melodramatic sensation in the
thrills it builds. and the suspense it
creates. and an appealing romance
told in two complete love stories
that's Find the Woman the Cos
opolitan-Paramoun picture which
stars Alma Reubens, and which will
be screened at the Rialto over Tues
day and Wednesday.
The story appeared serially in the
Cosmopolitan magazine, and proved a
most popular feature with the thou
sands of readers of that publication,
and was selected for motion picture
presentation soley through the ter
rifle dramatic force. and the very
fascinating manner in which the
author created and then maintained
his mystery
A story of New York life is always
a welcome announcement with the
motion picture devotees, and when
TO that announcement is added the
value of the force of the central
theme. then the appeal becomes ir-
resistible.
Find the Woman" gains its title
from the command given the inves-
tigators of very mysterious stabbng
which resulted in the death of one of
the best known men on Broad ray
The story starts developing when
il is learned by Sophie Carey (Alma
Reubens) a concert singer that the
friendly letters she has written to
Judge Marlborough have been stolen
by blackmailers The letters are
absolutely innocent. but as Sophie is
married, they could easily be used to
her great harm The Judge discloses
the information to Sophie at dinner
party in a hotel. AT an adjoining
table Clancy Deane. a girl from the
country. who has come to New York
TO seek fame on the stage, is seated
with Mare and Fay Weber, theat-
rical folks, and new friends Marc
Webber is called to the lobby. and
there he finds Morris Beiner. a theat-
rical agent. who tells him of the theft
of the letters, indicates he (Biener)
has stolen them, and then demands
that Weber assist him in extorting
money from the judge. Webber re-
fuses, a fight ensues, and Mare and
Fay Webber escape in a taxi leaving
Clancy alone. When the blu is pre-
sented her by the waiter. she is un-
able to pay, and Phillip Vandevent,
assistant district attorney comes to
her rescue.
The next day Clancy visits the Of

and gives him the name she has

rine," and her address as the home

But it is interesting to note that

The Master Driver"
Barney OldfieId, the master driver
of them all' is now a tire manufac-
turer in the capitalist class and the
young drivers who set the pace today
are enabled to drive an entire race
without single stop on Barney's s
rubber creations. The ''old man. has
never lost his love for sport, how
ever. and every race finds him with
the provei bal cigar clamped in his
teeth, sauntering through the pits
and press box greeting old friends.
Some race for their bread and but
ter; others for the pure sport of it.
OF the latter class was Caleb Bragg,
millionaire in his own name. who
in his time was one of the most dan
gerous men in a road race or on a
: speedway Last heard of he was re-
ported experimenting with airplanes.
Cliff Durant
Another millionaire sportsman is
Cliff Durant. although it was not al
ways smooth sailing for the new fa-
nous motor car executive. Durant,
with a little "hole in the WALL" was
pioneering the sale of Chevrolets in
Los Angeles and entered the game
to prove to a skeptical public the
stamina of the car which he did sue
cessfully in the gruelling tests of the
Phoenix and Santa Monica road races

Going down Van Ness avenue the
other day our eye was caught by a
familiar picture in the show rooms
of the Hassler-Pacific company, a
picture reproduced in the Bulletin to-
day. This remarkable action photo
was taken at the Santa Monica road
race in 1916. when Eddie Pullen, at
the wheel of Mercer No. 4, blew tire
going around fatal Death curve and
catapaulted into the fence.
Most racing drivers are super
stitious and Pullen was no exception
to the rule. He always insisted on

carried baby's shoe in the race. AL

classed among the older generation of

He has more hobbies to the square

Ten Floods Required.

THE supreme climax in the screen
drama. THE Town That Forgot
God" is the flood scene in which an
entire village is swept away by a
great onrushing torrent. This scene
was staged in New Jersey and it was
necessary to erect thirty small homes
and other frame buildings arranged
to give the appearance of a village
street This entire set was sur
rounded by wall of concrete about
three feet high-this. of course. being
beyond the camera zone and invisible
to the spectator.
The thirty frame buildings repre-
sented an outlay of more than 100000
feet Of lumber, and some 10000 shin
giles for the roofs. Although the cost
of this scene was very great. II re-
quires only few minutes to show it
being wrecked, on the screen.
Inasmuch as all the shots" of the
scene were not made at one time, and
1t was necessary to create this flood
were obtained. the buildings wrecked
each time were repaired before the

than ten weeks were consumed in
completing the mood scene

homes, shows also the washing away
of the furnishings.

These pleasant but Improbable days
are rudely interrupted by the war.
and Lazy Dan announces that he is
going by leaving an item with the
local paper to the effect that he is
going to try the fishing along the
Rhine"
So far the story has been pleasant
~ probable. and the Ade humor as re-
freshinS as the outdoor scenes
through which our hero wanders.
But, after all, a motion picture must
provide some thrills, even If they are
mild, so We are asked to believe that
Lazy Dan, now a major, meets girl
from Wingfield and loses his heart
to her while shells fly.
The girl. who is the sister of Wing
fields richest and most influential
CT t1zen, goes home first. and, accord
ine to her accounts. Maj Dan won
the war. with a little feeble assist
ance from Pershing and Foch. When
he returns he finds the whole town
out to meet him. and. after one look
at the mob and the welcoming ban
ners. he promptly slides off the wrong
side of the train, meets his disreput-
able friend and goes roaming over
the country as of old, in dilapida ted
automobile.
So far. with the single exception
has been pure fun. After that 1t
settles down to the business of being
| a movie" The hero, spurred on by
the girl. decides to run for Congress
and make Wingfeld known all over
the United States. There is the usual
complication of crooked politics. the
introduction of the usual villain. with
his attempts at bribery, and the
Vaccinations of the rival candidate.
With the assistance of the girl, the
hero illustrates all such attempts to
bar his progress and becomes in very
truth "our leading citizen"
Thomas Meighan, a young Irish
man who has been hampered with
poor plays for some time, plays Lazy
Dan. There is no more pleasing per-
sonality working for the screen than
young Meighan. He has never felt
called upon to resort to the usual
arts of the screen favorite. His eff
fects are achieved by acting that
gives the impression of naturalness.
which is. after all, true art. Lois
Wilson is an actress who belongs to
the same school. She will be re-
membered for her Interpretation of
the part of Lulu Bett. William
Carlton plays the villain in a melo-
dramatic style, and Theodore Roberts
is a splendid figure as the profess
Sional politician.
