A Remarkable Story.
Iris van Suydam. wealthy soce-
ty girl, who dreams of marrying a
poor man, is engaged to Dick Prem
tiss, a rich young man of her own
set, whose idea of complete happi-
ness would be his marriage to some
pretty humble country girl. Sham
rock ODay, the beautiful daughter
of a washerwoman, dreams of marry
ing prince OF millionaire, while
Tom Mcclure, employed as chauf-
feur for Iris, loves the latter des-
perately.
While delivering the family wash
at the Prentiss home one day, Sham
rock meets Dick who instantly falls
in love with her. He takes her home
in his automobile and is seen by
Iris who becomes exasperated by
this unexpected development. She
is aware. that her chauffeur loves
her and she finds herself strangely
attracted towards him. Angered by
Dicks conduct, Iris drives her auto
mobile onto a railroad trestle de-
spite Toms protests and when
train appears behind them, Tom
barely has time to swing Iris out
of the machine and. holding her by
one arm, hangs onto a beam with
the other as the train crunches the
automobile into splinters overhead.
They are dragged from their peril
Gus situation and Iris now realizes
that she loves her preserver because
he is mans man.
The engagement of Dick and Iris
is broken and Dick marries Sham
rock, while Iris weds Tom. 1t re-
quires only a few months to prove
that neither of the contracting par
ties is happy in his or her environ
ment. Dick and Iris are attracted
toward each other while Shamrock
and Tom spend their leisure hours
on Saturday night at Coney Island.
Here they enjoy themselves as only
lovers do and at length they are
gratified to discover that their mar
riages have been mistakes and that
they love each Other after all.
When Shamrock and Tom return
home they find Dick and Iris to-
gether. There is fire and Tom
carries Shamrock to safety despite

The Broadway advent Of the pic
ture has cleared up rumors that
have been circulating In filmdom
II had been observed that certain
directors and members OF the Fox
production staff had suddenly be
come interested in places where
games of chance are played. They
were seen at the race track. at the
fights, and in certain gaming houses.
Long nosed persons wanted TO know
what II was all about. Some ven.
tured to guess and the guesses soon
became rumors. Now. however, they
know that the Fox staff was simply
in search for atmosphere and looked
for II In its natural places.
To start to sing the praises of
Mary Carr of "Over the Hill" fame
is useless. She has gone down In
film history as the great mother
and needs no further introduction.
She triumphs again in "Thunderclap,"
portraying the part OF a paralytic.
In test of her histrionic ability Mrs.
Carr was given part where she
is deprived of the use of her hands
and lips. Mrs. Carr makes her
facial and eyes expression do the
work of both.
Manager Powell in making the
arrangements for the showing OF
this super.fe ture signed contract
with its producer, but could only
get the privilege of showing II at
his theatre, for three days. II is
doubted that he can hold II here
after that time, although he has
made several atemps to do so. Mr..
