ADJUSTMENTS.
CAN THE FUTURE BE FORETOLD
BY PLAYING CARDS?
They Are Weirdly Prophetic in "The For
tune Teller" Starring Marjorie Ram
beau, Leading Dramatic Actress.
Do cards foreteil the futures

Do cards foretell the futures
They are weirdly prophetic in The
Fortune Teller" the Robertson-Cole
Super Special, starring Marjorie Ram
beau. the greatest emotional actress OF
the American stage, which opens today
at the Latchis Theatre for a run OF two
days.
The screen version of the celebrated
stage success dealing with mother-love
and psychic phenomena is even more
powerful than the play, the bic scenes
of which necessarily were limited by the
stage restrictions.
"The Fortune Teller shows a great
actress in a great story, story filled
with tense, dramatic situations. The
action is rapid and big scene follows big
scene with almost breath-taking swift
ness. But the big scenes" are only
| spot boilers in comparison with the
truly great moments of the picture which
show Miss Rambeau at the very pinnacle
of her art.
Whether cards are false or true
prophets is debatable question, but in
THE Fortune Teller" they form the
basis of a plot ineXtrieably woven with
the appeal of mother-loye and the mys-
terics of psychic phenomena.
The Ace of Spades.
Renee Browning Miss Rambeaul, the
young and beautiful wife of Horatio
Browning. scientist, believes in the super
stition that cards reveal the future.
Her jealous. tyrannical husband, occu-
pied with his scientific researches, SCOTS
at her only pastime. But Renee braves
his displeasure by reading the cards
whenever the opportunity offers. The
ace of spades, the card of ill-omen, per
sists in turning up. And at the very
moment when the cold, calculating scien-
list is engaged in a diatribe against the
futility of his wife's harmless enjoyment
tragedy stalks in.
And tragedy holds the attention of
the spectator until mother love triumphs
over seemingly hopeless obstacles, con-
yincing the hard hearted husband of the
Insecurity of his position, and brings to
the long-suiTering wife the happiness she
had longed for.
Miss Rambeau, who completely domi-
mates the picture, is supported by an ex-
cellent cast, including l.. Fernandez, who
played the heavy in the stage production,
Frederick Burton, Raymond Mckee, T..

Strenuous times suggest the ap-

and one OF these may be a tenn
porary, or even recurring, embargo
on coal exports.
