REVIEW To be sent to newspaper for use the day following the first showing of “ ‘Flare-Up* Sal,” Dorothy Dalton, the talented Paramount star whose acting in such notable successes as "Love Letters," "The Flame of the Yukon," "The Price Mark" and other recent screen plays will be remembered, is the star of the feature at the Theatre, Miss Dalton, whose dimples are rapidly becoming as famed as is Kitty Gordon's wonderful back, is at her attractive best in "'Flare-Up' Sal" which is from the prolific pen of J. G, Hawks, and which was directed under the personal supervision of Thomas H. Ince by Roy William Neill. In the role of Sally Jo, Miss Dalton is first seen living near one of the mushroom mining towns that sprung up in California in the days of the gold rush of '49. In gunny sack rags and tatters Miss Dalton is still attractive. She goes to the Looloo Bird, a noted resort, and is lured into an unconscious dance by the music which so charms the proprietor of the place. Dandy Dave Hammond (William Conklin) that he secures permission to keep her there. Sal is ever ready to enter into an argument, verbal or physical, and throughout the entire picture she dominates everything and everybody, earning the name of "Flare-Up" Sal, because of her impetuosity. Of course there is a splendid love story running through the picturedelineating the love of Sal for the Red Rider, a notorious road agent who holds up the Looloo Bird while he dances with Sal, later returning to the town in the guise of a minister. The early fifties in the gold camps of California were exciting days and "Flare-Up" Sal, reflecting accurately that period, is replete with adventure and thrilling episodes. There is an abundance of genuinely interesting comedy, too, while the towering Redwood forest, where the picture was filmed, forms a beautiful and picturesque as well as accurate background for the story. Other attractions on the bill are . 15
