1t is not likely that Richard Dix will
disappoint any of his fans-and he
seems to hold their Royalties with con-
sistent strengthen his latest picture,
"Redskin." which Is showing at the
Earle this week. The film is partially
made in colors and has music and
sound effects throughout.
The present work Is a companion
piece to The Vanishing American" In
which Dix managed to characterize the
Indian with rather convincing &C
curacy. AS in the earlier Aim, the
story content of The Redskin' Is
neither too impressive nor too logical,
but the film, by any standard, may be
judged an attractive one regardless.
The natural-color photography, re-
Pueblo hues, justifies itself entirely In

When the sound picture can bring
such stars as Ruth Chatterton, capa-

1t is however, Barrie at his more

LITTLE THEATER-Behind the Ger

The UFA production, Behind the

at the Little Theater this week. It
is the German official pictorial story OF

characters in the film story, including
the former Kaiser of Germany, Gen.
Won Hindenburg, Admiral Won Tri-
pitz. along with Marshal Joffre. Lloyd
George, Marshall Foch and President
Woodrow Wilson. The picture is a re-

Considering the theme, 1.-THE Birth

The star is surrounded by a clever
company of entertainers in humor,

their inspiration from the young prin-
cipal whom the patrons seemed to want
to hold indefinitely. Joe Van is good
comedian and he can MARBLE with the
best of them. Katherine Stevens is

knows how to make them laugh and
Edna Harris, Althea Conley, Benny

of youthful, spirited choristers, keep
the show moving apace with delight to
the beholders.
There will be a midnight show to-
night and wrestling match as a part
