A iotoria—“Forever.” (■rand—"JI in ; rune's Gal Impulsive, witty ami loving the dramatic, I Asa Della Jtolii a of ‘•En ter Madame," lak s clever means to . recapture the erring husband who is seeking a divorce in order to marry a “home body" who will bo more of a wife to him than lias she herself. I lie brilliant and beautiful opera singer. When she hears his plans to divorce her she .hastens home from her Euro pean concert tour and after waiting for two months in vain for him “to break down t lie door." she invites him to a farewell dinner party and tells him to hring "the other lady." Con trasts sometimes work havoc, as does this one. Clara Kimball Young in the title role does well by her emotional part. Her abilities, which are chiefly along that line, fit her well for the play. Her Italian servants are well iast. and Eliott Dexter as the hus band would no doubt he satisfactory if Norman Trevor had not been in (lie part when the play was on the legitimate stage. There are many more subtitles than usual in a motion picture drama, a wise move, too, as the dialogue made the play the suc cess it was. The picture will be at the Empress till Thursday. "The Young Rajah.” now at the Strand, Is something of a disappoint ment. And not to the audience alone. Tho handsome ystar, Rodolph Valen tino. in describing his sensations when he saw the picture, has said in an open letter to the public, “Felt sick." In justice it must ho said that Ro dnlph is having a trifling bicker with Ills producers, and might like to queer 11m picture, hut there is truth in his remark that it was "a program fea ture whoso contents were cut and compressed like a box of sardines." “Amos Judd,” the original book, wus a good narrative and had a dra- ; matlc and artistic ending, lmt the pic- j turn has a mere bowing acquaintance with the book. The press book claims of it that it lias pictorial value, and that much is true in tlie scenes por traying tho maharajah's palace and some of Judd's visions of Indian gods. And Rodolph In the robes of an In dian prince is not sio-h a nightmare himself. But the thing fizzles. To stick to the Fourth of July metaphor, there is nothing but gravel in the torpedo. "Pictorial value" can also be claimed wjth justice for "The Man from Hell's Hiver,” showing at the Moon, for It depicts the great waste spaces of the far north, but was ac tually taken in winterbound Yoseniite Valley, one of the most beautiful of the national parks. Kva Novak and j Irving Cummings play the lovely Ma- | ha 11a and her mounted police lover. who mushes in from the wilds to discover his sweetheart the bride of another. He docs not know that she has married to save her father from arrest. His spirit is Broken, hut eager to ascertain the cause of her strange sacrifice he visits the priest of the mission. And he learns that the girl's husband is a fugitive from justice. It is then that the story re solves itself into a man hunt. Rin Tin, the dogwolf actor, comes in strong at the finish. But the mounted police have been exploited to the nth degree long ago, and there is nothing startlingly new in this picture. "I'm either going to make you look tip at me anti say ‘Good boy, Sam,' or look down and say ‘Don't he look natural?' ’’ And gritting his teeth in terror and high resolves, Douglas McLean, at the Rialto, goes off to ride "The Hot tentot," the beautiful but dangerous racehorse, in a steeplechase. The lines of the play which won such laughter from large audiences throughout the country have been re tallied In subtitles. The absurd situ ations in which a horse fearing yachtsman finds himself when ho be comes the accidental hero of a run away and Is mistaken for a famous steeplechase rider of the same name have been utilized to make a lively farce. It is Madge Bellamy who, as the beautiful and sporting heroine in a fashionable hunting community, in spires McLean to do the impossible. And boy liowdy! Personal experi ences with Hnglisli saddles make us just a bit sceptical about any one who doesn't know liow to ride win ning a steeplechase. Some photoplays are good enter tainment; others give one the feeling that one Is witnessing life Itself on the screen. "The Sin Flood,-’ now being shown at the Sun is the latter type. The beholder is carried along with the fortunes of the characters in a vivid wuy. The story of “The Sin Flood” de picts the changes in the characters of ten men and one woman who are trapped In a fashionable cafe by a flood in a Mississippi river town. How their characters change under the stress of facing almost certain death makes one of the most unusual pictures ever produced. Helene Chadwick is the only woman in a cast, which includes Janies Kirkwood and Richard Dix. The title of “Pawned” at the World conus from a series of melo- I dramatic pledges, either willingly or j unwillingly, made hy the principal characters. One pawns his life to the service of an international gambler. .Another pawns his soul to drugs, an other to drink, and the heroine Cover with wet baking sod*— afterward apply gently— VICKS V a ro Rub Ovet 17 Million Jan Used Yearly THE VALUE GIVING STORE* HOWARD STREET, BETWEEN 15TH AND 16TH STREETS Have the Metropolitan Van and Storage Co.
