"The Greater Glory" for
which Miss June Mathis, super
visor of "The -Four Horsemen'
and "discoverer" of Rudolph
Valentino, stands sponsor, will
be the attraction at the Circle
beginning Sunday.
"The Greater Glory" is a
stupendous drama Of postwar
Vienna, once the gayest city in
the Austrian empire.
The picture is an adaptation Of
Edith O'Shaughnessy' famous
novel, "The Viennese Medley" Miss
O'Shaughnessy was the wife Of the
American minister to Austria during
the World War, and was therefore
in a position to write an authentic
story of those stirring times. More
than a year was spent on the pro-
duction, which was directed by Curt
Rehfeld.
The picture treats Of the metamor-
phosis gone through by large and
aristocratic family during and fol-
lowing the great war, and chiefly
concerns the philanthropies Of Fan
ny, a young Viennese outcast, who,
during the days following the war,
though Stunned and ignored by the
members Of her family, furnishes the
funds which enable them to live.
They refuse to accept her assist
ance directly, but through the in
huence of Tante Hide, a maiden aunt,
who is the protecting angel Of the
entire family, Fanny furnishes them
with food, warm clothing and money.
How through the ministrations of
the gentle old aunt, the relatives are
reconcile,, and Fanny finds happi-
ness with her childhood sweetheart
whose mother had forced him to give
up the girl when she is innocently
made the center Of a scandal, is told
in this dramatic story.
Though a story Of the war, there
is not a single battle scene, the pic
ture dealing entirely with the strug-
giles Of those who have remained
at home. Treated in the same spic
manner as 1.-The Four Horsemen,"
1.-The Greater Glory" promises to
take high rank among the big pro-
auctions Of the year.
Anna @. Nilsson and Conway
Tearle are featured, and the support
ing cast includes the following we'll
