es of the north. This attraction,
Metro picture, features the brilliant
dramatic actor, Edmund Breese.
Tuesday.
John Barrymore, star of the legit-
innate stage, unexcelled and, since
his entrance into pictures, the great
est of them all, brings "The Red
Widow" to the Vining Tuesday night.
In direct succession a series of the
most excruciatingly comical situa-
tions develop in this great comedy
which give the great comedian and
his cast of supporters, any OF whom
would star by himself, an opportun-
ity to develop a comedy which will
stand as a classic of the film. AS
corset salesman in Russia, Barry
more runs into a combination of
bombs. nihilists, women, Siberia and
embarrassing situations which keep
the audience shaking with mirth.
Wednesday.
On Wednesday comes Robert War
wick, the eminent dramatic artist,
in Sudden Riches" a photoplay OF
distinguished inspiration dealing
with a vital modern problem.
The story of Sudden Riches"
deals with a legacy of hate. Old Abb
ner Crewe, a miser and recluse, wills
his great fortune to his nephew, Rob
ert, in a spirit of revenge. He counts
on this sudden wealth to wreck the
young mans life.
Robert, his young wife and baby
are perfectly happy until old Abner's
millions fall at their feet. What
follows bears out the cunning olo
miser's prophecy. The sudden riches
lead them straight toward destruc-
tion. In the end Robert redeems
himself by great act, and the in
fluence of parental love urges the
young couple to reconciliation.
Thursday.
On Thursday comes THE Beggar
of Cawnpore" and "The Bitter Pill"
H. B. Warner, Triangle star, is the
beggar in "The Beggar Of Gavin
pore" The story opens in a crumb-
ling. sinking mud hut on the Indian
desert about the year 1857. A doc
tor in the British army succumbs to
the morphine habit while attempting
to nurse a cholera-stricken friend
back to health, unaided in the heart
of the desert. He tries to overcome
the habit for the sake of girl, and
the fight against the insidious grip
of the drug is a wonderful exhibition
of acting. The Sepoy mutiny, thrill
ing scenes and resulting eventualities
give Warner a rare chance to display
his histrionic powers.
1.-THE Bitter Pill" is Keystone
comedy that is really funny, featur-
ing Mack Swain and a gang Of Key
stone funmakers.
Friday.
The big feature for Friday needs
but little exploitation. 1t is Mar
guerite Clark in Molly Make-Be-
lieve." Is not that enough?
