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

ky's dancehall chaperons want to be
taken home In taxlcabn. The result Is
that the mural uplift movement inau
gurated by the City Federation of
Women's Clubs a short time aio is in
trouble.
The federation concluded pome time
ago that moral betterment could be
given a material boost locally by sta
tioning chaperons In all public dance
halls. Three women were vested,
with chaperonle power?.
Public dances were frequent. Kach.
one seemed to last longer than the one
preceding and lately the chaperons
have found themselves traveling wea
rily homeward during: the wee sma"
hours of the morning unescorted.
A request for taxi tare wes present
ed, but inasmuch as the city has been
cutting expenses In a hundred dln'erenC
ways to make both ends meet, the of

have all they can do to cover their
beats and can't take the chaperons
