nationwide fight against the drug
evil and the traffic in narcotics,
began an extended run at Gran
dall's Central Theater yesterday
where 1t attracted huge crowds
that far overtaxed the capacity
of the house at every perform
ance.
Accordingly interesting in It's
indictment of one of the most
menacing evils with which the
country Is threatened, this frank
film play drives home it's lesson
with the broadcast and most ire
mendous strokes the screen has
ever been made to deliver. There
is nothing delicate in this exposi.
ton OF precisely what drug adj
diction means to those who fall
victim to it. Much OF the action
is violent, much pathetic. but all
is true. There is no fiction in
Human Wreckage." With the
courage of a Spartan, the wife
of one of silent dramas most
dearly beloved stars, sets forth in
the medium that she knows best
just what she went through in
the heroic but futile struggle to
save the life of Wallie Reid and
salvage him from the mass Of
human wreckage that narcotics
compile each year in these
United States.
In addition to the sterling work
done by Mrs. Reid, exceptional
performances are contributed by
James Kirkwood. cast as the
brilliant young attorney who falls
victim to the narcotic habit, and
Bessie Love, a young actress who
in this subject reveals emotional
powers that no previous vehicle
has ever disclosed. Throughout

symbolized by the faded-in

SCARA MOUCHE
CONTINUESAT
BEIASCO

Crowds filled the Shubert-
Belasco yesterday when the sec
ond weeks run of Rex Migrants
''Scaramouche,' Metro picture,
was begun.
"Scaramouche" is one of the
most unusual productions in the
annals of the screen, because it
unfolds a great event in history
simply and with tremendous pow
er. One of the greatest parts OF
the picture. is the powerful love
story it contains. Around this love
story is woven a young mans
loyalty to the memory of a friend,
slain in a duel, and a girls strug-
gle between her love for "a soldier
of fortune and the temptation to
accept the proffered hand of q
nobleman of great wealth and
power.
The background of the play is
the events that led up to the
French revolution and the revolu-
ton itself. In these scenes Rex
Ingram has shown himself to be a
master of the most trying form of
statecraft-the handling of gigantic
crowds. Ten thousand people ap.
pear in his mob scenes.
Ramon Novarro, Alice Terry
and Lewis Stone head a cast of
thirty principals. Among the 9TH
ers in the cast are Lloyd In
graham, William Humphrey, Otto
Matieson, George Siegman, Bow
ditch Turner, James Marcus, Edith
Allen and Nelson Mcdowell.
Thomas j. Cannon, director of
the symphony orchestra at LoeWs
Palace Theater. has taken over the
musical direction of the "Scara-
mouche" score during the local
run of the picture.

Praise continues for Marion
Davies in Little Old New York"
James Quirk, in the November
issue of Photoplay, said as fol-
lows:
"A picture must be almost per-
feet to get by the New York
newspaper reviewers without adj
verse criticism of some sort. They
are a hard-boiled, long-suffering
aggregation, oftentimes taking
their work too seriously, ap-
preaching every picture with the
firm determination to live up to
their title of critics regardless of
it's entertainment value.
