So great is his influence that this re--
view wili practically send the play to'
the storehouse. After leaving the thea-
tre and refusing all entreaties to
change his severe criticisms of the?
'cast and manager. he finds himself
thrown into '1 number of most unusual
and exciting situations which last un-
til the following morning. A
Then the truth of the matter dawns
upon’ him. He realizes what silly, ab-
surd things: he has done in almost the
same situations that confronted the
hero in the play,
When tho matter is straightened out
he finds that the troupe has put up ’the'
job on him to prove his views of “Apart!
111th 29" wrong. So he changes his
ideas on the subject and sends an ex-
cellent criticism of the play he had in-
tended to condemn to his paper.

And yet, they’re MILD!

MOST HUMAN FILM DRAMA
COMING TO THE PALACE
“The Bar Sinister" From Rex Beach's
Novel, Deals With Eternal
Race Problem

"The Bar Sinister," the great Edgar
Lewis photodrama to be shown at, the.
Palace Theatre, tomorrow and Satin--
day, can be reckoned one of the most
human plays seen this seas't. it is
placed in a setting of ‘ dutiful wood-
lands; at n time Just , .ccedlng the‘Civ-
ll War and contains scores of lobes
and appealing situations.

Tlios‘c scenes donated uy Colonel
Stilliter, the rich and cruel Slave driv-
er, show that “true southern gentle-
man" to be a veritable Simon Degree.
His treatment of his human chattels,
the' beatings and brutality which the
black servant received as his reward
for hard work, make the spectator re-
juice at the fairer methods of today.

of the unusual type is that of Buck
Moe, ex-pugilist and n ganster of the
most depraved kind. When he meets
his master in Ben Swift, in whose veins
flow white, black and Seminole blood.
there is a scene so primitlvely violent
and desperate that the entire village
joins in the fight and pandemonlum
reigns.

But "The Bar Sinister," ' on the
whole, is a combination of the tender
side of life and the tumultuous.

There is the beautiful Belle Davis,
the some time lovely child Annobele

home by the vengeful Lindy. Her life

of Ben Swift's attentions and her hap-

planlcr’s son, are treated with tender-
ness and effect.

ren and Belle are ts charming as can
be imagined. Enframed by the beauti‘
ful and picturesque woods, the various

ture lorers.

Whether one judges from a romantic
or picturesque standpoint,
Sinister“ is a film play of more than
ordinary interest and strength,
