ADJUSTMENTS
The Conquerors" at Isis Today.

''The Conquerors" at Isis Today.
A powerful Characterization is that
of Willard Mack in the stellar role
in ''The Conqueror," the Ince- Trian-
gle play showing at the Isis today.
Mack plays the part of an implaca-
bic Wall Street magnate, who meets
all the cajoleries of society with
frowns an insults. What add a great
deal to the impressiveness of lack
are his height and muscular frame.
His strong face and large piercing
eyes dominate the more polished
worldlings with whom he is thrown
in contact at receptions, dinners and
balls.
The ups and downs of ''film idol"
are shown in the keystone Triangle,
"a Movie Star" showing on the bill
with "The Conqueror." Mack Swain,
the great hero actor, goes to see him
self in the pictures. Everybody in
the audience cheers and applauds
when they find out that Swain is
present. Julia Faye is sitting next
to Mack, and she neglects her escort,
Harry Gribbon, to firt with the actor.

London, April Although recent
dispatches from America had led the
British pu ,lic to expect a sharp note
