many screen successes among the

sumo directorial duties after a short
excursion into the acting field.
Worthington. at the moment un-
occupied since he had already fin-

not yet ready to begin on the next
one, was approached by a. brother
dizcctcr. Paul Powell. and asked to
assume one of the minor roles in
"The Awful Truth." the Elmer Har-
ris production on Which Powell was
then working.
Although for the past few years
Worthington has been busy direct-
ing. before that time he played doz-

stage and before the camera. He
started his panoramic career as an
opera singer after many years of
study both here \and abroad under
masters of prominence.
Scarcely had he achieved it place
in grand opera titan his voice began
to fall from the terrific strain. He
was forced to abandon this realm of
his work. This did not seem. how-

Scenes in Picture
With all the melodrama of such a
picture as “Those Who Dance." and
all the mystery and charm of "Cor-
nered." "Midnight Molly." may be
called one of the outstanding movie
successes of the year.
The third Evelyn Brent produc-
tion shows the star to great advan-
tage: and the dual role in which she
is cast gives her exceptional oppor-
tunitylto display the skill in charac-
terization which has made her the
best actress on the screen in crook-

which is from the pen of Fred Kon-
ncdy Myton. is the story of a girl
who by an unusual twist of fate is
called upon to take the part of the
wife of a prominent attorney. run-
ning for Governor. Her resemblance
to the real wife makes this substi-
tution possible: and the complica-
tions that arise are numerous and
exciting. Director Lloyd lngraham
has brought out all the fine points
of a. truly thrilling melodrama. The
picture comes to the Rialto Theatre
tomorrow.

of cinema art in those parts, due.
perhaps, to the high calibre and in-
tolligence of its directors, the type
that is, devoid of the “rough-neck"
tactics so commonly used in this
City of Angels.
The outside public have benn edu—
cated in divers ways to look upon
directors of motion pictures as “hard
bollet ." loud and. seemingly, men
who “tear hearts" in their desire to
get effects and dramatic. action
across. In some respects this is
true. but thoso that resort to this
practice are either foutuilusliers or
"acting" for the bcnetit of the spec.
tutors behind the scenes. Their ef-
forts never reach lhf‘ screen. but are
lost in the whirlpool of conceit be-
hind the cameras. Their cnergy and
whatever abilities thvy nuts possess.
are left in a maze of seething incon-
sistencies that swallows up their bet-
ter judgment like a babe in a mucl—
