Eugene O'Brien, in "Her Only Way" Jackie Coogan as the star of a five ring show under the "big top," in "Circus Days," will play at Loew's State Theatre all week. At last the famous Otis story of "Toby Tyler," the most popular hook of circus life for twenty years, has been screened amid the atmosphere and glamor of the greatest game in the world. "Circus Days" was directed by Eddie Cline. It is a First National picture and supporting Jackie are Barbara Teunant, Russell Simpson, Claire McDowell, Ceasarc Gravini, Peaches Jackson, Sam De Grasse, De Witt Jennings, Nellie Lane and William Barlow. Jaskie plays the stellar role of "Toby" who runs away from an unhappy home to join a circus, becomes a peanut salesman and then, in an entirely unsuspected manner, the star clown of the show. Jackie has an exceedingly lovely little leading lady in the person of Peaches Jackson, and his efforts to aid this little lady in her distress results in his suddenly being projected into fame and success "under the big top." The fanfare of trumpets, the screeching note of the caliope, and the prancing of horses, the screaming of monkies and the roaring of lions will all seem real when Jackie Coogan stirs our emotions in this production, which is said to be his greatest picture to date. Loew's State Theater, in addition to "Circus Days." presents the first of the new Mack Sennctt-Pathe comedies, "Nip and Tuck," in which an all-star cast of comedians is featured. C ntinuing its remarkable sensation, Rin-Tin-Tin in "Where the Nortth Begins," is playing at the Alhatnbra Theater to the biggest crowds in the history of that house. Having closed a record week during its first showing, this famous police dog picture has been demanded for an immediate continuation of the run and thousands of theatergoers have thronged the Alhatnbra ever since it has been returned there. The production is a Warner Brothers' screen classic, directed by Chester M. Franklin under the personal supervision of Harry Rapf. Its leading character is the wolf-dog, Rin-Tin-Tin, lost in the snowy wastes of the northland when a pup and reared by his wild ancestors into a splendid specimen of a wild animal. The meeting between this wild dog and a man brings to the screen one of the most absorbing episodes screen fans have ever beheld. "The Broken Wing," a comedydrama by Paul Dickey and Chas. Goddard, ranks as one of the biggest successes to be presented the Morosco play goers, and offers the most spectacular scenic effect ever seen on a local stage. Margaret Anglin and her well selected supporting cast, enter into a second week at the Mason in Oscar Wilde's brilliant comedy, "A Woman of No Importance." "Getting Gertie's Garter," Avery Hopwood's speed farce, which opens its eighth consecutive week at Egan's Theatre, bids lair to set a new mark in comedy offerings. Harry B. Carey, probably the most popular western man of today, comes to the Hillstreet theatre in a feature photoplay, "Crashin' Thru." a volcanic drama of the Golden West. Eva Shirley and Al Roth, with Oscar Adler's orchestra, head the vaudeville list. Norma Talmadge and Eugene O'Brien will be seeen in a revival of "Her Only Way," a Sidney Franklin production, whicTi opens the Symphony Theatre "Cordelia, the Magnificent," Lcrcy Scott's fascinating story of New York society life, a startling and enthralling romance of a girl who becomes the target of intrigue and blackmail, is this week's Kinema offering. Clara Kimball Voting portrays the title role, which encompasses the whole range of human emoions, and these emotions the beautiful star interprets with perfect realism. Miss Voting in the role of the society girl involved in a thrilling series of adventure of love and blackmail brings into play every phase of her artistry. The part played by the wife in rescuing the wrecked family financial barque, is the theme of "The Silent Partner," featuring Leatrice^ Joy, Owen Moore and Robert Edeson, at Grauman's Metropolitan theatre this week. The picture is an adaptation of Maximilian Foster's Saturday Evening Post serial of the same ttitle, and Charles Maigne is the producer. Miss Joy plays the role of the wife of a broker's clerk (Owen Moore) who first proceeds to make a fortune and then plunges recklessly to ruin only to find, after the crash, that his helpmate, while apparently spending extravagantly, has been putting aside about half of what she spent, saving enough to again put them on the road to success. Perhaps no more popular announcement could have been made by Producer Thomas Wilkes than that of the presentation at the Majestic Theatre of Miss Marjorie Rambeau in her latest New Vork success. "The Goldfish," a three act comedy by Gladys Unger. As a starring vehicle for this popular local favorite, it is claimed by many to be even better than "The Sign on the Door," in which she made her last appearance in this city.
