in q cyclonic masterpiece of six
reels, called The Knickerbocker
Buckaroo." It Is in such pictures
as The Knickerbocker Buckaroo"
that Fairbanks seems to find his
best medium of expression and
for more than . solid hour, he
literally plunges from one escapade
to another at q speed that dazzles the
eye and astounds the intellect.
In this picture. Fairbanks is film-
ed as a restless Manhattan youth
who sets southwest for q course
in adventure. He finds IL at .

deliberately changing clothes with
a sheriff hunted bandit. leading the
sheriff a mad. daredevil chase, to
collide. half way through the pic
ture, with romance in the shape of
a beautiful lady who Is prosecuted
by some bold. bad men. From that
point on. in the story. Doug plays
fast and loose with his antagonists
and winds UP with virtue and ener-
getic youth triumphant and all
hands happy as q wedding bell.

Moore's Rialto-sThe Red Lantern, !,
Mime. ALA Nazimova, the gifted
Russian actress. has eclipsed all her
previous work in THE Red Lantern, 4"
the principal offering this week at
Moore's Rialto. The picture is doubly
notable for the magnificence of its
settings.
The star plays a dual role. She is
seen as Mahlee, a Eurasian girl in
whom the qualities of the white and
yellow races are strangely blended.
She Is in love with a white man. She
refuses to believe that yellow blood
will stand in the way Of her hap-
piness until 1t is brought home to
her. Then. in fierce hatred of the
white race. she joins the Boxer cause,
and leads them in their effort to
onst all foreigners from China. She
impersonates the Goddess of the Red
Lantern in one OF the most remark
able night scenes ever filmed.
Nazimova's work is always wonder
full, but in the dual roles of Mahlee
and her English half sister-born of
the same father. but of a white
mother-she excels even herself. The
contrast between the two girls is so
remarkable that it is difficult indeed
to realize that both are Nazimova.
Never has her art been more wonder
fully demonstrated than in this pic
ture. Great credit too must be given
the splendid supporting cast.

The chief feature Of the bill was
The Partisan Tigress," a film drama
OF artist life in Paris in which the
title role Is played with surprising
facility by Viola Dana. whose screen
tasks heretofore have been of a less
exacting nature.
In this subject Miss Dana plays with
admirable discretion and a keen sense
Of the dramatic possibilities Of the role,
the part Of q waif who falls into the
clutches Of an Apache whose chief
aim Is to convert every asset at his
command into money.
The scheme Of having Jeanne i'm
personate a missing heiress suggests
itself as an easy road to wealth and
with the aid Of an unscrupulous ar
tist Is put into effect.
The climax of the story Il reached
when Jeanne proves to be In fact the
girl whose identity she was compelled
against her will to assume.
In Miss Dana's support are pictured
Darrell Foss. Henry Kolker, Edward
Connolly. Louis barclay, Clarissa
Selwynne and many others of notable
attainment on both the stage and the
screen.
The production IL one that takes
rank with the finest of Metros ac-
conpIishments and the photography
adds immeasurably to the artistic ef-
fectiveness Of a screen subject that
abounds in unique touches. The same
bill will be repeated at the Knicker-
booker today.

feature of the bill at Crandall's The

Crandalrs Avenue Grand-"one OF

The thrilling adventures that be-
fell likeable young mounted police
man detailed to exercise a guardian
vigilance over certain precincts IN San
Francisco's Golden Gate Park. and the
love affair that resulted from his ar
rest OF a beautiful young heiress for
speeding her racing car across his
beat. held the rapt attention of
capacity audiences at Crandalrs Aven-
ue Grand Theater yesterday. where
the feature Of the photoplay bill was
"One of the Finest" in which the
stellar role is taken upon the screen
by Tom Moore.
In this subject Moore has one Of the
breeziest and most genuinely enter
tanning vehicles of his career before
the camera. His portrayal of the
young Irishman whom the offended
victim of his devotion to duty de-
termined to break" is marked by
naturalness. geniality and poise.
The melodramatic scenes leading to
the climax of the story are not over
accented and the intervals devoted to
a particularly agreeable sort of spon-
taneous comedy are given full value
as essential respites from the high
tension at which the more important
episodes are played. Seena Owen is
especially effective in the role oposite

The bill yesterday was completed by
the usual supplementary films and or
chestral accompaniment.

