"The Ne'er-Do-Well."
- "The Ne'er-Do-Well." by Rex
Beach, the Selig spectacular drama
filmed by the Selig Polyscope Com
pany, features Wheeler Oakman and
Kathlyn Williams and an all-star
cast. The ljero is Kirk Anthony, a
college graduate, a veteran football
pljhyer, and, since graduation the
coach of his university team. On the
evening following a football victory,
the last of the season, Kirk and oth
ers start out to celebrate. Late that
night he finds himself on shipboard,
and when he awakens he is without
money and without baggage. Dur
ing the voyage Kirk becomes ac
quainted with a woman a Mrs.
Stephen Cortlandt whom he learns
to admire very much. She is really
a diplomatic agent of great influence.
One day while Kirk Is out hunting
he meets In a forest bower, a Spanish
girl who is known only as "Chiqulta."
He falls desperately in love with her,
and tries vainly to discover her iden
tity. The story of his making good,
of his winning of Chlquita despite
the counter plottlngs of Mrs. Cort
landt, of the clearing of his name,
and of the final decisive intervention
in Panamanian affairs of old Darwin
K. Anthony, Is strongly engrossing
and varied by many richly humorous
episodes. Chiqulta is by far the
most charming feminine character

Rex Beach has drawn, and Kathlyn
Williams as Edith Cortlandt is an ex
ceedingly convincing and fascinating
type. "The Ne'er-Do-Well" will be
shown on Sunday at the Star theatre.
