Milton Sills and Anna Q. Nilsson are seen in the leading roles of Calvin Gray and Allegheny Bris kow, supported by Alice Calhoun, Josephine Crowe!!. Charles Sellon, Bert Woodruff, Cissy Fitzgerald and John Roche. . Author Beach lias chosen for the setting of his story a small town In Texas which had been th 1 own into a furore by the discovery of oil in the vicinity. It immediately becomes ; the . Mecca of fortune seekers and adventurers of every kind, among whom are Calvin Gray and Henry Nelson. Nelson. m former army , officer, ihad gone there to tecoraeTich, v-Cray to avenge himself on Nelson because the latter " nad been instrumental in getting him dishonorably dis charged from the army. The enmity between the two men is intensified when both fall la love with the same girl.

' LAST TIMES TODAY Tou have seen many pictures dealing with th's theme but none so true, gripping, or beautifully told. You will see the emotions' of a young girl, brought face to face with the scarred and cynical devil of temptation.

Hackathorne .achieves one of the most noteworthy artis'tic suc cesses of the year in Mrs. Reid's great anti-narcotic production, "Human Wreckage," scheduled for exhibition today at the Liberty the atre. Northrup also acquits him self admirably in many stunningly dramatic scenes. The one in which they braved death together was a mad taxi drive through the city of Los An geles and a head-on crash Into a plunging railroad locomotive. It is called "the ride to Hell" and, ac cording to critics who already have thrilled to its blazing action, it U no misnomer. Hackathorne as an addict taxi driver sees in Northrup, as one Stone, the leader of the drug traf fickers responsible for his condi tion. He gets him as a fare in hi? taxi and then begins a wild ride through the teeming downdown streets of Los Angeles unques tionably one of the most thrilling scenes every flung upon a screen. .

In one of the sensational screen struggles of the year, ranks with the fight of the blacksmith in "Birth of a Na tion" and the famous Tom Sant schl battle in "The Spoilers." It occurs as an amazjng climax of "Fools Highway," spectacular Bowery fctory chosen as Mary Phil -bin's first , starring vehicle since "Merry-Go-Round." and now pay lrg at the Grand theater. The story, adapted from Owen Kildare's j famous life-story "My Mamie Rose' plays O'Malley as !he fighting'gangster, prototype of the author himself, who was a Bowery champion who reformed and became a national figure as a vriler of his experiences.' The bi fight In which he tspit ted against eight Bowery gang sters, occurs in an , underground den. The photography was. post poned until all other scenes in which O'Malley appeared, . had teen taken. " The reason Is odd O'Malley never fights a "faked" battle. After he's finished a screen fray he's always badly beat en up and so Is his adversary. In film circles he is known as a glut ton for realism. ; Night Life in Mosco w Hit By Prosperity Rule MOSCOW, Mar. 21. One result of the recent crusade from within the Communist party against the ostentatious display, of prosperity by speculators and profiteers - has been a decided dampening of night life In the Red capital. A year ago, when crowded gambling ca sinos were operating all night, and dancing among the patrons of rest aurants began only at 3 a, m., and lasted until breakfast time. Mos cow was one of the gayest spots on tho globe. Hundreds of gambling house frequentors and speculators who ate through huge and expensive suppers as only Russians can eat, were arrested and deported on the ground that they, were useless to the state. The two 'biggest gamb ling houses closed down. The Mos cow city administration made sev eral million dollars from gambling licenses. Now. tho only rambling house where roulette and baccarat are played, Is a sad looking place. Only a few tables are running and there the play Is low. There are several licensed j establishments where" the , comparatively 1 mild game of lotto is played." The big cafes, too. are lacking Id patronage and there is so more dancing by patrons, i Cabarets still operate, and the theaters are crowded nightly despite high pric es, an average of $3 to $4 a seat for the ballet or better class dra ma. But Moscow is no longer a "wide open"" town, Little beer saloons, formerly op erated until 2 o'clock In the morn ing and selling only a mild brew, are now closed at 10 o'clock and put under a law providing they must serve hot meals.
