LITTLE THEATER-"Tartuffe."

Emil Jannings again proves that
there is no standard Emil Jannings.
1t is impossible to anticipate the man.
Every picture, every scene even, is
new when he has the part. He sub
jugates himself to the role and the
role lifts him above the entire produc-
ton and above his co-workers. He
may be a virile, brutal soldier today
and tomorrow whitening old man
with his eyes alone alive.
In the feature picture this week at
the Little Theater Jannings is entire
ly new. This picture. however, is
milestone in Janningsiana, for it
thoroughly demonstrates that it Is his
presence" rather than his shadow
on the silver screen which makes him
one of the greatest actors of the pres
ent day. He appears comparatively
seldom in the film, but he is felt at
all times.
Another rare knack is his in his
selection Of leading ladies. He has
the faculty Of getting beautiful ones
who can act. Lii Dagover this week
is an actress and not "glorified
clothes horse" as one of our famous
American stars has been called.
The short feature is a scenic of the
Baltic Coast, section of the world
often spoken of in connection with in
ternational politics, but seldom pic
tured on a movie screen. The Little
Theater Trio still wins commenda-
ton, and there's a news reel on the
bill.

COLUMBIA-"BEN.HUR-."

Proving one of the most powerful
box office attractions of recent motion
picture history. '''Ben-Hur" opened
the third week of its current run at
popular prices at Loew's Columbia
yesterday.
Based upon Gen. Lew Wallace's
story of Christian fortitude in the
days of the pagan Roman Empire,
filmed on a lavish scale and inter.
preted by an excellent cast, with
Ramon Navarro, Francis X. Bushman
and May McAvoy in the featured
roles. "Ben-Hur" is the acme of ar.
tistic photoplay entertainment. In
addition to it's inspiring theme. the
picture is noteworthy for wonderful
Photographic achievement. Some of
the most spectacular scenes ever
registered by a camera have been
caught in the filming Of this picture.
Outstanding are the thrilling sea fight
of the Roman navy and the pirate
fleet and the climaxing chariot race
The scope of the camera has made
all the world that was Rome's stage
for the production of "Ben-Hur."
Through the entire picture crafty
ing respect for the deep reverence of
the story is maintained.
