to today when Gloria Swanson starts her engagement in Paramount's adaptation of Elinor Glyn's original story, "'The Great Moment" Filmed with Elinor Glyn personally assisting
 Sam Wood. the director. every ounce of the warmth and atmosphere incor- porated by the author in the black and white edition has been preserved in the visualized presentation. The production is lavish and gorgeous, contrasting the very ultra in wealth and elegance with the primitive roughness and uncouthness of the American western mining country. and offers Gloria Swanson a dual role of wide scope. not only from
 emotional possibility. but for sheer dramatic artistry and finesse.
 Elinor Glyn jumped into interna- tional prominence as the writer of
 Three Weeks" the publication of which. startled two worlds. Her con- tributing a story built especially for
 the star of the production is an event
 fraught with the keenest of interest for the picture devotee. Paramount has seen to it that no expense has been spared to make the production
 worthy of the vehicle, to present
 beautiful Gloria Swanson to her thousands of admirers as a full-
 fledged star in her own right, and the result is a never ending display
 of luxury and finery. in which att
 mosphere the battle of love versus
 convention is waged in a story tin-
 gling with life and romance. The
 supporting cast includes Milton Sills. Alec B. Francis. r. R. Butler. Arthur
 Hull, Helen Dunbar. Clarence Geld

It is indeed seldom that a picture is produced that combines in such excellent measure the elements of love, romance, adventure, comedy, pa-
 thos, excitement, mystery and sus- pense as does 'Dinty," Marshall Neil lan's special attraction for First Ma tional, in which Wesley Barry is star ring, and which comes to the Strand to open its engagement tomorrow. .'Dinty' is unusual, it is decidedly original, it is highly interesting, and it unfolds a story that cannot but find instant favor with every one. In the first place the locale is San Francisco's Chinatown. famed through out the world, an an environment eagerly welcomed by every motion picture follower. Next, it presents as the hero a newsboy reared in that environment, educated on the streets of a big city, and battling his way in the world with both fists and his brain, inspired in his never ending struggle by his love for his mother. Again, the action is s1ighly amusing in the adventures that befall the newsie as day by day he comes in contact with the surging crowds that make up the city's routine. It is thrilling, incorporating as it does the excitement attendant upon the kid mapping by a gang of smugglers in Chinatown of the fiance of the young assistant district attorney VITO has been active in his fight against them and of Dinty's work in leading the police and rescuers through the dis trict he knows like a book.

There is no more beautifully costumed woman in vaudeville today than Patsy" Allen-nor is there more talented entertainer before the public today. That she has made most decided hit in Phoenix is stat ing a big fact in a very mild man ner, and her appearance twice eacn evening is e decided novelty.

Turn to the Hight' to Open Eiks
 The coming Of Turn to the Right" to the Elks theater for one week starting with the matinee tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon by the Bain- bridge -Karns stock company will in- troduce to bcai playgoers a play that will be held in fond remembrance by the present theater going gener- ation. As a happy blending of tears and laughter it win occupy a niche in American theatrical history along with .The Old Homestead" and Way Down East" while among those who praised the religious appeal of Ben Hur'' it will be cited as a comedy without blushes.
 The story deals with a type of youth common to every small town in America, the youth who leaves home to seek his fortune in the city. How Joe Bascom succumbs to the influence of fast company and the fascination of gambling, to be re- stored to the right track by mother love is told Tn a story of simple di- rectness in a prologue and three acts. The play was written by Winchell Smith and John b. Hazard and is recognized as one of the greatest successes of the modern stage.
 The heavy advance sale indicates that the playgoers are interested in the new company and all the first nighters will be out tomorrow night to wish them a prosperous season.

Columbia theater for the last times today, is the play that put the planet on the map. The story is one of un- usual appeal and its interpretation at the hands of MT. Lytell and strong supporting cast ccmbine to make it one of the most delightfully."- pleasant photoplays ever done by the star.
 "A Message from Mars" depicts as really as real life the wealthy young man. about-town who was SD super naturally selfish as to require a su- pernatural cure. The screen adap- tation is from the celebrated stage success by Richard Ganthoney.
 The most selfish man in London was Horace Parker, and everyone knew it except Horace himself. Then someone told him-a figure he had never seen, one he laughed at when he first saw it. But it became no laughing matter with Horace, espe- cially when his riches were taken from him and he was left a vagrant on the snowy street. Then the tun and the tragedy begin; after vainly trying to get rid of the unwelcome guest by many subterfuges, Parker sullenly goes through London town, seeing the checquered patterns of life and finally winning salvation with the breakdown of his hard. self sat isfaction.
 A Hall Room Boys comedy entitled "A Chili Romance" and Ford educa tion- travel film are other pro- gram numbers being offered for the last times today.

Nowadays with increasing care for childhood, the weak are carried into adolescence and adult hood. Where formerly only the fittsst or toughest managed to reach the shady slope of life and were eonse- quently more likely to hang on to rips old ages, the salyaEsng of the weaker brings them into the fifties and six tieE with less hope of prolonged life It sounds plausible and may explain the apparent decrease of old age.
