The Moving Picture Weekly (1918-1919)

20 THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY PiibliGity for "A Uttle Brother of the Rich" J. BARNEY SHERRY. BARNEY SHERRY, who co-stars with Frank Mayo and Kathryn Adams in "A Little Brother of the Rich," which comes to the Theatre on , started out in Philadelphia before scientists found out that the dreaded sleeping sickness also had its origin there. Sherry started his stage career as a collector of vegetables. He was an amateur and first appeared with the old Forepaugh stock company. When the six-feet-one-inch of Sherry, together with 200 pounds of the same gentleman, arrived in Southem California several years ago, there was quite a flurry in the motion picture industry. Here was a leading man with intelligence in his face, sufficiently mature not to wear crepe shirts and with a dramatic wallop that immediately made him invaluable to the screen. J. Barney Sherry was featured in "Jack and the Bean-stalk," "The Eternal City," "Ben-Hur," "Raflfles," "Borrowed Plumage," and other successes. KATHRYN ADAMS. Kathryn Adams, who will be at the Theatre on in the Universal success, "A Little Brother of the Rich," was bom in St. Louis. Her hair is golden and her eyes dark gray. When Kathryn tumed out to be such an all in all beauty, a musical comedy magnate engaged her to entertain tired merchants. This she did for about a year, kicking off no less than eleven sets of French heels. Then she decided to become a motion picture actress and played in many of Vitagraph, Metro, Goldwyn, Fox, Pathe and Lasky successes. She will be seen for the first time under the Universal banner in "A Little Brother of the Rich," which comes to the Theatre on , in which she co-stars with Frank Mayo and J. Barney Sherry. The stoiy was written by Joseph Medill Patterson, the famous Chicago journalist and owner of "The Chicago Tribune." It appeared first as a popular novel and was dramatized at Universal City by Lynn F. RejTiolds. FRANK MAYO. ^JNIVERSAL military training scored a notch when Frank Mayo, the motion picture star, left Peekskill Military Academy in New York, did a turn of twelve years on the speaking stage, leaped into the movies without a backward look and has been going strong ever since. Frank Mayo is starring in "A Little Brother of the Rich," which comes to the Theatre on , with Barney Sherry and Kathryn Adams. Mayo was bom in New York about twenty-nine years ago. He has spent six years of his professional life in London. But the call of ole Lunnon is foggy and out of focus compared to Southem California, and Mayo hied him to the golden west and went into motion pictures. In "A Little Borther of the Rich," which will be at the Theatre on , he depicts the role of Paul Potter, an idle and worthless young man of vast money and minute principle. The story was %%Titten by Joseph Medill Patterson, ouTier of "The Chicago Tribune." ADVANCE STORY. MONGREL dog will show yellow when cornered, although he may be a high-stepping pet in a jeweled collar and a suede blanket in times of peace. Psychologists say that the same rule applies to mongrel man. Money, education and social position cannot completely wash away the stain of the gutter. It will crop out under fire. Paul Potter, the athletic idol of Yale, was a striking example of this. He left college to earn his living in order that he might marry Sylvia Castle. When old man Castle wrecked his bank and died in disgrace. Potter was of too fine an old colonial family to stand by the girl. She went alone to New York, poor filing, and found work in a department store. But Potter, polished to a slime of respectability, forgot her until he became so badly involved with women that he sought her out as a refuge. What happened after that will be vividly depicted at the The atre, , in "A Little Brother of the Rich," a Universal photodrama with an all-star cast, featuring Frank Mayo, J.
