"Black Roses" la - a fcdwerful drama of American social life from the pen of E. Richard - Schayer, well-known screen writer whose Intimate know ledge of the talents and capability of Hayakaw, the star, enabled him to write a story vastly more suited to Hayakawa's personality than would have been the case with anyone else. Operation of a gang of crooks un der the eyes of the police is depicted in the play. Beginning with the mur der of an old member of the gang, they fasten the crime on his garden er, Yoda, played by riayaxawa, ana then abduct the murdered man's wife. thus making certain she cannot be tray them. ' Yoda manages to escape from pris on and, thoroughly disguised, be comes a confederate of the gang, with the intent of obtaining vengeance and rescuing the wife. She, in the meantime. Is helpless in the power of the gang and imprisoned in the Chinese quarter of Jew York, almost becomes the victim" of their plot, to force her into association with them as a safebreaker. To attain their ends, they employ hypnotism, but happily her rescue Is effected before they have achieved their ' purpose. With subtle skill. Yoda gradually draws the toils closer around them, and eventually accomplishes the tri umph of a justifiable vengeance, wherein is no time for regret or re pentance as the sure arm of fate strikes remorselessly and swiftly. A Monte Banks comedy, entitled "Nearly Married," and a Ford Education-Travel film are other screen numbers for today and Saturday.
