Photoplay Features.
Loew's Columbia.

1t is probably true that the rolling
stone gathers no moss-but, IS Buck
Ryder so sagely remarked to Dave
Fulton. ''Who wants to gather moss?"
And they ought TO know all about
the subject, for they are the Rolling
Stones" in. the film adaptation of Ed
gar Selwyn's play of the same name,
which is the feature photoplay at
Loew's Columbia today and for the
first half OF the week, with two screen
favorites-Owen Moore and Marguerite
Courtot-as co-stars.
IF YOU see anything you like, grab
it" That IS the pleasant philosophy
of life which guides Buck Ryder and
Dave Fulton in their rather haphazard
existence. Dave is a little more of d
theorist than Buck, who, though an
amable chap and most lika BILE, is
willing to go to extremes in carrying
out his schemes of things which Dave
does not approve. So when Buck per-
suades his friend to pose as Jerry
Braden for the purpose of winning the
hand and fortune of Norma Noggs, ac-
cording to her uncle's will, Dave thor
oughly dislikes the idea of deceiving
the girl and is only held steadfast in
his purpose by Dawes continuous
urging. Beginning Thursday and for
the last half of the week the noted
japanese actor, Sessue Hayakawa, Will
be seen in a novel photo drama, en-
titled The Honorable Friend Sessue
Hayakawa will be remembered for his
personal triumph in The Cheat as
well as in the stellar role Of Allen Souls
