Few, if any, pictures | lave ever had so many beautiful | women to feast the eyes as “The | Rat.”” Apart from its beauty ap- peal, this picture is a tremendous dramatic sensation that will stir the | emotions. The cast is headed by Mae Marsh, Ivor Novello and Isabel | Jeans. On this some program is Sandow, famous dog of the movies in “The Call of the Wilderness.” “The Rat,” it will be remembered, has scored a distinct hit as a stage production on Broadway and even more than in the stage production, ®his picture is breath taking in its vid portrayal of Paris underworld life in the Montmartre district. | The story is a chapter from the | life of a Paris Apache, that notori- ous character identified with Pa- risian night life. The drama opens on one of the by-ways of Paris| where the spectator sees “The Rat” keeping the gendarmes busy. He | eludes the two who are following | him and slips down a grating in the | street until they p Scene shifts 1o the luxurious boudoir of a social- 1y prominent young wife whose | Twusband enters to advise her that he Yias arranged to stisfy her craving for semsation by taking, her to the | “White Coffin,” a cafe of low rv»{ pute in the Montmarte. It is thus that the principal characters arc brought together and in a masterly dramatic shifting of situations a plot develops that holds one tense to the | end, through the dramatic murder trial that comes late in the drama to the tremendous anti-climax which concludes the story.

At least almost the whole world dic But there were a few, a very few men who were just the least bit ¢ appointed and disgusted to think they never had an opportunity to get into the argument. It is about thes few that the hilarious story of “Tin | Hats” was written. The story con cerns three doughboys, one a Tic man’s son, another a New York « rafted into the service, third the son of a St. Louis brewer. | The three disgruntled ones are played by Conrad Nagel, Bert Roach | and George Cooper and they arrived | in the front line trenches just in| time to hear the referee announce that “That’s all there is there isn't | any more.” However the plot thick- are sent into Ger- nany in the army of occupation and heir subsequent adventures make the real war look like the Saturday evening strawberry festival back in | Pawtucket.
