1.-THE Girl in the Web adapted from
the novel "Miss Maitland, Private Sec
retary," is this weeks Offering at B. S.
Moss's Broadway Theater, story re-
detective work, the anguish of dis
appointed love, the weaknesses of the
female bridge gambler, and withal a
vivid perturbation of certain phases
of ultra exclusive family life which is
enacted behind the scenes.
Blanche Sweet as Esther Maitland,
private secretary to the fashionable
Mrs Van Zile Janney, portrayed by
Adele Harrington, goes through several
reels as a victim of circumstances
over which she has no control, and
which result in the creation of strong
suspicion that she has robbed her
mistress Of costly jewelry from the
family safe.
Nigel Barrie, owner of an estate adj
joining the Janney home, falls in love
with Esther and makes it his particular
business to vindicate her Of the charge,
AS an amateur detective he discovers
a cigar label and traces the theft to
the valet of Chapman Price, son-in-
law Of the Janneys. 1t is Mrs. Prices
bridge debts which open the food
gates of family tragedy and scandal
and the Wallets passion for imported
cigars which furnishes the clews upon
which Esther's innocence Is subse-
quently worked out, as the stolen
jewelry and cigars had been "banked''
in the same safe. Family misunder,
standings are cleared, kidnapping
frustrated, murder forestalled, and
a humble private secretary taken into
the arms of highly eligible social
lion.
"Movie Madness" comedy picture,
with the Hall Room Boys, and an
organ solo are other features.
"Humoressue," enjoying run never
equaled on Broadway by a motion pic

At the Astor Theater the motion pic
ture depicting the trials of two men

attempting to get to safety after being
suddenly cast ashore in wilderness.
The type of production and the act
ing contained in "The Fighting
Chance" the Robert W. Chambers
novel now being shown for the first
time on the screen at the Rialto Thea
ter, no doubt is something such as
Booth HARRINGTON had in mind when
he said recently that the motion picture
would develop new art" Surely
nothing has been shown in New York
theatcrs recently which can be said
to surpass this photoplay directed by
Charles Maigne and having as its prin-
cipals Anna @. Nilsson and Conrad
Nagle.
The book, "The Fighting Chance"
perhaps one of the most widely read
of Chambers's novels, is filled with the
subtle propaganda FOR stick to- tive
ness and bearing throughout the
thread of logic that makes men see that
a cause worth fighting for is worth dy-
ing for. In picture form the work will
be found by many to be almost as i'm
pressive and as gripping as in Mr.
