Returning to his home town in Kentucky, where old-timers still admire Barber John, knowing his crime to have been justifiable, Michael gets a job in Jim Mce- Cord’s bank through the influence of his Uncle Cal, after other busi- hess men have refused to hire the boy, He is teller, occupying a cage next to Vint Glade, typical small town hard guy.

Emily, the banker’s secretary, and Mike fall in love at first sight, a fact that greatly displeases Vint, who tries to conceal his feelings.

Wanting to start life over again in some small town, Mike learns of a proposition by which he can make money if he can raise a few thousand dollars. After telling Emily of his scheme, she promises to marry him. He is unsuccessful in getting the funds, however, and keeps his job at the bank.

The first day Barber John re- opens his shop, he goes to Mike’s cage to change a large bill. When Mike turns to complete the tran- saction, he sees his father’s hand reach through the cage and pick up his cigar that has rolled through the opening,

That night, Mike’s books fail to balance by two thousand dol- lars, A vision of his father’s hand comes before his frightened eyes. In the meantime, while Barber John is closing up his shop, he discovers two money bands with thousand-dollar stamps on them. Later, these are found by Mike in his father’s pocket.

the theft. That night, he writes a confession to save his father, and attempts to escape, but is brought back just in time to hear his father confess to the same crime.

Not believing either of them, Emily and the banker devise a scheme which brings about Vint Glade’s confession to the theft and the complete vindication of Mike and Barber John. Glade con- fesses he did it because Mike was loved by Emily.

This affair brings Mike to un- derstand his father and return his love. He and Emily continue their belated plans to marry.

SYNOPSIS

IN BRIEF

Michael Bolton’s college mates, on finding that his father is in prison for murder, insult him so brutally that he leaves school for the old home town. “Barber John” Bolton having served his term also returns to find his son ashamed of him, though old friends welcome him, knowing that the killing was done in defense of family honor: Michael gets a job in the bank, where pretty Emily, at once falls in love with him. Vint Glade, a clerk, is jealous and plots to im- plicate Michael in crime. Michael hears of an investment which would let him marry Emily. He tries to get the money and fails. But a discrepancy of $2,000 in his books is blamed on him and on his father in turn, though each makes a confession clearing the other. McCord, the bank presi- dent, feels sure that neither did the deed. Emily cleverly finds the culprit to be Vint Glade. Father and son are reunited and Michael and Emily plan to wed.

Grant Mitchell Plays Prodigal Father Here

Grant Mitchell, who portrays Barber John in “Man to Man,” the Warner Bros. and Vitaphone pro- duction now at the Theatre, struggled for a living as a lawyer for three years until he finally decided he was unfit for the legal profession and turned his. interest to the stage.

After graduating from Andover University and the Yale Law Col- lege, Mitchell hung up his shingle in Columbus, Ohio, where he was born on June 17, 1874. During the entire three years, he was retained by about six clients, according to Mitchell himself.

With the definite idea of going on the stage firmly planted in his mind, he went to New York and enrolled in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Within a short time, he made his stage debut with the illustrious Richard Mans- held in “Utero,” at the Herald Square Theatre, show-place of the horse and buggy age. Employed by Charles Frohman, Mitchell spent six years with the theatrical pro- ducer, appearing in numerous plays.

A turning point in his career came when he was obtained by George M. Cohan to create the or- iginal “Tailor Made Man,” which lifted his name to electric lights for the first. time. Later, he cre- ated many roles in such plays as “Get Rich Quick Wallingford,” “It Pays to Advertise,” “The Cham-

eeeee rece eeeeee

pion,’ “The Whole Town’s Talk- ing,” “The Hero,’ and scores of others.

For the past two years, Grant Mitchell has toured the country in a repertoire of his famous stage hits. His last stage appearance be- fore entering the talkies was. a re- vival of “It Pays to Advertise,” in Philadelphia.

He is five feet seven inches tall, weighs one hundred and fifty-five pounds, and has sandy hair and brown eyes. His hobby is: seeing other people act on the stage and screen. His pastime is walking, which he calls sport and exercise combined.

sacrifice their leisure, their health and sometimes their life, that the children may have better advant- ages than their parents enjoyed; that they may have the comforts of life that only money can buy. Fathers agonize over the trials, suf- ferings and defeats of their chil- dren, just as mothers do,-not prob- ably so vocally and tearfully, so they have got the reputation of

being stern, hard-hearted and un-

forgiving.

