10 worse. He is about to commit

Sun--"The Moth" and MADE In
Heaven"
The management of the Sun thea
ter has booked a strong feature
program this week. with Norma Tai
madge and Tom Moore taking the
leads in respective pictures.
Though not her latest production,
"The Moth" offers Norma Tai
madge, the star, a most variegated
role for emotion. The picture opens
TODAY at the Sun theater for a Jour
day Engagement.
The picture deals with the dangers
which surround young girl who
has been left alone in the world with
unlimited wealth at her command.
Parasites on every side find her an
easy prey to their insidious attacks
and she suddenly wakes to find her
self in a morass of selfishiness and
misery.-How she extricates herself
and finds her happiness in the love
OF her children and the One Man
forms a story which made William
Dana Orcutt's novel one of the 10
best sellers.
Tom Moore, smiling, genial and
Irish, promises to delight the patrons
when he is presented the latter half
of this week at the Sun theater in
his latest production, Made in
Heaven" The story concerns itself
with the rise of a "greenhorn," who
becomes a fireman i'll New York, to
a position of affluence and power.
Tom Moore's clever impersonation
of young Irishman will be re-
membered by those who saw him in
"Hold Your Horses" In his latest
photoplay he is again a city scrv-.
ant bat this time it is fireman. OF
course the hero saves the heroine,
in this case, beautiful Helene Chad
wick, from all sorts of embarrassing
situations. But she is blue-blooded,
petuant and charming. There are
complications, too; rich suitor, a
matchmaking friend, the hero's pow
erty and the heroine's inability to
make up her mind to marry at all.
However, our heroic fireman solves
them all in due time, in his own
naturally humorous way.

He grabs some hard knocks, too,
in the several fights in the picture;
but he gives more than he gets, ex-
cept near the end, when he is bad
ly wounded. His injuries pave the
way for pretty love scene in which
Maggie the waitress wins over
Gladys Martin, daughter OF a
wealthy mine owner. because Cupid,
