William II. Hart at Crescent.

NllIfam III. hhFt Ut trccCcnl.
What is expected to prove n OF
the most unusual dramas ever offered
on any program is seen at the Cres-
cent theatre, where Thomas IL. Ince
presents William 5. Hart in The
Patriot a thrilling story of the
Mexican border from the pen of
Monte NJ. Katterjohn. This is the
play hat already is well known as
having been staged almost in its en-
tirety on the strife-ridden interna-
tional boundary line. Ii is unique, in
that it has no women in its cast.
The Patriot" is the p~ulsating story
of a man whose burning devotion to
the Stars and Stripes turns to
smouldering Goals Of hate and then
is restored by the advent of a gold
cn-haired boy who resurrects loving
memories. IL is abundant with the
atmosphere Of rebeIlious Mexico, de-
picting border raids with all the real
istic horror that has been so graph
ically related recently by refugees
from the war zone.
Hart has the title role, that Of
Bob Wiley. a homesteader and mi
ner. whose suspicion that his gov
eminent has defrauded him makes
of him q traitor.
Famous detectives. retained at big
fees TO protect Wall Street financial
institutions. have learned hat pre-
vention is better than cure in de-
~faultation. If a clerk or a small
salary suddenly begins spending
large sums of money, it is almost
certain hat he has been led into dis
honesty. such a situation is h dra-
matte undercurrent of "Luring
Lips" the Universal photodrama in
which Edith Roberts is now playing
at the Crescent theatre and which
is enjoying unusual popularity
among local playgoers.

"shams of society" at Ditmas

The most unusual twist IN plot
construction seen on the screen in
many a day puts 'Shams of Society"
almost in a class by itself as clean
and wholesome entertainment.
1t is the building up of this sur
prise hat chiefly distinguishes this
exceptional production directed by
Thomas b. Walsh, released by re
Pictures Corporation and now being
screened at the Ditmas theatre.
The pampered wife of a society
man has everything her heart de-
sires save spending money which her
husband foolishly denies her. He
had never thought of it, although he
had lavished money on her other
wise. Her women acquaintance
spend much money. They also
gamble. She tries her hand at rou-
lette and loses. Her losses grow.
She sells her gowns to make up the
debt but her troubles multiply. Then
she steals a gem.
It would be unfair to prospective
audiences to relate any more of the
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-12-23

plot. From this point on the story
takes a most unusual course-a sud-
den and dramatic shift that is almost
breathtaking. Director Walsh. with
the deft hand of a true artist, work.
ed out the denouement effectively.
Blended with the main theme is
the story of Jewish home life with
a delightful touch of home interest.
The entire plot hinges upon the eff
forts of a young Jewish business
man to save his sisters from the
dangers of their own social ambi-
lions. He is enabled by the develop
ments of the story to bring home to
them the great risk they would con-
front. and tears give way to smiles
as the final fadeout ends the play.

business mar to acquire wealth. He
has an idea that is seemingly worth
a fortune and which he sets out for
the west to develop. His idea is a dis
tinct failure but through it he acct
dentally acquires the wealth he
sought. Mr.. Mandel and MI. Hirsch
have written a very pretty o

PASSAIC, Oct. 11.--There Will be q
new sign tomorrow over the little
butcher shop which has stood for
years at 81 Second Street, in the tene
ment district. The old legend, q trifle
midewed with age, has read thus:
"BENJAMIN TROTZKY,
Fresh Meats"
The new device that will greet the
eye tomorrow will read;
"BENJAM1N TRAVERS,
Fresh Meats"
There ia q reason for TIE change in
name and sign. The butcher shop pro
prietor, man five feet in height,
wearing :, small black hat, black suit,
black shoes and black tie, set forth
his reason to-day in Paterson before
County Judge William W. Watson, and
the Judge agreed that it was a good
one And the little man who entered
the courtroom as the glum Mr.. TrotZky
emerged few moments later as the
jubilant Mr.. Travers.
Residents of Second Street know well
why the veteran butcher closed up for
the day and went to Paterson to court.
For years the shop Of Benjamin
Trotzky prospered and so did Ben
jamin and Benjamin's family. But
when certain adventurer in Russia
rose to prominence Benjamin's busis
ness fell off, and during the last two
years his former customers have been
doing without fresh meat or have been
getting it elsewhere.
"Honest, Judge" said Benjamin tear
fully, as he stood before Judge Wat
son, "this can't keep up. Ever since
that fool in Europe started things
business has been rotten for me. Every
day it gets worse, and III either have
to change my name or change my bust
ness and | wouldn't like to do that,
because I've been in this line eighteen
years and figure that I'm pretty good
at it.
"People have their money in their
hands when they start into my shop
and they need meat on their table, but
when they see the name on my sign
they put their money in their pockets
and walk out like they were running
from the plague. I've been a Trotzky

can't be Trotzkv and sell meat in

special Christn nas matinee, Sam II.
Harris will present for the first time on
any stage, Captain Applejack," q
new comedy by Walter t, ackett, with
Wallace Eddinger and Mary Nash as its

Under the title of "Ambrose Apple

notorious pirate as ever raved the
Spanish Main. From that moment on,

He reverts to type, and the many
comedy situations are the result or his
adventures in this new guise.
The comedy will be seen in Whining
ton for three nights and Wednesday

formance on Monday afternoon.
