MORAL SUICIDE"
 AT THE ALCAZAR
 ALL THIS WEEK
Graphic Film Shows Seven Reels on Problem of Evil With Some
 Tremendous Situations

There is a worthwhile story in Ivan Abramsons recent picture, Moral Sui eide" at the Alcazar all this week, re- leased in seven reels by the Graphic
 Film corporation; but it is hindered from being fully effective by a long and confused introduction, and most
 of all by the use of trivial and unim-' portant things that at times almost ex- cite a smile. However, these melodra- matic touches and incidents that carry what may be termed a popular appeal make it an easy picture to watch. That it is entertaining after the first reel is sure, and it will probably win good measure of popularity.
 The story. dealing with twilight ex- periences and the morbid disintegra- 1 tion of two characters, is quite sane l and wholesome in it's own viewpoint. l There is nothing in it to give offense,
 The interesting thing about the story lis that the father. ably played by John
 Mason, who commits moral suicide in
