"The Prince Chap " Peoples. very much talked-of Audrey Munson picture, opened yester day at the Peoples theater. It Is need less to remark that the seven-reeler played to capacity houses, plus, all day. Purity" is a morality play. The producers admit it in a sub-title pref ace. The object of the allegory-drama is to prove the truth of the world-old iom: "Unto the pure, all things are pure. Purity" Is an art picture, the kind they analyze with qualifications as to the state of mind of the spectator. Daring," "subtle," "beautiful" and "ar tistic" are some of the descriptive let terings applied to it.' For be it known that "Purity" is lav ish in its presentation of the feminine form in varying states of nudity. Audrey Munson, heroine of "Inspira tion" and world-famous model for painters and sculptors, poses minus even the warming influence of 1916 bathing suit shockers. She wears flow ing robes one might style, them "re vealing" In the allegorical prelude to the modem story. Then she is seen in series of wonderfully artistic and beautiful poses, first in a studio, then portraying a number of famous paint ings, and last in statuary masterpieces. The picture is really a work of art. lacking in sensational or sensual fea tures. However, the appeal depends largely upon the state of mind, an es sential remark anent an offering of this character. The thousands who saw the picture yesterday may have visit ed the Peoples to satisfy their-art crav ing and th?n again some other motive may have prompted their invasion of the West Park street photoplay house. I The story is conventional, what there is of it, and concerns a self-sacrificing and. loving girl, who poses in the nude to secure funds to enable her lover to publish his book of poems. She is mis understood, but later appreciated. How ever, there is no effort to magnify the dramatic value of the film. Its charm lies In the beauty of its pastoral scenes and grace and artistry of Miss Munson. An orchestra, attractive decorations and a corps of girl ushers are among the special house features attending the screening of the film. Snnset. Charlie Chaplin and Pauline Fred erick, in side-splitting slapstick com edy and strong drama, respectively, are Sunset Theater headllners on the early-week bill. Chaplin appears in "The Count," his greatest Mutual com edy., with Miss Frederick, one of the screen's greatest emotional stars, iu "The WorlcTs Great Snare." a plcturiza tion of the E. Phillips Oppenheim story of that nafhe. In "The Count" Charlie Is back at his old business, with his familiar baggy trousers, cutaway coat, dinky derby, diminutive moustache, slender cane and his celebrated brogans. The fun is fast and furious and Charlie. In troduces some original and hilarious stunts. As an assistant in a clothes-pressing establishment the comedy king is shown measuring Edna Purviance for a suit. His ideas of proportion are unique, and he find.s it necessary to take mouth, ear and feet measurements. Campbell, the boss, finds an invitation addressed to a Count, and Charlie se cures the pasteboard. He invades a swell society function, passes himself off as the Count, and becomes the lion of the occasion. The presence of his vengeful boss and later the real Count, with police cohorts, rob Charlie of the full glory of the occasion. "The World's Great Snare" Is a story of England and America, with cabaret dancer who becomes a great lady. Miss Frederick plays the lead ing role, one" calling for a wide range of characterization, and achieves suc cess in the difficult part.. She is in troduced as a singer and dancer in a Montana town, married to a drunkard who seeks to sell her to another. She meets an Englishman seeking proofs to establish his claim to an earldom, and their lives become inseparably linked. The girl follows him to a mining camp and assumes the garb of a man that she might be with him. Finally she discovers the evidence her lover seeks and gives it to him when she feels certain that It means their separation. Her sacrifice, however. does not rob her of the happiness to which she is entitled. Pickford. A story of delightful human appeal, a cast excelling Itself, and some re markably beautiful scenes make "The Storm," the Blanche Sweet-Lasky photodrama at the Pickford Theater, one of the best of recent Lasky plays and the most attractive vehicle Miss Sweet has appeared In for many months. "The Storm" presents a touch of that Mary