Barthelmess In

Scores Triumph

Richard Barthelmess, whose char
ac.er portrayals in way Down East"

and other classics. have won him the
plaudits of millions, again demon
strates that he is one of the finest
actors on the screen in his current
vehicle, The Little Shepherd OF
Kingdom Come" at the Arcadia
theater, Harlingen Sunday.
Barthelmess was. perhaps best
loved in his "Tol'able David" role.
As Chad, the mountain boy in "The
Little Shepherd Of Kingdom Come" a
perturbation Of John Fox, Jr-'s story
Of the Kentucky mountains, the star
surprises even his most ardent ad-
mirers in a role that is comparable
10 "Tol'able David" In fact, in this
picture he surpasses that role in
many respects.
When a barefoot mountain lad
walks into an early scene in "The
Little Shepherd Of Kingdom Come
we have our first glimpse of a char
acter that will live long in the
hearts Of Barthelmess followers. Ii
was difficult to believe that this
boy was Barthelmess. And the
Characterization that follows Is a
sincere, convincing piece of acting
that stamps the sar as a natural actor
OF unsurpassed ability.
"The Little Shepherd Of Kingdom
Come" is the story Of a group OF
plain mountain folk living in the
hills Of Kentucky in the Civil war
days. Into this group comes q
homeless waif with his dog. The
adventures which befall this boy
make up a romance tense with drama
and thrilling in the extreme. Through
it all Barthelmess never for a mo-
ment waivers from his characterize
ton.
