 actor who made such a pronounced hit in The Brute Breaker is appear ing in this screen version of The Ped dler," remembered as a very enter taining mystery story published re- gently in the Saturday Evening Post
 The Peddler of Lies is first of all a mystery story, combining an element of hilarity and jocular good nature that crops out throughout the romance which develops naturally into a very appealing love story
 The action is for the most part con- fined to a fashionable watering place in a noted summer resort. and winds it. self about at least five people. The outstanding character is the peddler" who arrives from seemingly nowhere. mounted on a numbering government truck, and who invades the exclusive grounds of millionaires' residences with his big conveyance loaded with every imaginable ''plebefan" accessory. His quaint appearance and his out of place" bearing excites suspicion, which suspicion leads to the entangIement which results in the pronounced ele- ment of mystery which pervades the entire production.
 The added program Is a Christie comedy, which will also run for the two days engagement.
 "The Sea WoIF' at Strand
 For the final showings today, the strand is offering George H. Melford's master production '.The Sea Wolf" adapted from Jack London's world famed story of the same name
 In this picture, Melford with his characteristic strokes of broad treat ment has reached the zenith of realism, especially in the scenes which stand out in the story with particular em- phaisis. He shows with gripping Feali- ty the ramming of a ferry boat by an ocean liner, the mad scramble for safety of the panic crazed passengers, the rescue of Humphrey and the hero inc by "the ghost" the abiding place Of the sea wolf" a brutal skipper whose cruelty had spread the length and breadth of the entire ocean, and the adventures of these two strangely met people who fell the victims to the wolfs" inhuman treatment. The sud- den change in the plans of fate which made the wolf a weakling, and made the weakling a man of virile power and remarkable strength. is all brought out in the picture with the same natu- ralness and intensity as London wrote into this, perhaps his greatest and most widely read story.
 Tomorrow starts the engagement of Lew Cody in The Butterfly Man
