"Cupid, the Cowpuncher which
come to the Moon theater this
week, stars Will Rogers and is typi-
cal of his acting. . ' -As
Alec Lloyd, one of the Bar Y
cwpunchers, Rogers is a favorite
'u 4 gang1 and has won for hint'
self the nickname of "Cupid'
through his unfailing propensity for
marrying off "the boys" the
matches riot always proving unal
loved haooiness.
Zack Sewell (Andrew Robson)
owner of the ranch, does, not look
. upon the happy-go-lucky 'Alec with
much favor because, Alec interfered
when Sewell was employing a cheap
city slicker posing as a doctor when
; his daughter, Rose's, baby was sick.
Alec got Dr. Billy Trowbridge (Roy
LaraJaw) to arrive on the scene tn
the nick of time by the extremely
simple device of roping Doc Simp
son (Lloyd Whitlock) when the lat
. ter was bowling alony the country
road in his Ford. Of course Sewell
, was relieved to have the baby made
well, but his stiff-necked arrogance
resented Alec s butttnsr in.
- Sewell tells Alec his time is com
ing and that some day he will meet
a woman whom he will want, but
who will scorn him. Sure enough
" she comes. Sewells daughter. Macie,
(Helene Chadwick),' fresh from an
eastern boarding school. Alec
promptly falls in love with her. Of
course, he wins her for his bride.

"The Soul of Youth; playing- at
the Sun theater,' is a delightful
story of boyhood life, different from
any picture ; which has been pro
duced, and proving that real dramaJ
exists in the lives of the men of
tomorrow as well as in the lives
, of today's grownups.
' The principal lead in the picture
is played by Louis Sargeant, who,
after his enviable success in the
title-role in the picture "Huckle
berry Finn," is a real drawing card
aljby himself. But there are others
as noted. Lila'Lee neeeds no in
troduction to film patrons; William
Colliery jr., the ' sort of the noted
Nf w York stage star, went to Los
Angeles to play a juvenile role.
' Other notables are Clyde Fillmore,
Ernest Butterworth, Claude Peyton,
Sylvia, Ashton, etc.
Judge Ben Lindsey, famous
judge of the juvenile delinquency
court, and his wife, Mrs. Ben Lind
sey, also appear in certain scenes
of the picture. -
; The picture i filled with comedy
situations and has a strong dramatic
theme concerning the boy who
grows up a foundling and finally
. takes to the city streets, preferring
tfiem to the cheerless institution.
The picture shows his subsequent
acts and character development and
proves that under the right environ
ment every boy will show a lot of
good qualities. It is a production
that will appeal to young and old
like.

The picture opens with trageay,
outsooken in its nature.
. . a
Since the story concerns a physi
cian ot unimpeacnaoie character,
who, through a cruel prank of fate
unknowingly marries a former mis
tress of his bosom friend and fellow
ohvsician. a man absolutely' devoid
of scruples, it resolnes itself into a
mighty big tidal- wave of all the
emotions conceivable, especially
when it is entirely through the vil
lainy of the "bad friend" that the
good man has to serve five years W
prison for a crime he did not com
mit. As an ex-convict, the unfortu
nate doctor is at first a scoffer of
all that's arood he cannot under
stand why he should have been he
innocent victim when, according to
common and altogether, erroneous
belief, so many of the guilty escape
unscathed. But that the.hand which
aids and comforts all good mortals
has not been withered, is finally
broutrht home to him through the
devotion of a good woman and the
manner in which this is brought
about is said to greatly augment the
value of the narrative as .a human
document '

When Ben Ames Williams' story,
Touiours de L'Audace" was pub
lished in the Saturday Evening Post
recently, it instantly created a sen-
ation. Perhaps millions ot persons
read the story and .now that it has
been adapted to the screen for Wal
lace Reid under the name of "Always
Audacious,"' it doubtless will attract
much attention. "Always Audacious"
ill be -shown at - the Strand this
eek. . '-.;'
In this remarkable photoplay, Mr.
Reid plays two, roles those of Perry
Danton, a wealthy club man and
llettante, and Slim Attucks, a crook.
Both men were born on the same day
and both are alike as two peas. The
crook conceives the idea of doing
away with his double and assuming
his place in society and in the bus
iness world. He causes Danton to be
hanghaied and with the aid of.con-
Tie Camera Shot Heard Round theWrld
federates personates him successfully
until Danton turns up determined to
regain h:s own. How this is occom
plished makes a highly interesting
story and the climax Js one of the
most amazing ever seen in a motion
Picture. .
Of course, there is a pretty love
story of which Margaret Loomis, tie
leading Woman, is the central figure,
Mr. Reid doubles in many of the
scenes as Danton and Attucks with
surprising results.
Empress "The Little Grey Mouse"
and "The Purple Beggar."
Louise Lovely is starred in "The
Little Grey Mouse, cinema attrac
tion at the Empress theater the first
four days of thisweek.
The story in the main deals with
a beautiful and talented woman, who
because of her retiring and con
servative life, is raven the title of
"the little grey mouse" by a worldly
woman who has ensnared her hus
band a worthless chap who accept!
tne credit tor ner literary genius as
a -matter of course 'and finally di
vorces her on false but circumstantial
evidence Having had her., freedom
thrust upon her, she goes west,
where she gains both farne and for
tune with her pen, and, in the end
gains also the love of a worthy man.
"A Beggar in Purple," an Edgar
Lewis production, is shown the lat
ter half of this week at the Empress
theater. It is a story of business
men, methods. and morals and de
picts the sorrow and happiness in
the life of a man who was mad for
money and revenge. How true love
worked a miracle in his life is told
with human interest effect.

Paliser Case," "The Deadlier Sex"

Hart Files Suits
To Stop Showing of
His Old Films
Starting a campaign to put a stop
to the exhibition of his old films dis
guised under new and false, titles,
William S. Hart, the noted motion
picture, star, has filed suit in the su
perior court of Los Angeles county
against the Pjeerless Film Service, a
corporation, asking for an injunc
tion, an accounting and damages in
the amount of $250,000. A second
?ction has been brought, against one
j u e. u Donnen, a tneater proprietor.
to restrain ' htm from showing old
pictures under false titles, an ac
counting and $25,000 damages. These
suits are but the forerunners ot
others. The star's attorneys, Weth-
erhorn, Hoyt & Jones, have in prep
aration five more suits which will
be filed in the next few days against
other offenders.
William S. Hart has been a pio
neer in the effort to put an end to
this nefarious practice. For the pro
tection of the motion picture theater
going public, he instituted a pro
ceeding before the federal trade
commission at Washington in 1918
(p restrain Joseph Simmonds, who
was doing busir.essyunder the name
of "Wy, .Hs Productions rcompany,"
from putting out these old pictures
under false titles. The commission
held that the practice is illegal and
has a tendency to mislead and de
fraud the public, and issued a re
straining injunction. .
Ihis decision seemed to have a
salutary effect for a time, but it was
only temporary. Recently other dis
tributors and exhibitors have re
sorted to the same practice and Mr.
Hart has again found it tiecessarv
to institute suits to protect the mo
tion pictujre theatergoing public and
honest exhibitors.
