The Return of Peter
Grimm

In THE Return of Peter Grimm"
a pleasant, convincing ghost story,
Lionel Barrymore gives another
flawless performance as the tyran-
ical horticulturist, Mr. Grimm. The
picture opens today at the Circle
Theater.
Twenty years ago David Belasco
wrote The Return OF Peter Grimm, -
and produced it. 1t was a raging
hit. The story took we'll in 1911. 1t
ought to take we'll in 1885, because it
isn't any more logical now than it
was then.
The story depicts the return to
earth of Mr.. Grimm, who had
forced his foster. daughter Catherine
Helen Mack to promise that she
would marry Mr. Grimm's nephew,
when she was really in love with
James, Grimm'S secretary.
The efforts of the ghost of Peter
Grimm to make the ones he loves
understand that now that he is dead
he wants them to forget their
promises to him and be happy, form
the basis for the picture.
The picture has beer delicately
handled. This gives it more firm
ness and conviction than was evil
denced in the stage play.
Outstanding in The Return OF

Helen Mack, who for years has been

HOLLYWOOD, oct. 4.-Careen-

lane, a ponderous Civil War military
caisson recently miraculously swept
by several hundred film extras and
ended its mad ride when it crashed

The caisson was one of eight

The heavy military vehicle tore

Hidden in a dust cloud, it tumbled
wildly down the hill, caroming off
the sides of trees and narrowly
missing the film workers en- route.
