MOORR'S RIALTO-
tThe Little Fool

So many pictures have been called
great that the term has lost much OF
its force in adequately describing any
cinema production. Yet II Ia the nt-
ting word evoked in thinking or the
qualities OF "The Little FOOL" a mas
terly adaptation of the Jack London
novel, .'The Little Lady OF the Big
House" which has its first showing in
Washington at Moore's Rialto Theatcr
yesterday. There is something in
reading a Jack London book that is
gripping and the same magic obtains
in his picture.
"The Little Fool" though primitive
in that human emotions are plumbed
to the depths, has for it's setting the
beautiful California of which so much
has been said, for it's plot 1t has q
triangle of husband and wife. living
In a palatial home on ranch. and q
chum Of the husband who threatens
to disturb the tranquility of the
menage. Richard Forrest and his
wife Paula. a fascinating creature
whose charms attract all the men in
vited to the ranch. a fact of which the
husband is well aware and in a meas
urs proud, furnish two most unusual
characters. The wife 10 cold to all
until at last comes the man who ap-
peaIs to her and the husband 10 soon
faced with the fact that regardless OF
his riches, talents and indulgence. his
wife Is going to leave him. The climax
at the eleventh hour, when all seems
lost. has terrific force, yet every scene
rings true.
The all-star cast provided. including
Milton Sills. Ora Carew. Nigel Barrie.
Byron Munson. Marjorie Provost,
Helen Howard. and Iva Forester do
brilliant work. From the viewpoint
Of artistic settings and detail the pro-
duction Is practically perfect
