At the Ventnor Theatre today,
I tomorrow and Monday is “Tri
fling with Honor,” a picture
! graphically depicting the harm
that results when men and wom
en believe that the finer things
in life are not sacred and that
the moral code is an infringe
ment on personal rights and
a destroyer of pleasure. Prom
inent in the cast are Rockliffe
Fellows, Fritzi Ridgway, Buddy
Messinger and Hayden Steven
son. Proof of the popularity of
this picture is evidenced in the
fact that it is also being shown
at the Bijou Theatre on the same
dates.
“Mary of the Movies,” being
the main inducement at the Bi
jou Theatre on Wednesday, deals
with the struggles of an obscure
little girl, talented and beauti
ful, trying to gain fame in the'
movies. In her visits to the vari
ous studios in Hollywood are seen
forty of the leading motion pic
ture stars of America. Into the
plot is woven a love story that
gives the picture an added ap
peal of heart interest.
Of Marriage
Showing that matrimony is a
transient relationship that lasts
no longer than the fickle whims
and fancies of the husband and
wife, “Temporary Marriage,”
begins a four-day consecutive
engagement at the Capitol Thea
tre on Saturday. It illustrates
with daring realism just what
occurs in millions of homes that

causes domestic disruption and
divorce. The picture is an ex
planation of why matrimony is
not a permanent institution.
One of the mysteries of mod
ern living conditions is why it
is that a woman who has ardent
ly loved once can again bring
herself to marry another man be
cause of her first husband’s
death, and why a woman who
has experimented in marriage
once or more and has found it
I repugnant will risk another
chance. For the solution to this
problem see “Why Women Re
marry” at the City Square Thea
tre, Sunday and Monday.
Jane Novak heads the notable
cast who have as their vehicle
“Divorce” which is being offered
the patrons of the Criterion The
atre on Wednesday and Thurs
day. This is another fearless ex
pose of the evils in the home that
are threatening civilization by
causing complete annihilation of
the marital bonds.
Of Excitement
Scenes of the devastating San j
Francisco fire make a thrilling'
climax for the picture being pre
sented at the Savoy Theatre all j
next week. The title is “The
Shock.” Lon Chaney enacting
the role of a crippled crook is
given ample opportunity to prove j
his title of “the man with a thou
sand faces.” He is well support
ed by the fascinating Virginia
Valli. The plot centers about the1
noble love of a thief, whose twist
ed body is symbolic of his soul,
for a girl far above him socially,
morally and intellectually. How
he makes the supreme sacrifice
for her and how he is reformed
constitute a tale remarkable.
The only other picture of ex
citement showing at a local thea
tre this half of the week is
“Bavu” the main attraction at
the Capitol on Wednesday. The
plot of the story is woven into
a revolution wherein a nobleman
and an illiterate peasant fight
side by side for their queen, the
woman they both passionately
love. Scenes of hand to hand
fighting, battles between armies
and episodes of adventure give
the play the well deserved agno
men of “everlastingly exciting.”
Of Love
Picturesque England and ex
otic Egypt with its famous Pyra
mids are the settings for “Bella
Donna,” commencing a four-day
run at the Colonial Theatre to
day. The motif of the story is
how a young man falls in love
with a disreputable woman. The
adventures, the escapades, the
sufferings that result from this
infatuation make a cinema of un
rivalled interest and splendor. Its
true type and calibre is best de
scribed by stating that the lead
ing role is interpreted by Pola
Negri.
The only other film with a love
theme is “The Heart of Wetona,”
scheduled to be the feature at the
Ventnor Theatre on Tuesday and
Wednesday. This drama centers
about the sufferings of a beauti
ful Indian girl whose life is noth
ing but sacrifice for those whom
she loves. How she undergoes
pain and martyrdom for a white
man who in turn gives her but
passing thought, makes the pro
duction of pathos and emotional
beauty seldom found on the sil
vered sheet. The role of Wetona
is played by Norma Talmadge
who does full justice to the dif
ficult part.
Adaptation From the Novel
Blasco Ibanez, the great Span
ish novelist, has assisted in
adapting another of his popular
books for screen presentation.

Snub Pollard, Harold Lloyd,

Western
There is but one Western film if %
being offered at the local thea- 5 ■;
tres this half of the week. It is V;
‘A Man’s Size” with William
Russell in the role of a rough
and ready cowboy whose hard
ness of heart is only softened
when he finally falls in love. This
dim is at the City Square on
Thursday and is complemented -
by Round Five of H. C. Witwer’s
famous Collier serial, “Fighting
Blood.”
Of similar type and appealing
to the lovers of western drama
is the production, “Outlaw of the
6ea” in which are shown the pi
rates of modern times who are
robbing the smaller vessels that
ply between Europe and America.
Comedy Drama
The man who gets whatever he
is sent after is the hero of “The
uo-Cetter,” a Peter B. Kyne
story, being on the Sunday and
Monday programs of the Cri
terion. Included in the cast are
such dramatic notables as Seena
Owens, T. Roy Barnes and Wil
liam Norris.
Betty Compson, Bert Lytell,
I May McAvoy and Gareth Hughes
are the scintillant performers ofre»js
the play at the Central Theatre
on Sunday and Monday. “Kick
In” is the name, and the first
word of the title aptly describes
j the nature of the production,
j since its humor and situations,
[ all have plenty of “kick.”
