RIALT0-Betty Compson, in "The
White Flower"

1t is not necessary to read the ad-
vance notices of THE White Flower"
Betty Compson's newest photoplay, to
be convinced that 1t was really filmed
in picturesque Hawaii. Exotic tropical
foliage form. background which
could not be initiated, the sacred
volcano. Kilauea, looms ominously in
the distance, and the waves which
splash along the wide beaches bring
the, surf-riders playfuily along on
their crests. Native children scramble
up tall. slanting cocoanut trees. or
gather breadfruit, while their fathers
work in the rice or pineapple fields,
or on the banana plantations. Yet
there is an air of gayety about them,
as II their work were play. and the
spell of the island seems to reach the
spectator as well as the actors in
the play, as they watch native festi-
val in the shadow of the palms.
Probably the music contributes to the
magic of the picture when 1T deepens
to blue for the tropical night, for
there is an undeniable fascination in
this silver-sheet tale of love. jeal-
ousy and superstition under the
Hawaiian moon.
Miss Compson appears as the young
daughter of an American. dominated
by superstitions inherited from her
dead Hawaiian mother. A fortune
teller prophesies that the man she
is to marry will come to her with
a white flower in his hand, and warns
her to accept him as her fate. So
when n young American arrives on
the island to manage a neighboring
plantation and offers her a white
flower at their first meeting. she falls
blindly in love with him, and he lack s
the courage to tell her of his Amer
lean fiancee. The fact that she saves
him from drowning when a jealous
native has lured him to attempt surf
riding, and nurses him back to
health, adds to his dilemma, for he
feels that the spell of the girl has
caught him as relentlessly as the
spell of the tropics, and yet his first
duty is to the girl who is coming to
Hawaii to marry him.
The secret is out when she arrives,
and Konia. tempted by jealous native
sutton. engages Il priest of evil to
pray the American girl to death. The
victim is warned by d series of
mysterious messages that she is To
die, and her own mind. haunted by
books of superstition which she has
read, aids in making her dangerously
i'll. Her fiance is informed who hired
the priest to pray her to death, and
he strikes konia when she comes try
ing to save the girl. Events move
rapidly on to a climax both effective
and unexpected dictated by the self
sacrifice OF two girls.
supplementary features include a
I,upino Lane comedy, The Reporter"
a Fox news and Fun From the
Press" The Rialto Orchestra in
terprets prince Methusalem" as its
solo, and the famous Melody Boys
play during the run of the minor

NEW YORK. April 9.-The curb
market started the week with one of
the quietest days that has been wit
messed in some time.
There was nothing in the news over
the week end to stimulate outside
participation and activity prevailed
only in special stocks, where pools
and professional operators continued
to work for higher prices. But the
list as whole showed only slight
changes on the previous close.
Maracaibo led the oil group up 2
points at a new top. while the per
cent bonds, which carry a conversion
privilege into the stock after a speci-
ned date, naturally moved forward
sympathetically. At 200 the bonds
were up 20 points from the Saturday
closing. also a new high record.
Aside from reports last week to the
effect that the Pan-Amer1can Com
pany was negotiating for an option
on Maracaibo property in South
America there was nothing new to
account for the demand.
