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