PlcJtXord success, "less of the r -. -Sr. -y. Ml -smiii mwwmm k , CARMEN IS SCENE FROM "MANHAT Storm Country." Natalie Rayden Is the daughter of an absent-minded old pro fessor who has brought her up in the wilderness as a beautiful innocent. Sheldon Avery, a theological student, is camping with his friend. Kobert Field ing, near the Kayden home. Fielding leaves and Avery meets the young girl. Caught by a storm, they are marooned on an island over night. The next day Avery offers to marry the girl, but is forced to admit that he does not love her. so the girl sends him away, de claring that it would be a greater sin to marry him. Nex year Fielding falls In love with Natalie and Avery is called upon to marry them. At the crucial moment in the ceremony Natalie confesses, but Fielding takes her in his arms and tells Avery to proceed with the ceremony. While Miss Sweet's characterization is a splendid one, and she injects much more fire into her part than in a num ber of recent vehicles, the work of Theodore Roberts is really the out standing feature of the ' play. His interpretations are always good, but us the absent-minded old professor he fairly outdoes himself. Thomas Meighan, another popular Laskeyite. plays the role of Robert Fielding. Paramount Pictographs. the screen magazine, present a number of sub jects of topical interest, as well as car toons and comedy sketches. Columbia. A typical Douglas Fairbanks picture, with that rare combination of thrills and smiles that "Dougle" and his di rector Impart to his productions. Is "Manhattan Madness," the Columbia J Theater feature for the early week. The picture is hilariously funny in spots. Interesting throughout, and gives the star ample opportunity for a dis play of his unusual athletio prowess. Fairbanks is perhaps the screen's best scrapper, with due deference to the Farnums, Hart and men of that ilk. "Dougie" revels in physical combat and acrobatics, and the revelling is ex tremely good in "Manhattan Madness." The sunny husky is presented as an ei-.New Yorker from Nevada, who be moans the fact that there is not a thrill on Manhattan Island. His wailing re sults in a $5000 wager and a plot whereby the Nevadan is sent hurtling into the midst of as merry a melee as one could wish. To him there is a deadly seriousness in a maiden in dis tress, particularly when that maiden has caught his fancy and she professes a love for him. So when Steve that's the name of our hero finds himself as signed to the role of rescuer e per- rorm prodigies of valor. Then, when he has phoned for assistance cowboy and clubman he discovers that he is the victim of a hoax. But he turns the tables on his friends when he essays Toung Lochinvar, carries away the girl. and leaves friends and actors in the comic-tragedy under the guns of his four Nevada henchmen. "She Loved a Sailor." a Keystoner featuring Harry McCoy, "Shorty" Ham ilton and Claire Anderson, is full of laughs, most of them manufactured by trick photography and guileful water. The story is built around an invention of water shoes, shoes enabling the wearer to walk at will atop the waves. A Universal reel with Hy Mayer car toons completes the programme. Majestic. Wearing an awe-inspiring coiffure and many wondrous gowns. Valeska Surrat, musical comedy star and vaude ville headliner, is presented In "The Straight Way" at the Majestic Theater. "The Straight Way" is a strongly dramatic story, dealing with the re venge of a woman' who cannot forget. Wronged by her husband, who miscon strues his wife's conduct when she Is trying to protect him and save his sif ter from scandal, the woman is dis carded. Their baby daughter is left with a relative and when news comes of the wife's death the husband takes the child. Many years later Madison, the hus band, has been elected Governor and the vengeful wife plots a terrible re venge upon the man who has wrecked her life. She schemes with Dan Walters, an ex-convict. Walters Is to marry Madison's daughter. Marion, the woman believing the girl to be the WliatIS "The Common Law?

The big situation oc curs when the "Kid" uncovers the mur derer of Mrs. Robinson, whose husband, it develops, is the father of the "Kid" and the man who is one of the backers of the beef trust. .A pathetio situation arises when the girl clings to her foster father, refusing to pay the hom age that the relationship calls for to a father she has known but a few brier hours.
