Miles and miles of sugar plantation, roll before the spec tator in .undulating curves to end enly where the thickness of the for ests in the distance obscures further view, By contrast, other scenes of the picture feature the sun-kis.ed shore of Ja&aica with natives load ing the. ships. .

English lads of good antecedents but no ambition. It is among the latter class that Gin ger finds Clifford Standish,: who has been exiled from home and h,as gent ly slid along1 the downgrade made ilippery by Jamaica rum.

"De Luxe Anne," featuring Norma Talmtfdge at the" Suit theater this week,' is Said to be very different from the average- crook play. It tells the story of a finely-bred woman whose husband is interested m criminal psychology and who is herself transformed into a criminal by an accident. The crime she prac tises ' is ' the de-luxe game, an adaptation of the old badger game in which the woman poses as a seller of de-luxe editions and inveigles some individual with a weakness for pretty girls, whereupon her male confederate breaks , into the scene and blackmails ,the .victim whom he has found in an-embarrassing posi tion with his Wife. ; '. Miss laimadges leading man is Eugene O'Brien, who performed ; similar function in "Ghosts of Yes terday" and "By -Right ;, of Pur chase" for this stor. y j v The picture is .a revival. "Law and the Woman." T , Because a woman, - guilty of capital crime, was superstitious to the extent that breaking her mirror foreshadowed doom for her she was finally forced to confess at the eleventh hour and save the life of a man convicted of murder, though innocent. . . Such is the central plot of "The Law and the woman," starrig Betty Compson at the Rialto theater this -week. , It is by means of this idea plaving upon the superstition of the guilty woman that Miss Compson, in the role of the faithful wife of the accused man, succeeds in obtaining a confession- from a vampire, whom she confronts with .the gruesome reminders of her crime. Ihe pic ture shows the danger of circum stantial evidence in homicidal cases. i "The Conquering Power" "The Conquering Power," the chief cinema attraction at the Era press theater this week. - It is an adaptation of June Mathis of Balzac s novel, ' Lucerne urandet The scene is laid in a provincial city of France, where the miserly old Grandet hoards his gold and lives in poverty with his daughter, Eu genie.

So long as you think of a beauti ful woman in ttrms of legs and breasts and proximity, jut o lontf are you a fit companion for the cen sor and may wallow at home with him in his mire. The sunrise on a mountain-crown, a young deer un der canyon cedars, a girl dancing in the dusk these are three of nature's songs. No philosophy of man, no decadent perversion of religion, can make any one of them unclean. Photodramatist. The tremendous Interest in high grade motion pictures on the part of the Cuban public is clearly indicated as the result of a motion picture con test conducted by El Mnndo, one of the leading daily newspapers in Havana. Photographs of Gloria Swanson, Agnes Ayres and Betty Compson, with the upper portions of f; May Allison h the latest of .-the their faces masked, were published in El Mundo, and prizes were offered to those who could correctly identify the various player.

"Footfalls." A distinct photoplay novelty is promised in "Footfalls," playing this week at the Moon theater. JSew York reviewers and audiences hailed the production as a notable motion picture achievement. Footfalls is declared to be a gripping and thrilling mystery photo play, 'a cinedrama of an entirely new type. It deals with tne experi ences of a blind cobbler in a little New England fishing village. Hiram' bcudder developed an extremely acute sense of hearing and a faculty which enables him not only to rec ognize any resident of the village by the sound of his or her toottans, but to sense the state of mind of his intimates m the same way.
