At the picture's beginning Tom Meighan is at the top of the social ladder, rich, successful, cnvied by all. Then suddenly his leaving an inheritapee of handful of worthless <tock certificates, So the beautiful 0ld home is sold, and Tom takes his place as foreman in the factory which his father formerly owned.

A short while later he returns, worth about eight millions in realit but looking like a tramp. He keer the great secret from even his mother, and rapidly spreads the conviction that he is dead broke by seeking a job and trying to renew the mort- sage. His idea is to discover who are his real frlends, but they are faw and far between, and our hero becomes a bit cynical and, Monte Cristo-like, plans a campaign which will crush’the hypocrites and munif- icently reward the faithful few who bave helped him in his hour of need. The unfolding of this plan forms a denouement which has clements of urpr And_the look differe the top lool However, the audience m nave concluded ‘that the moral Stake your little to gain all.” A news film and Aesop’s Fable are supplementary attractions. RIALTO—“On the High Seas.” Placing Dorothy Dalton and Jack Holt together in a movie picture Is sure to prove a big attraction, as both are strong favorites of the movie pa- tron. This was demonstrated last night when the Rialto was packed to the ‘doors to see the pair in the sen- ational melodrama, “On the High Miss Dalton is thoroughly at home n acting the part of the heroine in tirring scenes and she find: ¥ pportunities in her tory.

CENTRAL—“The Sin Flood.” “When the devil was sick, the devil | 16 lons fray of | a monk would be, summing up “The Sin Flood,” which was shown at the Central Theater yesterday, and will continue there through Wednesday. But that is not a reflection upon the efforts of Helen Chadwick, James Kirkwood and Rici .| York cooperage firm, and her com- kford, remains the | as a good story as | teresting plcture—one a little ‘out of the ordinary and well worth seeing. Tha outstanding scene in the pic- ture shows the principals of the story, imprisoned in a cafe basement, ex- pecting a flood to burst down the doors and end it all. The persons in that prison are a -crooked cotton broker, a clergyman, a chorus girl, a drunkard, a philosopher, a political grafter and a bartender, who has Stematically robbed his employer y week in the year. All are seized with an intense desire to wipe off the slate and go to the end clear of sin. Fear, which up to the time of re- pentance had a deadly grip on each prisoner, suddenly passes, the door is thrown open in the expectation that the waters will rush in (for there is only a few hours’ supply of oxygen, and death by suffocation.is not a pleasant prospect), but—well, the closing_scenes of “The Sin Flood,” Lloyd Hamilton. shows the difficulties of obtaining an education in the far western town of Angel- ville. The picture, “The Educator,” is a two-reel burlesque. Added to this iv @ current issue of Selznick News.

The production is well presented and should make one of the leading motion picture attractions in this city this weq Vampirism runs through the whole drama, with its thrills and heartbreaks. “Pitter-Patter,” a pleasing comedy, is also shown.
