“THE ROAD TO AMBITION” "The Road to Ambition" Is the aptly descriptive litle of Conway Temle's flrui Selznick picture, which is announced iih the feature attraction at < the Mecca theater tor two days, beginning tonight. , The story, which is from the pen of Elaine Sterne, one of the most prolific writers of screen material, deals with the career of a young man who, although without friends, money or education is inspired by the unquenchable fires of ambition. Ho Is. when [the story starts, foreman in a large steel mill. He conceives u idea bow Ito utilize a hitherto waste by-product of the iron ore and, the scheme being practical, it is adopted by the company Which employs him. His forttines rapidly rise in consequence, but he still realizes Ills lack of polish and education. To overcome this social defect he engages the daughter of a society woman who has met with financial reverses. But the woman is a clever schemer, and she plans to marry him in order to get his money. Railing in this she attempts to ruin him both in business, socially, and in the field of politics, which he has recently entered. There is a battle of both muscle and mind, but in the end Bill Matthews achieves the heights of his abmition through the k love of a true girl. GOLD MINER FOUND KILLED; SLEUTHS BAFFLED B¥ CASE The leading scientific detectives of i the country have confessed themselves baffled by a strange case recently brought to their notice. It was that of a young gold miner, who was found dead, his head crushed in, by the bank of a small stream where he had been fishing. He still grasped his steel fishing rod. It was shown, by the absence of footprints in the soft earth nearby, that no person had been near the dead man. Who or what caused his death? The mystery has been made spectacular use of in the first episode of "Fighting Fate,” the newest Vitagraph chapter-play, with William Duncan, which will be shown at the Crystal theatre tonight. It is still marked “unsolved” on police records, but a fascinating possible solution is presented on the screen. Also as an added attraction Anita Stewart will be shown in Vitagraph’s big special, “The More Excellent Way”
