as Tom Mix does in "The Untamed,"
the William Fox production at the
Capitol Theater this week, and there Is
surely going to be rousing response.
The splenddly presented film in which
the rough -and-ready "Whistling Dan,"
an adopted sen Of the owner of great
ranch in the Far West. successfully
battles against outlaws when the
safety of the ranchman's daughter is at
stake, stands out as one of those un-
usual productions in which sentiment
is not overdone and in which the real
character of men is portrayed without
Photographic trickery.
"The Untamcd," which is called in
the announcements "Ihe Story of a
Man. Horse and Dog" is especially
interesting to New York audiences.
since there are so few persons in this
city who ever have experienced the
loneliness of a Western ranch and the
principles by which men live out there.
AS realistically produced on the screen
as if you could hear the blows and the
very curses of the outlaw gang leader
is the fight scene shown. After "Whis-
Kate, the ranchman's daughter, to fall
in love with him, there is an attack
by the cattlestealing bands leader
upon the young hero. "Whistling
Dan" is beaten, but the time finally
comes when he meets his enemy. and
not only wins his fight, but through his

life. 1t is then he realizes that

The end is inevitable. And it comes
quite naturally.

We may sec, if we like, just how fast
we are travelling toward ruination, also
just how filled we are with compassion
and goodness, and how certain we are
of going to heaven, ali in one short
hour and a half, placed before us in
actual black and white, with scenes of
our own little old New York to add to
the reality of it, by going to the Lyric
Theatcr this week and viewing "Whie
New \ ork Sleeps" the new William Fox
production, which has opened there for
a two weeks run. 1t is an unusual
photoplay. Unusual for its fine photog-
raphy and for the splendid direction
1t should interest every man, woman
and child in New York, and it is highly
valuable, it seems, from Che educational
standpoint, too.
We see Broadway, with its "crimson
night life" and we see the work of the
city's great institutions Of relief and
aid. We see the gangsters' hangouts
and the great gray skyline of lower

backgrounds to certain parts of the

local color to make it more than an in
tercsting story, and all through the
piece is woven a story that, difficult as
it would be to reproduce in a few
words, is one of excellent conception
and execution
This is new angle in motion picture
production, one that gives us a thrill
ing reproduction of what may be going
on right at that very time all around
us as we watch it unfold itself (pro-
vidcd we see it late enough at night,

US cause for pride in this the worlds
greatest and most beautiful city.
There is action in a weli-regulated
suburban home, then a blackmail thread
is woven into it and connected with the
underworld of the city itself, and
finally fight against warehouse thugs
on the lower East Side. The story is in
epis odes, and the same persons cleverly
portray the characters in all of the diff
fcrent scenes. 1t is one of the READ
motion picture treats Of the season.
There will be matinee and night per-
formanccs daily.
