ANOTHER thrilling crisis is
reached in the seventh episode
of the Pathe serial, "The Fatal
Ring," to be shown at Pantages The
ater tomorrow, starring Pearl "White
and featuring Earle Foxe, Warner Oland
and Ruby Hoffman.
In this latest chapter the Btar is
friven a. few hours in which to locate
the violet diamond and brine it to the
priestess of the sacred order of the
Violet God.
For failing- to recover the violet dia
mond for the sacred ordr of the Violet
God, Nicholas Knox was killed. At a
meeting- of the society, before Knox
was killed, the secret of the terrible
power of the violet diamond was told.
Pearl Standish, the richest girl in
America, and Tom Carlton, a newspa
per reporter, had heard the story.
They were caught by the priestess" ad
herents and were brought into the
meeting. Pearl and Tom struggle to
release themselves from the hold of
the Arabs. At the order of the priest
ess Tom is bound and thrown into a
den. Pearl is told by the priestess that
ehe will have to go to the jail and find
out from Richard Carslake the where
abouts of the diamond, and if she fails
to retnrn by midnight Tom will be
lone away with.
With absolutely no other way out of
Jt. Pearl consents. Pearl interviews
Carslake. the one man who knows
-where the much-wanted diamond is
hidden. Alone with Carslake. Pearl
begs him to tell her where the diamond
Is, He agrees to tell her on the condi
tion that she consent to assist him.
Pearl agrees to aid Carslake escape.
IShe is instructed to go see the Spider,
st crooked politician, whose headquar
ters is at a cafe. Entering, Pearl de
mands' to see the Spider at once. One
of the crooks speaks to Pearl, and,
after learning her mission, tells her he
will bring her to Spider. Following
him up the' stairs and arriving at the
top. Pearl is attacked by two of the
men. In the midst of the struggle the
Spider comes upon the scene and at a
word from him the men release Pearl.
She tells him her mission and con
sents to give him $50,000 to have Cars
lake released. He refuses at first, but
when Pearl puts half the amount be
fore him he consents. Immediately the
Spider sends his men to free Carslake.
Gaining admittance, they knock the
guard unconscious, and, breaking into
the cell, they free Carslake.
Pearl has but one hour left to save
Tom's life. Still In Spider's room.
Pearl awaits the arrival of Carslake.
When he arrives she asks him for the
diamond. He smiles at her and asks
her if she really believed that he was
so foolish as to give her the gem. Cars
lake turns to the Spider and tells him
to hold Pearl, as she will bring him
100,000,000. The Spider looks down at
him contemptuously and tells him that
he will bring the diamond here to this
room within the hour or otherwise he
will lose his taste for diamonds.
Carslake agrees and leaves the room.
In a half hour Carslake returns with
the ring and the setting. Handing it
to Pearl, she examines it. Concealing
it. Pearl thanks the Spider and leaves.
Carslake turns to the Spider and tells
him that he also is going to leave.
Carslake knows that Pearl will imme
diately go to the temple, so he deter
mines to follow her. Spider and two
of his men also follow Carslake.
Tom anxiously awaits the coming f
Pearl, while the priestess has every
thing prepared for Tom's death. There
are only a few minutes left, and if
Pearl fails it-means certain death for
Tim. Pearl instructs her driver to
speed up as fast as he possibly can.
Unknown to Pearl, Carslake Is right
behind her and gaining. Finally he
forges ahead of Pearl and Instructs his
driver to come as close to Pearl's ma
chine as possible and then stop sud
denly and pull oft the front wheel of
her machine. This works very suc
cessfully and Pearl comes to a sudden
stop. Jumping from his car, Carslake
demands the violet diamond from
Pearl. Remembering Tom, Pearl re
fuses. Carslake takes out his watch
and gives Pearl five seconds to hand
over the diamond. As he covers Pearl
with his gun he counts.
Will Pearl give in?
such an entertainment feature as "Jack
and the Beanstalk." And this ten-reel
William Fox story-spectacle, with Its
1300 children, its miniature Cornwall
village, its giant and trio of diminutive
stars whose names are worthy of em
blazonment in the electric lights, holds
for young and old infinitely more charm
than "Babes In Toyland.
In pictorial splendor the picture has
never been surpassed. The Franklin
brothers, the directors, have handled
the herculean task of marshalling the
host of children in flawless fashion.
The settings make one think of the
wonders of the magic wand, the little
people are exquisite altogether, and the
hero and heroine captivate every heart.
With the exception of the giant. Blun
derbore, and the giantess, there is not
a "grownup" in the picture.
Francis Carpenter, as Jack, Is "the
boy of the hour," and his teammate,
Virginia Lee Corbin, possesses all of
the dignity of a little queen. In the
"heavy" role. Prince Rudolph (Violet
Radcliffe) curls "his" mustache, grates
"his" teeth, shakes "his" fist and says
"the blaggard" with a meaning that
only the screen's most villainous vil
lain could express.
