Today, "The Vital Question:" feat
 uring Virginia Pearson and Charles Kent. Cornered by creditors and threatened with bankruptcy, King, a business man, appeals to Scarsdale, a lawyer bethrothed to his daughter, for assistance. Scarsdale refuses to consider the shady transaction. Rather than face disgrace, King kills morally responsible for her fathers death, and breaks the engagement. Scarsdale secretly pledges his fortune to the creditors and thus saves Beat rice from disgrace. Beatrice accepts the attention of Worden, who has be- friended her and Dick, her brother. Dick forges Worden's name to check, and Worden induces Beatrice to marry him to save her brother from prison.

Next week--ln writing "Cabiria" for the screen. everyone of the num- erous talents D'Annuncio is master of was brought into play. It not only tested his genius as poet, author and dramatist. but brought to light his almost academic erudition and his marvellous attributes as a scholar of departed nations, times and folklore, and possesses the rare faculty of making dead nations seem to live again, in all it's pristine glory of two thousand years ago. as he has done in ''Cabiria."
 The story of "Cabiria" (The Spirit of the Flames) opens in Catania, in Sicily, in the third century before Christ, immediately after the close of the first Punic war. BattO. a Ro- man patrician and large landowner, rusticating in peace and plenty at his villa in Sicily. under the shadow of Mount Aetna, the troublesome vol cano, is suddenly bereft of his hap piness by an earthquake, closely fol- lowed by an eruption of the volcano. The mighty bosom of Aetna heaving with a rear like a thunderclap of doom, strikes terror into the hearts of Batto and his wife, playing with their little daughter, Cabiria. Lava, hissing in molten stream, poured down the rugged sides of Aetna. leav- ing devastation and destruction in it's path and carrying all before it like an avalanche. Detonations and re- verberations of mighty volumes of sound filled the air with hideous noises, drowning the lamentations of & stricken and homeless people. The air, filled with sulphurous gases, roll ed up to mock the heavens, in thick clouds of smoke, in which strange and horrible forms seemed to dance and gloat at the Agonies of the dead and dying. It seemed that the peace full valley of lovely Catania. had be- come a veritable "Dante's Inferno" a scene to which it has often been

Here's a happy combination for you. One of Harold MacGrath's rollicking romances with the punch that has made his books "best sellers" TOT years; with King Baggot and lovely Edna Hunter; with the direction in the capable hands of Henry Otto, who produced the famous "Undine"; with an unusual cast and the usual lavish Red Feather production. Kings rep utation as "a gay dog" is largely due to his constant association with "act- resses." Clara Beyers, in vampire character, who wasn't really a rogue, either, adds spice to an all round fine production.

All the mighty re- sources of the Italian nation were combined to produce the effects need- ed in presenting the dreadful catas- trophe shown. From the destruction of Catania, the story goes on to show the terrible happenings which beset the little girl, Cabiria. who after a series of misfortunes is captured by Numidian pirates and sold as a sacri- flce to their god, Mcloch.
