THE back-of-the-throne power of
woman, a theme so powerfully
handled In th Triangle produc
tion, "Stepping Stones," :s presented in
"Back of the Man," a melodramatic
photoplay which gets a strong hold on
the sympathies of the audience. Doro
thy Dalton and Charles Ray. are fea
tured In this story of a noble and in
telligent woman who boosts a young
country chap up the ladder of success,
only to have him turn from her for an
alliance with a useless and immoral
daughter of an Insurance company
president.
For variety, two one-reel Triangle
comedies are presented. Harry McCoy
in "His Rise and Tumble" and Al St.
John in "A Self-Made Man."
In "Back of the Man,'.' Dorothy Dal
ton Is introduced as a stenographer in
an insurance office, and Ray as Larry,
one of tbe young men in the office.
Ellen, the girl, not only performs her
own duties' with patient courage the
only serious worker among a large
force of employes but inspires Larry,
one of the clerks. She is superior in
every respect but throws all oppor
tunity to him, suggests his advance
ment to the president And aids him at
evry turn of his advancing career.
Brooks, the president, desires Larry
to marry Muriel, nis daughter (Mar
garet Thompson), a worthless society
girl, and although Larry has proposed
to Ellen,, she, for some unknown rea
son, repulses him, pleading n, former
engagement, and ; arry and Muriel are
affianced.

Star.
Following a "movie medley of medi
ocrity," or worse, Blanche Sweetj who
rs to appear fn but one, or possibly two
more Paramount photoplays, comes In
'Those Without Sin." a decidedly
worth-while film production and & fit
ting successor to one of the greatest of
all Sweet plays, "The Warrens of Vir
ginia." - "
The title mean's little in its applica
tion to the picture and is poorly chosen,
but that does not rob the picture of
any of its dramatic or artistic merit.
It's one of the best of recent Laskys
and artistically noteworthy for . its
splendid night-lighting effects.
"Those Without Sin" applies to a
number of men and women of the
South', Just before the opening of the
Civil War. In the large assortment of
war dramas written since the late un
pleasantness the hero has almost al
ways been a Union soldier and the vil
lain a member of the other side. "Those
Without Sin" reverses this situation
and smacks of fair play, as well as sig
nalizing a departure from the stereo
typed. -
Miss Sweet is seen as Melaine Lan
dry, datrghter of a southern aristocrat
who is a Government official, . and
makes a loyal and lovable little rebel.
The rapidity with which she registers
various emotions, and the tremendously
real manner in which she expresses the
horror and suffering of her predica
ment, caused by her willingness to
sacrifice herself for her father, make
her work deserving of the highest pos
sible praise.
The masked nlghtriders, who apply
tar and feathers to the villainous
Yankee, furnish an tmpresslve scene.
Other scenes are startling, the repro
duction of Southern homes and streets
of Richmond are excellent, while the
costuming and details approach perfec

"Maggie's First False Step" is a
thoroughly enjoyable Keystone-comedy
with Louise Fazenda and Charles Mur

The Sunset is offering an attractive
double-feature programme for the
week-end, consisting of Pauline Fred
erick In the sensational drama, "Bella
Donna," from the Hichens book of that
name, and .t the four-reel Keystone
comedy success, "The Submarine Pi
rate." The comedy Is one of the big
gest films Keystone ever made and
has a stellar cast of players,, headed
by Syd Chaplin, brother of the fa
mous Charlie. . . . v
"Bella Donna" is a photoplay that
calls upon Miss Frederick for an ex
hibition of strong emotional acting, and
this Famous Players star, who ranks
at the top of the screen's emotional
players, increases her hold upon the
film public by her splendid. portrayal.
"Bella Donna" is the tale of an ad
venturess who poisons her English hus
band in order to be free to go to an
Egyptian with whom she has fallen
In love. But before the poison can ac
complish its deadly work a doctor dis
covers what is being done and saves
the life of the intended victim. Her
olot frustrated. Bella Donna reviles
her husband and gives herself up to
her lover. But the Egyptian' casts her
off, and when she returns humbly to
her home, she finds the doors shut In
her face by the doctor. Alone In the
world, she passes out Into the black
night across the grim desert Into the
great unknown.
Miss Frederick Is assisted by a strong
cast. Including Thomas . Holding and
Julian L'Estrange.
The Submarine Pirate" is one or
the comedy classics, introduces a real
United States submarine ana a weaiin
of rapid-fire and thrill-infested fun.
An interesting Burton Holmes .trave
logue picture is also shown.
Majestic. "
A novel nlot. a perfectly maintained
atmosphere and - clever characteriza
tions make "Aladdin From Broadway"
a most satisfying production for the
picture-going public. It's a drama of
the 'Orient. Involving an American
from Broadway and a mysterious Lng-
lish girl sold into matrimonial slavery
as an Oriental beauty. However ara
matic it may be, and spectacular as
well with a realistic desert sand storm
scene, there is a wealth of straight-
from-the-shoulder humor mat win
bring smiles to the face of the most
cynical.
Edith sterey ana Antonio Moreno are
co-starred in tnis vnagrapn uvi
reeler. Miss Storey appears In the role
of Faimeh, a modern Cleopatra, and
enacts a part that brings her credit.
I'oreno has a variety 'of guises, Includ
lng the Broadway idler. Oriental beg
gar, , Arabian lover and regenerated
American. '
According to the book of Koran, the
Mohammedan bible, a divorcee must
marry and be divorced again before
she can remarry her first' nusoana.
Quite naturally, when Faimeh, a -young
captive, is forced to marry Ahmed, an
old miser diamond merchant, and he, in
pique, divorces her, sha would sooner
put up with her beggar- husband, who
has been substituted for the purpose.
than to remarry the old man.
And the beggar, in reality a rich
young American, who has invaded the
sanctity of th- holy land to win-a bet
among his club members, would nat
urally enough refuse to 'divorce his
beautiful bride But the happiness of
all is complete when It is learned that
Faimeh is the daughter of the bet
loser, and tho gallant rescuer is quite
different from the thieving beggar of
the temporary matrimonial alliance.
Another of those new Pathe "combl-

the cliff dwellings of New Mexico. A
comedy Is also on the bill, together
with a glimpse of the world events as

early life of luxury has seemingly
made it Impossible for "her to exist
without leaning upon some man. She
marries for money and is so humiliated
that she leaves her husband. She bor
rows money from another man, in ah
attempt to fit herself for an operatic
career, but again meets with disillu
sionment. What she .did' not understand is at
length forced upon her attention' by a
third man, who shows her that her
need Is not money but strength of
character. She hesitates to adopt the
Spartan rules which ha lays down for
her guidance, but at length is con
vinced that life, will mean' nothing to
her until she stops coddling herself.
An interesting fact, forcibly brought
out (n the story, is that no singer can
become great without a perfect consti
tution. Most of the famous operatic
stars are naturally robust. Those who
have not perfect health as a birthright
are compelled to acquire it by a course
of training as rigid as that undergone
by athletes.
The person who is so fragile as to be
easily susceptible to colds with every
change in the weather can never reacn
success on the operatic or . concert
stage. The same is true, to a less de
gree, of actors and actresses.
