Sleeping Fires" with Pauline
Frederick pictured in the central role
shown at Crandalrs Apollo yesterday
and being repeated today, is an ex-
cellent type of the photoplay in which
the emotional art OF Miss Frederick
is to be seen at its best. Her role Is
that OF a devoted mother and a
neglected wife. The story is a thrill
ing one, and has a Sorceful and thor
oughly logical conclusion.
Tomorrow's attraction will be

an Again-Out Again" featuring the
athletic comedian, Douglas Fairbanks,
which was yesterdays film attraction
at Crandalrs Savoy, might well be de-
scribed as a typical Fairbanks pro-
duction-"only more So" II presents
a satire on New York and peaceful
New Jersey, and Fairbanks role is
that OF a virile young American who
runs afoul of a group OF well-meaning
pacifists.
It is a photoplay that produces
hearty. wholesome laughter, and the
subtitles, themselves, are classics In
this respect. The role opposite Fair
banks is well portrayed by Airline
Pretty, formerly with the Columbia
Players Of this city. This picture re-
mains the attraction at the Savoy to-
day.
Tomorrow's attraction will be "Her
