DOROTHY DALTON IN

Few players of the screen can
equal charming Dorothy Dalton in
the impersonation of reckless, devil
may-care types of the once existing
mining camp dance halls. In Flare
up Sal" shown at the LaSalle to-
day she plays a part for which she
is perfectly fitted. Telling a rather
familiar story of an outlaw who re-
forms to win a dance hall girl, and
they both change their mode Of liv-
ing after the parsons blessing. the
picture is made interesting by the
characters and production. Rough,
filled with carousing and shooting,
exaggerated in many scenes, but fas-
cinating from the point Of view of
law-abiding people. Miss Dalton and
her support are excellent, the scenes
of the California woods picturesque
and the picture just what il pretends
