1.-THE Roaring Road"

A story of incident, depending large
ly for it's material upon the speeding
of motor cars on the race-track and
against a fast train, 1.-THE Roaring
Road" is too d~isjointd to be classified
as drama, though it contains an inter
esting and humorous clash of charact-
er between a spirited young auto
salesman, played by Wallace Reid and
an equally spirited old employer, adj
mirably portrayed by Theodore Rob
erts. The sensational feature of the
Paramount production is a marvellous
ly well depicted race between the low
er in a racing car an dthe father kid
mapping his own daughter in fast eX-
perss from Los Angeles to San Fran
cisco. Some explanatory subtitles en-
nance the effect. Frequent lapses in
story interest up to the race and the
forcing of situations for the hero's
benefit cause it to drag at intervals,
but tn final race itself c~ompensates,
as it is taken from new and attractive
viewpoints and fine ame work
makes it thrillingly realistic.
Alice Joyce will appear in "The
Captains Captain" at the Maui Thea
ter next week in her latest Vitagraph
picture. Special interest is attached
to her appearance in this picture mas
much as it marks her debut as a
coincidence. In the past Miss Joyce
has appeared largely in heavy drama
tic roles. Here, however, she is seen
as a young society girl who comes to
live with her old uncle, a store keep
er in a fishing village. The old gentle
man, Uncle Abe, making a final bid
for fame among the townsfolk has
long RECALLED them with stories of an
imaginary pirate brother whom he
calls Am'zon and who, he tells them,
has for many years sailed the seven
sea plundering and pilaging.
When Louise Grayling (Miss Joyce)
hears these wild tales of her uncle's
she Immediately put the right con-
struction on them and calls the old
fellows bluff. He is unable to hold
out a defense before her and admits
the falsehood of the whole story. In
a spirit of fun Louise insists that he
must go away for a while and then re-
appear as his brother" and to her
surprise, Cap'n Abe falls in with this
plan. How the joke almost ended in
a tragedy and how Louise, with the
assistance of the mar she loves, man
ages to extricate the old man from his
dangerous position forms a concluding
series of episodes that are highly sus
taining.--Advt.

,ary Burleson, addressing the ~associa-

said the criticism of his administra-

companies who have been injured by
the development of the parcel post;
the railroads, because of changes in
mail pay weight to space magazines
because caused by raised second class

of the refusal to allow postal EN-

THEATERS'
"Vickly Van"

'Ny NN'
Ethel Clayton displays her unexam-
pied versatility in her new picture,
"Vicky Van" Carolyn Wells wrote
the book, which has been one of the
seasons best sellers.
The story concerns a girl who mar
RE a mai old enough to be her father.
She is unhappy, and when she inherits
wealth in her own right, conceals the
fact and secures an adjoining resi-
dence to which she arranges a secret
entrance from her original home. She
goes there whenever her husband is
away and in disguise poses as Vicky
wan, a delightful hostess to a gay bo-
hemian set. Later her husband dis
covers the deception, as does a young
man who has become interested in
the unhappy young wife.
The husband choke5 her in his rage.
Later he is found dead. Many are
suspected, and then Stone enters,
solves the mystery of the dual charac-
ter and the mystery is solved. The
two young people find their happiness
together.
Caught In The Act"
Peggy Hyland, the young Fox star,
whose name is always associated with
the best in popular comedy-drama, will
be the attraction. AS regards plot,
there is not much to tell about Caught
in the Act" Its main essentials are
romance and comedy and while there
is sufficient drama to link these ele'
ments together into an enjoyable
whole, the story, such as it is, counts
for little. 1t is just the Sort of a
feature that is of real entertainment
value in these days.
Miss Hyland plays the role of a
young society girl with her accustom
ed sincerity and vigor and the result
is a distinct character, one that will
long be remembered. She receives
valuable support FROM Leslie AusteI
who appears opposite her as an editor
bent on exposing h rather crooked
practices of her father in the financia
world. OF course the young lady is
unaware of her fathers dishonesty
else she wouldn't be so ready to re
ceive the attentions of the editor. Blu
only after the romance has progress
ed apace does she find it out and theI
it is too late. And so then father has
to reform.
