METROPO LITAN-
''Sure Fire Flint. /"

"Sure Fire Flirt' was born on
the Fourth of July before the time
when safety and sanity had de-
natured independence Day into it's
present state of innocuous quiet.
His advent to this mortal coil was
signalized by vast noise and much
celebration. 1t seemed to get into
his blood and stay there. So dur
ing the great war he was a go
getter, eventually being photo
graphed with his buddy in the gilt
.tering throne of the once Kaiser.
Returning to New York, he Sc
cured a position of modified
banditry as a taxi driver, with his
pal the doorman at fashionable
cabaret. Both believed that the
world belongs to the lucky and the
p1ucky, and each operated on that
more or less supportable theory.
Then Sure Fire" saw the girl and
ever after wore her picture on his
windshield! But she already had
been pledged to a young soldier OF
fortune, who was 80 per cent
four-flusher with the other 10 per
cent unalloyed crook. All Sure
Fire Flint" had to do to be fixed
for life was supplant the false
alarm in the estimation of the
De Lanni family.
This, sketchily, is the outline of
the breeziest and most interesting
comedy-melodrama that has been
screened in the Capital in months
Sure Fire Flint" which comes
to Crandall's Metropolitan next
week as the bills principal attrac-
ton with surprising number OF
distinguished players In the lead
ing roles.
