T'RANK K KENAN'S HRST PATH
PLAY U AS STROM; STORY
, in "Loaded Dice'' it is believed that
Frank Keenan, the iPathe Star, hri
one of the strongest stories of hit'
photoplay career. In it he plays a
part of the kind in which ho delights,
that of strong and masterful man
who accomplishes his ambitions re
gardless of all' opposition. ''J,oa:led
Dice" was written by Ellery. H. Clack,
with a scenario by Gilson Willets.
The story is that of a man' who
believes there h no Gad.. Unscrupu
lous, forceful, dominating, he nt lust'
realizes his ambitions and becomes'
tho governor of his state. ,And then,
nt the height of his power'' and ap
parently of unbeatable 're;iirth the
hand of God shows itself. Tne pic
ture portrays a character' and a be
lief (ofr luck of it '.that .Is not un
common in public life. . And there is
k moral there that i obvious. All
who have seen Mr. Keeniirt on tho
screen will at once appreciate the
suitability of his 'vigorous personality
to such a part.
"Loaded Dice'' will be nt the Star
Theater ' today and -tomorrow, - Also
another official war" picture at the
Britain's Bulwarks series. '
