people are unwilling to pay high prices

motion pictures nothing IL left out. The

A writer in the Times Dispatch
who seems to be fearful Of disclosing
his identity. after a lapse OF many
weeks, comes to the aid of the Times

burden OF an attempted answer to cur

of the fact that he carefully avoids
publishing the article of the Democrat.
but consumes his time in embellishing
an ancedote as TO how in years gone

be that he was drunk, or like this I'M

unknown writer has harped to show

himself properly on things of more
importance. The average school boy

that there are fools and there are

Hur," and THE High Road" and he
was leading man with Mrs. Leslie

and also with Elsie Ferguson. This 10
Mr.. Perry's first picture. He is one OF

being a smashing hit. Associated with

Dorothy Bernard, Edith Hallor.
George Allison, Stuart Holmes. and q
great big cast OF broadway favorites.
The District Attorney" from the
famous play of the same name by
Charles Klein and Harrison Grey
Fstske, is unquestionably the most grip
ping drama of American political life
yet written. It lends itself especially
to motion picture production. because
1t calls for plenty of action and ex-
ceptionally clever acting. A notably
good company Of Lubin stars were
chosen to portray this impelling photo
play, among whom are George Soule
Spencer in the title role. Dorothy Ber-
nard as Helen knight, A. H. Van
Buren as the dupe. and Charles
Brandt as the grating contractor.
And as tho play fairly teens with
tense incidents, this cast makes the
most OF It's splendid opportunities
In q nutshell the story IL this.
Matthew Brainerd. a wealthy contrac-
tor and 'boss'' OF grating political
combine, formuiates a plan to rob the
city by forging city warrants. Me-
Grath and Williams, his shady lleu-
tenants, learn that Frank Piereon, q
clerk in the Warrant Office. 10 be-
trothed to Helen knight. but cannot
marry her on hts small income. AS
the wedding has been postponed sew
cral times, Pierson becomes desperate
IND falls an easy pray to his tempters
He. therefore. agrees to plead guilty
to the charge and accept the prison
sentence, on condition that he serve
but several months OF his term. He
insists, however. upon being given ave
notes for 10000 each. instead of
cash. and these he entrusts to HIS
clearinghouse keeper. The story
then centers around the spectacular
fight TO secure these notes, as the Gang
feels safer with Pierson In Jail, ana do
not release him az they promised.
They count on the District Attorney to
remain passive, but, through tho ef-
forts of Helen, he gets the whole
story. and by a clever ruse, makes the
chief conspirators convict themselves.
