LON CHANEY, “HE”
IN STRONG DRAMA
OF CIRCUS TROUPE
NORMA SHEARER, JOHN GILBERT
AND TULLY MARSHALL ARE
IN GREAT CAST TONITE
TELLS AN UNUSUAL STORY
Clown’s Tragedy a Mixture of Real
ism, Romance and Rhapsody.
With a European circus as the lo
cale, and a tragic clown as the cen
tral character, Metro-Goldwyn-May
er’s “He Who Gets Slapped,” which
is on tonight at the Liberty Thea
ter, is declared to be one of the
most unusual pictures of the season.
“He Who Gets Slapped” is the
story of a brilliant scientist, who is j
deserted by his wife, and whose life
■work is stolen by his patron and
friend. “HE,” embittered, and seek
ing forgetfulness, becomes a clown
in a French circus. This is the be
ginning of the story, and the picture
carries its audience into the back
stage of a European circus, with the
story told by clowns, acrobats, trick j
riders and the other performers of i
the hippodrome.
The picture was directed by Victor
Seastrom. the noted Swedish actor
producer, and has proved an excellent
vehicle for his technique and strong ]
dramatic sense. The story is one of
the most tragic and dramatic ever1
screened, and the locale of the cir
cus provides many colorful settings
and much interesting atmosphere.
Lon Chaney, king of character ac
tors and make-up wizards, plays the
leading male role, tiiai of the un
happy clown, “He,” and it is reported
he has made it one of his greatest
characterizations. Norma Shearer
and John Gilbert play the romantic
leads. The supporting cast includes
Tully Marshall, Ford Sterling, Marc
McDermott.
The story was adapted from the
play of the same name by Leonid
Andreyev, one of the foremost mod
ern Russian playwrights, and was
adapted to the screen by Carey Wil
son.

GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA MAY
CALL OUT TROOPS AGAINST
GOVERNMENT.
KCYtTONC VIEW CO. NtW VONK
Governor George W. P. Hunt, of
Arizona, may call out the State
troops to protect “State Rights” in
the Kaibab National Forest. The an
nouncement came as a result of the
Government not permitting the hunt
ing season to be extended, which the
Goveror and Forestry officials want
ed done. The forest is being over
run with deer who are destroying
the vegetation and the hunting sea
son is too short to eliminate any
large amount of them. Governor
Hunt claims it is not the deer, but
whether or not the Government may
invade the sovereign State and claim
ownership of its resources.
