THE LITTLE SHEPHERD OF KINGDOM COME. j Richard Barthelmcss whose character portrayals in AA’ay Down East, I Broken Blossoms and other classics have won him the plaudits of millions, again demonstrates that lie is one of the finest actors ou the screen, in his current vehicle Tho Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come. Barthelmcss was perhaps best loved in his Tol’able David role. As Chad, the mountain boy in The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come, a picturisatiou of John Fox’s story of the Kentucky mountains, the star surprises even his most ardent admirers in a role that in comparable to Tol’ablc David. In fact, in this picture lie surpasses that role in many respects. AVhcn a barefoot mountain lad walks into an early scene in The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come, we have our first glimpse of a character that will live long in the hearts of Barthelmcss, followers. It was difficult to believe that this boy was Bartbelmess. And the characterisation that follows is a sincere, convincing piece of acting that stamps the star as a natural actor of unsurpassed ability. Tho screening to-morrow is Reginald Denny in Good Morning Judge and this is a picture everyone has been waiting for.
