I fornians, roughly appraised, mount to_milllons more. - I Lewis Stone, admittedly the most ; hero of the “north- | western mounted police” and who is so well fitted to the role as to convey the impression that he could do nothing else so well, does away with that theory with an astonishing display of the qualities of the roman- ‘ tio adventurer who is the chlef factor in the play. The kindly smile which he usually reserves for pitiful crim- " ;inals and snow-bound infants rac diates into romantic devotion, and, his sword fight nst a quartet of ' villains is a thrilling thing to see.

Baron Sapt! has never been visioned with greater force of loyalty than by Robert Ede- son, whose “Strongheart” is a matter of dramatic fame. Barbara La Marr, Lois Lee and a dozen others—sol- diers, courtiers, prelates and attend- ants—add individually to the splendor | of the whole. !

The real monarch, weak anll | overfond of wine, both red and yex-' low, is taken prisoner on the eve of his coronation, and the treacherous brother is about to rush the throne when the situation is saved by a dis- tant relative who chances to be on hand to personate the rightful ruler until the crisis is tided over.

Such an absorbing story needs n» supplemental features, although those provided are good. PALACE—“The $5 Baby.” “The $5 Baby.” although & perfectly appropriate title for Viola Dana’s plo- ture shown at the Palace Theater this week, is somewhat misleading to those familiar with Miss Dana’s usual type of picture. This young actress usually lays great emphasis on the fact that she has been voted the “flapper supreme’ of the screen and she seems to be very proud of the title. Whi r or not she feels that the flapper is on the wane in the eves of the public, it is impossible to State, but at least she portrays a very different type of girl in this, her latest picture. This is the story of a little orphan stolen from the steps of a foundling asylum, where. she had been left by a desperate mother. The thief is an unscrupulous degenerate.

A note suggesting a possible reward when the child has reached its eighteenth birthday keeps the scoundrel Interested to such an extent that he monthly pays the 10 cents interest due on the 35 which Uncle Ben lent him on the baby as a pawned article. Because of this hold which the scoundrel keeps on the child and the growing affection of Tncle Ben for the little waif, and also some delightful scenes of young love, the interest of the audience is held until the very last scene, when an un- oxpected twist ends the story with a verv neat and logical finish. “The $5 Baby” originally as a short magasine story. by the well known writer, Irvin 8. Cobb. It is an extremely original little tale. The one criticism of it as a plcture is that it shows so clearly its con- struction as a short story. rather than a_scenario. There are hardly com- plications enough. to make it a real ‘motion_ picture. The action drags just & bit in spite of the careful de- tail as to settings and characteriza- tion. The setting' forth of some of the Hebrew customs and life on New York's famous East 8ide holds the in- terest even when the movement of the story becomes. almost stagnant. The character of the old pawn®roker nearly swamps Miss Dana's por- trayal in dominating the Mfiur& still Miss D-na makes little Rul a very appealing character, and John Harron, as the voung ‘‘excavator,” son of an Irish police sergeant. makes an attractive young hero.
