George Ade has even placed his moral at the end of the show, justi- fiably, too, ,it seems, to the effect that no men are really lagy if placed | in_the proper job, Meighan shows to good advantage in the picture and completely fills the role. The beautiful .Lois Wilson is good to see throughout, and the cast includes also Theodore Roberts, William P. Carletem, Sylvia Ashton and others. The story concerns an Indigent lawyer-fisherman—his herolun over- geas—his meeting with the ‘herpine, as a Red Cross worker, and then the return to his old home town and slump back to fishing and catching grasshoppers. Through love for the however, and spurred on by her, he becomes a force in the com- munity, and finally runs for Congress. Refusing to be bought off by the interests of a rallroad, he thinks he is disillusioned and flees to the forest and stream for repose—to find it not.

What is said to be Mack Sennett's first attempt at a big reel production is shown this week at the Metropoli- an in “The Crodsroads of New Yorkj" a comedy-drama tnat pleased large ouses during.the afternoon and last night. The photographic work is the acting of all the characters unusually satisfactory and the story interesting throughout. But for sev- eral flippant subtitles there is hardly a point open to adverse criticism. The story in tabloid form tells of the country boy being shippgd_ to New York, where a wealthy undle re- sides; the cold turndown of the yqun man; his employment as s street sweeper; the reported death fn Alaska of his uncle, who was trying to es. cape a breach of promise suit, and the young man's inheritance of the dead man’s fortune. The country boy, now wealthy, |s taken in hand by ‘schemers and is also sued for breach of promise. The supposed dead man turns up In court, quashing the: case, and then the thrills start with the ‘abduction of an heiress with whom the young man has fallen in love. The girl's father, a big man on the stock exchange. is enticed away so that a drive can be made at his pet stock. The country boy recalls That gthe last time he had seen th heiress was in the company of a dis- carded suitor. He dashes for the home of this man and finds the girl and her father prisoners. A terrific fight follows, with the rescue of fath- er and daughter. an exciting chase | after'the villain. his accidentajgdeath, the result of his auto going over a cliff; the saving of the father's stock investment, and the “happy ending.” Theé action” is strenuous throughout and the picture evidently scored a big hit with the patrons of the Metro- politan. The added features include “Circus Days,” showing trained animals and! excited kids; the Pathe news pictures and current topics. RIALT0—“Divorce Coupons.” | That an old theme can be made interesting and hold an audience when the star of the cast has person- ality and ability is demonstrated by Corinne Grifith, in the Vitagraph production. “Divorce Coupons.” The story itself is not mew, but the way in which it has been produced and the excellent cast soon attract the attention. The story deals with a young southern girl in poor circumstances, Linda Catherton (Corinne Griffith), who has become so palled by the poverty that any way of escape is desirable to her. The opportunity arises when Roland Bland (Holmes E. Herbert). a clubman of poor reputa- tion, visits the town as best man at| the wedding of a rich girl friend of | Linda sells the family heir- looms to dress in fashion, with the idea of captivating Bland, marrying him and then being discarded with a settlement for the rest of her life. She attains her ends. but, of course, both Bland and Linda reaily learn to love each other and continué happily until Bland's friend, unable to bor. row money from him any more plots to ruin his happy marriage. He suc- ceeds by the aid of a letter written by Linda before she fell in love with Bland. The scheme is, however, later discovered by Linda's husband, who Linda follows to prevent the murder, Bland and his wife both miss each other but find the body of the in- tended victim, and each’is under the impression that the other committed the crime. It is later discovered that another woman, who also loves Bland, is the culprit. s A Triart production, “Hope,” sup: ports the main feature. It portrays the story that gave George Frederick | Watts the inspiration to paint his famous masterpiece , “Hope.” Mary Astor, a delightful new favorite of the sgreen, supported by Ralph Faulk- er, plays the stellar role. A Christie comedy, “Mile-a-Minute jchase and the Fox Newsettes are shown. ‘The orchestra under the direction of George Wild gave a pleasing rendi- tion of “Bohemtian Girl” selections. COLUMBIA—“Reported Missing.” Owen Moore, Pauline Garon, Nita Naldi, Tom Wilson and others of an exceptionally able Internstignal News cast gave Columbia Theate} patrons 3 round of pleasure and thrills last night when “Reported Missing” open- jed for the week.
