COLUMBIA-"The Wanderer."

Loew's Columbia Theater this week
Is Offering a rara avis, a screen YER
sion of Biblical story without the
faint of modernity. a Raoul Walsh
production. which is truly an epic
masterpiece.
In 1t one of the most overwhelming
sights in screen history. the fall Of
the city Of Babylon. Is marvelously
pictured, the crumbling of massive
structures, the people fleeing destruc-
ton and all beneath skies that fairly
rain balls Of fire. 1t produces an
effect as unforgettable as Bulwer
Lytton's last day of Pompeii.
1.-The Wanderer" is the Bible story
Of the prodigal son. 1t adheres strict
ly to the spirit OF the theme and very
largely to the letter. It begins with
charming pastoral picture OF the
life Of the family of Jesse, a patri-
arch Of Judah, and then centers at
tention on Jether, the younger son,
who dreams of cities and Of life. and
succumbing to the fascination of the
tales he has heard Of them, he gives
| way to the call of adventure and
| leaves his fathers house to follow the
caravan of Tisha, priestess Of the
! goddess Ishtar.
Thence the scene shifts to Babylon,
the city of wild dissipation, and there

pudiated by his former friends. Only
the love of the priestess Tisha holds
him and he fingers despite the warn

Mr.. Arnold also has purchased the

RIAITO--"SteIIa Maris."

Mary Philbin stands out as about
nine-tenths of the program at the
Rialto this week, where she plays
dual role in Stella Maris."
Adapted from the novel by William
J. Locke, the story Is somewhat lack
ing in smoothness and continuity for
the screen. giving evidence OF mucn
value lost in the condensation. but
the acting of Mary Philbin, as the
wealthy invalid. Stella Maris. who
owns a castle by the sea-. and as
Unity Blake, the orphan household
drudge, leaves nothing to be desired
Her makeup and disguise as the
household drudge, in love with her
master and desiring only to serve
him, is equaled only by her excellent
portrayal Of the wry torture which
this poor soul with it's ab5ect in
feriority complex suffered. Her face
is scarcely recognizable as that OF
Mary Philbin. who in the other role
as stella shines as the refulgent and
clustered beauty Of her great castle.

TIvOLI-Tady Windermere's Fan"

What Is claimed to be one of the
most difficult feats attempted in the
history of motion pictures has been
successfully accomplished in the
transfer Of Lady Windermere's Fan
to the screen by Ernst Lubitsch, and
this Aim version Of the Oscar Wilde
play, which opened yesterday at
Crandall's Tivon Theater and con-

wit and sparkling epigrams Of Wilde
can be translated into action II a mas

LADY Windermere's Fan" has prob
ably a near perfect cast, with Irene

This dramatic story Of charming

ut would be foolish for Ventnor
to have another boulevard built
from Dorset ave. to Mortified,
says Mayor John w. Risley. ITS
too near Albany ave. boulevard
and would not bring much added
valuation to either Ventnor or to
the county. Ventnor's movement
has been suddenly gotten up at
the behest of real estate interests
which would be benefited by the
project. But Margate has been
after the boulevard for some time
and has studied thoroughly all an
giles OF the project. 1t is not for
the benefit of few real estate
men, but for the advantage of the
whole of Margate. 1t will add con-
siderably to the county valuations
of land. 1t is exactly central be-
tween the Albany and Longport
boulevards. There couldn't be a
better, or as good a route for the
proposed boulevard than from Je-
rome ave, across to Mortified,
from the standpoint of cheapness,
shortest distance, or direct acces-
sibility to the Mainland and
thence through to the Black Horse
pike or the White Horse pike.
ut puts the Mortified golf
links right at Absecon Islands
back door, continued Margate's
mayor with enthusiasm. ITS the
only spot on the island for a new
boulevard. If Ventnor wants to
come i'll on it, let her bring her
new boulevard from Dorset ave.
to curve in on the Margate-North,
field boulevard and that will give
her an outlet to the Mainland and
increase her valuations in that
territory. Margate's northslde
boulevard increased ratables 81
100000, and today shows $6,00O,-
600 increase"
One thousand names have been
secured on a petition to the Board
of Freeholders to build the Mar
