' Wblle the stivy lacks clearness in develop- ing the most important part of the plot, it Is nevertheless amusing, being a good story and--one well played. Bextie is penniless and Is driven from bis twardinghonse for non-pay- ment. He regrets. this all the more because he is In love with the boardlngtaoase-keeper's daughter, and is wandering ddwncsst tiiroiigb the streets when he finds a bank-lxMk.. Tbe Idea seizes liim to make a display with this, and dolxig so. - he -wins the-girl' and-gets credit at the boardinghouse.. He flnaUy marries tbe girl, bat the fllln does not show the exposuxe.of his trlclc. fCtae scenes at tbe boardinghouse after Bertie has bis fortnne and tlie ladles are overly attentive to Iiim, -aie amnslDK and are very well done.

An Indian forsakes his tribe for a few lionts in order to accompany a young lady to ber home, tad iipon zetatDlng Is punished by lieing dragged alnuc tbe gniimd by a rope attached to a borse'B tall. The Incidental action Is well done and the aceaety Is truly Weateni. Tbe aim will pass as one w«ll done, but one wtfliont rear much bottom to It. TBACHIWO XoFAinffiH TO WA&TS.^ Vita- graph. Comedy. FnU length. June IT. ISie comedy In this prodactlon Is of a very trivial sort, bat It Is done so natnrally that it ranks as bigb-elass right at Qie start.

In practicing with the cook- he nearly loses his home and tbe cook ber position, bat tills aSalr Is stislgbtened oat and McFadden proceeds with other means of perfecting the art. He finally attends a masquerade liall and there smprlseB Us wife after some very arnnstng scenes. He does not seem to be bunt for terpsl- chorean stunts and this -fact adds to the homOr contained in his attempts to learn than.

The st<»7 In this film eeema to be clouded In some way or other, but It appears that the bead of a -family Is made to think that he lias taken a great deal of wblsky, when In reality lie has taken only a remedy f<v dy^;>ep- sla. The acting Is well done and. except for the lack of clearness when the whisky and medicine bottles are swltcbed, the film Is Interesting. ZBOCK iXSfES. BlograiA. reels, eacb full lengtb. 12 and 15. The story of Eaioch Arden Is very dearly told in these films, but aside from the fact that -two zeds are veed and the story Is a notable onSw Oeie Is little nncommon aboat tbe pro- dnction. The acting Js fairly- well done, bat the parts do not seem -to. have been especially well chosen, nor is the climax at all effective. Both films possess a sort of sickly look, while the people seem all the time to be tr.vlni: to express a lot of feeling they do not ttaotongbly understand or find excuse for. Tbe Same story done with actors and put into one' reel, would have made a lirst-class film in every n-s;>.L*i. no doabt. ■ SALES COMPANY. (Continued from page 11.) IH£ UTXIE LEABEB. Imp. Drama.
