"Chasing the Limited" Railroad dramas possess a fascination of their own. Where breathes a lad with so soul so dead that to himself bath never said: "I'm goin to be a railroad engineer when I grow up!" It's in the blood of most Americans, this desire to handle great engines and dynamos and to control machinery of great nower. In "Chasing the Limited," a

Bison two-reel drama, featuring Wel

lington Playter and Marie Walcamp, the spectator Is given his fill of dar

ing adventure.

In one sensational scene an engine is derailed before the camera lens in order to save the fast mail which is approaching from the opposite direction. The engine leaves the track with a road and plunges head-on into a

clay bank, where the boiler explodes,

leaving the huge mass of machinery a smouldering, smoking wreck. Just

how this picture was taken only

his immediate assistants can tell. Ana they won't. FRIDAY.

"Mountain Justice" Those who

like thrills will find plenty of them

in "Mountain Justice," a Rex two-

reel drama scenaroized by Ida May Park from the story by Julius G. Furthmann and produced by Joseph De

Miscegenation, so common in many Gulf states, is almost unknown among these clean-living sons of the mountains, and a woman's virture to the mountain lads is something more to be valued than all the wealth of Newport. Woe betide him violates these unwritten laws.

TUESDAY. "Tango Queens" Tom Coyne and George Wagner with Harry Hastings' "Tango Queens" were enjoying their nightly after-theatre bite to eat. At the next table a couple of middleaged women were engaged in loud conversation with their escort regarding the popularity of modern dance 6teps. "Don't you think a talkative woman is more popular with the men than any other kind?" remarked Coyne. Wagner stabbed a piece of Welsh rarebit with his fork and replied: "Well, what other kind are there?" The "Tango Queens" will be the offering at the Gennett theatre next Tuesday. THURSDAY. "Peck's Bad Boy", which is to be presented at the Gennett Thursday matinee and night is one of the most human stories which has ever been offered on the stage.

It shows this typical American boy at the . pranks which every boy of his age has played upon those with whom he comes in contact.

" SCANDAL

In 5 Reels by Lois Weber and Phillips Smalley.

"It makes you think." That's what the man sitting directly in front of me at the private exhibition of "Scandal" said as the last picture was thrown on the screen. And he was right. It does make you think. And you keep right on thinking about it long after the theatre and neighborhood are out of sight and you have turned the key in your door and put out the light. The reason it makes you think is because it is based upon absolute fact. It does not bring up a great issue or arouse a new problem in the mind of the man or woman who sees it. It reflects the very things that you and I, and the rest of the inhabitants of this world are doing daily. We nd it as full of punches as a transcontinental railroad ticket, and we gasp as we realize the truth depicted, mirrored, in every scene. It is such pictures as "Scandal" which are going to do a lot towards perpetuating the moving picture art. First of all, it was a good scenario. It comes from the pen of that student of philosophy, Lois Weber, whose "Hypocrites" still remains fresh in our memory. She has not taken a big subject and discoursed on it in a series of pictures, but has thrown a searchlight on us, and it is thrown so strong that it blinds us with its truth. There are those who might say she has exaggerated the truth, somewhat. She hasn't. In fact, she has withheld, if anything, more than she has disclosed. Those who sit uneasy in their seats are the ones she has hit. And it is these who will say it is unreal, far-fetched and illogical. Mud Is dirty. It's cowardly, for it hits you and then runs. You can't get rid of it until it dries, and even then it sometimes leaves a stain which cannot be effaced. Mud-slinging is a dirty business. Sometimes the aim is wrong and it hits the one not intended for the target. The author has picked a good subject, and she tells her story smoothly, dramatically and with logical sequence. She shows the great harm which often comes from those miserable people who seem to find little else to do besides gossip. It is a picture which reveals to us just what a woman's jealousy and a man's . indiscretion will do. Adv.

umph in the current dramatic sensation, "Experience," makes his first appearance In motion pictures In an absorbing film adaption of H. V. Esmond's celebrated play, "When We Were , Twenty-one," Nat Goodwin's former starring vehicle. Mr. Elliott portrays the role of "the Imp," as young Richard Audaine .the central character of the play, is known that irrepressible and light-hearted young man whose tragic love affair so nearly brings ruin to himself and to the guardian who loves him as a son.

SUNDAY. "Countless Count" The daughter and the sweetheart are in love, but their affairs move, anything but smoothly, because the father has other Ideas for his daughter's marriage.

The sweetheart disguises himself as the butler and makes everything end happily by throwing both the count and the Irishman out of the house, while the daughter flies to his arms and the father gives his parental blessing.

"And there's a lust no man can tame, Of loudly publishing a neighbor's shame; On eagles' wings immortal scandals fly. While virtuous actions are but born and die."

A Remarkable 5 Reel Broadway Universal Feature A Drama You'll Never Forget Written by LOIS WEBER, Author of "HYPOCRITES" Direction of Lois Weber and Phillips Smalley The story of "Scandal" deals with the tragedy of idle gossip. Its talented author, Lois Weber, the justly celebrated author of "Hypocrites." got her idea from a newspaper editorial, based on an every day newspaper item. Thus the story is intensely human, fascinating in its swiftly moving plot development. There is nothing morbid or distasteful about this absorbing play but it does make one pause and think with regret of every word of idle gossip one has ever listened to or repeated. "Scandal" Is the sort of photoplay that makes the movie worth while. It is the sort that gets to the movie fans hard. It is the sort of play you cannot boost too strongly. The Universal is noted for doing big things In an unusual way, and "Scandal" Is one of the biggest things the Universal has ever done. MATINEE AND NIGHT Admission, 10c
