BOOSTING the circulation of the
X newspaper owned by his old
- college chun. Wallace Reid,
playing the star role in. THE Lot
terry Man" at the Strand, offers him
self as a husband to be won in a
drawing contest run by the paper.
The lucky number is won by poor
and homely relative of the owner
of the paper, but the maid of the
house suddenly appears, denounc-
ing the scheme because the lucky
woman stole her number from the
cookie jar in the pantry. Reid, who
has been in love with Wanda Haw-
ley, his chum's cousin, declares the
contest void, and splits the 100000
proceeds with the butler, who claims
the maid as his fnancee. Wanda
starts to leave the home, but Reid
overtakes her and discovers that
the suitcase she is carrying is full
of chances on the Lottery Man"
They confess their love for each
other and the story ends happily.
Usually one good fight, or at
the most two, are considered suf-
fcient for movie fans. But in "The
Joyous LIAR" which began a four
day run at the Sun yesterday, ].
Warren Kerrigan has three big
fights and a variety of little ones.
One fight is in an abandoned house
against three auto thieves. Another
is slaplbang affair that is almost
as enjoyable to the spectator as to
the hero. The third scrap is with
the police, in which both guns and
fists are used, and the hero steals
the "Black Maria" which has called
ior him, and escapes in that. Humor
and romance vie with the thrill of
adventure and make "The Joyous
Liar" an interesting picture.
OF extraordinary interest, not
only to lovers of the motion picture,
but likewise to all who appreciate
the highest art in its various mani
festations, is David Wark Griffth's
screen creation, Broken Blossoms,
which began full weeks run at the
Rialto Sunday.
There are many significant "bits"
of character in Broken Blossoms"
that have a great deal to do with
creating that atmosphere" through
whicht the true poetic beauty of the
picture is felt One of these dis
plays, street scene in Shanghai,
where two Chinese women are con-
sulting the professional letter writer
whose booth is one of the sights in
all large Chinese cities. He is an
aged student who writes with ar
tistic hand all of the 5000 symbols
of the Chinese alphabet. 1t is so diff
ferent, that no one wants to miss
seeing this, photo-picture.
A drama of the north woods,
vibrant in. vigorous action, is
offered at the Moon theater in "The
Brute Breaker" starring Frank
Mayo and Kathryn Adams. The
story deals with one Louis Gran
taire, who inherits a vast woodland
estate at the death of his father.
Posing as an ordinary lumber-jack,
he goes into the camps to rid them
of the bullying element that has
given the game a black reputation.
he no sooner arrives at the first
camp when trouble starts. He ticks
the worst bully there, then repeats
the same medicine" to the cow
ards at camps 2 and 3. Affairs go
rushingly for Grantaire until he
meets pretty Annette, a girl of the
woods. She admires his strength,
but does not like his tanning meth
DDS. He loves her desperately, but
she scorns his pleas and sends him
away, beaten for the first time, but
the climax, which is fast and dra-
matte, is satisfactory to the spec
tators. "The Brute Breaker" will
remain the stellar attraction at the
Moon theater up to and including
Wednesday night. ,..
