arc quite small, but nothing has been
| considered nnimportant. The picture
is taken from Jules Eckert Goodman's s
play, which was founded OH Gouv-
erneur Morris's story.
Joseph Plunkett has put on mn un-
usually good bill in honor of the now
autumn season. The prologue ia ar
ranged SO that 1t Is part of the pic
tnre, and 1t is possible to see the fig-
ures behind the gauze curtain when the
picture is being thrown, SO that when
Jacques Grun, who is really playing
the piano on the stage, finishes YOU
see George Arliss receiving the plaud-
it's Of the crowd. 1t Is very we'll done.
Another interesting thing on the pro-
gram Is the dance travesty, called
Lilies Of the Field" which was part
Of the "Pin Wheel" revue. 1t took the
crowd by storm.
Lupino Lane appears in his first
comedy. 1t is called "The Reporter"
and u very funny. Lane is protege
of William Fox and his humor is a
brand new to the screen. Look him
over, anyway. He seems to us pretty
clever.
Another sea picture, with Dorothy
Dalton doing cute things in MILDLY
blouse and sailors pants, Is at the
Rialto. 1t is called "On the High
Seas" and is very we'll done and fairly
interesting. No picture could be un-
interesting with Jack Holt for the
hero, though this hero disappointed us.
Any man who goes to be a stoker look
ing for romance and adventure doesn't
deserve to find so much of it as this
stoker found OF course, we knew that he
could not be real stoker, for the hero
inc was Leone Devereux, society's pet;
but we did think he would at least be
detective after some of the crew, who
were bootlegging on the side, or rich
mans son, who got stranded in Hong
kong. Then he was still so adven-
turous after two shipwrecks and a
fire that instead Of telling who he was
and claiming the young lady as his
bride when they landed, he let her go
Off to marry her previous fiance; but
he kidnapped her at the altar. The
picture is interesting, however, not so
much because Of the story as because
of the way it is done. The storm
scenes are wonderful and the ships do
not look like miniatures, though they
probably only were toys which went
to the bottom Of the ocean. We havs
heard SO often about the agitated
water in big tanks and the thirty-six-
inch ocean liners which sink that we
distrust all shipwrecks. There is a
human quality about the picture which
probably is the work Of the director,
Irving Willat, for the story offers
nothing new. The titles are good, too
In Miss Dalton's support, besides Jack
Holt, there are Mitchell Lewis. as
another stoker, who gets killed when
he pulls the usual stunt in the young
woman's cabin; Winter Hall, William
Boyd, Michael Dark and Alice Know
land. The scenario was made by Mag
nus Ingleton from Edward Sheldon's
story.
Snub Pollard is seen in 1856 Days"
a new two-reel comedy which seems to
have plot.
The overture is from "La Boheme,"
and there is another installment of
Riesenfeld's classical jazz. Evelyn
Buchler sings "The Light Of the Sunset
Glow" and Joseph Alessi, trumpet vir-
tuoso, plays Bartlett's "A Dream"
"Manslaughter" remains at the Ri
voli. At the Capitol Remembrance" is
the feature picture. "a Woman's
Woman" is at the Cameo. These will
be reviewed tomorrow
