Loew's Palaee-Marguerite Ciark.itn
Luck In Pawn Ss3
There Is some justice and balance
in the old world after all On the one
hand we have the II. C. OF l., strikes
and other affllctions to worry us, ana
on the other. we are given toy-bring-
ing folks like Marguerite Clark TO
mako us forget our troubles. Miss
Clark has been displaying her charm
Ing talents on the screen for several
years now in a wide variety Of roles.
Lately she has been confning her
efforts to light romantic comedy. II
Luck In Pawn" her latest offering,
which came TO Loew's Palace yester-
day for weeks run. Is any criterion
our personal vote is that Miss Clark
VIII continue to appear In this type OF
drama the rest of her movie life.
Don't look for anything. profound or
thought-compelling Luck In Pawn
1t Is Just whimsical little love story
for entertainment purposes only. An
mabel Lee. q country girl with iambi-
tons to be an artist, is furnished the
money by her mother for q course in
art in the city. She. goes to q fash
ionable summer hotel to ask noted
painters opinion of her work. and is
told that she can never hope to be-
come great artist. As she is about
to leave discouraged. she is approach
ed by a very rich young man. who
sees In her a welcome contrast to the
a 1Sft al fAll NM n q
him for his money. A pretty romance
springs up between the two. Aided by
Ia kind-hearted pawnbroker, she be-
comes the guest Of her admirer and his
mother at the hotel, and. despite the
efforts of designing dowager to dis
credit the girl, she finds happiness at
the end.
There is something appealing and
sparkling about Miss Clark's perform
afices that are mighty hard to describe
and easy to watch. Luck in Pawn"
has its share of this whimsical quality
that makes the kiddies sit goggle-eyed
and the grandfathers smile in SYM
pathy. No wonder they call her the
sweetest girl in pictures"
Mabel Taliaferro played the role OF
Annabel Lee when Luck in Pawn"
was presented in its original form as
a stage play in New York. To screen
lovers. however, the part seems to
have been made to order for the de-
lightful little person of Marguerite
Clark. Charles Meredith is a pleasant
looking young man more than ordi-
narily qualified to act the role of the
jaded millionaire.
The feature is finely amplified py a
number OF added hits, and Director
Cannon. OF the Palace Symphony Or
chestra. has chosen Rossini's Semi
ramide" as the overture selection.

Loew's Columbia-Dorothy Gish, In
Turning the Tables,

The picture at Loew's Columbia
Theater Is all Dorothy Gish, but that
is quite sufficient. This lively little
star has developed the knack Of being
side-splittingly funny to perfection
and as a screen comedienne of a new
and delightful type she stands alone.
Turning the Tables" which began a
four-day run at the Columbia yester-
day, her latest vehicle. is quite few
steps this side of the custard pie school
of picture comedy, but in rapid-fre
fun il rivals some of the old-timers
that Charlie Chaplin used to make.
The Little Disturber" of Turning
the Tables" is a healthy disturber.
though we don't go to a Gish picture
to be edited. Turning the Tables
is above everything jolly entertain
ment. The plot Is largely Dorothy.
so it doesn't make much difference
what it's about. But for the sake
of those who are fussy about such
things be is said that Miss Gish Is i
poor-little-rich-giri heiress who lives
with a maiden aunt. The aunt has
the annoying habit of appropriating
come of Dorothy's funds for her own
use and is also under the charm of
a fake spiritualist medium When
Dorothy falls in love with the good
looking but weak-kneed young man
next door and seems about to dis
cover that she Is being syste-
matically robbed. the aunt has her
clapped into a sanitarium through the
Kindness OF q shady doctor.
There the young man, the aunt, ard
the medium follow her. Dorothy in
the meantime has appropriated a
nurses costume and is posing as an
angel of mercy among the mentally
sick. She succeeds in having the aunt
led into a cell. and when matters get
too hot she and her young man tIee
the place. with the youth, reclaimed
to manhood by vivacious Miss Gish,
bowling his trainer over en- route.
Miss Gish has same expert helm in
Turning the Tables" Good-looking
Raymond Cannon is again her lead
ing man. and the grand old man of
the cinema, George Fawcett, is funny
just to look at as Professor Freno
Eugene Besserer and Kate Toncray
are also in the cast, and talented
young Elmer Clifton directed the pic
ture. 1t is well worth spending an
evening. including the war tax,
watching.
The picture is splendidly suppIe-
mented by number OF unusually
nne subsidiary attractions.

SUNDAY THEATER OPENINGS

offer unusual studies In modern pi-
racy and are vividfy pictured.
{ The chief feature Of the splendid
bill arranged for yesterday and to-
day Is the picturization of Avery
Hopwood's scintillant comedy, Fair
and Warmer" with May Allison

Wheeler a complete review Of which

CrandaIl's-ssThe Children in the
House,
The question of domestic rela-
tionships has always been a prolific
source OF Interesting drama. Prob
ably never has the subject been
more effectively utilized than in
The Children in the House" in
which Norma Talmadge was
screened at Crandall's Theater yes
terday. Miss Talmadge is always
a delightful figure upon the silver
sheet, but In her present vehicle
rather transcends all of the earlier
triumphs that have punctuated her
brilliant career.
The narrative disclosed through
the medium of pictured incident
concerns the life problem of a young
woman who married the wrong man.
She had an opportunity to marry
the right one, but was induced by
socially ambitious parents to be-
come the wife of the man with
money instead OF the man with
character. Driven to desperation
by her husbands dissoIute life, and
the fact that he was held fast in
the net of q relentless siren, Cora
Vincent appealed to her Tilted suitor
for sympathy and aid. His sugges-
tion was an elopement. At the ap-
pointed hour for her fight with the
man she has always loved, her two
children rushed to her room for
protection from a violent storm
Awakened to her duty by the pleas
of her little ones the burdened wife
abandons her purpose and deter
mines to endure her lot. Fate takes
hand, however. and happiness
comes Unexpectedly to the woman
whose better judgment has pre-
vailed.
The bill arranged for the first
three days of the week Is completed
by the customary array of WELL
chosen subsidiary features both pic
torial and musical.

There Is something fascinating about

pecially when he performs his labors

LIT. d. B. McRAE LANDS AT NEW
YORK FROM OVERSEAS.

Lieutenant D. B. McRae, commonly
known as "Bennie," reached New
York on Wednesday from overseas.
He will be discharged from service
there and will probably be home in a
few days. This popular young man
has been absent from home ever since
the outbreak Of the Mexican trouble
and his friends are all exceedingly
anxious to have him back again.
Laurel feels very proud of this soldier
boy, who although extremely young,
has risen to the rank of lieutenant,
having entered the service as pri-
Sate. He received his commission
while in France. This makes the fifth
and last of the McRae boys to return
from service, Mrs. McRae having con-
tributed five brave soldier sons to the
cause. She is justly proud that they
are all soon to be with her again, safe
and well.-Laurel Daily Leader.
