lnomas Melghan, athlete Para
mount star, is a brawny sailors mate
in his latest starring vehicle, "Cappy
Kicks" which is the feature at the
Richmond theatre. AS Matt Peasley
in this refreshing picture of the sea,
Mr.. Meighan is said to have one OF
the best roles of his stellar career
Mr.. Meighan loves the sea and boats
and "Cappy Kicks" gives the star rare
opportunities in sea scenes. The sea
scenes were made in and near Boston
and off the rocky Maine coast, where
three sailing vessels and tug, char
tered by Paramount. were employed.
One scene of "Cappy Kicks" reveals
boat propelled toward the treacher-
Gus rocks by heavy seas and a high
wind. A great risk was taken by the
actors of this scene, as II was neces-
sary to brave rough water and the
possible danger of being stranded on
the rocks.
Mr.. Meighan and his crew learned
something of navigation in "Cappy
Kicks for in the storm scenes the
star was obliged to pilot the tug
which went to the rescue of the dis
tressed vessel. Agnes Ayres is lead
ing woman and heads a strong sup
porting cast.
MURRAY
Where Lights Are Low" at the
Murray, is described aptly as dra-
matte love story of the far east. 1t is
all this-and more 1t is an absorb
ing tale of the universal passion-of
a love too great to be sacrificed on
the altar of expediency. and big
enough to live for, even though the
living brought toll, suffering, self-ab-
negation and finally a peril so dark
and mysterious that it would strike
with the palsy of fear anyone who
might be confronted by such peril. 1t
is enacted by company of players
so we'll chosen, who lived their parts
so realistically, that the beholder for
gets that he is only in world OF
shadows, and for the time expert
ences the exalted emotions, the terror
and the suspense of those who evoke
his sympathies or his repugnance on
the silver sheet.
MURRETTE.
The patrons of the Murrette theatre
last evening took off their hats and
blue glasses TO the delightful new Sell
nick comedy feature, "Chivalrous
Charley. Frankly. there is not dull
moment in the entire footage of the
snappy tale of the adventures in New
York of Charley Reilly. late from the
west. and nephew of a political boss
and millionaire.
Returning from punching on the
plains, where Charley endeavored 70
rid himself of tempermental habit OF
helping beautiful women in distress,
this young Irishman finds that he has
fatN h.,
fire when he hits Broadway.
Right from the tap of the gong,
Charley mixes it with trouble, until
finally his uncle becomes fed up on
paying with his experiences with his
check book, and lays trap for the
Young man whereby he will get lite
long lesson in minding his own busi
ness. And it is the developing of his
plan and in the unforeseen results that
the picture turns out to be corkine
good meIodrama, filled to the top with
adventure, kidnapping, fighting risks
compromising situations and police as
sistance.
