Sunset It's seldom that motion-picture pro ducers offer such combjnatioin of successful photoplay elements as are Incorporated in "Going- Straight," the Norma Talmadge feature at the Sun set Theater. Many a good picture, is hurt by a poor title; many a good title carries a poor story; an many a play, strong in either one or both of these essentials, is weakened by an unknown or mediocre star, with indif ferent support. But not so . "Going Straight." The title is excellent, the star one of the biggest in filmdom, while the story really grips because of the unusual combinatioin of child stuff, thrills and strong dramatic In terest. Miss Talmadge, who has never done anything better 'than her portray of the wife in this photodrama, is ably supported by- Ralph Lewis, Eugene Pallette and several of the Fine Arts kiddies. The story concerns the strug gles of a husband and wife to "go Straight" aft,er they have abandoned their old life as crooks. The husband, reformed and a real estate man, goes down into the slums and meets an old pal of . the crook days. The two had served terms for their crimes, while the wife, also a member of the gang, had escaped. Re leased from prison, the husband finds that he has a child, and this responsi bility causes him to desert the old ways. But the man from the slums, down and out, and with his eyes -on a "'soft spot," threatens the exposure of the wife unless the husband, wlip as sist him in one more "Job." The burglary of the house, with the invasion of the room in which th wife, a guest for the night, is sleeping; the struggle ending in the capture of the crook, with the quick-witted action saving the husband; the escape of the, crook, and his death resulting from his ffoits to get the man who double crossed him, ere all pictured in dra matio sequence. "Ambrose's Cup of Woe," a comedy introducing Mack Swain, as a Jealous hubby and his wife as an. artist's mod al, is an unusually good Keystone. Peoples. '' ' Here Is a picture with a real punch, photoplay with a strong emotional appeal, a hectic story handled by pro ducer and players with such finesse as to give offense 'to few and -grip the many. Its name is "The Soul of Kura San," a Japanese-American story, fea turing Sessue Hayakawa, Tsuru Aoki and Myrtle Stedman, and screened at the Peoples Theater. The locale of the play takes the spectator from Japan to America, and really takes him there, for the Japan ese atmosphere is realistic, with the effect heightened by the presence of Japanese in all but two principal roles. Hayakawa's character is that - of Koyo, a poor Japanese artist, who loves Kura-Ean, daughter of a teahouse pro prietor. They are too poor to marry and are ready to suicide when Foyo is sent for by his wealthy uncle In Amer ica. Kura-San's father makes her be lieve that Foyo is wedded and the girl consents to pose for an American art ist, and goes to live with him. When Foyo returns the girl kills herself after confessing that the artist had dishon ored her. Foyo, now wealthy, returns to Amer ica, bent on vengeance. He learns that the artist Is engaged to marry Ann Wiyoughby. Foyo lures the girl to his house, and, before a picture of Kura-San. attempts to repay the artist in Kind. The American arrives in time to prevent Foyo from accomplishing his purpose, and the Japanese kills himself at the foot of Kura-San's pic ture. The artistic impersonations contrib uted by the three principals lift the picture into the field of tragedy,, while the last scene, the struggle between the Japanese and the American girl, almost becomes symbolic of the conflict be tween the two races. Oriental decorations, incense and mu sic contribute to the .success of the picture. tere business woman who wins the un willing admiration of everyone. The atmosphere of the story -has been well preserved, a number of the scenes hav ing been filmed at the famed steel plant at Bethlehem, Pa. There are two great moments in the play. One is the scene where a mother calls her son, who is engulfed in a consuming passion, to his better senses by revealing her own weakness.- The other oomes in the scene when the "iron woman", realises that her kindness to her son has been fraught with evil consequences. Not only is Miss O'Nell capable in the leading role, but her support is good. Alfred Hickman, to whom she was re cently married, plays the part of her son. Others in the cast are Evelyn Brent, Christine Mayo, Vera Sisson, Kinar Linden and William Postance. . Paramount Pictographs are unusually interesting, the magazine of the screen devoting the current issue to "The Mak ing of a Newspaper," "Queer Jobs for the Motorcycle.',' "Checking Up the Um pire" and "Controlling Oil Gushers." The newspaper footage shows - every move in the life of a newspaper until the finished produet is plaeed before the reader, the New York Herald being the newspaper plant investigated by the camera. The ultra speed camera, which catches action eight times faster than it is seen by the naked eye, was used in "Checking Up the Umpire." The result is interesting and also amusing. As for the umpire. Jt shows that Klem, a famous baseball arbiter, scored . 98 per eent in his decisions. Solumbia. There are at least seven bright spots In "A Sister of Six," the Bessie Love photodramatlc feature at the Columbia Theater. Miss Love is one of them and six little kiddies the Fine Arts young sterscomprise the remaining half dozen. Tihe film is full of Juvenile Joy pranks of children Just emerging from babyhood and because of this produces many a laugh. But while the laughs are not inci dental to the film, they are to the story, for the theme is of the sterner sort, involving California- pioneers. plots, murders. Mo x loan maraujders, stirring guerilla warfare, and to climax it all the swift charge of American cavalry. the dashing sort that breaks the theater into frequent outbursts of pplauding enthusiasm. "A Sister of Six" is a story of Cali fornia life of a half century ago, re lating to a violent dispute over land which bears gold, between a New Ens lander, seven little orphans headed by Bessie Love, and a handsome vaquero who has won the heart of Prudence, the 'sister of six." The Mexicans plot to secure the gold-bearing land and the Sheriff is used to dispossess the New Englanders. The. fight -is at first- a legal one, but when the property seems This ends disastrously for the invadfer3, although not before victory seems in their grasp, and Prudence and her va quero are safe in each other's arms. - it is easy to speak kindly or -way- stacks and Steeples," for it is the fun- Plckford.
