SUNDAY AT CIRCLE

The screen version of Count Leo

Resurrection" tells the story of
Prince Dmitri and Katusha Mash
Iowa, young peasant ward of the
princes aunt, who are childhood
SWeethearts.
The prince enters the army when
he grows up and when he has a
taste of the dissolute army, social
and political life into which he is
plunged, his ideas change percep-
tibly
Dmitri's regiment is billeted over
night in the village many months
later, and when he sees Katuska
again it is her physical charm alone
that attracts him. When the prince
leaves he promises to return for
Katuska, but once more in the old
environment, he forgets her and
passes on to many new loves.
The girl is finally expelled from
the home of the aunts who had
taken care of her from childhood,
and gradually sinks into the depths
Of degradation.
Accused Of murder, she is brought
into court where the prince is sit
ting in the jury box, and his old
love for her is re-awakened.
How through love their souls are
reborn is told in this powerful
drama, the production of which was

ED WYNNE MAKES
FILM DEBUT AT APOLLO

Rubber Heels" the comedy to be
presented at the Apollo next week is
notable not only because it serves
to introduce the famous musical
comedy star, Ed Wynn, in the films,
but also because it is based on one
of the funniest ideas that has ever
reached the screen.
The story is about an ambitions
chap, Amos Wart, played by Wynn,
who bankers to be a detective, takes
a course in a detective correspon-
dence school and blossoms forth as
second Sherlock Holmes armed
with his school diploma to prove it.
Right off the bat, as it were, Amos
falls in with gang of thieves who

than Chester Conklin. And the
laughable things that such a ridi-
culous duo as Wynn and Conklin
are apt to cook up can easily be
imagined.
Amos gets job guarding a valu-
able collection of jewels at a society
function. Conklin'S gang, disguised
as servants, escape with the whole
glittering assortment. Then the
chase-the most mirthful sequence
of its kind ever filmed-begins and
continues on its merry way from
New York to Niagara Falls with
laughs planted every foot of the
way.
Possessing an intimate knowledge
of all kinds of tricks of the comics
trade. garnered through long years
of experience in musical shows, and
a personality of the outstanding
