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

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
