Said to be otic of the most re
markable picture productions of the
current season,' "The Inside of the
Cup," a picturization of Winston
Churchill s famous novel, opens to
day at the Strand theater.
When the book was published in
1913, its exposure of hyprocrisy
among wealthy churchgoers, prp-
voked bitter crticisin by the clergy
of England and this country. The
hero en the story, as in the picture,
is the rector of a fashionable church,
who becomes disgusted with certain
elements of hi? flock and severely
arraigns theni for their shame and
hypocrisies.
"Director Albeit Capcllani, howev
er, has paid marc attention to the
dramatic ft-atifrcs of the story than i
to the philosophy .which makes the
hook almost unforgettable. the
scenes are said to be thrilling and
the heart appeal culminating in the
fruition of a love romance, is irrc
sistable. The cast, beaded by Wil
liam P. Carleton and Edith Hallor, I
is unusually large and artistic.

"Outside the Law," chief cinema
attraction at the Moa theater this
week, shows the adventures of a
trio of crooks, who try to go straight
in spite of the persecutions of a vi
per of the underworld.
The story concerns the struggles
of a little group of crooks to free
themselves from the shackles of
crime and live the life they desire.
In this they are thwarted and
double-crossed by an evil and re
. vengeful figure of the half world,
who resents respectability.
In the background, and yet the
dominant personality of this drama,
is an old heathen philosopher, whose
ideas of right and wrong are based
bn no . political statute, and who
metes out an unsanctioned jus
tice "outside the law."
Priscilla Dean is said to be at
her dramatic best in this, ffbr first
picture since "The Virgin of Sfram
boul;" while Lon Chaney has a
dual role which is said to outshine
anything in his career of distinctive
and difficult screen impersonations.
Sun "Body and Soul" and -"The
Sportsman."
The feature attraction at the Sun
theater this week is Alice Lake in
"Body aifrl-Soul," a story centered
on studio life.
For added entertainment, H. S.
Goldberg, manager, has booked
Larry Semoo in "The Sportsman
" "Body ami Soul" is a photodrama
of artist life in Paris. It is a story
of an American girl art student who
resents the attention of a noted art
ist. Later the star appears as the same
girl as she was after an unusual in-

cident which changes her entire per

The oict'ure promises to present to
Miss Lake decidedly her greatest
opportunity.
Not a dual role picture, "Body
and Soul," nevertheless, is a test
of the young actress's range of
character portrayal, in that the na
ture, the soul of Claire Martin un
dergoes such a radical warping as
the result of the strange great ad
venture befalling her in the Quar
ter Latin.
Some unusual acrobatic stunts are
performed by Larry Semon in "Thfc
Sportsmai." He is a skillful acro
bat and the feats he docs are his
own invention.

woven into "The Greatest Love,"
starring Vera Gordon at the Rialto
theater this week.
Mother love is the dominant fea
ture of the picture, and the rise ef
the little immigrant family from
poverty to power in the new land
of opportunity, later followed by
tragedy and humiliation,- constitute
a cross section of life which might
le met just around any corner of
a big city. v
Vera Gordo.11 is magnificent as the
mother who with infinite oains
builds up the fortunes. o'f her family,
only to see them topple ovef when
she believed her work was accom
plished, and she could pass fhe re
mainder of her life in peace and
prosperity.
In removing her daughter fftmi
the poverty stricken squalor of the
East Side slum, Mrs. Lantini ' e
lieved she was also removing her
from temptation and danger. That
evil is not a question of environ
ment was proven to her at a time
when it seemed as if her cup ot sor
row' was overflowing.
