and Broadway, which accords Miss
Thomas easily one of the finest and
photoplay career.
In Darling Mine Miss Thomas is
seen as a captivating lass OF Erin who
wouldn't be bad and simply couldn't
be good. She emigrates from Ireland
to America at the death of her grand
father and then enters the world Of
the theater into which she brings the
radiance of youth and the glad, clean
philosophy of her own spotless girl

until real love springs up between
her and the man who has given her
chance before the footlights.
with her sunny philosophy and her
charming, radiant youthfulness, the
girl becomes the solace and comforter
of her associates. but one misunder-

MOORE'S RIALTO.

How a city youth who wouldn't take a
dare def,ed an entire community united
in condemnation of defenseless girl
for whom the fates had provided moth
ing better than a memory OF a dis
tressing early life, serves as the basis
for the story told In "The Fighting

tion of Caroline Lockhart's celebrated
book of the same name, as presented
by the First National Exhibitors at

Larry Semon in a ridiculous absurd

behind the scenes and entitled THE
Stage Hand" contributes a supplement
tary feature OF the splendid bill that
is productive OF roars OF laughter.
Tom Moore has never had upon
the screen more congenisl role
than that of "Wint' Chase. the small
town waster. who through political
trick planned by an enemy OF his
fathers defeated his pater for the Of
fice OF mayor of the city.
The senior Chase had made his
nght on a bone-dry platform, but in
printing the ballots "Jr." was ap-
pending to his name. so that his son
easily the most bibulous young man
in the community won Ve election.
Surprised into sobriety he decides
to win back the esteem OF his father
by making a real record as mayor.
The town finds itself suddenly con-
frontcd with necessity OF obeying the
law. The lid is clamped down tight.
And "Wint" Chase is man.
With this fabric OF political trick
cry and turmoil for background,
The Great Accident" weaves a tale
OF tender romance and mother love
that exerts more than a few vigorous
tugs at the heartstrings. and occa-
sionally reaches those depths OF
pathos to which the tears are very
near. The production Is one that re-
fleets faithfully the charming aspect
OF life in a small American city and
the cast has been chosen with rare
discretion.
Tom Moore has never done better
work than in the role OF the drunk
en- young rounder who pulled himself
together and realized his fathers loft
lest ambitions for him. Andrew Rob-
son in the role OF the senior Chase
offers an equally effective character
study, and willard Louis is especially
skillful in his delineation of the
crafty politician who knows all the
tricks of the great American game.

marred by the evident lack OF knowl-
