taken enough pains to build up his ten
sion with a little more deliberation. while
the personages mark time tribe. But he
strikes just the right tempo in tho cli-
macteric scene, and the picture Is free
from annoying crose-ups. And with the
breezy informality that might be ex-
pected OF an American girl-though she
Is Spanish-the Senorita RJn0ldo goes
straight to her mark. which happens to
be the American. There is none OF the
coquetry so often hitched to a Castilian
damsel in the films. Neither does she
trust him implicitly through thick and
thin. but her uncertainty about him
seems quite reasonable. especially as
there is no known insulation even in the
movies against the lies OF schemers.
Novel Encounters.
Miss Sylvia Dreamer makes the girl
attractive without being cquatorially
hectic. but that Is only one OF the orig
inal aspects of the picture. Another Is
the agreeably unique meeting between
hero and heroine. the likewise novel en-
counter between Kendall and his future
ather-in-law, and the new method OF
outwitting rascals in a boat by means
Of a machine gun without harming them
except by wetting their clothes. The
natural expectation Is that the author
would show a fight between two rival
factions over pearl fishing grounds, but
he has chosen much more unhackneyed
method of whipping the water and the
hero to fury.
The picture does not always take
itself so seriously as most South Sea
films until every one seems to be pant
ing with earnestness. The ragged con-
stabulary Of Bintang is humorocsly ex-
posed and a tomato Is used with dew
astating effect against hidalgo dignity.
Because II is set In warm cline. the
constant conspiracies seem only nat
ural. and even the subterranean den
seems likely. since 1t must have been
cooler there. The plot Is highly con-
voluted. yet SO clearly accented that
one never exclaims Whats all the
shooting for?"
1t is extremely picturesque In atmos-
phere, one of the settings apparently
having an artificial background worked
into it so cleverly one feels 1t Is better
than the real. And this seems to be
the first picture In which a pearl fish
cry has been used for the wealth Of
excitement 1t contains. Jack Holt
doesn't have the chance at characteri-
zat!on that he did in while Satan
Sleeps" but his spell as a fighter grows
on one. He attacks his man like real
battler-the New York State Athletic
Commission would never set him down
for taking Clarence Burton. Jean de
Briac and Edwin Stevens contribute
strength to a picture over which one
can exclaim: AT last, real enter
tainment without any fuss or feathers
or marcel waves' - At bottom its
point that might makes right may not
be entirely moral but 1t got past the
censors. So we should worry.

to make the screen vampire once more
a household necessity Evidently hav-
ing heard 1t bruited abroad that the
movie siren was gone, his slogan ap-
pears to have been. The vamp Is dead
long live the vamp!'
Having apparently made up his mind
that such sinuous. seductive creatures
could still come back and put their eyes
In the ring II some one besides Miss
Theda Bara played the great home
wrecker--that. In short. a new style of
ruins was called for since the war--the
producer seems convinced that another
young woman would be successful as a
domestic cyclone. provided she had a
strictly american name and seemingly
a home grown technique, the trend
nowadays being all toward native prod
ucts. So he has brought forward Miss
Estelle Taylor as the latest silent LoreIeJ,
and really after one look at Miss Taylor
one can hardly blame him.
She appears to be very fascinating,
and certainly on the score of attractive
appearance the new school of vamps
seem more plausible than the old type
the kind that men could reasonably go to
the dogs over. without emphasizing the
old aphorism that love is blind.
"A Fool There Was" suggested by
Rudyard Kpling's poem, is, of course,
the celebrated grandmama of all siren
photoplays--so notable. indeed, that It
brought the word vampire out of The
cover OF the dictionary and into the light

mous-or infamous--on the screen. 1t

have been trying to live this and kindred

One questions whether the yamp In
her newest incarnation will become such
vital part Of the national life. She
seems to have cooled with time--she no
longer brings that pleasurably guilty
glow. The new version seems to have
been all dressed up in silks and satins--
to have received a new lick of paint. It
Is more discreet than the first production.
and the baneful young woman seems to
be operating with one eve open for the
censors. She calls to mind saloon keep
ers Of the olden days who, having made
money catering to the rough customers.
decided to dispense with the bouncer and
run a cafe looking after only genteel
tipplers.
The picture sticks as closely as a
brother to the stage tale of the wealthy
man who forsakes his wife and child
to go with woman of the demi-monde
encountered on a steamer; who seems
about to return to his family when he
Is lured away again by, the designing
mink. and who. having determined to
free himself from her spell by the rough
and ready expedient of killing her, is
tipped over the banisters by the mink
himself. That leaves him in a pretty
bad way--in fact. dead.

