Moore's RiaIto Theater-sThe Love
That Dares.-

A story ever new, ever heart-grip-
ping, ever vital as a link In the pro-
gress and well-being of society, is the
story Of a wife's devotion and OF the
sacrifices which this devotion will
undergo in behalf of a loved husband.
1t is such a story that Madame
Traverse. the featured star in William
Fox's photodrama, THE Love that
Dares." which forms the chief attrac-
ton 1T Moore's Rialto Theater this
week. is called upon to depict.
Miss Traverse gives a very notable
portrayal and. judging from the re-
ception accorded her by capacity
audiences, this delightful emotional
actress is increasing her popularity
among motion picture patrons with
every new release.
The story itself ls an exceptionally
strong one and gives the entire cast
an opportunity to register their dra-
matte ability. Olive Risdon as played
by Miss Traverse refused to marry
Ned Beckwith, a gay millionaire, be-
cause she loved Perry Risdon.
The wife's extravaganza soon brings
her husband near TO financial ruin.
The husband has always given his
wife everything and never questioned
her continued friendship with Beck
with.
The wife's discovery that her folly
has brought them to the verge of
ruin, her endeavors to correct her
mistakes and assist her husba nd
thereby placing herself in a uues-
tionable situation with Beckwith.

sacrifice to save her husband and the
husbands misinterpretation of her in
tent A sensational fight between
Risdon and Beckwith eliminating in
a confession by the wife and Risdon's
final realization Of the great sacrifice
his wife was willing to make for him,
all furnish the material for a tense,
thrilling. complete performance from
the first to the last scene.
Beautiful settings and uniformly
excellent photography also serve to
maintain this show as worthy of the
high standard set by the Rialto.

the first four days of this week as the
feature OF the photoplay bill at
Moore's Strand Theater.
The play abounds in thrills Of the
well-known Farnum sort. and is
STEPPED in the atmosphere of the

certainly is quite as tropical as IL the
work actually had been done on the
dark continent.
There Is a strong and predominant
love theme running through the en-
tire play. based on the rivalry of two
New Workers for the hand of young

The action, however. after the first
scenes Is largely in Africa. and nu-
merous thrills are introduced in con-
sequence of the attempts on the life

Magnificent sets and hundreds of
extra people are used in several
scenes. Mr.. Farnum Is ably supported

Against Gambling in Ser

THE man who starts out to gamble
Is barking up a hollow tree. open at

the noted evangelist of Winona Lake
and Birmingham, at the Y. NJ. c. A
meeting at the Liberty Hut yesterday
afternoon. The auditorium was well
filled. DIR. Stuart's subject was
Keep the Law" and at times his au-
dience roared with laughter at his hu-
morous and homeiy expressions. The
speaker described the duel between
''Old Hickory" jackson and Dickson
as a model of courage. and said,
when from the battlefelds men come
to tell of great heroes. l will remind
you that there Is a greater man-the
man who will stand up for the right
In the face OF public criticism. Thank
God for a man who will face the can
non of public opinion"
DIR. Stuart told of his night against
gamblers in Chattanooga.
DIR. Stuart contended that the only
lasting good that could come to a
life was that which comes through
right living.
There is no genuine prosperity in
this life or in the life to come ex-
cept that which is founded in the
law of God" he said. THE law OF
God builds a fence around the sink
hole to keep you from falling in.
The young man or the young wom-

them out of the good things of life
and they jump through to find them
selves failures. You can't make a

The speaker said that when thirty
years ago he had attacked the liquor
trafic he stood alone in his fight
but hailed the day when the country
would go dry.

CrandaIPs-PauIine Frederick.

One of the strangest bargains ever
conceived by the brain of an ingenious
playwright. is made in Pauline Fred
orick's new picture. "One Week OF
Life" shown at Crandalrs yesterday
and held over also as the attraction
for today.
1t Is adapted from the story by
Cosmo Hamilton and arranged for
the screen by Willard Mack, and his
unfailing dramatic sense brings out
all the values OF a striking story
which involves Miss Frederick in two
characterizations.
She is first seen as Mrs. Kingsley
sherwood, bored alike with her society
life and her hypochondriac husband.
AS usual. there is another man. The
woman frankly voices her desire to
steal away and spend "a week of life"
with the man she loves, but conven-
uons will not allow it.
At this point. the man meets a
charming girl of highest principles,
Marion Roche who startling resem-
blance to Mrs. Sherwood. causes him
to suggest that she act as her substi-
tute In the household for the seven
day period.
He explains to the girl that Mrs.
sherwood Is prevented from visiting
her sick child in the country through
the cruel restrictions of her husband,
and thus playing on the girls sym
pathies. gains her consent to the ar
rangement.
From this situation is developed a
story that at times reaches the heights
OF drama, Is never dull, and gives
fresh evidences of the versatility of
Miss Frederick's talents. Thomas
Holding, sydney Ainsworth. and Cor
rine Zarker, make up the supporting
cast.
