UNUSUAL FEATURE AT RIVOLI
Anita Stewart in "The Woman He
Married" Is Interesting Picture.
"The Woman He Married," a First j
Katlonal attraction starring Anita
Stewart, is the current attraction at
the Klvoli theater. The production
has won considerable praise wher
ever it has been shown a3 one of the
most unusual pictures of the year.
The picture has an appeal that
grips the heart and wins the sympa
thy of the spectator for the heroine,
struggling against heavy odds for
the sake of the love that fills her
heart. Miss Anita Stewart gives the
role of the artists' model an inter
pretation that characterizes her as
one of the great screen actresses,
and the supporting cast is fully ade
quate. Fred Niblo directed "The Woman
He Married."
Miss Stewart plays the part of
Natalie Lane, a beautiful model,
who repulses the advances of Byrne
Travers, a famous artist, to whom
all pretty women appeal. She mar
Ties Roderick Warren, son of a steel
magnate. Both love each other
passionately, but when Roderick's
father tries to get his son to give up
his wife, on the plea that she is
below his station in life, the girl de
termines to fight for his love.
The manner in which she over
comes all odds, and in the end
thwarts her father-in-law's oppo
sition, gives the story a "punch" that

GREY STORY AT MAJESTIC

Is a difficult task. Benjamin B.
Hampton found two extraordinary
ones for "When Romance Rides,"
founded upon Zane Grey's widely
read western novel, "Wildfire," re
leased by Goldwln, now being shown
at the Majestic theater.
"It required many weeks of the
most painstaking work to train "the
horses," says Mr. Hampton. "Every
scene in which- the horses appear
represents days of worry and sweat
ing on the part of the entire picture
organization. '
"Of course the animals were afraid
of the glare of the Klieg lights," said
Mr. Hampton. "They shied, backed
away and were in a high state of
nervous excitement because of the
lights alone. The click of the camera
added to this feeling of nervousness.
Many of the scenes were gone
through In rehearsal to the satisfac
tion of everybody concerned, but just
as soon as the cameras began to click
the horses forgot directors and train
ers and watched the lens like an
extra doing his first steps before the
camera." r
"SMILIN' THROUGH," LIBERTY
Norma Talmadge's Picture Will Be
Continued This Week. ,
The killing of a bride on her wed
ding day provides just one of a score
of big dramatic moments in Norma
Talmadge's "Smilln' Through," the
current attraction at the Liberty.
Monyeen , and John Carteret are
being married when Jeremiah Wayne,
a rejected suitor, shouts "Stop!" and
levels a revolver at John. Monyeen
rushes forward to protect John and
receives the bullet intended for him.
As John sees that she is dying he
orders the minister to complete the
ceremony, and it is done.
In the ensuing years John's only
happiness lies in the memory of his
beloved Monyeen and the love of her
niece, Kathleen, who has been left
in his charge, but he becomes furious
when Kathleen introduces him to
young .Kenneth Wayne, son of Jere-
miah, as her lover. The dramatic
plot expands around the romance of
this young couple and the parr which
the earlier tragedy plays in it.
"Smilin' Through" is an adaptation
of Allen Langdon Martin's highly
Ruccessful stasre nlav. and is directed
I by Sidney Franklin. Norma enacts
the parts of Monyeen and Kathleen.
RACING PHOTOPLAY, CIRCLE
"Thunderclap" Is Tremendously
. Interesting Melodrama.
"Thunderclap," the remarkable
William Fox special, showing at the
Circle theater today and tomorrow,
is aptly heralded as "a thrilling melo
dramatic picture with a laugh every
minute and a thrill every 30 seconds."
An all-star cast cleverly depicts the
absorbing story of love, intrigue,
romance and, last but not least, a
horserace yet unequaled on the silver
screen.
The colorful story of "Thunder
clap" also bring to mind the more
exciting days of yester-year, when
gambling flourished, when the raucous
call of the roulette wheel attendant
mingled with the shrill laughter of
the bizarre feminine and when for
tunes changed hands with monoton
ous regularity.
In this world of gilt and flushed
cheeks there comes the girl of the
convent, ignorant, of the ways of the
wily but strong of character and of
purpose. Her experiences in this new
world, the discovery of a true friend
beneath the reeking atmosphere of
drink and smoke and the result of the
track performance of "Thunderclap"
combine for a story which charms at
the very outset and fascinates until
the unwelcome endi
Wallace Reid plays Phillip Ray,
the wealthy miller's son, who waits
ten years before ho can convince the
doubting Annie that her long absent
husband is really dead. Walter Paget
is the long-suffering and much-sacrificing
Enoch Arden.
"The Fatal Marriage" adheres
closely , to the original story of
"Enoch Arden" as written by Tenny
son in what is probably his most
famous narrative poem. The settings
are effective and convincing, and
while'Miss Glsh does not ride to the
rapids on a cake of ice, and Wallace
Reld does not play polo or .drive an
automobile, there is plenty of drama
and not a little comedy in the production.
