Palace" Broken Barriers

James Kirkwood, Norma Shearer,
Adolphe Menjou, Mae Busch and
George Fawcett have been assem-
bled by Director Reginald Barker
for the principal roles of his latest
Metro -Goldwyn production, Broken
Barriers" which will be given it's
first presentation in Washington this
afternoon as the weeks attraction at
Loew'S Palace Theater.
Broken Barriers is an authentic
perturbation of the novel of the
same name by Meredith Nicholson,
which was adapted to the screen by
Howard Higgin and Sada Cowan. and
which reveals, in series of episodes,
the story of a girls discovery that
love, no matter how powerful, is
rarely superior in its force to the de-
mandS of convention and that unless
love rests upon a firm social basis
its value is practically lost.
Norma Shearer. the girl who con-
tributed so materially to the success
of Monta Bells first directoral ef-
fort, 'Broadway After Dark" has
been invested with the role of the
heroine in this latest Reginald Bark
er picture - that of a girl who is
forced. through the loss of her faith
ers money, TO descend 10 a workaday
basis and who. watching her hope,
beauty and ambition pass, suddenly
concelves a great and absorbing love
for a man who returns her affection
in full measure, but who is handi-
capped by a matrimonial alliance
from which his unloved wife declines
to release him.
Here the girl comes face to face
with the problem of the ages-wheth-
er to accept the mans love and give
him hers without the sanction of So
ciety, or whether to adhere to the
dictates of the moral code and put
him out of her life forever. For
tunately for the sympathies of the
audience, neither course becomes
necessary.
In addition there will be a new
Mack Sennett short-length laugh
maker, starring Ralph Graves, en-
titled East of the Water Plug"
which, as its title implies. is a trav-
esty on Homer Croys famous best
seller, West of the Water Tower"
The Pathe News pictures, Topics of
the Day" and a special overture ar
ranged by Director Thomas J. Gan
non of the Palace Symphony Orches-
ira, will complete the bill.

Columbia-Rex Ingram's S
The Arab"

Rex Ingram, who first astonished
the screen world with his production
of Blasco Ibanezs -Four Horsemen
OF the Apocalypse" and who followed
up with succession of later achieve
ments that eliminated in a superb
screen study of Rafael Sabatini's S
noted novel, '.Scaramouche," offers
the screen al Loew's Columbia today
new product of his skill in The
Arab a perturbation of Edgar Sell
wyn's Broadway play, with Alice
Terry and Ramon Novarro in the
roles of prominence.
THE Arab" is a vivid romance OF
the desert actually filmed amid the
sandy wastes of northern Africa, and
employing in it's tremendous climatic
episodes thousands of Arab and Ber-
Der tribesmen. In the authenticity of
its atmosphere, the alluring charm
of its locale and the drama of its de-
VeIopment, Rex Ingram has excelled
in some particulars, the work he has
done in the past, according to advance
accounts of the subject
Among other features, "The Arab
offers Ramon Novarro a role that is
said to rival, in the interest of his
characterization his part in "Scara-
mouche,' while Miss Terry, in the
role of the daughter of an American
missionary, about whose personality
the romantic action of the story
largely revolves, has a part of the
deepest charm and tenderness. Incl
fdentally, Miss Terry's appearance in
The Arab" marks her first appear
ance as a brunette, her previous
screen appearances having been made
as blonde, due to the use of make
up and blonde wigs.
Navarro carries forward the story
in the role of a Sheik's son, who con-
ceives great devotion for the beau
tlful daughter of an American mis-
Sionary, who has taken him as a
pupil, but who shortly becomes the
pupil herself when the young prince
of the desert captures her heart and
begins to teach her the meaning of
disgrace and disinheritance through
his devotion of the Christian girl, the
young man pits his knowledge of
native treachery against the wiles of
native officials, who have secretly
planned to stir up the religious ami
mostly of native tribesmen against
the mission band.
Stalking all on his determination to
outwit the officials and save the girl
and her family from the enraged
tribesmen, the young sheik plays his
last desperate caro- ana Calls on MS
own desert tribesmen to lead a coun-
ter-attack against the nti-Christian
hordes.
In addition, Mr.. Ingram has en-
ployed group of players whose
work is known abroad, but whose
names have not been familiar to
American audiences. Among these is
Maxudian, in a villainous role. Maxu-
dian toured the United States with
Sarah Bernhardt. Count de Limur, a
real Italian nobleman; Alexandresco,
the Rumanian beauty; Giuseppe de
Campo, son of the Marquis of Campo
and Gerald Robertshaw, English
player, are prominent in Mr.. Ingram S
company.
A new Fox-Sunshine short-Iength
comedy, called stretching the Truth"
the International news pictures and
interpretive score by the Columbia
Symphony Orchestra, under Mr.. Leon
Brusilpf, will be additional features.