“But men and women are both human, and human nature is much the same in both sexes, despite ‘a difference in emotionalism, and father love is as worthy of admir- ation—and of our tears when pre- sented on the stage and screen— as mother love.

“The great writers of the world,

having mostly been men, have gallantly assigned the _ greater share in parental love to the

mother, helping to establish the tradition that the mother loves

‘more tenderly and devotedly than

the father. Some authors have dealt with the sorrows and joys of

fatherhood—Sophocles in his “Hdi- “pus” plays, Shakespeare in “King

Lear,” ‘The Merchant of Venice” and other plays. Balzac in some of his novels and quite a number of others—but they are in a decided

minority in comparison to the idolators of mother love. “In ‘Barber John’s Boy,’ upon

which ‘Man to Man’ is based, Ben Ames Williams has chosen to pre- sent father love—not in contrast to mother love, for the mother is dead in his story, but as a phase of parental love considered by it- self. The very human quality of his story and of his characters have been translated from the pages of his book to the screen very faithfully. The resulting emo- tion aroused in audiences seeing the picture will be as strong, I be- lieve, as though mother love were the subject.”

ous stage actor, Grant Mitchell, to the screen.

“Woman’s love and the law are enemies, always have been and al- ways will be,’ says Miss Powers, “for the reason that law embodies the spirit of punishment, woman’s love that of forgiveness and help- fulness. Law is presumed to be the spirit of social justice, but its ap- plication taints it with punishment, often making it injustice. It lacks the charity of a woman’s love for her sweetheart, husband, father and mother, her children, Law would punish them for infractions of the social and legal code—deprive them of their liberty under the guise of reforming them, making them pay for their wrongdoing,

“Our judges try to make the law impersonal in the meting out of punishment, Woman’s love is never impersonal. In its very essence it is personal, When a woman speaks of love it is of love for some one individual, or at the most of sev; eral persons; it does not embrace mankind at large. Her love would shield and protect those who are dear to\her, even when they have provoked legal punishment for their misdeeds. She at once becomes embattled on their side and her in- herent hostility to the law comes to the surface. Her love prompts her to fight the law with her natural weapon — the tongue. She uttérs half truths, equivocates, even lies outright, to protect her loved ones from the punishment that the law says is just. To her, love is char-

tte ae TB Ametee nan ee IN Tae Lae we pity ait Lvorsiveness 5 lite saw VUE ae unfeeling agency for punishing

those she would help. It is an en- emy to her love and she stands ready to fight it tooth and nail.

“The girl in ‘Man to Man’, the part I play, finds her lover in danger of being sent to prison by the law for a theft to which he has con- fessed. Her love prompts her to disbelieve even his confession of guilt, and in her fight to keep him out of prison she resorts to a clever trick which forces another man— the guilty one—to confess, She recognizes the law as an enemy against which she must pit not only her love but her wits. How she won forms an exciting climax to Ben Ames Williams’ story of human hearts in conflict.”

“MAN TO MAN” WINS PLAUDITS OF BIG AUDIENCE HERE

Se eed Theatre: Warner Bros. present “Man to Man.” Based on the story by Ben Ames Wil- liams. Screen play and dialogue by Joseph Jackson. The cast in- cludes Grant Mitchell, Lucille Powers, Phillips Holmes, Geo. Marion, Otis Harlan, Russell Simpson, Dwight Frye and Bill Banker. Allan Dwan directed.

Here is a picture which trembles between laughter and tears. The people are so human, the scenes of the little Kentucky town so warm and memory-arousing— whether it is the village picnic, with the games and the fight, or the horse-shoe pitching on the green, or the glimpses of oldtime darkies, village wags in the barber shops or the sterner scenes—all is heart- warming and unforgettable

The story is that of “Barber John” Bolton, who, having killed for hon- or, is sentenced to many years in prison, and returns after his term is over, to the welcome of old friends who know the truth of the

|| affair, and the resentment of his

son, who has been the butt of in- sults on account of his father’s wrongdoing. How both father and son become implicated in a bank robbery, how each confesses to the crime which neither did, and how the boy’s sweetheart cleverly dis- covers the guilty man, and reunites father and son, make a story which is strong in drama, rich in humor, and ‘magnificently: acted.

This is one of those rare pictures which appeal to everybody. What- ever else you miss don’t fail to see
