Moore's Strand asrhe Brute
Breaker"

The Brute Breaker" a Universal
photodrama with Frank Mayo and
Kathryn Adams sharing honors in
the leading roles. opened at Moore's
Strand Theater yesterday for a
weeks engagement.
Novel in situation and new In ham
ding. the film story deals with a
young chap who inherited a vast
estate in the North Woods. As an
ordinary lumbertack, he sets out
to clean up the sin-ridden lumber
camps. By breaking the cowardly
spirit of several OF the buIIies he
wins the title of Brute Breaker"
The conquest, in SO far as his heart
is concerned, is not so easy. He is
nearly beaten in the battle for the
love of a girl of the north country
who resents his aggression. After
the manner of all pleasing photo
dramas, however, the story comes
to a satisfactory climax.
As Louis Grantaire, Frank Mayo
is an admirable hero. while pretty

Loew's Palace - Ethel Clayton, In
"More Deadly Than the MaIe,o

1t was a diverting mixture of rnelo-
drama and light comedy with which
Ethel Clayton entertained at Loew's
Palace Theater yesterday where her
new picture. More Deadly Than the
Male" opened a weeks run. The title
Is. Of course, from Rudyard Kipling's
famous commentary upon "the female
Of the species" and the impulse after
seeing the film is to agree with the
distinguished poet, especially when
such lovely person as Miss Clayton
is seeking to prove it
For four reels it has rather the an
pearance Of a grim melodrama, for IL
includes a duel to the death, the BURST
ing Of a dam. and an exciting battle
with the harbor police. In all these
incidents Miss Clayton figures as an
allur1ng adventures, but somewhat of
vampire. When you are about ready
to conclude that the pretty star makes
an extremely nice person by whom
10 be lured, but that 1t is rather a dis
agreeable trick she is playing on the
zero. a startling twist and a few judi
cious revelations show that 1t is all a
trlck on the part Of Miss Clayton to
inouce this wealthy clubman-hero Of
ners to abandon his plans to 60 to
africa In search Of adventure. You
see sne has more than sufficiently
demonstrated that more exciting ex-
periences can be found at home.
we can't imagine any film luminary
who could better impersonate the
nlgh-spiHted heroine of this picture
than Miss Clayton. She enters into
the spirit Of the bold adventure with
Just the right degree Of vivaciousness

In the brave old claptrap melo-
dramas that the movies have SO
largely displaced there was always
a ine saving tone of triumphant
virtue that made them wholesome.
The Man Who Came Back" play
ing a return engagement at the
Belasco Theater this week. Is q
melod.an,a Of a more modern and
sophisticated type. but along with
some of the faults of the old-time
kind IL also retains that funda-
mental merit of a bracing NOR
ality. In fact. virtue triumphant
over the powers of evil Is the very
essence Of the tale. There is no
villain to be hissed from the gal
lery, but the dark plots that used
to be foiled are represented. with
a more lifelike touch. In the weak
nesses and passions OF the hero
and heroine
The play Is about the money
spoiled son of q Wall street mag
nate, who is cast off by his father
and sinks through the drink route
to the deep degradation of a Shang-
hal beachcomber. In a Shanghai
opium den he finds the wreck of a
womsh whom he had loved in San
Francisco. and whose love for him
had driven her to the depths. The
shock turns him at last from the
path Of selfish indifference to de-
cency, and the pair find salvation in
a mutual trust and love that leads
them safely through temptations to
the haven of success and parental
forgiveness.
Jules Eckert Goodman, who made
the play from a story by John F1en-
ing Wilson. has framed It UP in a
free romantic spirit, not taking his
task too seriously, but aiming to be-
sprinkle the plot with plenty Of
thrills and surprises. The lines are
plausible enough so long IS plausi-
bflity doesn't stand IN the way of a
good sensation There Is a sufficiency
of sentiment uttered in the good old
heroic manner. and some humorous
touches that are rich and genuine.
The cast Is for the most part very
good The players are nearly all COM
petent to speak and act naturally. and
they do SO in the current Of ordinary
events, but whenever a thrill or a high
emotion arrives they feel 1t necessary
to strike the note Of inflated heroics

essential convention for this kind of
