PRINCE EDWARD
“THE BARKER” Nowhere could there have been found a more ideal combination for the making of a motion picture than “The Barker,” and George Fitzmaurice. In the intimate moments of this story of carnival life he has been especially happy. He has gained innumerable effects from the simplest touches of artistry, which becomes in his hands a matter of genius. Milton Sills and Dorothy Mackaill are co-starred in the picture, which is now being shown at the Prince Edward Theatre. This First National special contains all the ingredients that make for delightful entertainment. It deals with an unusual phase of life—that of the itinerant show people in a carnival troupe. Their intimate associations breed loves and hates, jealousies and examples of sacrifice. Over all is spread the tinsel gauze of the romantic life, sordid in its actual details, fascinating in its passing aspects. “Trelawney of the Wells,” the second feature, stars Norma Shearer and Ralph Forbes, in a comedy-drama of the English nobility and the stage.
