From the time she makes her appearance in the play, which opens in an orphan asylum, until her contemplated marriage, the play is 500d and entertaining. The story deals with Tim O'Brien, who is suffering from an ailment that makes it impossible for him to see during the daylight. He follows the profession of a burglar at night. His wife goes to the orphan asylum to secure some one to care for their small child Viola_Dana is selected for the place. From the time she enters the home she is like a beam of sunshine. The police close in on Tim and his wife, but they manage to escape, following a rob- bery. The wife. however, is killed by ‘an automobile.

Simplioity of motive, logic of plot, variety of action and fine Interpre- tations by an excellent cast make “The Third Alarm” a charming phdto- play, albeit saturated with that in- definable quality of “hokum,” which is the despair of high brow reviewers and the breath of life to the chronic theater-goer. It opened at Crandall's Central last night for a run of one week. Love motivates the play. It moves in various shapes througll the reels with ever-changing characteristics. There is the self-sacrificing love of the fireman father and his wife for their children; the Impetuous love of son for father; the steady affection of brother and sister; the passionate devotion of youth and sweetheart; commanding love of duty; cold love of a sclentist for his medical profes- sion, spiced by a warmer love of home—all in all, love moves in a velled way, supplying the logical mo- tive force behind every action. It is 80 well concealed that it i8 ac- cepted without thought. And this very subconscious acceptance raises the photoplay to the plane of artistry. ‘There are too many by-ways and side-lanes of plot to present a full description. The principal figure is a fireman— just the kind one sees every day early in the morning or late at night, hopping on and off street cars at the end of the platoon shift. Ralph Lewls plays the part perfectly. The son is a student of medicine. He faces a dilemma between sweetheart and home—the pouty, dominating sweetheart and the home that has 8a ficed pleasures to give him edu- cation.
