"THE INSIDE OF THE CUP"

The Cosmopolitan picture produc-
ton, "The Inside of the Cup" was
shown for the first time at Loew's
Columbia yesterday.
1t is an adaptation of Winston
Churchill's magazine story. starting
with the quotation of Scripture rela
tive to money-changerS in the temple
which follows them through the paths
of today as Sunday Churchmen and
weekly business men. 1t picks out a
hypocrite with SNUG, sanctified rev.
erence for the Sabbath and harsh
keen, heartless business principles for
the week day, and shows the ultimate
tragedy of those wrecked by his bust
ness methods. His son, forbidden to
marry poor girl, runs away and
drags the name of Elridge Parr into
the gutter: his daughter deserts him,
and when he attempts to bring about
the resignation of a new pastor APP
pointed through his influence he re-
ceives the unexpected dictum that
things at the church are undergoing
be that of parishioner and not of a
director. Repentance comes after he
is fatally shot by man whom he has
ruined, the latter committing suicide
in his office.
The cast is good, the work of Will
liam p. Carleton, Marguerite Clayton
and Jack Bohn standing out as eX-
cellent. A comedy. news films and
Mutt and Jeff cartoons furnish good
filters for the program.

"OUTSIDE THE LAW"

Priscilla Dean returns to the screen
at Moore's Rialto Theater. in thrill
ing crook play entitled Outside the
Law" Miss Dean has peculiar per
sonality that seems to fit her for
underworld plays, and the movie pa
irons seem to be fully aware of it.
''Outside the Law" has thrills for
every minute of its showing. and the
company from the star down, put
them over with vim and skill.
The story concerns the daughter of
a gambling house keeper who asso-
ciates with crooks. but in refusing the
attentions of one of the gang leaders
Anglers him, and he works a frame
up" or plot on her father first. sending
him to Jail on the false charge of
shooting a policeman. He then tries
TO enmesh the daughter. He is out
wtted by the girl. and in the final
scene meets his death in an exciting
battle with the police and the friends
of the girl. Another gang leader who
reforms persuades the girl to do the
same through the good offices of an old
Chinese philosopher and a happy we'd
ding is in prospective.
Lon Clancy the cleverest character
actor on the movie stage. plays the
villain. In the final battle he scores 8
personal hit with a wonderful fal'
after being shot. The remainder OF
the company is capable, and the pho
tographic work excellent. Subsidiary
attractions complete the bill.

which had the audience roaring with
laughter. While the first act of the
new play ia not SO swiftly moving
as the acts which follow. it is anus
ing, and the second act is-well. it's
just one thing after another in rapid
rotation. There's no denying that
the bedroom scene-or state1oomN M

undeniably amusing.
The complications that arise ont

OF THESE two young persons are con-
slderably increased by the fact that
Roberta has an uncle and aunt on
the vessel. not to meHtion a fiance.
while Robert is afflicted with a newly
wed friend in the next stateroom.
But the farce does not depend en-
trely upon its amusing situations.
There are many clever lines, and the
company selected by Jules Hurtig,
the producer handles the farce with
histrionic skill. Forrest Winant is
cast as Robert Adams and Marie Car
roll as Roberta. and both are excel
lent. Isabel OMadigan, as the domj-
nant aunt Of Roberts, gives a clever

Stanley. newly wed, is an exempli-
fication of the type that talks too

Tom Lewis is cast as the uncle of
Roberta and his characterization of
the henpecked but mildly rebellious
husband won approval. Gesmonde
Nicolai, as Victoire Berth, volcanic
young FrenShwoman, who defes all
the laws of nature, apparently, by
slowing herself away on the ocean
liner for five or six days without
food. and energies in very healthy
condition. is good. Richard Taber,
Purnell Pratt and Anton Ascher are
others of a capable cast.

ably the best Characterization the

business that gives evidence Of ster-
ling ability and ambition. The old
story itself has lost none of it's charm
in it's translation to the screen. In
fact. because of the wider scope af-
forded by the camera. Peaceful VAL

art and a beauty not approached by

The story concerns plain, honest
Woodworking valley folks whose
peaceful pursuits are temporarily in
terrupted by some city folks. who in

The supporting cast is excellent and
includes Harry Myers, Ann May,
