At the Snencer Snnare.

Douglas Fairbanks makes his re-
appearance as odd Doc Cheerful
in THE knickerbocker Buckaroo"
which will be shown at the Spencer
Square theatre next Wednesday FOR
four days. The moral OF this story
is that doing something for some
body is a worthy and laudable am
bition, but that unselfishness can
sometimes be carried too far, and
unless guided by calm judgment,
may bring the unselfsh one results
he doesn't expect, and. secondly,
that the proper place to start any
reconstruction in character is at
home.
Douglas plays the part of Teddy
Drake, wealthy New Yorker. VINO
decides that his life is all wrong be-
cause OF his selfish qualities, and
series Of amusingly complicated

At the Fifth Avenue.

Viola Dana, versatile little Metro
star, who will be seen in the COM
edy drama, THE Gold Cure" at the
Fifth Avenue theatre today, is an
adept in the art Of wearing trou-
serS.
In Blue Jeans" her screen mas
terpiece, it will be remembered
that she appeared ii a pair of over
all5 which almost hid her from
view while in Opportunity" she
dons mems clothes so as to be able
to attend a prize fight which she
had determined to see. In THE
Gold Cure" however, she has no
selfish ends in view when she ap-
pears in a pair of her father
trousers. This time it is to rescue
an innocent young man who is il
legally detained in a sanitarium-
Her many adventures while &C
complishing her ends show that
the trousers were, in this case, a
necessity.
Miss Dana is a young actress of
great versatility and is just as
charming in her comedy charact-
ers as in the more emotional roles.
This play is a happy combination
of the two parts which gives her
an opportunity to display her I'M
deniable talents in both directions.
An unusual feature of Miss
Dana's new picture, is that she has
two leading men, John MCGOWAN
and William B. Davidson, both
well known to screen and stage
audiences.

At Brotman's RiaIto.

A telling satire on the imitation
Bohemianism OF certain faddists
found in the art slums Gf1arge
cities is Margarita Fishers new
American-Mutual photodrama, "A
SQUARE Deal" showing at Brot-
mans Rialto tomorrow, wherein
the character of the long-haired
Individuals" is revealed to the
heroine OF the piece, Alice ellison,
after she had become convinced of
has NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and devotion
to high ideals.
Miss Fisher portrays young
woman whose reading has been of
the chaotic sort which often leads
90 erotic trends of thought She
abandons her comfortable home to
consoFt with a crew of male and
female highbinders in a so-called
art colony, forcing her husband to
leave her because of her sentimen-
tai affair with a worthless poseur
named Peyton LemOyne.
Miss Fishers portrayal of the
gIadual awakening that brings
Alice Gibson back to her sober
senses and to the arms of her pa
tient young husband is mastery.
1t is one of Miss Fishers highest
emotional flights and she handles
the difficult role with great skill.
Supporting Miss Fisher in the
leading male role is Jack Mower,
who plays the young husband most

AT THE PALACE

Harry Garsons extraordinary screen
production. '"rhe objectionable Sim
starring Blanche Sweet, under the per
sonal direction of Marshall Neilan,
shows at the Palace theatre today.
THE objectionable Sin" will unques-
tionably attract to the Palace theatre
a class of patrons which have hereto
fore been inclined to scoff at the NOV
ing picture as a means of telling a dra-
matte story. Reviews of the picture
which have been printed in other cities
emphasize the fact that here is one of
the few photoplays ever produced that
starts out to do something and does
it," One situation follows another in as
logical manner as was ever accomp-
iShed on the speaking stage, where the
human voice was available as an agen-
cy to tell those out in front just what
might reasonably be expected, and the
whole action moves without break or
interruption to its final and most pow
erful climax.
In no sense is The objectionable
Sin" a preachment. 1t is an absorbing
tale of love and adventure, with Incl
dents of the world war as back
ground And yet. those seriously inclin-
ed. will find from the manner in which
the action is presented, much of phil
osophical nature to interest them. The
titles for the big production are clev-
er combination of the clear. straight
forward statements which help the ac-
ton of the story and footnotes from; the
writings of Nietzsche the mad Europe
an philosopher whose doctrines are
! said to have largely contributed to the
horrors of the recent conflagration on
the other side of the Atlantic. just
| how impossible were the crooked brain
and how terrible would be the final re
suits were these teachings followed
are indelibly impressed by this remark
able picture.
