T HE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D, C, MONDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 1925. 00d and whose father was Bubsequently killed. A degperate plot to rob the young Eirl of a valuable claim to which she falls heir is disclosed in a series of thrilling épisodes, in which the picture of pioneer gold hunting in all its pic- ;ur\sque struggle plays an important art, An exceptionally interesting cast 1s assembled, including Neil Hamilton &3 Tennessee, Phyllis Haver as the wayward, mother, Rockcliffe Fellowes @s the villain and Joseph Dowling, Who gives a particularly noteworthy interpretation of a gruff old miner Who is a confirmed “woman hater."” Miss Bronson {s more than adequate in the title role. She is captivating, even in her youthful diffidence in ex- pressing the more intense emotions. A Harry Langdon comedy, & news reel and a pleasing orchestral selection complete the program. METROPOLITAN—"“The Knockout.” Milton Sills is seen at the Metropoll- tan this week in distinctly one of his best performances, a clean, robust, red-blooded film that moves with the speed of an express train, a cinema that s replete with tense melodra- matic moments and dotted with more real deep laughs than a dozen of the ordinary comedy reels ever have been known to produce. The packed house yesterday sat tensely still during the scene of swift action and snickered, laughed out- right, roared, held its sides, at re- lleving bashes of comedy. Such re- sponses are real tributes to a movie and a testimonial to its entertaining qualities. Technically, the movie has no un- usual merit, nor would the emotional performances of many in the cast o such as to send a critical producer into ecstacy, but the spirit of the whole film is so authentic, convinc- ing, the play “soes over’ with pro- nounced success. Miss Lorna Duveen, Sills' support- ing actre is not to be rated as one of the leading actresses. but her performance is pleasing and she 13 well suited to the role. Sills, playing the part of the light- heavy-weight champlon pugilist of the world, is given ample opportun- ity to display his prowess as a boxer. e stages a rough and tumble, catch as catch can fight with a glant log- ger that will amply convince the most skeptical that some movie actors do earn their salaries. The story is brought to & high climax in a cham- plonship bout between the title holder and his chief contender. The story is briefly, that of a champlon who is temporarily elimin- ated from bouts because of an in- ury. He is engaged by a lumber magnate who is attempting to crush his one competitor in a section of the Canadian forests—a young woman who is managing the business of her fnvalid father. The lumber magnate hires the pugilist with the idea of bringing on a fight between him and the chief logger of the gang of the young woman. The pugllist knew nothing of the scheme. He falls in love with the young woman and while he is woolng her, men in the lumber magnate’s plot, blast the dam hold- ing the thousands of logs of their falr competitor and they crash down the narrow river and form an un- breakable dam. The pugilist, understanding at last the plot, risked his life attempting to break the dam, but fafls. In order 1o pay off the mortgage on the girl's timber land, which is held by the scheming lumber magnate, he returns to the ring and successfully defends his championship title, garnering a great purse. The adventures of the pugilists’ manager, with a polecat in the lumber camp provide many laughs. The bill is augmented with a com- edy and news reels. The Metropolitan symphony orchestra gives a good ren- dition of the overture “Orpheus.” TIVOLI—“Not So Long Ago.” Betty Bronson and Ricardo Cortez are the co-stars of the bill at Cran- dall's Tivoll Theater the first two days of the present week, the vehicle be- ing Paramount's production of “Not So Long Ago,” a romance of an older New York. Sidney Olcott directed and has skillfully caught the spirit of the metropolis of 1850. The story was adapted from the play by Arthur Rich- man, and in addition to the featured players enlists the services of Julia Swayne, Gordon and Lawrence Wheat. FEddle Nelson in Mermalid's *“Hot and Heavy,” the Pathe Review and Otto F. Beck, concert organist, and Harold T. Pease, assistant, contribut- ing pipe organ accompaniment and solo intervals, complete the bill. AMBASSADOR—"“The Knockout.” “The Knockout,” a revised version of M. D. C, Crawford’s story, “The Come Back,” featuring Milton Sills, began a three-day run yesterday at Crandall'’s Ambassador Theater. It is a gripping story, teeming with ro- mance and action, and its locale runs the gamut from the prize ring to the northern timber country. Lorna Duveen co-stars with Mr. Sills. Others in the supporting cast include Jed Prouty, Claude King, John Philip Kolb and Harlan Knight. The picture is a product of the First Na- tional studios. It will be shown again today and tomorrow. Subsidiary attractions framing the bill are a black and white animated cartoon comedy, “Hungry Hounds,” and Pathe News. The Ambassador pipe organ gives a colorful musical setting to the pictures. LEADER—Wrestling Match Film. On the screen at the Leader Thea- ter yesterday was shown the au- thentic motion pictures of the world's heavywelght wrestling champlionship between Ed “Strangler” Lewis and Wayne “Big” Munn. The slow mo- tion scenes showing the different holds used by the wrestlers were par- ticularly interesting. Sydney Chap- lin's “Galloping Fish” was also shown. The wrestling film will be shown Monday_and Tuesday, together with “Marry Me,” featuring Florence Vidor and Eward Everett Horton. CENTRAL—"Private Affairs.” Crandall’s Central Theater, the first two days of this week, pi nts a film version of George Patullo's story, “The Ledger of Life,” which is en- titled “Private Affairs,” with a cast including Gladys Hulette, Robert Ag- new, Mildred Harris, David Butler, Arthur Hoyt, Betty Francisco, Har- dee Kirkland and Charles Sellons. James Cruze, maker of “The Cov- ered Wagon,” directed this engross- ing homespun drama of small town life. The settings are realistic. and the photography excellent. Harry Langdon, in “Plain Clothes,” and the Pathe Review, with pipe or- gan accompaniment and solo inter- vals, corhplete the bill. - KILLS SELF IN CELL.
