 It remained for ''The Faith Heal er," adapted from William Vaughn Moody's striking play of the same name. to find its place as the logiacl su Ccessor to ''Tl1e Miracle Man." The dramatic framework is founded upon the conflict of spiritual and material forces and the theme is so poignant and soars with such eloquent ap-
 
 ported as the case may be. Milton Stills and Ann Forrest do some ex- ceklent acting. The rest of the cast is entirely adequate.
 Chic Supreme is an elaborate vau- devEle production It has O very pretty stage setting, the costuming has been looked after without a thought of cost, the girls are prety and tall to be desired.

 '@The Three Musk eteers' is Doug . las Fairbanks greatest masterpiece | It is his most elaborate production . providing at last the ideal vehicle fol the proper display of his versatilit! and talent. Fairbanks was mor' | than a mere actor of parts. He wa! D'ArtaE Enan resurrected in the realis | tic atmosphere of seventeenth cen tury France. '"The Three Musketeers' while the picturization of Alexandr' Dumas immortal novel, was really il Fairbanks himself.
 :: Fairbanks is seen as the rusti pumpkin, and as the picturesque, TO l mantle courier and lover. Again h. ? is the swashbuckling. high-spirited l daring, devi1-nnay-care soldier of for tune. And first and last. he is seer
 as the fighter, the clever. deXtrou
 due1list before whom the most skill ed swordsmen of France fall in de : feat. Every character is singular1 . and peculiarly adapted to him, mak ! ing him the identical D'Artagnan i'm ! proved with the dash and daring O a twentieth century irresponsible, ir '. a seventeenth gentry setting. T. Even to the most unimportant eX s tra, the capable cast is ideal and per s fectly selected. Nigel de Bru1ier 6 . tho crafty. cunning Cardinal Rich a lieu; Margaret De La Motte as tn n coy 1ady-in-waiting to the Queer 6 Mary MacLaren, are ideally suited t the roles. Leon Barry, George Seie
 man, Eugene Palette as the thre n n1usketeers are superb.
