THEATERS|
Sea Wolf

In this great picture by Paramount
Aircraft, with such persons as Noah
Beery taking the part of Wolf Lar
sen" Mabel Julienne Scott as Maud
Brewster, Tom Forman as Humphrey
Van Weyden, and Raymond Hatton as
the cook, the story has been admirably
picturized in every detail and shown
in all it's reality, until the dashing
waves that slap the old vessel COM
manded by wolf seem ac' tally to
strike one between the eyes.
The ship collision in San 4 sancisco
harbor, the battle in his bunkroom of
wolf" Larsen against his whole crew
in which he wins; a barroom fight be-
tween Wolf" Larsen and his brother
and deadly enemy, Death" Larsen,
and scores of other Genes indicate the
exhaustive effort that must have been
devoted to the producing of the piece.
La Belle Russo"
Theda Bara, the vampire, and Theda
Bara, the ideal wife, have come face
TO face. The noted screen star has
proved that she is able to play the
n as effectively as she can play the
other.
In La Belle Russo" Miss Bara
plays the parts of two different charac-
ters. One moment she is shown as
the demure and devoted wife of an
impoverised artist; the next sees her
as a who outwardly resembles
the first character, but whose soul is
black. She is a notorious woman of
Paris, yearning for conquest, and alb
solutely INSCRIPTIONS. The conflict
between these two women forms the
climax of this absorbing p~hotoplay.
"Civilian Clothes"
Thoms Meighan is making his first
starring venture in the screen version
of "Civilian Clothes" AS a play this
picture met with popular approval and
the new version is said to be as rich
in entertainment values. The story
concerns an overseas captain who
marries a pretty American girl in
France. She is attracted to him be-
cause he looks SO well in his uniform.
Later after returning to America she
learns of his death.
But he cames back very much alive
just at the time she has renewed her
acquaintance with a former admirer.
Disappointed at his appearance in
~"civies," which show bad taste Tn
style, she snubs him. But the gallant
eX-officer thereupon obtains a job as
butler in his wife's household with the
aV0wed purpose of teaching her a
lesson in humility. The results, ma
turally, are amusing to a degree. MI.
Meighan's personality fits the role
like the proverbial glove and he gives
a sympathetic performance. Included
in the cast are such favorites as Mar
tina Mansfield, Frank Losee and Alfred
Hickman.
Fear Market"
Alice Brady has a highly dramatic
role as Sylvia Stone, daughter of Maj
or Stone, a wealthy New Yorker, who
unknown to her is the editor of an in
discrete Matchmaking society sheet.

father to visit her grand aunt in Italy,
falls in love with Ettare Forni, a

from him by playing on his supersti-
tons. Sylvia tells her friend, Mrs.
Hill, wife of a New York artist, about
her experience and Mrs. Hill in turn
relates an escapade she had before
marriage.
A short time afterward Major Stone
and his agent, Jim Carson, visit Italy.

erection if she doesn't pay $4,000. Mrs.
