acted by Taylor Holmes. the inimit- able comedy actor, is bound to be unusually interesting.
 Uneasy Money" is picturized from the story of the same name by P. G. Saturday Evening Post. Ten million people read it; twenty million others heard it's amusing situations dis cussed.
 The picture adds humor and excite ment to the story. Taylor Holmes as the placid, the guileless, the honest, young English Lord. suddenly be- quethed fortune merely because he befriended an old fogey millionaire, is most unhappy. Primarily, because he believes wealth is vulgar and es- pecially unpleasant and distasteful when that wealth one feels should go to another-a beautiful though poor young American woman.
 But when this young American wo- man denounces all interest in the money, then, what can a chap do but force her to take at least half of it, what? So logicized the young Eng lishman.
 His quest of the girl, his adven- lures on New England chicken farm his quaint courtship, all serve to show up Taylor Holmes ability to it's greatest cleverness.
 Uneasy Money has a screen time of 75 minutes, and is- distributed through George Kleine branches as a George K. Spoor ultra feature.

WALTHALL COMING
 TO LAMARA TODAY

The third Paralta play to be brought to the city, which will open a three days engagement at the La mara today presents the screens most accomplished delineator of intense types, Henry B. Walthall. Henry B. Walthall has firmly established him. self with audiences throughout the country, having created many of the most notable roles in all the history of the silent drama. It was indeed a notable accomplishment when Paralta secured the services of this master character actor. His debt under this banner is made in His Robe of Honor" a story written by Ethel and James Dorrance, which when present. ed in book form some short time ago swept the country like wildfire. The authors are both brilliant newspaper writers with wide and varied eX- Iperience who have evolved in His Robe of Honor a most fascinating story, told in a thoroughly convince ing manner, and with decidedly novel treatment throughout It offers Walt hall a role that has been reviewed as the greatest of his most brilliant career. The story is full of revela- tions, and reaches the depths of the underworld, with, as one writer has expressed it "the doors unlocked and the lights turned on."
 Asking the question "Can disre- putable lawyer be redeemed and be- come an upright judge?" the picture proceeds to answer the question with breathless intensity, thrilling situa- tions, romantic moments and smash ing climaxes of powerful force.
 Walthall is cast for the role of the young lawyer, who rises with his op- portunities regardless of how disre- putable the opportunities may be. or to what depth he must sink to attain his ends.
 It is, when he meets young wo- man of high social position whose in- ate force of character fans his spark of manhood into the high resolve tC forever wear ''the robe of honor,' that the full force of the story is apparent The struggles of the awakened soul his temptations, and at last his su- preme test form the leading threads of a plot which in the hands of the talented star, will prove a revelation even to the most ardent admirers of Henry B. Walthall.

EM MPRESS

If ever there was play shown on the screen that contained more thrilling mystery than Mabel Nor n.and's first Goldwyn starring ve- hicle, ''Dodging a Million" the au- thors, Edgar Selwyn and A. M. Ken nedy, would like to know it.
 'Dodgirg a Million,' which is to be shown at the Empress theatcr be- ginning today has neither murders nor detectives to create suspense; bu, by a clever unfolding of a novel plnt the i-.terest is kept at high len sion to .re very cd
 Everything is handled from the viewpoint of the heroine, Arabella Flynn, who is an humble dresser in a fashionable modiste shop. The spec tator shares her wonder at the mys- t.rious things that happen to her, beginning with the appearance of d strange man who asks her the names of her mother, father, grand mother and grandfather and then hrrrier off, and learns the complete facts only as fast as they are ex- pla;ned to her.

Hornung would not have had excuse for existence had he not set at rest conscience by giving it out that his deft fingers were to lift mylady. necklace to provide for his poor.
 Of course he might have been pop ular at that as just a smart dress suit crook with a fondness for expensive jewels and a liking for adventure, but to make him doubly ure, Horn ung created him a fascinating society favorite and then added this sure fire stealing from the rich" stuff to put him over right.
 That he succeeded is told in the enormous sale of Rallies" in book form and the splendid vogue it en- joyed as a play in every country on the globe for Rallies was translated to all languages.
 Now comes the statute film pro- ducer and serves it as a big state right special with John Barrymore in the part of the society thief and it is perhaps safe to say that no man of the screen could better fit this char acter than Barrymore with his keen sense of humor, his splendid athletic ability and if the New York critics are to be taken at their word INdllltS lS one SIildTl story uOHe lO the very latest word for the screen. It certainly lands itself as current l fiction story to the making of a smart picture for as play one had to be satisfied with imaginary jumps from fast going acean steamers, climbs over stage roofs two or three feet off the stage floor, and kindred makeshift bits of reclaims that are done in their original form. In the picture John Barrymore does the 50 foot dive from the deck of at big steamer as if he were going to his daily plunge in the family tub. He scales the sides of skyscrapers with the ease that the professonal human | fly takes his daily exercise.
 Rallies is altogether worth while, is said by everyone who has seen it and the fact that it is to play a three days engagement starting this morn 1 ing at the Hip at regular prices speaks well for he enterprise of the loci manager of that house, when it is known that it plays here before Los Angeles sees it. It is booked to open for one week following the engagement here at the million dollar picture palace of the coast city, "The | Kinema.'

