'In spite of the farci of the story itself, these actors are 8o realistic that the result is a most interesting, as well as highly comi- cal picture, the sort of gay_picture the average audience likes. The pic- ture was directed by Paul Iribe under “the personal supervision of Cecil B. de Mille, whose temporary shift from heavy, tiresome problem plays with ridiculously luxurious settings is in- deed a relief to inspire gratitude. The sub-titles deserve special mention for the presence of human appeal in their clever construction. % “The Lion and the Souse a new Mack Sennett comedy, shows the Mack Sennett touch so decided! it is not boresome.

Metropolitan—"A Self- made Failure.” It's unusual, the picture at Cran-| all's Metropolitan this week, with a strange intermingling of photo- play elements, pathetic heart throbs and comedy of hobo pals, depicted by freckle-faced little Ben Alexan- der and Lioyd Hamilton; a love story with Patsy Ruth Miller and Matt Moore, a lovely old grandma, by Mary Carr, and bathing beauties that sizzle. The name of its is “A Self- Made Failure,” meaning Hamilton. There you are. A cast that the advertisers delight in emblazoning as “all-star.” Well they may; the stars twinkle all the way through.

LONDON, July 21.—Tribitsch Lincoln, one of the mystery men in London during the war and certainly the most amazing international spy since the days of Steinbauer, has suddenly bobbed up in the limelight again as the stormy petrel in a national tragedy. A great sensation has been caused by the identification of Otto Chirzio as the man who, though a foreign Jew. ~who could scarcely speak English, was elected as member of parliament for Darlington, and who fled to America during the war after an_ineffectual attempt to lure the British fleet into the middle of a German mine field. Tribitsch Lincoln, in his latest role of Otto Chirzio, was the first man to be arrested in Italy in connection with the murder of the Soclalist deputy, Signor Matteotti, and he is implicated with Dumini in the crime. After a stormy career in nearly every European country, and after many narrow escapes in the midst of revolution and other _upheavals, Tribitsch Lincoln for the first time in his career is personally implicated in the crime of murder. The Italian crime for which Lincoln is the first to be arrested created a great sensation, not only in Italy, but over the whole world. It will be remembered that Signor Matteotti was first kidnaped, and after a hue and ery it was discovered that the missing deputy had been fouly mur- dered by the political party of which he was an active opponent. A confession by Dumini, the Fasclst condottiere, who was arrested after Tribitsch Lincoln has cleared up what mystery existed as to how the un- fortunate member of parliament met his death. According to the latest news re- ceived in the Italian colony in London, where there are many members of the Fascist movement, Tribitsch Linceln strenuously denies .that he was in any way implicated in the murder, but in face of the grave danger in which he now stands he has made an open confession that he has been working as a spy for both the Fascist and the Communist or- ganizations.
