JEANNE EAGELS
SEEN AT THE CIRCLE

The Circle today offers as the
feature attraction, The Letters"
all-talking production with Jeanne
Eagels. sensation of New York be-
cause of her work in Rain" in the
stellar role.
Many critics have declared that
this picture marks the advent of
new epoch in talking screen progress
because of its great difference from
the ordinary production which has
been more or less characteristic of
motion picture entertainment since
it was first introduced.
The Letter" adapted from the
famous stage play of the same name
by w. Somerset Vaughan, lifts
bodily those lines which were used
in the stage presentation and pre-
sent them in all their color from
the screen.
And to add further to the pic
lures entertainment value, tech
nicianS have declared that Miss
Eagels has the best reproducing
voice thus far found for the screen.
Paramount officials believe this is
due, in a great degree, to her wide
stage experience.
In addition to Miss Eagels, the
cast also includes other legitimate
luminarieS such as o. P. Heggie,
Reginald Owen and Irene Brown.
The bill also includes another all
talking Mack Sennett comedy flying
the title of "Whirls and Girls" It
is well received and promises to be
equally as popular with the audi
ence as was The Joy Rider" which
was so we'll received a few weeks
ago.
There also are two Vitaphone
acts, Fox talking news reel, and
an organ solo by DeSSa Byrd.
