Morris
at RiaIto

Breach of Promise" at the
Rialto is composite of several
well-known formulas which to.
gether make a harmless but
rather unbelievable story. CheS.
ter Morris and Mae Clarke are
the particular lights Of the pro-
duction.
Assisted by number Of lesser
luminaries. they enact a tale of
a farm slavey who suddenly gets
ideas, goes after and flirtS with
man, and then sues him, for
no good reason, for breach Of
promise. However, in the end
she repents, confesses the lies
she told at the trial and goes
off to prison, with her erstWhile

while Chester Morris is the in.
nocent object of her false state
ments, from whom she collects
money, name and prestige.
They both do well enough by
their parts, which give them very
little opportunity to display their
ability. Among others in the cast
are Mary Doran, who is the in
stigator of all the ideas that are
put into the girls head; Charles
Middleton as a tremendously
cruel guardian, and many others.
The story, in its telling. does
prove interesting, but the sud-
den reverses and twists in the
plot are rather hard to follow.
and harder to comprehend. At
least the cast did not fall down
on the story, if the adapters did.
The surrounding bill includes
a Jimmy Gleason comedy, which
all of his admirers will enjoy, a
travelogue Of Hollywood, and the
customary neWsreel.

1.-THE Crusader" now at the
Columbia, despite its title, is an
interesting, fast moving, drama,
enacted by such wellknown film
folk as H. B. Warner, Evelyn
Brent, Lew Cody, Ned Sparks and
others.
It is a story of q district at.
touey who starts out to clean
up crime in his city. and ends
up with his sister and wife in
Volved in a ScandalouS murder,
during which all their past Is raked
up by , a very thorough and a
trifle vindictive reporter. How
affairs are Strengthened out, makes
an entertaining If not epochal
film.
H. B. Warner, with all Of his
case of Characterization, is the
energetic district attorney, and he
plays his role well. Evelyn Brent
is his wife with an unsavory past
who becomes involved in more
scandal.
To Lew Cody, as an old-time
friend Of hers, go the acting
honorS. Mr.. Cody, always suave
and just as convincing does much
by a part that could easily have
become maudlin. Walter Byron,
Marceline Day and Ned Sparks
are all satisfactory in their re.
spective roles.
The story Is enacted with q
commendable lack Of histrionics,
and so proves more CONVINCING
than otherwise could be expected.
A denunciation Of certain mem
berS of the fourth estate, personi.
fled by Ned Sparks, does not aid
the realism, nor do scenes in one

in an Exciting
Feature

MAN Against Woman" fresh
from Hollywood for its first show.
ing at Keith's this week presents
a rather novel triangle Of "cop.
per-" a torch singer and crook
wherein Johnny McCloud. the de.
mon Of the New York police, not
only gets his man but gets his
woman. too, even though he has
to put her in jail to do it.
Johnny, who has risen to the
ranks of the most feared man on
the force by virtue Of the path
of broken noses and jawbones he
has left in >gangland, is in love
with Lola. the torch singer, who
in turn loves George. the crook.
It develops into a nice little hate
feud when Lola aids George to
escape on his way to the Big
House and Johnny Is suspended
from the force through neglect of
other duties. The three meet in
Bermuda, the men in the employ
of Mouse Ennis. gangster chief,
in q neat set of double-croSSing on
all parts. Their subsequent re-
turn to New York packs a punch.
Jack Holt Wins
Jack Holt has not wandered
far afield in the role Of Johnny.
He is still the strong, silent man
of action though on the winning
side in the love game for
change. 3"
He is supported by Lillian
Miles, who may or may not be
a new platinum menace, easy on
the eyes with the added attrac-
ton Of the currently popular
husky voiced song ability. Wal

About the Pitture
The screen has q note Of som.

Stitious tendencies.
The story concerns itself with
the lives Of three little girls in
Public School No. 62-the rich
girl, the tomboy, and Saturdays
child. Their lives do not cross
again until 10 years have passed
and the rich girl has become the
diScontented wife of a wealthy
lawyer and the mother Of an ador-
able boy; the tomboy has served a
term for grand larceny and is now
on the stage, while Saturdays
child still works for a living. At
this point melodrama takes pos

is kidnapped, the mother has
