TRIBUNE THRILLS
PUT In PICTURES
How Molly Made Good
Is Exciting Story of a
Reporters Life.
By HAYWOOD BROUN.


Tribune reporter have been put upon
the screen. In How Molly Made
Good a new Kulee picture, Burns
Mantle, the dramatic critic OF THE
Evening Mail" shows his appreciation
Of the pace which prevails in this office.
Tho picture was shown at the Broad
way Theatre yesterday and will soon
he released.
Twelve stars take part in the picture,
not members Of the do you know"
gang. but other persons whose names
appear in electric lights. The dozen Is
composed Of Henrietta Crosman. Ju-
liam Eltinge, Lulu Glaser. Cyril Scott,
Robert Edeson. May Robson, Julia
Dean, Leo Ditrichstein, Mabel Fenton,
Charles j. Ross and two others whose
names we have forgotten.
No sooner did the picture enter the
Tribune office than we received an un-
pleasant surprise. In all the room
! there was not one familiar face. No
| friend was present with whom we could
J discuss the shake-up which obviously
4 had taken place. We looked anxiously
for our own desk to ascertain who was
: sitting there, but the contour Of the
room had changed as inexpicably as
/ the staff. And yet we could have sworn
[ that we saw Molly enter the Tribune
! Building Franklin. tower. clock and
all the rest were in the proper place.
Presently a striking beauty saun-
| tered across the unfamiliar office. and
| when, according to subtitle, she ad-
/ dressed the city editor as "old dear"
we knew that it was the Tribune office
/ after all. The beauty was a member
( Of the reportorial staff of New York's
| fastest growing newspaper, but she had
neglected to familiarize herself with
/ the papers motto, First to Last-the
Truth"
Having been assigned TO see GER
tain woman on certain steamship
and having slothfully neglected 10 do
so, the lady reporter mendaciously
/ ayerred that the desired party was not
on board. At this point Molly entered
/ the film and the Tribune Office in search
of brother who, as IL happened. had
been assigned TO London. Now, Molly
crossed on the same steamer as the
woman concerning whom the city edl-
i tor desired a story. and accordingly
/ she spoke up and politely stated that
, the lady reporter was in error. More
over. she wrote the story and was inn
mediately assigned 20 another
The task set for Molly was 20 see
twelve prominent actors and actresses
and get interviews on the subject Of
motion pictures. The city editor i'm
pressed upon Molly the fact that unless
she brought the story 20 the office by
II o'clock, midnight, Of Saturday II
would be Of no value. Whereupon
Molly sprinted
But fast as she went from star 70
star the lady reporter followed. Upon
one occasion she cut the back tires OF
/ the automobile in which kind actor
was speeding Molly on her symposium.
/ Later the lady reporter induced a
chum. once a baseball writer. but now
pickpockot, 20 rob Molly.
Somehow or other Molly never had
any money Poor girl. she had no time
20 get ADVICE from any OF the Office
experts on expense accounts.
But money or TO money, the Tribune
recruit got her last Interview with
Henrietta Crosman and had still halS
an hour q reach the Office from some
suburban point. Miss Crosman ac-
cordingly gave her lift for the last
lap Of the Journey in an aeroplane.
As the fated time drew near there
was more than the usral excitement In
the Tribune Office. The copy desk was
all agog. The men made wagers with
each other, chiefly nickels and dimes,
as 70 whether or not Molly would ar
rive on time. The price against sue
cess rose 10 four. two and even, when
T In came Molly. She left the aeroplane
outside and used the door.
As 4 reward for her achievement
Molly received $50, permanent Job on
+ The Tribune and an offer OF marriage
from an editor. the sporting one, we
think.
How Molly Made Good" IL great FUN
and as spirited motion picture as We
have ever seen. Il shows collision
+ between an automobile and train, an
aeroplane fight, a dogfght and the
/ Tribune Office on Saturday night.
As a picture Of the life Of lady
reporter IL shows how apt is the re-
mark occasionally heard: cit must be
good fun 10 be newspaper reporter;
you meet so many interesting people"
