Variety dominates the downtown
picture screens this week; drama, In
trigue, romance, love and occasional
comedy, a’l having their fling at
pleasing the film fans,
j It’s really hard to say just which
f picture provides the best entertain
ment. Each comes with a good repu
tation. And each has its own group
of stars.
Richard Barthlmes’ story ''Class
mates,’’ at the Rialto, Is based upon
life at West Point. The United States
military academy granted the movie
- company permis.don lo film scenes on
the famous grounds of the West
Point sc hoi and to use cadets as
• it “extras.“
However, It was stipulated that all
the actors necessary must live ac
cording to school regulations, so be
sides his acting in scenes for the pic
ture, Dick had to follow the regular
routine of the West Point cadet.
The Jungle action In * the picture
t forms another tensely dramatic
episode which makes this perhaps the
best picture Barthelmess has done.
For a month the company battled
the heat and Insects of the Florida
r everglades while filming this part of
!' the story.
I,and of Sheiks.
“The Arab,’’ the picture showing at
the Sun with Ramon Novarro and
Alice Terry, takes the movie fan to
■ Algeria nnd Tunisia, Northern Africa,

The cast for this latest picture of
*■ Rex Ingraham's, with the exception
of Novarro and Miss Terry, was
selected entirely in Europe, and in
cludes some of the most famous of
players In the old world, among them
Maxudlan, a leading figure on the
’ French stage, who toured the United
4 States as leading man for Sarah
" Rernhardl: Count de I.imur, the
Italian nobleman; Alexandresco, the
famous Rumanian beauty, and Gerald
Robertshaw, long distinguished en
the British stage.
Mr. Ingram in planning the pic
ture decided to go to Northern Africa
to get the correct atmosphere end
the natural backgrounds. He took
Ills company abroad and spent four
months among the native tribes and
In the streets and old houses of
Tunis. It is the first time an Amer
ican company ever mnde a picture
In that vicinity. It Is claimed that
! . this is Novarro’s best picture. He
lias appeared on only five pictures
and has been featured a comparative
ly short time. Nevertheless he
milks among the leaders as box of
fice attractions.
"Wages of Virtue.”
The picture at the Strand, "Wages
of Virtue.” with Gloria Swanson In
the title role, again takee the spec

The nation is
proud of him
For bringing the life of West Point, the
world's greatest Military Academy, to the
screen. Few people know what romance,
adventure and valor hide behind its
guarded doors. Only a few may go each
year, but for every one who is chosen a
thousand others hope and try for the
chance.
And now Barthelmess mirrors it all. He
brings for you that wonderful life that
makes great manhood of our nation's
youth. Yes, you’ll see the Cadets parading
down the grounds; see them at studies;
see the uniforms they wear; you’ll know
the code they learn—“Honor above all
else.” And through it all you’ll thrill
to a story of love and sacrifice when Our
Dick takes the blame for shame, is
dragged to the depths and then comes
fighting back to victory.
No greater love story ever touched your
heart.
