MOORE'S RIALTO-
"ReputatiOn."

Reputation" the Universal feature
in which popular Priscilla Dean OPEN
ed weeks engagement at Moore's
Rialto Theater yesterday, will go
down in the memory OF playgoers as
one OF the most dramatic and fin Fly
enacted stofies ever told on a Wash
ington screen. 1t oeals with life from
its various angles and leaves one
something TO think about. The star,
by her work in this picture, clearly
establishes her right to be ranked
among the greatest of cinema artists.
The story is based upon False Col
ors," Edwina Lovin's novel. Sensa-
tionally dramatic scenes in London's
, Limehouse district, glimpses of
bachanalian parties in fashionable
London apartment houses, studies of
the slums in both New York and Lon
don and refreshing views OF small
town life with pleasing comedy relief,
tend to emphasize the dramatic force
of the story and give IL an interest
ing change OF locale. The dominant
figures throughout are those of Laura
Figlan, a reigning beauty on the Eu-
ropean stage. and her daughter. both
characters being played by Miss
Dean, and both so absolutely different
that one can scarcely credit the fact
that they are played by the same
| star. One character Is that of a will
full girl, the other that of her child
deserted in babyhood and raised in a
country institution. The mother wins
success on the stage and only TO
| plunge into a sea OF dissipation. The
| daughter inherits her mothers tall
ents, but with a charm and purity OF
heart entirely her own. A wretched
shadow of the former self, the mother
secures an engagement to star in a
new show in America in the hope of
regaining her lost prestige. She ar
rives in New York for the opening,
and there on the stage taking the
role she was supposed to have, she
sees a girl who is the counter part

| though neither knows the other. Then
