A Bpcclul tro.it Ih In flioro for tlio
many admirers of Douglas Fairbanks
in his newest Artcraft picture, "The
Man from Painted I'oflt," now play
ing at the Arcade theatre. The
script of this pholopky was written
by Douglas himself nnd is based on
Jackson Gregory's recent magazine
story ''Silver Slippers." Tn tho role
of Fancy Jim Sherwood, the linniao-
ulato dude who wipes out n powerful
. gang of cattlo rustlers, tho smiling
star offers n characterization that
will meet with popular favor among
patrons of clean pictures.
Ducking ' bronchos, crack-rldlng
trick roping and bulldogglng steers
are among tho Interesting features
offered by this comedy drama of the
true west. Participating In these
scenes are the champions of the
world In their respective accomplish
ments, Including gam Hrownell,
champion bucking bie.eho rider;
John Judd, fancy rope ...list; Tom
my Grimes, H. A. Strickland and
other winners at the last Rodeo com
petition held in Cheyenne, Wyo. It
was at this meet that Douglas Fair
banks signed tip the champions for
"The Man From Palntod Post" and
each Individual gives good account
for himself In this picture.
Instead of staging this produc
tion In California where lira studio is
located, Douglas Fairbanks took his
entire company in a Bpcclul train to
Laramie, Wyo., where thirty miles
from the railroad station, hu leased
tho Riverside Ranch, covering 160,
000 acres, and containing 30,000
head of cattlo.
On account of tho film not arriving
yesterduy this picture will be shown
today and tomorrow.

"You've never LIVED... In your
life there have been no purplo mo
ments with bitter-sweet regrotH nnd
there Is nothing to forgive or forget;
our life would be Insipid, sale and
unsafe." Tills was Corinno Chllvere'e
answer to Rocky Van Sandt, her
fiancee, when he nrged a speedy
wedding.
Corlnne longed to escape from hoi
orbit of luxury and really live. She
wanted a "past," ono filled with un
certainly and big moments. She
would have adventure and excite
ment before she settled down as any
one's wife. It was this th'lrst for ad
venture which landed Corinno In onc
of the most compromising positions
to which any society bud had .ever
awakened.
Glancing over her moniing papui
In search of tho unjisual, this discon
tented child of wealth stumbled on a
startling advertisement which read
"VANTED:Two young women with
pasts, otc." '
Hore was her chance. She dlcln'f
really have a past, but nature had en
dowed her with a brilliant imnglmt-'
tlon and she would not be lilnilerrd
by fcts. So Corlnne decided to In
vestigate. , , ,
What this advertisement led. to
and in what startling situations Cor
lnne found herself, arc the thrilling
episodes of the Triangle play, "Indis
creet Corinno" featuring Olive Thom

Christinas Offering.
(Reviewed by Robert C. McKlrnvy.
In Moving Picture World.)
A Christmas story filled with gen
uine Christmas sentiment at the be
ginning and leading up to n strong
series of emotion situations such is
"Helmed Tim." It. goes a step fur
il. 'T 'ban the e-;;ijil Yuletldo narra
tive, several steps. 111 fact. In that it
combines a teal story with the cus
tomary holiday atmosphere. And
Jim's heart problem is not an obvi
ous one, for the observer is kept
wondering until tho very I aloso
whether sorrow or happiness Is to be
his final lot.
Harry Carter makes his first ap
pearance since "Tho Gray Ghost" In
the title role, which he handles witli
pleasing skill. Prwrillu Dean, who
had the feminine lead In "The Gray
Ghost," plays the part of the orphan
girl, Mury, around whose past the
story centors. Joseph Glrord who
wrote tho present piece, plays the
part of the "Derelict," nnd J. Morris
Foster appears as the scapegrace
nephew, Donald.
With this well balanced cast the
story Is given strong and convincing
treatment. It opens with the return
of Jim's nephew, Donald, for the
holidays, and pictures the way In
which the youth and hts friends are
caught badgering a hungry old dere
lict nt the club. Jim takes tho dere
lict home, where he Is bathed and
properly clothed and fed. The old
fellow then enters Jim's employ.

By VIRGINIA EVANS SEWALL.
Daughter of the Late Admiral Robley

Ho was pointed out to me as "the
mnn who has been torpedoed twice.'
I looked for a mnn who would prob
bly appear "grim" or "haggard."
some of those things which wo uneoi,
sclously expect In connection with
such experiences, but this boy was In
nowise different, from hundreds of oth
ers who' were crawling the army nnd
nnvy Y. M. C. A. that evening.
I cnllefl lilm over to the desk where,
nnd Jim has been persuaded by his
three friends, known at "The Trin
ity," to marry tho orphan girl. '
Donald returns again from college
nnd he nnd Wary recognize one an
other. Donald knows something oi
her past, nnd ho trades upon till:-,
knowledge in a way that compro
mises her good name. Jim, thinking
her untrue to him, Accuses both his
wife and Donald ot treachery. The
old riorelict, who siiMiocts Donald .of
all the guilt, chokes the truth out of
him. Tho confession, to which Jim
listens, clears Mary from any suspic
ion, past or present, and restore:;
happiness to their home.
Tho holiday atmosphere is well
suggested all through tills number,
which was directed by Stuart Paton.
Others in the cast are Charles Mil!
