The s?- -A f CITIZEN 7 With the First Nighters chu PPea e HE Richard Barthelmess new production, Soul Fire, which opens one weeks engagement at the American theatre today, is one of the big pictures of the screen year. The appearance of Mr. Barthelmess is always an occasion of great interest for this star is singularly gifted in nedaL think NEW THIS WEEK personality and ability. Ills new picture, however, is one of extraordinary merit. Soul Fire is adapted from Martin Browns drama of a young musical genius, Greta Music. Mr. Brown is the author of a number of Broadway, Cobra hits, including and .The Lady, frpm which Norma Talmadge made a screen hit, and knows how to write effectively for the theatre. This story concerns a young American, Eric Fane, gifted to. the point of genius in music. Fane, obstructed by, his parents and circumstances, has not been able to find himself. His struggles to write a great symphony lead him from Italy, where he has been studying, to Paris and finally to Port Said, the wickedest city of the world, and to the South Seas. It is not until he disentangles himself from the superficialities of civilization and gets back to the simplicity of nature itself that he can express himself brilliantly in music. Of course, the fact that he finds a great and simple love in the South Seas may have something to do with it, too. This is a story rounded with romance and fine acting opportunities. But, best of all, it is an adventure into a new dramatic technique. For the story itself is Fanes own symphony, translated into pictures. Thus Soul Fire opens with a symphony concert in New York. The scene fades into the first movement of the great symphony, which is the experience of Fane in Italy. The second movement carries him to Paris, the third to Port Said and ! .'.-'- I ! .. - the final movement to the Soutii Seas, the 'camera swinging back between each to the.syjhptiony concert. All of which is a striking example of transferring music to pictures. " Mr. Barthelmess is surrounded by a brilliant cast. Bessie Love plays Teita the great love of the South Seas, and the cast includes Helen Ware, Walter Long.J Carlotta Monterey, Jitita Rossi, Effie Shannon Lee' '.Baker, Harriet Sterling,' Arthur Metcalfe and others. .11! .Si :! i; i I ' . . , t . - , , !

But she found one man who wouldnt and so propose to her because of-iV , she married him. Thats one of the many situations in The Sporting Venus,- which opens today at the Victory theatre for an engagement of seven days. The picture was produced by and directed by Marshall Neilan, and it proves to be one of the most entertaining films in many a day.. , Neilan is one of the best of directors of comedy on the screen, and it seems a shame that he should make any other kind of a picture until you see one of his dramas. In The Sporting Venus, Neilan has brewed a unique combination of comedy and melodrama, - developed many new situations and put a happy ending on his picture that is too. good to tell before youve seen, the t -- f , i ;l 1 'l l I i - Metro-Goldwyn-May- - 1 i1 er 1 - . : 1 1 .
