Numerous photoplays have been written around the subject, but never has it been handled with adrcitness or power as it is in "The Dead Alive." The story deals with the lifa of two girls, twin sisters, one of whom marries a wealthy business man ar.d the other goes upon the ' stage. It is a drama replete with dramatic thrills and genuine love interest, by a cast of players of wideinterpreted experience and marked ability. Beautiful Margaret Courtot plays the dual role of the sisters, giving the two parts a touch that holds the spectator from the first. Nor does she fall to give the sisters little individual differences which make It possible to distinguish them other than from their gowns or different positions In life. For Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the Rex will have Bayard Veiller's according to a subtitle, a man who agines himself In love with each pretty face he meets. He meets many in fact, there are enough pretty girls in this picture to make up for many other deficiencies. Crane casts off one friendless girl, .whom he has basely deceived, to marry Diana,, a wealthy member of the younger set. "With Diana he Is happy, until his wandering fancy settles upon her chum, Kdna. Diana finds them in each other's arms, there is a scene, then Diana, her love for her husband coming to the front, divorces him and makes him marry Edna. After his eecortd marriage, the same thing occurs. He develops an affection for Arlene, a cabaret sing'er, and neglects Edna for the new love. Then Edna dies, and Diana, the discarded wife, comes to the front and takes care of the baby which Edna has left behind. Crane spends his fortune on Arlene, who. finding him "broke." goes back to the Angeles, who was providing for her in the first 'place. Crane sinks lower and lower, takes up drink and drugs, and eventually finds himself playing" In the orchestra in the cabaret where Arlene is singing.

The evils resulting from gambling are realistically depicted in the American-Mututhree-pahuman interest drama "In the Shuffle," which will be seen at the Mehesy theatre today, with Edward Coxen and WInnifred Greenwood in the leading roles. This gripping drama centers about Sharlee Evans, daughter of a man driven to suicide through his passion for gambling, and Bill Ensor, silent partner in a gambling establishment. Ensor incurs the enmity of his partner. Bluff Stuart, because he insits on running a straight game. Stuart has an accomplice, known as "The Kid,'? who also hates Ensor. During a quarreJ. which started when "The Kid" was barred from a poker game, Ensor Is shot and taken to a hospital. There he meets Sharlee Evans, a nurse and sister of "The Kid." Ensor falls In love with Sharlee and proposes to her, but when she learns that he is a gambler, she refuses him and tells him that gambling caused her father's death and ruined her brother. Ensor then decides to sell out his share and, take tap an honorable profession. Stuart and "The Kid" quarrel, and Stuart is shot by another man. who hates him. Suspicion points to Sharlee's brother, but Ensor assumes the guilt for the murder. The real assailant confesses and Ensor on the promise to give up gambling effects a reconciliation with Sharlee to their mutual happiness. Pretty "Winnifred Greenwood makes a charming Sharlee, playing a sympa- -' thetlc role with a delicacy and finesse that adds greatly to the enjoyment of this stirring picture.