"Jack and the Beanstalk" Is a picture
that will enthrall childhood and amaze
and interest maturity.
CHAPLIS XOXSEXSE P CEASES
Mutual Comedian Appears in His
Twelfth and Best Offering.
Bid farewell to Charles Chaplin,
Mutual comedian. The 12th and last
of that Mutual series of two-reelers.
which meant for the public hilarity and
for Chaplin 670,000 in money, is here.
"The Adventurer" opened to the usual
throng of Chaplin fans at the Star
Theater yesterday, several thousand
fans revelling in the 2000 feet of
Chaplin nonsense.
"The Adventurer" is a typicaf Charlie
Chaplin slapstick comedy. Why say
more, unless it be that typical means
it's fully up to the mirthful standard
of Chaplin pictures? This last Mutual
picture, preceding a year of work for
which Chaplin is to get $1,075,000, is
a chase picture. Charlie Is an escaped
convict. No. 23, to be exact, and most of
the footage of the picture is devoted
to the funny and successful efforts of
Charles to retain his freedom. He es
capes from the prison, leads the guards
a merry chase over the hills, and then
jumps into the ocean. He spies a bath
ing suit, grabs it, dives, and comes up
sans the prison stripes. His rescue of
a woman from drowning paves the way
for the introduction of a love affair
with pretty Edna Purvlance, and a
rivalry for her affections with Eric
Campbell. Needless to say, Charlie out
wits the prison guards ere his Mutual
swan song is rendered.
"Sands of Sacrifice" is a typical
William Russell picture, with Bill dis
playing his athletic prowess in sev
eral instances, notably a scrap in
which, with back to wall, he holds off
four assailants. The picture not only
displays his physical prowess, but his
other side as a good fellow and tender
lover.
the world and finally returns to face
both men who have come into her life,
and win her happiness, forms a fas
cinating and dramatic story. The scenes
are laid in South Africa and are said
to be unique and beautiful in the ex
treme. The story is taken from a play by
Ben Teal and John P. Ritter. which is
based upon the popular novel by Cyn
thia Stockley. It is directed by Ed
ward Jose, who formerly lived in South
Africa, and has given the scenes a
strongly realistic flavor.

me and I was pretty roughly handled
before I could make them understand
that It was only a fake handbill, used
in a motion picture, which I had
thoughtlessly stuffed in my pocket."

Another of those stories entitled.
"How They Did It in the Good Old
Iays" follows:
"Axel Smith, the well-known and
Justly celebrated dare - devil camera
man and producer of motion pictures,
had a narrow escape last week. When
he asked a vaudeville actress to appear
In one of his pictures, the lady became
highly insulted and hit him with a leg
of the tripod of his camera, which she
pried off in her rage. Axel, who de
clares' he is something of a prophet,
fired a parting shot at the actress as
he was going hurriedly down the fire
escape, saying that some day she would
jump at the chance to receive a regular
moving-picture salary pay check. It is
eaid, on high authority, that at these
words the lady was prostrated.
Aspirants Bob Hair.
When Mrs. Vernon Castle, the Pathe
star, entered the studio the other
morning ready to start the day's work,
she gasped and then made a great
effort to keep her face straight. In
the anteroom of the studio where each
morning a crowd of all sorts and con
ditions of people gathers in the hope of
getting some work to do In pictures,
were five women of radically differ
ent typs, each of whom had cut her
hair in the "Castle bob." and each of
whom, from her look of complacency,
was completely satisfied -with the re
sult. The first was a woman weighing
about 250 pounds on the hoof, with a
face like a full moon; the second used
to be young and skinny," but now was
merely skinny and looking like 60
dressed like 20; the third was frec
kled and would win a blue ribbon In
the dish-faced pug class at a dog show;
the fourth stood six feet one in her
stockings but had forgotten to grow
6idewi8e while she was growing
lengthy: the fifth but what's the use?
"Mrs. Castle," said Antonio Moreno,
who had also noticed the weird effects,
'if anyone but you had started that
style of haircut'for women I could say
something harsh."
"Redemption," which is the current at
traction at the Peoples Theater, gives
promise of becoming a real screen lum
inary. Those who go to see Miss Nes
bit in settings reminiscent of the
Harry Thaw-Stanford White affair will
be agreeably surprised by the histri
onic ability of the star.
"Redemption" tells the story of a
woman with a past. This story is un
folded in dramatic and convincing
fashion, minus the suggestivenes one
might expect from a tale of this char
acter, and with forcefulness and inter
est enhanced by the presence of Miss
Nesbit, her precocious son, Russell
Thaw, the similarity of certain portions
of the story to that of Miss Nesbit's
own life and the presence of two play
ers who resemble Harry Thaw of the
pre-trial days and Stanford White.
