But they cant interest her. Of course, it.s a practical certainty that Gladys Walton will offer something worth watching in this characterization.

The leading man opposite her in Playing With Fire is Hallan Cooley. Hes the man whose manner of kissing the heroine is said to be a box office bet. Second to Miss Walton and Mr. Cooley, Kathryn McGuire and Harold Miller work together in the portrayal of another love match which has more human interest to it than mere sentiment. Elinor Hancock, Lydia Knott, Eddie Gribbon, Hayward Mack, Sydney Franklin, Harriet Laurel and Danny Hoy complete the cast. Dallas Fitzgerald directed it from a story by William M. Clayton and J. U. Giesy. ; ! Cheated Hearts Has Strong Cast ; I The strength of the cast in Cheated' Hearts,, the feature which brings Herbert Rawlinson in a stellar role to the screen of the Strand theater Friday and Saturday, is attested to by the fact that Josef Swick-arfamed as the French father of The Four Horsemen, will be seen in a characterization that is hardly more than a flash on the screen. But it was determined by Iring G. Thal-bergeneral manager at Universal and Hobart Henley, the direcCity tor of Barry Gordon, that every figure ip the story should stand out as a masterpiece of acting, and so only players of , prominence and known ability were chosen to support Rawlinson. 1 1 r Some people are d, g, Dogs canines of every nationality and variety constitute the pet hobby of Pearl White, the WHiam Fox star who comes to the Columbia theater for two days beginning Thursday in Tigers Club, a faof George Goodchilds mous novel.

Miss White went out to parley. For a time pandemonium reigned, and it was some moments before she could make herself heard. Then she decided to adopt King Solomons strategy, discoverng the real owner of the animal by a test of affection. Therefore she told them that as it seemed impossible to decide who really owned the dog she. intended to cut it in two, giving a half to each claimant.
