BARTHELMESS’S BEST
That great screen classic, “Tol’able David,” has been reincarnated—reborn under the ma|ic touch of Richard Barth elmess, who once again has created a barefoot boy in First National’s “The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come,” the idyllic picturisation of the famous and beautiful novel. As “Chad,” the mountain boy, Dick Barthelmess has added another entirely lovable and brililant portrait to his gallery of screen characterisations, etching the delicate character with an uncanny precision. The Kentucky mountain scenery, and the freshness of the picturesque locale and customs of this secluded portion of the world, have been very finely and faithfully reproduced. Molly O’Day gives another splendid portrayal opposite Barthelmess, and the cast also includes Doris Dawson, who is responsible for some colourful interludes.
