FARRAR CAN BE A TIGRESS OR A DEVOTED SISTER Moore Is a Good ‘ Simp * —Meighan Stays at Ohio—Farnum at Regent
Graldlne Farrar uiay properly be called the wonder woman of the day, as It appeara she is able to do anything and everything. Today she is on view in two entirely different movies at two theaters and her work in the two movies bear no resemblance. At the Alhambra in “The Kiddle: Woman. - ’ Farrar Is a woman of an iron will who is willing to murder a man, a regolar scamp, who would rob her of her happiness. At Mister Smiths, in “The Flame of the Desert,Farrar Is a lovable English woman, who loves In the most fashion and who is wllltng to make any sacrifice to protect her brother, whose weakness is gambling. In “The Riddle: Woman," Farrar has many chances to become a dramatic whirlwind, a towering pillar of strength as she fights to retain the lore of her husband. In this dramatic atmosphere the star has the services of such recognized players as Frank T,osee, Adele Blood, Montague Love and Madge Bellamy. “The Riddle: Woman.’’ was done on the stage by Bertha Kalich. but the movie is different in some respects to the stage version. In “The Flame of the Desert," Farrar shows that she is magnificent In moonlight love scenes in a desert of the Orient, and the photography In this movie is beautiful. Opinion: At the Alhambra Farrar is a dramatic cyclone and at Mister Smith’s she shows how to do some wonderful loving—both satisfactory performances, with the best acting seen at the Alhambra, but better photography at Mister Sm*th s. “The Riddle: Woman," Is a recent release. D- H- .|. -|- J. ANITA STEWART PLEASES THE WOMEN THIS TIME. Those who are responsible for “Hatriet and the X’iper," the latest An.ta Stewart movie, now at the < lrcle, appear to have forgotten the fact that men still attend the movies, as this plotu-' ; appeals entirely to 4 ' * hut the way the women appear to enjoy seeing their favorite actresses Anita Stewart. suffer for goad and bad love seems to justify the actions of the movie producers. “Harriet and the Piper - ’ is nicely mounted and a pleasing musical program as played by the Circle orchesir* helps to make the entertainment enjoyable. Opinion: Miss Stewart C9IIM easily stand heavier vehicles than she has hail lately, but her followers appear to enjoy her in this movie.—W. D. H. -|- -|. MOORE SEEN AGAIN IN A CORKING COMEDY. Owen Moore has turned out some eracker-jack comedies in his career, but if he has ever been starred in a more humorous, genuinely entertaining picture than “The Poor Simp,’’ it hasn’t been our good fortune to see it. “The Poor Simp" is one of those ran? photoplays that are funny without being silly, and contains a laugh In every foot of film. Moore, as Melville G. Carrnthers, “the poor simp.” a wealthy young man. who is violently in love with Grace Adams, who is played by Nell Craig, portrays the horrors of proposing to your heart's desire. He does not overdo his actions, which would be very easy in a situation of the - kind in which finds himself, and some fast moving dramatic incidents present this versatile screen hero in an entirely new light. The chief chartn of “The Poor Simp, ’ lies in the fact that every character from Melville Carruthers down to the lowliest messenger boy are entirely free from artificial situations and stage gestures. The plot Cows along as smoothly as a brook through green fields and the climax is skillfully arranged. . It does not burst upon an astonished audience with the force of a summer thunder storm and leave one's mind vainly trying to grasp what has happened. Owen makes a good “simp," but It is rather hard not to sympathize with hiru and his troubles even though certain BON-OPTO Sharpens Vision Soothes and heals the eyes and strengthens eyesight quickly, relieves inflammation in eyes and lids; sharpens vision and makes glasses unnecessary in many instances, says Doctor.

GOOSIE LEE HURT IN GAMING FIGHT Police Learn of Craps Game Through Riot Call. A riot in which many negroes took part followed a quarrel over a craps game In a notorious gambling resort at 622 Indiana avenue early today, but only six men Mere arrested. Fifty negroes were in the gambling house when the riot started, the police /were told, but two patrolmen who first reached the scene were unable to halt the panlp-stricken mob and a riot cat* was sent to headquarters. The central figure of the battle was Harry (“Goosie") Lee, negro, 719% Fayette street, professional bondsman and Republican political worker recently convicted in Crlcinal Court of operating a blind tiger, and who was supposed to have been taken to the penal farm but who M-as later released on bond when the ease M-as appealed to Supreme Court. Lee was sent to the city hospital for repairs, a physician taking two stitches (o close n cut In the bead, and also dressing a M-nund on “Goosie's’’ arm. < ONELICTING STORIES ,TILD. Lee told a different story from that told by three men who admitted they had been in a craps game. Lee explained he was standing on the sidewalk in front of 024 Indiana avenue M’hen James Martin, Ben Edmons and William Jewell, ail ■of 623 Harmond street, and all negroes, passed and one of them said "there goes the fellow who thinks he is hot because he got out of the penal farm." and they followed him into 522 Indiana avpnue. M-here Martin cut him on the head with a knife and Edmons hit him with a pool cue. Lee said he knocked them both down. The police arrested Lee on the charge of assault and battery, gaming and visiting a gambling house.

game -in progress at 622 Indiana avenue, nt.U if it had not been for the riot the game would not have been molested. However, the story told by Ben Edmons seems to be be the one credited by the police. Edmons explained that he waa shooting craps on the second pool table from the frdnt at 622 Indiana avenue, and that George Abrams was running the game, and that there was a 10-cent cut on each pass. Edmons said he had lost between S3O and S4O In the craps game and that he M-as shooting SO.IO and that I*ee said: ’lf you pass I am going to hit you In the eye.” Edmons rolled the dice and passed, and then, he says, Lee hit him in the eye. As proof of this he has a bruised left eye. Then he hit' Lee and “Goosie’s" friends got busy to protect him. It is said. It was then that Martin and Jewell Jumped In and helped Edmons.
