"A Regular Fellow" serves Its purpose aa far aa allowing Taylor Holmes to employ his talents aa a comedian la concerned. The story is not so good In quality, bnt little things may be overlooked in a picture of this sort. Dallon Pemberton. a woman hater, who is to inherit a fortune upon marrying Virginia. Christy, decides to avoid her and runs away to Buenos Ayres. There he- falls In love with Virginia, whose name la unknown to him. When she leaves for New York, he follows, after having had his pockets gone through by a thief. Financially embarrassed, he finds It Im- possible to secure passage aboard the ship on which Virginia la sailing and atowa away. Upon arriving In New York, he la arrested and locked up aa a auspicious person. He is put into prison with some thieves, who make their escape, take htm along with them and burglarise the house of Virginia. They also discover that Lady Westcott and Count Eugenia, thieves, have already en- tered. Dallon, In a general mix-up, manages to frustrate the efforts of an of tie thieves. When Virginia's mother arrives he finds out the real identity of the girl whom he has been following. AH Is explained and the film ends with tee usual love scene. OLYMPIC THEATRE; NEW YORK.

This la a fairly good picture, that is lia- ble to have its whole run spoiled by the wretched, title given it While -the plot is partly worked around crime, the title has nothing whataover to do with the story and la very mlaleadlng. Jerry and Spike are two criminals Just released from the'penitentiary. Spike has decided to go back to bis" life of crime, while Jerry, due to a letter received from Molly, the girl he loves,- has decided to go straight, as she la doing the same.

She accepts, but wants to visit her sister Molly for a few days before doing so. She goes to Molly and stays In her house for a while. - Spike finds out about Marlon and wants to meet her. He follows her Into the house and tries to kiss her, and Molly, on hearing the noise, rushes upstairs from the restaurant and makes him leave the prem- ises. Molly then begs Marlon to go to her friend's, which she does. In the meantime Jerry has been keeping on the straight path. Marlon arrives at the Pemberton's and some time later accepts Ted Pemberton's proposal. On the evening that she is to be engaged Spike calla on Molly and threatens to expose the fact that she Is Marion's sis- ter unless she helps him rob the Pember- tons' house. Again she forces him to leave, but later in the evening, fearing for Ma- rlon, she rushes to the Pembertona' house to compel spike not to rob the place. She finds him there, and as they are talking a policeman catches them. Spike escapes and Molly is arrested. At the station-house she refuses to talk, but Garrity, a plain- clothes man wbo loves her, thinks that Jerry Is the young man who escaped. He goes for Jerry and accuses him. Jerry pro- tests his Innocence and asks Garrity to give him five minutes alone with Molly to find out who it was.
