THEATERS
DOUGLAS MacLean

If all convicts could effect their
escape from prison with the deXterity
shown by Douglas MacLean' in his
first Paramount starring vehicle, "The
Jailbird," there would soon be no one
left in the p~enitentiaries but the war
dens and guards.
Prison visitors, a collar and shirt
lying in easy access on an y office
desk, and a suit of civilian CT ,hes in
the warden's closet, are the fcessor-
les that aided Doug's escape While
the guard is showing a crowd of visit
ors through the prison, Doug, left
alone in the warden's office, where
he is a trusty, snatches the collar
and shirt, adjourns to the closet, dons
his "civics" and remains there until
the return of the visitors. AS they
pass the closet door he steps into their
midst and exits with them through
the prison gates. How he gets back
into Jail again is another story.
Thomas Meighan
why Change Your Wife," is a
striking drama of married life lavish
ly presented. Gloria Swanson and
Thomas Meighan are the featured play
ers.
The plot centers around Robert and
Beth Gordon, married for 10 years,
but now beginning to drift apart.
Beth was a charming girl. She has
become a too wifely wife and bOres
her husband with her excessive soil
citude for his comforts. He finds
diversion in the company of vivacious,
pleasure loving Sally Clark. Liberal
minded Beth imagines them in love.
a divorce follows, and Robert marri-
es Sally. Too late Beth discovers why
she lost her husband and, b~lossoming
like a rose, develops into society's gay
est figure. Sally, on the other hand,
is transformed by marriage into a
worse household drudge than Beth
ever was. Roberts eyes are opened
when he again see Beth, and through
a dramatic series of events they are
brought happily together.
Peggy HyIand
A sweet, thrilling tale of mischief
and menace, love and a lass is told in
Faith" starring Peggy Hyland.
This dramatic story, showing how
the wit and courage of a sweet
Scotch lassie overcomes a deep-laid
plot to rob her of wealth, and destroy
the man she loves, is lightened by a
vein of pleasing comedy which brings
u smile to the heart as well as to
the lips. Miss Hyland is equally eff
fective in both light and serious
scenes, and Faith" is a picture that
is we'll worth while.
From a grubby kitchen drudge in
the home of h, -ich but grasping old
uncle to the al f her lover and
the position of mistress of a fortune,
Miss Hyland carries her audience
through many stirring cen with a
vim and dash that thrill and satisfy.
The story is one that should appeal
to everyone.
Earle Williams
Some of the most interesting pro-
cesses of a great murder trial are re-
vealed with interesting detail in 1.-THE
Black Gate" with Earle Williams
playing the stellar role.
Mr.. Williams plays the role of Shall
Spencer, a formerly brilliant law
yer whose existence in the picture is
that of a man who has lost hope and
becomes an idle drifter on life's cur
rent. Shaler undertakes the remark
able venture of selling his life for a
p~osthumous fortune to be paid to his
brother.
The picture closes with n of the
most surprising climaXes imaginable.
Alice Brady
Sinners" is not a melodrama as
many will recall, who saw it on the
