THE .NE'ER.DO.WELL..

THE WELL" by Rex
Beach, the .Selig spectacular drama
filmed by the Selig Polyscope Com
pany, features Wheeler Oakman and
Kathlyn Williams and an all-star cast.
The hero is Kirk Anthony, a COL
lege graduate and veteran football
player, and since graduation the coach
of his university team. On the even
ing following a football victory, the
last of the the season, Kirk and others
start out to celebrate. Late that
night he finds himself on shipboard,
and when he awakens he is without
money and without baggage.
During the voyage, Kirk becomes
acquainted with a woman-A Mrs.
Stephen Cortlandt-whom he learns
to admire very much. She is really
diplomatic agent of great influence
One day while Kirk is out hunting he
meets in a forest bower, a Spanish
girl who is known only as "Chiquita" !"
He falls desperately in love with her,
and tries vainly to discover her
identity.
The story of his making good, of
his winning Of Chiquita despite the
counter-plottings of Mrs. Cortlandt,
of the clearing of his name, and of
the final decisive intervention in
Panamanian affairs of old Darwin X.
Anthony, is strongly engrossing and
varied by many richly humorous epi-
sodes.
Chiquita is by far the most charm
ing feminine character Rex Beach
has drawn, and Kathlyn Williams, as
Edith Cortlandt, is an exceeding, con-
vincing and fascinating type.
THE NE'ER-DO-WELL" will be
shown on Oct 5-6 at the Star The
