The brewing industry is one of the

 Willard Louis, creating the title role in the Sinclair Lewis novel. "Babbitt," which opens Thursday. proves himself the typical business man of whom Lewis wrote. Also. the jail scene is one of the most realistic sequences ever flashed on the screen. In addition to MT. Louis, the cast includes Carmel Meyers, Mary Alden, Dale Fuller, Cissy Fitz- gerald. Raymond Mckee and Ger trude Olmsted.
 The accompanying Thursday fea- ture is a new Wesley Barry produc- ton. George Washington, Jr." and adapted from the famous stage sue cess of George NJ. Cohan. Wesley plays the title role, the same that MT. Cohan took in the original stage presentation. This is a distinctly new role for Barry as he graduates from the kid" type into the full fledged young society man.
 The plot has to do with the long standing feud between Senators Bell grave and Hopkins, political enemies who oppose each other on general principles. Belgrave's son has been dubbed George Washington, Jr." because of his unwavering truthful ness and his determination to carry on the ideals Of the father of his country. When he finds his dad tell ing lies he leaves home and gets a job as taXidriver and thereby is able to foil a plot whereby a fake count hopes to steal a secret treaty from his father. Barry is supported by a cast that includes Gertrude Olsted, Edward Phillips, William Court wright, Leon Bary, Charles Conklin and Otis Harlan.

A FOX PRODUCTION
 AT THE PALACE
''The Man Who Came Back"
 With George O'Brien

Another adaptation from book and stage play which scored mark ed success in beth forms, comes to the public this season in the William Fox screen version of ''rhe Man Who Came Back" which opens a four day run at the Palace theatre, Sunday night. John Fleming Wilson wrote the novel which became a best seller immediately. Jules Eckert Goodman made 1t into a play which won Broadway and then the whole country. Now, Edmund Goulding has written scenario from which Elm melt Flynn has directed a picture which promises to duplicate the book and stage versions.
 The story concerns the blacksheep son of wealthy New Yorker. The youngster burns up Broadway and when it becomes too hot for him, is sent to San Francisco by his father to work in a ship yard. In the Gold en Gate City he is shanghaied and eventually lands in the Orient, 
 The fall and rise of Henry Potter, the reckless devil-may-care Ameri- can, ,weaves itself into a narrative so romantic and full of action that it might have been originally written for the screen. Needless to say, he does rise. But not until he has ex- perienced the sting of defeat and the degradation of the underdog. He also i learns the extent of woman's sacri- flee. And In the end, Henry Potter turns out to be a first rater in the real sense of the phase.
 George O'Brien has the leading role as young Henry Potter. Repre- senting the boy at the age of years | is Walter Wilkinson, and later, at 12 years, Brother Miller. The direc-

RIN TIN TIN IN LYCEUM FEATURE
"Ihe Lighthouse by the Sea"
 Opens Sunday Night

The tremendous importance of the lighthouse, particularly as 1t bears on the vicious activities of rum runners and bootloggers, is the theme of the new photoplay, "The Lighthouse by the Sea" which will be shown at the Lyceum theater be- ginning tomorrow night and con- tinuing through Wednesday. Inci- dentally, tGto drama reatures the famous police dog, "Rin Tin Tin. |" The other Sunday evening feature will also be q big time production, Do It Now" a comedy drama star ring Madge BalIamy.

The news reels, comedies and serials will be presented as usual
 In "The Lighthouse by the Sea. " the famous comedy queen, Louise Fazenda will have the starring fem mine role. Vicious evil, pathetic old age, blossoming love that wav- CTS between sham and reality, and the courageous truth of youth are the ingredients in this play by Owen Davis. The story centers around the uncanny way in which Rin Tin Tin saves the day, thus destroying a malignant force of rum runners and uniting two lovers in the steady shine of the lighthouse. Miss Fa- zenda portrays the devoted daughter of the blifd lighthouse keeper, whose infatuation for a dapper stranger almost wrecks the light