DANSANTS POPULAR
 WICKERSHAM PLAY

The Wickersham academy for dancing is now the rendezvous for smart party dansants-each party complete in itself, but making a most pleasing and novel picture as a whole.
 MT. Wickersham has always striven to create just that atmosphere at the academy and from all appearances, his hopes and efforts have material iZed.
 It has become unnecessary to wreck ones home in order to entertain with a dance. The Wickersham academy provides for events of that kind without further interruptions than the clever exhibition by Miss Margaret Priester and MT. Wickersham, the entertaining. numbers by the Favor ite quartet and the jazziest of jazz music.
 The Saturday matinee dance is en- joyed by the fond mothers as well as the kiddies, who fairly gurggle with glee.
 A new class for beginners in ball room dancing will be formed Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock.

RAFFLES FILM TO
 BE BIG HIP BILL

Describing Rallies" is akin to car rying coals to Newcastle. To those who enjoyed the splendid work of fiction when its creator, Hornung, gave it to the world. there need but a mention of the famous character to arouse an interest.
 Rallies set a mark in book circles seldom equaled by any robber knight of fiction. Robin Hood, Claud Duval or even our late local knight of the road, Jesse James, all well advertised separators, have never quite equalled the popularity with the reader that Rallies enjoyed when he flashed like a meteor across the clear sky of his literary hour.
 Rallies appealed because he robbed the rich to give to the poor. There is no more popular theme than that founded upon the fleecing of the rich. The gentleman crook created by

if Ransford and Charles Easton in their search for the mysterious as- sailants of the old Oscar Davison, the towns richest man, who had been cruelty beaten and robbed of several thousand dollars
 It all seemed plausible, for had not Ransford, the nester's candidate, beaten Charlie Easton, the cattleman $ favorite, for the office of sheriff of the county. And Easton had taken his defeat in such a temper that he had refused his successful rivals gen. erous offer to continue as first deputy a post which Easton had held under Pop Atwood with unusual credit to himself and the office.
 Breathlessly the crowd hung on his words, as Hartley described the kill ing. They had made camp on the desert after hard days ride, and Easton's temper had been on edge He had. snarled and cursed at the un- armed sheriff and then after an ex- change of blows in which Ransford had been dazed by the blow in the jaw, Easton had shot his opponent twice as he was struggling to rise This was all Hartley had seen for he had been driven at the point of a gun to his tethered mount and withou, taking time to saddle up, had fled fol Pyramid, every moment expecting a bullet from Easton's gun would check his mad dash.
 The entire county was aroused by Hartleys story and the supervisors voted a reward of s1,O00 for Eastor dead or alive. A posse was formed and, armed to the teeth, began 6 search for the former deputy. How Charlie Easton, hunted by the law succeeded in bringing two villains tC justice and escaping the moose him self is the big surprise of this lates Triangle drama of life in the cattle | country.

LAMARA

Henry B. Walthall will occupy the screen at the Lamara for the next three days beginning today. appear ing in his premier Paralta play His Robe of Honor" The announcement that Walthall had joined the Paralta forces has caused an almost never ending request for the date of his first appearance in the city and the name of the first release. There is not an actor on the screen today who excels Walthall in the character studies of the more extreme emo- tional and dramatic nature. His en- tire career reveals a chain of suc- cesses which embraces many won derful studies.
 In the present offering he is cast for the role of young lawyer, dis honest, disreputable and absolutely devoid of honor. He is a tool in the hands of powerful political machine and agency of graft. But under the guidance of the loce of good wo- man, he awakens to his sense of duty, and his determination to throw off the shackles of the politicians and to become man of honor forms the
