AT THE SAVOY.

When the screen discloses Elaine
Bammerstein IN the first scene OF
her newest Selznick picture, '"rhe
Miracle OF Manhattan now show
ing at the Savoy Theatre. the sur
roundings and atmosphere convey
the impression that one Is about
to witness a conventional society
drama But Il may be stated there
is nothing conventional about this
photo-drama as Il is a drama OF all
sorts OF society high and low. The
thrills are there IN abundance and
the spectacle Of Elaine Hammerstein
surrounded by a collection OF gang
eters and other tough characters is
moved 20 say the least. Thrills and
excitement dominate THIS unusual
production.
The star Is called upon to por-
tray every emotion that a human be-
ing is subject 20 and her work calls
for the highest admiration for her
ability IN this most dinncuit role.
In addition Harold Lloyd in a special
re-engagement Of Get Out and Gel
Under" Is producing lots OF laugh
ter in this original automobile pic.
ture Harold's trials and tribulationi
with a certain popular make Of auto
is enough to make a horse laugh.

AT THE MAJESTIC.

Most OF the action OF ''rhe Love
Special" Wallace Reid's picture now
at the Majestic. takes place on a rail-
road train. And the action itself is
every bit as speedy as the train on
which It travels.
Speed and comedy are the two sue
cessful ingredients OF every Reid pic
ture. '"rhe Love Speciaf' has both
in entertaining proportions. Its story
is a good one having plenty Of ac-
ton and a good. sound background.
The fact that Wally substitutes
the locomotive for the speedy road
ster or the cumbersome truck, does
not detract from the appeal OF the
piece. with his hand on the throt-
tie OF the big steam engine, no gives
just as many thrills as when he
swerves around a corner in a road
ster and slxids a couple OF feet
Today Is the last for the showing

which features the last minutes newt

AT THE QUEEN.

william S. Hart has a new role in
his latest photoplay, "O'Malley OF
the Mounted" on view this week at
the Queen. He is a sergeant OF the
Northwest mounted police. the man
who never lost a trail Mr.. Hart
wrote tho piece and IL Is one OF
thrills.
Hart Just can't keep away from
mingling with bandits and in this
picture he has not forgotten his Ia
vorite horse. Pinto. Among the
thrills in the picture are a bank rob-
berry. wild horseback echases along
the mountain sides and an explosion.
The greater part OF the action Of
the piece takes place in the noun
tains. Bill Hart is in his natural
element here. He just lives the part
OF O'Malley. No point OF charac-
ter OF no ounce OF dramatic tension
is neglected by him. In other words
Hart is perfection OF the title role.
Hart's supporting company IL
very good as a whole. Eva Novak
plays the feminine lead and makes
an appealing heroine.
