( Viola Dana Playa at Emprfit; Tfn Dollar RaWe at World; MTravflio" On" at Moon. By JOHN E. KENNEBECK. Rodolph Valentino and Gloria Swanson modernize the love affair of Antony and Cleopatra in "Beyond the Rocks," an Elinor Glyn story at the Strand theater this week. Yes, Rodolph and. Gloria, the greatest lovers on the screen, are the central figures in a gorgeous love drama of Paris nights, Alpine crags and society boudoirs. William S. Hart comes back to the screen in a knockout western drama, .'Travelin' On," at the Moon theater. He is the same William Hart in this play as he was when he thrilled audiences several years ago in his famous Tri angle pictures. "The Rosary" is immortal ized on the screen, with Lewis S. Stone playing the lead as Father Kelly. The picture is the chief cinema attraction at the Sun theater this week. Clara Kimball Young is the chief attraction at the Rialto theater this week in "What No Man Knows," a human in terest play. "The Ten-Dollar". Raise," adapted from the story of the same name by Peter B. Kyne, is on the screen at the World theater this week with Wil liam V. Mong and Marguerite de la Motte in the leading roles. "Beyond the Rocks." A tremendous romance with the Alpj of Switrerland, the Gardens of Versailles and Paris and London es tates at the background, written by Elinor Glyn, and starring Gloria Swanson, is "Beyond the Rocks," which it the chief attraction at the Strand theater this week. The theme is a lesson to women who marry without love and shows what hap-? pens when they do find the man; of their heart. Rodolph Valentino is featured. ' The principal roles are' capably played by Robert Bolder, Alec B. Francis, Mabel Van Buren, Gertrude Astor, Edythe Chapman, June El vidge. F. R. Butler,'. Helen Dunbar and Raymond Blathwayt. The story is one of Elinor Glyn's famous novel-romances, wherein Gloria Swanson, the wife, in a forced marriage to a middleage'd millionaire, falls in love with young Lord Bra condale. i Aket a tempestuous and dramatic, sequence', the story ends satisfactorily. '.' ' Hart at Moon. To be unaware of his own name, unable to read or write and to adopt a cattle brand as his tote means of identification that is the role por trayed by William S. Hart in his lat est picture, "Travelin' On," now cur rent at thje Moon theater. J. B. is the identification disc of this man whom fate has decreed shall be a wanderer, forever travelin' on, ana it nas cursed mm with a mistrust of everything that walks on lest than four legs. And so he roams tne tace ot the earth, caring only for himself and his pinto pony, taking whatever ne tsvants until there comes the .day when he finds that the cards have been stacked against him; it is when he comes up against the power of God, a power which he cannot . understand until it is shown to him through the love and trust of a beau tiful woman. ' Ethel Grey Terry is leading woman in this poising epic of the Arizona-that-was. ' Little Mary Jane Irving and Brimsfey Shaw are in the cast. V "What No Man Knows," How a woman rn anpnd near. ticallir hf-r whnl life ctrtvintr . with might and main to win for herself the love that has been foolishly giv en to another constitutes one of the finest romances and present-day dreams the screen has seen in many months. The title of this new photo- drama is "What No Man Knows," and presents Clara Kimball Young . in what the critics say to be the best acting of her long and brilliant screen career. It opens today at the v Rialto theater. .' 1 The question of who is the more unselfish, the man or the woman, is splendidly answered in this big new picture that boasts of one of the finest casts ever assembled. Little Jean Carpenter, child wonder who . won the hearts of millions in Mary Pickford's "Through the Back Door," is one of the cast that makes this a production of unusual sig- . nificance. - . - ' . The story proves that the feminine heart is still greater in charity and love than the male, whatever argu ments there may be to the con trary. "The Ten Dollar Raise." In "The Ten Dollar Raise," which is playing this week at the World theater, J. L. Frothingham has chosen a story of life as the average movie goer sees it.

In "The Rosary," . showing this week at the Sun theater, Dore Da vidson brings out a far deeper ex pression of human emotions through his present effort than was shown by his performance of Papa Kantor in performance of Papa Kantor in "Hu moresque" since in "The Rosary" he plays the part of a business man in a small community and his deep interest in - the public welfare and community activities he has won the love of his neighbors and close com panionship of a Catholic priest. Through his close association with Father Kelly, Isaac Abrahamson. the country merchant of Hebrew faith, does not feel himself an isolated in dividual in the community since their bond of friendship expresses man $ common Drotnernood an co-opera tion for the good of their fellow man.
