VICTOR MOORE IS NEW
 COMEDIAN ID FILMS
"The Race is Latest Para mount Offering With Ex-
 cellent Actor in Lead.

Victor Moore, the clever Lasky comedian, will be seen at the Royal today and Wednesday, supported by Anita King. the Paramount girl, in the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Com panys production Of The Race" thrilling comedy drama founded upon Miss Kings recent transcontinental automobile trip which she made absolutely alone.
 The Race" a Paramount picture, has to do with the adventures of Jimmie Grayson, the frivolous son of wealthy automobile manufacturer. Jimmie loses ten thousand dollars I in gambling and is disowned by his stern father. While standing in the street wondering what he should do next, he is run into by an automobile owned by a wealthy old woman and driven by a beautiful young, feminine | chauffeur. The owner of the car SC cures Jimmie employment as a me, chanic in a garage, and since he has no money, the attractive young "chaUTeuress" takes him r0 her father !
 at their home.
 Alr. Van Dyke is a clerk in Gray sons office, and to obtain money to make models for a new carburetor he has invented, has stolen nine thousand 1 dollars from the firm. Grace, his daughter, working as a chauffeur, is | ignorant of this theft until it is finally
 discovered and he is forced to confess
 to her. Jimmie and Van Dyke have perfected the carburetor and have of fered it for sale but are unable to SC | cure the money immediately.
 1 Jimmie and Grace, each unknown to | the other, start out on their long | transcOntinental flight. Each auto mobile firm, through it's agent, does it's best to delay the other. Garages
 are burned and obstacles of every | description placed in the way. Finally
 the Grayson agents send Grace over
 lhe wrong road and her car plunges over a bank There she is found by
 Jimmie and the reason of her making
 the trip is explained. Jimmie de
 cides that he, instead of Graces father
 should go to jail and deliberately 1 breaks his machine. Grace towS
 Jimmie's car through the cheering l thrOng in front of the New York City Hall. As Jimmie steps out of the machine, he is arrested for the gam
 bling debt. while the triumphant riva
 automobile manufacturer hands Grace | e, nI IA11 nr-gs
 Grace then sces to hotel room where | she receives a telegram from hel
 lather stating that he has received
 twenty-five thousand dollars as ad
 ance royalty on the carburetor. She
 lastens to the jail and turns the ter
 housand over to Jimmie. Jimmie
 arms reach through the iron bars to
 wards her and the jailer discreetly | urns his back.