son. is exciting. 1t gets the hero in the
thick of plot and counter plot almost
from the beginning. and when he isn't
fighting men he's fighting flies. The
picture also is notable in being the first
TO take official cognizance OF the exist
ence of flies, or some pestiferous bug
like them. Next we can expect conf
IDENTIFY to see the place of the mosquito
in the tropical scheme OF things recog-
nized in the movies.
So consistently thrilling Is 1t that it
rises far above the South Sea locale and
title that hardly fits, being more ap-
plcable to the sort of picture In which
a mans soul IS made over rapidly. In
spite of all the nasty subtitles from evil
acquaintance that can be heaped upon
the screen. Film fans need not trem-
Bile with dismay at learning they are
confronted with another South Sea island
picture. They will not see here sodden
beachcomber who is regenerated through
the more liquid glance OF lovely
woman's eyes. Nor is a beautiful half
caste girl introduced into the picture
to make things more difficult for the
hero.
A Plausible Story.
1t is a straight from the shoulder
story, much more plausible for all its
violent action than the customary
sainted tramps and sinuous vamps Of
recent years. II Is direct, out and out
fight between the young American, who
has fallen heir TO his uncle's pearl fish
cries in the islands, and the opposition,
consisting of a Spanish grandee, an.
italian pearl dealer and the mixed riff
raft of the island. most Of whom are
seeking to double cross him as we'll as
one another. since double crossing ap-
pears to be an industry in this locality
that ranks second only to pearl fishing.
A girl appears In the story. the daugh-
ter of the Spanish business rival. but
she Is used principally to awaken tho
New Yorker from his peaceful BELIEF
that he simply has to call cop In case
of trouble and everything will be made
as smooth as the flow Of traffic on Fifth
avenue. That conviction is tribute to
New Yorl's finest. but 1t won't work on
the Island of Bintang. The usual abb
duction of the heroine connected with
the South Seas appears only in skillfully
disguised form. and when the rascally
pearl dealer does seize the girl as a
hostage, while the hero is cunning for
him, it Is done on the spur of the mo-
ment, with none of the usual preliminary
chest heaving. And it contributes to a
rapid fire climax In battle in an un-
derground passage that is more thrilling
than any subway accident.
The impulses and acts of the charac-
ters are indeed consistently swift-some-
times the director does not seem to have

Miss Eugene Dennis, seventeen, of
Atchison, Kans., has shown marvellous
psychic powers. This remarkable high
school girl has displayed almost un-
consciously her powers, which she has
had since she was two years Of age, in
number of ways.
She has astonished friends by tell
ing them of murder, an accident and
other dramatic occurrences at the
ysry moments Ct their bapPepings a.
though she was many niles away
from the scene. Miss Dennis has also
found a wedding ring for girl friend
when the latter had lost it quite some
distance away. Sitting in a chair in
the parlor Of the Dennis home, this
wonderful girl pointed out the spot
where the ring had been lost. The
ring had ben dropped in room Of
the friends home. Miss Dennis told
the exact place where the piece Of
jewelry had been dropped and that II
the searcher did not hasten the ring
would be gone as a servant was about
to sweep the room and would find the
ring. This incident is only one of the
many that have occurred through the
medium of the girl with the psychic
eyes,"
Eugene was born in Leavenworth,
Kan, and it is said that the queer gift
of psychic powers runs in the family.
Her Grandmother Gabbert on her
mothers side had the same powers,
but she thought it sin to practice
them.
The Society for Psychical Research
will make laboratory test Of the girl
who is regular girl and is very
much liked in her home town.
