Less Than Kin" with Wallace
Reid playing the stellar role, is the
photoplay feature at Loew's Columbia
Fheater. The dashing young actor is
cast in one of the best characters Of
his screen career.
Most OF the action of the picture
takes place in those two hotbeds Of

that combines every element essen
tial to a first-class film.
The story follows the BLACK sheep"
of a New York family who accident
ally kills a man and turns up in one
of the Central American countries.
In this health resort for men with a
past is Lewis Vickers, who spends
his time bolstering up the anaemic
standing army. A revolution puts
Vickers out of business, and fel-
low w-adventurer, Robert Lee, having
died, he decides to return to the
United States and take up the iden-
tity of the dead man, to whom he
bore a striking resemblance.
Back in New York, the record OF
Lee proves to be no better than his
own, but the fact that there Is girl
in the case contributes many inter
esting episodes.
Ann Little, Raymond Hatton, Gus
tave Seyffertitz, and Jane Wolff form
the supporting cast

Hearst-Pathe news review and sew
eraI short comedies, including Mutt
and JEFF, are shown
