torable
David" Unlike it's predecessor.
however, "Sonny" deals of indiyid-
uals in the congested cities and CEN
ters around the sophisticated life Of
the big metropolis.
Into the life of this regenerated
roughneck there comes the love Of q.
finer girl than he had ever known
during his poolroom days. The af-
fuence that seemed so boring to him
at the start becomes a suddenly
priced possession; and at the mo-
ment OF true valuation he encounters
the first danger of losing it. The
impending crisis furnishes a genuine
heart throb as the final twist OF the
plot brings novel but happy ending.
Richard Barthelmess effects some
of the finest character work in his
career marked by simple dignity and
realism.
