iris WILL PRESENT
!" THE WHINING OF
BARBARA WORTH
Samuel Goldwyn Film, With Ronald
Coleman and Wilma Banky at Iris

. "The Winning of Barbara Worth,
Samuel Goldyn's presentation of the
i Henry King production of Harold Bel
: Wright's best selling novel, with Ron
aid Coleman and Wilma Banky, comes
to the Iris theatre as the feature
photoplay next week. Manager Down
ard said that he had secured the big
reclamation film after weeks of ne
gotiations by telegraph and telephone
and that he felt the Iris theatre hon
ored in offering a production of such
proportions to it's patrons.
The dramatic romance which fea-
lures Ronald Coleman and the lovely
Wilma Banky, reunited on the screen
after a years separation in other
films, is a glowing tale of those
pioneers who battled with the menace
of water, first in it's total absence
and then in its OVERLOOKING presence.
1t is at once the story of vast lands
reclaimed and the reclamation of a
mans soul.
"The Winning Of Barbara WORTH
presents the most unique eternal tri-
angle of any of the more important
films, with Willard Holmes, eastern
engineer, coming to love Barbara Just
as Abe Lee, desert-bred westerner
does; and poor Barbara does not know
her own mind, loving both. Gary
Cooper, one of the years "finds"
plays Abe Lee to Ronald Coleman's
Holmes. And Miss Banky is Barbara
Worth, daughter of the jefferson
Worth who knew the west should be
reclaimed.
The ten million readers of Mr..
Wright's best seller will find all the
salient features of the dramatic mar
rative preserved. Abe Lee and Holmes
ride for their lives with the money.
the poor benighted townsfolk flee in
a splendidly staged stampede away
from the waters, the sandstone Of
the desert whips and lashes Jeffer-
son Worth and his beautiful wife in
the prologue, orphaning the baby
Barbara. And Henry King has beauti-
fully photographed a tornado for the
first time in motion picture, made
possible through stroke of fortune
while the company was on location in
the desert.
With E. ]. Radcliffe as Greenfield,
hated Eastern capitalist, and Charles
Lane as Jefferson Worth, the motiva-
ton of the story is in capable hands.
Clyde Coo, Follies comedian, Sam
Blum and Erwin Connolly (the stage
of "Kiki") handle the comedy
and that colorful roe Of the Seer who
dreamed of greener fields is PLAYED
by Paul McAllister with great flow
ing beard.
Sharing interest with the widely
read dramatic narrative of Harold
Bel Wright and the fame that al
ready attaches to the picture Henry
King, maker of "Stella Dallas" has
made of "The Winning of Barbara
Worth" is the reunion of Goldwyn's
complimentary stars, Mr.. Coleman
and Miss Banky. Critics in New
York and Los Angeles have been fer
vent in their praise for the work of
'hese stellar players and with them
coupled with Kings mastery direc-
Ion and Goldwyn's gigantic staging
