FOX S THE ATEI.

"Pitfalls of d Big City," the big Fox melodrama is the attraction at FoX's tonight.
 An astonishingly vivid relodrama of underworld life is offered in the Wm Fox picture "Pitfalls of a Big City," featuring Gladys BrOckWell. Of course dramas of crooks and the underworld arc a frequent occurrence on the screen. But Pitfalls of a Big City, was made under exceptional cirCum- stances and the people concerned in it's production are some of the best in the picture art For instance. the story was read and approved by several New York neWspapermen be- fore, it went into production. This in- sured a realism that cannot be obtain ed in any other way. Furthermore, the author, Bonnet R. Cohen, based his scenario on facts provided by po- lice records. Here again is realism assured. Then when it is considered that Gladys Brockwell. one of the leading emotional actresses on the screen today, takes the star part of M oily Moore. and such able players as Wm. Scott, William Scheer and Al FrcemOn. the true worth of the story may perhaps be realized. "Pitfalls Of
