Discovery of bacteria that appears

The Screen
"The Confidence Man," Thomas
Melghan's latest production, opened
at tho Uialto theater yesterday.
The story is a crook melodrama with
touchesof genuine comedy throughout.
Melghan had always made suc
cesses, and among the bigger ones
we will always find this type of story.
"The Miracle Man" wns just such a
picture.
Melghan plays Pan Corvan. fake oil
stock salesman; Laurence Wheat is
Larry Maddox, his lieutenant: Charles
Dow Clark has the role of Godfrey
Querltt, weatlthy and miserly old man
whom Corvan is trying to get to buy
some worthless International Oil.
- There is romance and a. regenera
tion these in this story comedy, pa
thos and. wholesomenesH. And - the
dramatic suspense worked up in the
final climax is terrific. It's Melghan's
best to date.
