PYY - *THE, WHITE MOLL” AT REX TODAY AND TOMORROW Seldom does a photoplay so pro- foundly stir an audience as did “The ‘White Moll,”” in which Pearl White appeared at the Rex' theatre last mnight. Tt is Miss White's first ap- pearance in a big special screen pro- duction, she having abandoned seri- ‘als. She is seen in one of the most assured the public, and this, the first show, will be the'proof thereof. Murray and Irwin, as “The Whist- lers from Birdland” present a novel act.in_costume, in. the imitation of birds and offering séveral. melodious whisthng numbers. Bunny Martin as ““The Navelty Girl,”»is a versatile entertainer, her act consisting of juggling and bal- ancing feats, and toe-dancing: % Ed .and Grace McConnell present what is always a drawing card, “Fun at the piano.’ ' Mr.s McDonnell. be- sides being an. excellent :pianist, is he possessor of a fine ‘voice, and has his credit, several pcpular songs that he has: written himself. Thetr 'planp, and harmony numbers will 'add considerable to the program. ‘““The Four Harmony Maids,” bill- ed as The Saxaphone Four, in'a aain- mugical . offering, * will _fittingiy 3¢ the bill with solos,” duets, and iuartette mumbers on’ that' most pleasing instrument, tHe saxaphone. La La Lueille,” a five part com- edy, featuring FEddie Lyons, and Lee Mecran, will” .e the picture offering ! 7 powerful stories ever shown on the silver sheet. A8 interpreted by Miss White and a cast of nqtable strength, “The ‘White Moll” carries a gripping ap- peal ‘which holds the spectator spell- bound. The picture is based on the famous story by Frank L. Packard, author of ‘“The Miracle. Man,” and the.adroitness with which the tre- mendous . theme out in the scenario, written by E. Lloyd Sheldon, rafses the picture to (the level of a classic. The story is laid in<the under- world, where Rhoda, a . reformed crook—played by Pearl White—re- ceives a fortune from a rich man for settlement work, and starts out to redeem the gangsters and thieves. She becomes interested jn *““The Spar- Tow,” a released convict’ who is be- ing forced back into the old life by “*The Dangler,” leader of the crooks. She obtains the help of ““The Pug,” a member of the gang whom she aids after he has been stabbed; and al- though she has several thrilling esca) from death, she evidently ac- complishes her purpose and also wins love and’ happiness. The " production opens with 2 + short prologue in which an intensely dramatic church scene, in sthe form of a vision, is presented. Pearl White injects into her work all ‘the screen magnetism which she P sges and is admirably supported by a cast headed by Richard C. Trav- ‘ers. ‘Harry Mallarde directed the picture, which is superbly staged.
