It adheres rather faithfully to the story, pre- sents excellent acting and fine local olor, John Bowers has the role of “Patches” who has gone west to be- come a man after his girl has thrown him down for a bridge build- er. He shows fine metal right off the reel and at once gét# in good with westerners. He is never able to keep out of trouble however and almost takes a girl away from hie best friend without intending to do so at all. , The picture is not a sad one on the whole but has been presented with a highly humorous emphasis that adds much to its interest. The plot tightens toward the end as does the emotional quality and when fi- element of sacrifice that Harold Bell Wright wou'd never have over- looked in the world though he has been criticised strongly for it. Marguerite de la Motte plays the role of the girl who refused to mar- ry the millionaire until he becomes & man. June Marlowe is the other woman of importance. “00S AND ENDS” NEW ee: OFFERING AT COLUMBIA) “Sci a ““When a Man's = Man,” Harold Bell Wright's great novel, featuring The Columbia theater is offering | Jonm Bowers, which opened at the America Theater yeaterday, and will @ new show today and tomorrow. | be continued at that playhouse today, Sunday and Monday, can easily It {se Dick Hyland’s Revie in te be called one of the finést pictures of its type yet predaced. 3," a novelty rev! f 4 U oe Ends of eae fs ty ate oni pitts iz : P; ® view that is exceptional.
