John Barrymore, Is Fea-
ture Tomorrow

more in the title role, is the fea-
ture picture at the Carlton We'd

ley Mason and Johnny Harron in
"Rose of the Tenements," are play

The feature, Don Juar,' is the
story of a sixteenth century Roman
lover who leaves behind him a long
trail of broken hearts. Barrymore
plays a dual role. First he appears
as Don Juan's father, Don Jose, 4

Gus, seductive lover, who, with a
smile on his lips poisons the minds
of the women who yield to his IL
resistible fascinations. Thus he
becomes the destroyer.
