Its greatness does not lie In the spectacular, the unusual nor yet the beauty of the production. It lies to a great extent in the theme which is that of youth. To the average motion picture audience this picture will make a direct appeal, for it tella the story of a certain period in each person's development which has eith er been experienced or is in the fu ture. Futures, at times, may be perilously near and to those who are at the turning point In youth, the ap peal will be tremendous. Clara Jvimball xoung, star oi -niyes of Youth" has never done any better work than she has in this her con fessedly most pretentious role. Log ically she would not seem the type or person to portray "Gina" the young girl who In the drama is at the point of life where she must choose be tween three distinct careers each one of which may change the entire con tour of her horizon and that of those dearest and nearest to her. But in some manner. Miss Young has por trayed Gina so that even those quali ties which might seem not in nar- mony with the character have even turned into assets. Perhaps the great est of all changes in her work Is tnat she no longer is apparently so anx ious to display her personal charm attd her wonderful clothes. They are both there but they supplement rather than predominate the picture. In accompaning the picture, Cecil Teague, Majestic organist, has made some Interesting musical selectiops. Metcalfe "Absent," "Un Bel Di Ven dremo," from Madame Butterfly, and the barcorolle from "Tales of Hoff mann" are among the compositions he uses to good effect. The Sunset will have a premature baseball season beginning tomorrow when they present Charles Ray in "The Busher." for four days.

He has a girl of course and she is a small town girl. The delaying of a baseball special with a big league baseball team en route to their training camp starts the action when they decide to pick up a little monev in the town by playing the local "team. They play the team but fail to pick up the money. Ray goes to the big league and gets what is commonly known as a swelled head.- He forgets the small town girl and proceeds to show his paces. . Then comes the climax. He is farmed out and quits baseball forever.- That la hi lnteatloa but the 1 Charles Ray, who will be shown in at the Snnset theater tomorrow. girl enters into the argument. Then comes the best part of the picture. The girl who undertakes to forge her way alone into a career on the stage must be possessed of tremen dously strong character according to the portrayal of that type of girl in "The Black Gate." This production, with Earle Will iams as star, will open at the Star tneater tomorrow. The experience of the girl is dem onstrated by Vera Hampton, a young woman cast on the sea of theatrical ambition. Allan Bowen, a dissolute. unscrupulous theatrical manager lays his tentacles upon her, and by means of alluring promises of the career he will create for her, seeks to bring the gin to her spiritual ruin. This leads to a tragedy, which In vuives ine lives or two other men who love the girl. One is Shaler spencer, a former great lawyer who has fallen into retrograde and oblivion. The other is Wade DeFor est, a spoiled young son of wealth. How the latter Is arrested on a charge of murder, and how the for mer attempts to sell his life and go to the death chair in the youth's place form a plot full of the most lenseiy dramatic kind of action.
