Excellent Week of
 Features at Eagle And Central Houses

An extremely realistic fire scene in which Vivian Martin is rescued from blazing tenement house forms the climaxof "The Third Kiss" her new Paramount-Artcraft picture, which will. be the attraction at the Central theater today. The scene required the construction of mammoth set representing the slums of great city, including tenement buildings, facto- ries, saloons, and so on.
 According to the story, Miss Martin is imprisoned in the tenement by a half crazed woman, who imagines she has done her an injury and intends to burn her alive for it. She is rescued just in time by Harrison Ford, the leading man in the picture, but not be- fore the audience has been thrilled by one of the best fire scenes ever photographed

ALICE JOYCE STARS IN

TURE-"SLAVES OF PRIDE' '
 An attempt to make the marriaaa state business proposition Is an i'm possible undertaking, according to the dramatic story presented through Vi tagraph's latest feature, Slaves ni Pride" This picture. of which Alice Joyce is star, will be presented at the Central theater Monday, and at the Eagle theater Tuesday.
 Miss Joyce, playing the role of Pa tricia Leeds, is virtually sold by her mother through the form of marriage to Brewster Howard, a wealthy man, in return for the financial reinstate- ment of the girls mother To Howard the marriage is a business proposi- tion. He believes he needs the girl to give a social tone to his household and figure as chatelaine that will bring him into contact with select per. sons.
 He proceeds to make the arrange ment purely one of business and con- venience, devoid of love. But Patricia feels love in her heart and desires above all the fulfillment of love.
 The cold blooded business character of the marriage soon proves doomed to failure. The story weaves it's way through this situation to a surprising climax of semi-tragedy and romance

ROMANTIC WHlM BASIS
 FOR PLOT IN "SET FREE.'

Edith Roberts, who stars in "Set Free" new Bluebird production com ing to the Lyric theater on Tuesday says nothing can lure her back to the stage.
 And no wonder.
 For three years, ever since she started making pictures, 1t has been Miss Roberts ambition to star in 'se rious drama"
 Picture fans will remember Edith Roberts for her clever work in more than half hundred Lyons-Moran comedies and later, when she took to straight drama, her rise to stardom was rapid.
 And in "Set Free" bright, happy play of a girls romantic whim and of how she was won by a practical minded fellow who had sense enough to employ romance to gain his end.
 Every lure that her F years and her exquisite comeliness invests her in in shown to best advantage in this picture, which Director Tod Browning has produced with so much regard for high art and dramatic values. Miss Roberts once was pred to the Big City by Flo Ziegfeld, Jr., whc wanted the piquant cinema star fer his Follies.
 In New York Miss Roberts re hearsed with the other beauties of the Ziegfeldian revue. but her heart hungered for Universal City and the Bluebird studios.

 This was assured when Director Irwin Willatt enlisted the services of Lieutenant John Cook from the HIS at the submarine base at San Pedro, Cal, to guide him through the nau- tical sets. MT. Cook approved all the interior boat sets before they were photographed and he was with Mr. Willatt on the battleships and on the submarine while making the exteriors, so that every movement was in strict accordance with naval discipline.
 Lieutenant Cook also directed the submarine while the action pictures were being taken. In doing this he performed Q remarkable feat.

DAINTY EMMY WHELEN
 IN ROMANTIC COMEDY


 The romantic comedy-drama en- titled "A Favor to a Friend" with the beautiful Emmy Whelen as it's star. is the headline attraction at the Eagle Monday, and the Central Tues day.
 Among the most popular of the feminine stars of the screen, Emmy Wehlen has an enormous following of her own, who will be glad to learn that in her latest Metro vehicle, this comedy of favors, she will once more return in a part that permits her wearing many new and gorgeous sar- torial creations of her own design.
 The story is one of action and thrills, pulsating through a plot which depicts the attempts of a young western girl who comes east to New York to claim her deceased fathers estate, and who. upon her arrival, becomes entangled in a series of adventures in rapid succession.
 It is said to be by far the best thing that Miss Wehlen has done on the screen, and in it she is well sup ported by the handsome Jack Mul- hall, Hugh Fay, Joseph Ktgour, Elf fife Conley, Jack Miller, Jr., Harry Todd and Fred H. Warren. Arthu" Martinelli photographed "A Favor to g Friend" and Maxwell Karger, direc tor general, personally supervised the entire production.

POLICEMAN BECOMES LAWYER
 AS HERO OF BIG PHoToPLAY

The thought of policeman who is incongruous if one did not know the circumstances bringing this about. II occurs in Tom Moore's new Goldwyn picture, One of the Finest" which comes to the Lyric theater beginning Monday, and is true to life, as his plays usually are.
 Brought out in the course of the comedy drama it develops that Larry Hayes (Tom Moore), though to all intents and purposes a regular traffic policeman, is the son of former po- lice commissioner and has put in four years at college. The death of his father and the reduced circumstances of his devoted mother cause him to abandon his collegiate ambitions and serve on the force. And he might have continued to wear a uniform had not a curious and wholly plaus ible series of adventures made him realize that he must become lawyer to attain an object dear to his heart Theobject is a very beautiful one-the girl who resented his rebuke for speeding in the park and caused his dismissal from the mounted police.
 After all the complications have be- come untangled and Larry Hayes has won the love of the girl, he declares himself to her wealthy father. Of course the latter says his daughter could hardly marry a policeman. Then, to the accompaniment of self confident grin, the former regulator of traffic modestly announces that he has been brushing upon his law since the girl of his heart had him "broke" and has just been admitted to the bar. Of course, everything's all right then. Which only goes to prove. as Tom Moore said when the play was being produced, that a man has to be versatile these days to capture girl who has everything.