The play opens where Alice Loring,
the wife (Miss Nesbit) of a young
draughtsman, is reminded of a dark
page in her past, when she was made
the victim of a man of wealth and so
cial standing. The man In question dis
covers her whereabouts and tries -to
force her to return to him. Her refusal
leads to the loss of her husband's po
sition. A battle of sickness leaves the
young woman a widow, with a young
son to support. After undergoing
may hardships she becomes the owner
of a successful dressmaking establish
ment. .
The story then leaps forward 15
years. The son is now a college stu
dent. One of his classmates is the son
of the same man of wealth. Harry
(Russell Thaw) is introduced to his
classmate's sister, and immediately
falls in love. Harry's mother, and the
girl's father oppose the match, but
Harry finally wins her through his
brave act of saving the brother from
death in a burning laboratory.

Evelyn Nesbit, in "Redemption,"

WILLIAM FO STORY THRILLS
"Jack and the Beanstalk" Show at
Majestic Theater.
When superlatives are freely lavished
on the above-the-average photoplay
it s difficult to word-catalogue a pro
duction like "Jack and the Beanstalk.'
The success of this picture, which
opened a limited engagement at the Ma
jestic Theater yesterday, is so striking
that one can do no more than empty his
basket of superlatives and gather the
choicest of them into a bouquet of ap
preciation.
"Jack and the Beanstalk" marks
new departure in literature of films.
and signalizes the entrance of a new
masterpiece in the library of the silent
drama. Not since "Babes in Toyland
made such a wonderful appeal to the
child-spirit ot the public has there been
THE NARROW TRAIL' THRILLER
William S. Hart Attraction at Lib
erty Theater Today.
The Narrow Trail," the first Art-
craft, production featuring William S.
Hart, king of all portrayers of West
ern roles, will be the attraction at the
Liberty Theater, commencing today.
An unusual interest is attached to
this first of Hart's photoplays under his
new affiliation, for the story was writ
ten by the famous interpreter of the
Wild West himself, who built it around
a series of stories told him by a friend
of the early pioneer days.
In this picture the public will be
given glimpses of life in the San Fran
cisco Barbary Coast. Hart has the role
of a Western highwayman who ventures
into a typical "honky tonk of a decade
ago. and film audiences will see pre
sented with graphic vividness the sen
sational features of night life that made
this particular section of San Francisco
notorious the world over.
Nothing like the Barbary Coast has
ever been known. It occupied a niche of
its own in underworld history. Here
11 sorts of crimes were plotted and
perpetrated. Here were drawn the
dregs of criminal organizations from
foreign fields, as well as this country,
and here crime thrived and blossomed
and succeeded as nowhere else in all the
world. Port Said, reputed to be a "bad
town," was a kindergarten compared
with San Francisco's Barbary Coast in
its palmiest period. And it is this
period that is so wonderfully reprod
uced in Hart's "The Narrow Trail."
An effort to "shanghai" the big, rug
ged Western highwayman results in a
fight that for sheer spectacular features
said to have no 'parallel in screen
battles.
The story of "The Narrow Trail" fea
tures Hart's pinto pony, Fritz, who was
retired from active screen work upon
the completion of the picture. In addi
tion to the fight in the Barbary Coast
resort some spectacular riding, a few
holdups, and other stirring incidents
are introduced.
PATRIOTIC FILM FEATURED
For France" Is Full of Romance
and Light Comedy.
"For France." a patriotic photoplay
with an American hero and a French
heroine, an ideal combination in these
days, will be shown at the Sunset The
ater today. Romance and light com
edy are interspersed with thrillers in
the shape of battles between English
and Germans, realistic aeroplane scenes
and a mixup between the American and
disciple of kultur.
Edward Earle and Betty Howe are
the featured players in this picture,
which has been praised so highly by
the pre-exhibition critics. Earle is
cast as Gerald Askland, a young Amer
ican art student in Paris, who falls in
love with Marthe, a charming French
girl, whose father, a noted artist, is a
victim of paralysis. Shortly after this
the war breaks out and Marthe tells
Gerald there can be no thought of mar
riage until it is over. Gerald Joins the
aviation corps, Marthe and her father
going to a little farm presided over by
Mere Loubette. One afternoon when
Gerald is making a flight some escaped
German prisoners and their officer visit
the farm house. After eating their fill
the officer attacks Marthe. Gerald ar
rives in his plane and is fighting with
the officer when a detachment of Eng
lish cavalry arrives. The soldiers are
arrested again, but the officer escapes.
A German regiment moves up and plans
to attack. The attack is repulsed. Ger
ald and the girl return to Paris.