, Moors's strand-"His Debt"
An unusually strong picture is "His
Debt" n which Sessue Hayakawa is
appearing the FIRST part of this week
at Moore's Strand Theater Hayaka-
wa In this latest release scores the
biggest hit Of his entire career. and
delineates one Of the strongest roles
II has been his fortune to play since
he first appeared before the camera.
His Debt" tells the story Of a Jap
anese gambler-a man to whom VEN
geance Is a duty. according to the
Buddhist religion. His life Is at
tempted by a white man, and true to
his code. the japanese gambler sets
about to win his revenge. He plots
carefully, and finally his plans are
complete. He is ready to strike. and
has his victim powerless-but is
cheated OF his vengeance after all
1t is a plot that calls for the great
est artistry on Hayakawa's part. To
say he fulfills the task is but mild
praise for the way in which the noted
Nipponese screen star plays the role
OF the gambler.
The usual shorter film subjects and
synchronized orchestral accompani-
ment are added features on a pro-
gram of unusual excellence.

crandaIrs ApoIIo-"Capt. Kidd. Jr.-

CrandalPs ApolIo-"Capt. Kidd, Jr.-
Yesterdays audiences at Crandall's
Apollo Theater were afforded photo
play entertainment of far more than
average merit by a bill OF which the
most important feature was Captain
Kidd. Jr.". in which the stellar role
is taken with consummate art and
complete charm by Mary Pickford.
In this. her most recent release for
Aircraft, Miss Pickford again dis
plays those manifold talents that
have made her the most famous as
well as the most popular star upon
the screen.
She is ably assisted in making
Captain Kidd. Jr." one of the inn
portant camera achievements Of the
year by a supporting cast of stellar
excellence and production that
maintains Artcraft's reputation for
painstaking attention to detail. The
story is whimsical one which in
its effective telling enlists the serv-
ices of a wonderful parrot and a PAM
pered goat, both of which add much
comedy to the scenes in which they
appear.
The bill. which will be repeated to-
night, was completed by abbreviated
camera subjects Of varied interest and
orchestral accompaniment.

CrandnIrs savoy-"Capt. Kidd, Jr


Mary Pickford again demonstrated
the completeness of hep command
over all of the devices of ingenious
impersonation at Crandalls Savoy
Theater yesterday, when she fur
nished the feature of the photoplay
bill as star of her latest release for
Aircraft, Captain Kidd. Jr."
In this subject Miss Pickford, whose
attainments upon the screen now are
such as to justify a more dignified
nom de theater than "Our Mary" re-
veals flashes OF an interpretative
power such as have not heretofore
been apparent in the more whimsical
vehicles for her constantly maturing
talents.
While there Is wistfulness and
quality Of youthful diffidence about
much that she does. Captain Kidd,
Jr." more fully than any other pic
ture makes clear the dramatic capa-
bilities Of an actress whose art has
unfortunately been confined to narrow
bounds in the past.
The company filmed in the stars
support is an admirable one and an
inspired parrot and a very black kid
meaning goat, not pickaninny-aid in
lending an element of irresistible hu-
NOR to many scenes.
Short reel subjects and orchestral
accompaniment completed the pro-
gram, which will be repeated tonight.

The right OF a defendant to remove

rated In our statutes. 1t Is not the
subject Of judicial discr elton.
THE question OF determining the ex-
istence of bias and prejudice must be

from the facts and circumstances that
bias and prejudice exist the right to
a removal becomes absolute and discre-
ton cannot be exercised.
Removal OF an action does not imply
that the people cannot have fair and
impartial trial in the newly designated
venue. Neither does It imply in this
case that twelve men could not be found

defendants a fair and impartial trial
Such would be n 81 us indictment of
