EUGENE O'BRIEN
ACTUALLY SEEN
AS A CROOK

1t hardly seems possible, but yet
it is true. Handsome, debonair,
love making and adored Eugene o.
Brien is a crook. At least, that is
the kind of a role he%plays in THE
Wonderful Chance, his latest SELF
nick picture in which he will be seen
at the Colonial theatre. His char
actcrization of "Swagger" Barlow
may be ranked as one of the best
characterizations he has yet done for
the screen.
n. II. Van Loans story Of the
man who tried to SO straight. but
who is practically forced down the
CROOKED lane" furnishes the spec
. tator with a most unusual and en-
tertaining photoplay.
AS "Swagger" Barlow, the star is
ideally cast. and demonstrates. that
in portraying ,iriie roles that have
a background of romance and mys-
tory he is at his best. THE Won
derful Chance" has action enough
for three photoplays, but it all truly
belongs in the story, and has not
been dragged in in order that the
star may perform a few stunts, for
which the average spectator will be
truly thankful
Martha Mansfield is a delightful
leading lady for the star, and the ball
ance of the cast is UP to the standard
Of excellence demanded nowadays.
