H a the story of minister called by the
ssod OF his father to his home in Ken
,srky. He substitutes the gospel for the
in until desperate moment when, like
~ Quaker, he bids his raiment 'lie there"
shIe he goes out and fights. The two big
Ants are excellent and the memories of
sFidsrberry Gulch" and 'The Birth" in the
eranihk scenes are clear, yet graced with
ssyafAl new touches. Out Of the apparently
hsshaustible Triangle store of bewitching
souns women comes Miss Mona Thomas to
Hay opposite MIR. Hart, as the girl of the
hstIls fanlly--by no means a new trick

Ir entertaining and exciting The film

The Regent opened the week with a
aBfady-made" film from the Frohman Cor
eefation, what Happened at 22.'' 1t Is a
Eotopay Of the best "crook" variety. It
sslls tale OF forgery that arouses interest
from the first moment and keeps 1t growing
criminal plots and the planning of forgeries.
Ehs story has ingenuity and surprise. Its
seton Is steadily developed.
The acting is acceptable though hardly
On 4 level with the scenario or direction.
Frances Nelson, as the heroine, does her
BIT with no particular distinction. Arthur
Ashley 10 Sinister but not engrossng. Some
ona who plays the chief of criminal en-
ployment bureau plays 1t very badly in the
cid, old lay-it-on style.
An assault on a criminal lawyer who is
bot upon the trail of the forger is par
dolary we'll managed by the very clever
nse OF a desk first as shield and then a
name for the spot where the assault occurs.
The Forrest continued "The Ne'er-Do-
We'll, J" with Kathlyn Williams. 1t is a
lsn.reel firm version of the novel by Rex
Bach. who wrote THE Spoilers" Orches-
EaL vocal and scenic accompaniments add
2 the entertainment.
