"Walter Long" plays the part of the Sea Wolf, It will be remem- bered that he was the bandit chief' in "Blood and Sand." The story opens with the inhab. ftants of the little village of Ur- key, on the New England coast, facing the tragedy of a fishing set- tlement--a terrific storm that has wiped out the wishing fleet, After # night of prayerful watching bits of spars are cast up, a fisherman notes the mutual attraction and tries to forget his own love in his friendship for Malden, The Min- ister and Sympathy are married in due season. Malden 1s called away to attend a ministerial conference in the town of Infield just as a daughter is born to Sympathy, But. his hap- piness is turned to horror by the arrival of a note which, bearing Dan Gibbs' signature, informs him that Sympathy's first husband Is atill alive! The writer announced his willingness to keep out of the it Malden would *loan him and an aged Chinaman drifting in with the wreckage, | Among the first lost, said the fisherman, was Dan Gibbs, unoffi- cial "admiral" of the fleet, Sym- pathy Gibbs, young wife of the fisherman, is declared to be the gainer through his death, One of the most convinced of this fact is Nate Snow, owner of the bank and drug store, . The Chinaman, Yen Sin, refuses to take part in the prayer for the souls of the lost, later sets up as | a laundryman in a barge near the shore. About the same time comes the new minister, John Malden, to the village. Soon he meets Sympathy Gibbs and from the moment of their in- troduction begins the romance of Sympathy and Malden, Nate Snow home confides his secret to his friend, Nate Snow, from whom he borrows the sum demanded and that night leaves it under a tree designated in the note. Yen Sin, calling for the minister's laundry, SE dd who will be on the Regent screen for four. nights next week in "Speedy." hears a part of the dis i Malden gives his wife a mum- bled excuse for leaving home and | going to live over Nate Snow's drug store, Some important work concerning the confevence, he says, 'makes it seem best to live there for a while, The following Sunday the min- ister breaks down in the pulpit and resigns, Nate, meanwhile, stands by, the A---- a TORONTO: Columbus NEW DANCE CLASSES E WILL continue our Dance Classes after the closing of the Winter Gar- dens to the public.

Mal. den arrives, along with many mem- bers of his congregation who sought to bid farewell to the dying man, Among these was Sympathy, carrying her baby. It is here that the Chinese phil- osopher-laundryman turns the tab- les and, bartering his own soul for theirs, forces confession from the principal of the drama. And in so doing he succeeds in untangling the maze of difficulties involving Malden and Sympathy--untangles them in a manner that gives the story a sudden surprising twist that has caused it to be pronoun- ced one of the greatest products of the pen of an American writer, CONTINUE INQUIRY INTO WINNIPEG FIRE .

It is understood that the Lloyd picture *SBpeedy," is a wonderful box officqg attraction, yet "The En- my," which appears at the earlier part of the week, is a different style of picture entirely, The week's program might be described by some cities as going "from the sublime to the ridiculous." Howey- er, "The Enemy" has everything that the average person likes--it | LILLIAN GISH | has pathos, as well as parts of a lighter vein, But we must remem- ber that this very picture made the nations "sit up and take no- tice," It "handwriting on the wall" means anything, "The Enemy' will pack the Regent theatre for both nights. The story goes back to the eve of the Great War Bruce, an English youth and Carl, an Austrian, declare lasting friendship when the stud- ent body of the University of Vi- enna break class, Both are in love | with Pauli, daughter nf Professor Arndt, a lovable scholar. Pauli, however, loves Carl, and Bruce ac- cepts the fact with good grace, toasting their love at a party giv- en for Carl, Into the atmosphere of love and friendship comes the thunderbolt | LON CHANEY in "The Enemy" which will be shown at the Regent for two nights only next week, Monday and Tues- day. of war, releasing hate, and causing Carl and Bruce to come to hlows over an insult to the flags of their respective countries. Carl knifes Bruce, then is horrified at the sight of blood. Arndt is unable to curb the stupid hate, and Bruce leaves for England at once, anxious to serve his country, The strains of the wedding march, when Pauli and Carl are married, are broken by military music from outside, and the sha- dows of war, typified by marching soldiers are cast upon them. Carl, a reservist, is called to the colors that night, and he and Pauli spend their wedding eve in a welter of emotion, horrified at the growing | nearness of separation. Carl is a- fraid of killing unknown men-- now that is immiment--but Paull bravely urges him on, glthough hating to let him go. Her father is discharged from the University for pacifist wutter- ance and he and Pauli are reduced to poverty. Carl's father, Behrend, a war profiteer, offers money, which Arndt pushes aside, saying that it is stained with the blood of women and children--the price (Continued on page 10) "Shadow" which will be shown at the New % Matinee, $1.00 % Eyening, ry $1.50 FROIN pn, Martin Theatre starting Monday. | picture producers when 'Speedy, his latest and funniest picture, re- leased to Paramount, plays the Regent theatre next week, Other stars before, and since | Lloyd became an independent pro- ducer, have tried hard at going it alone, but with uncertain success. With his first picture, Lloyd made good, and he has been making good ever since, His initial independeny offering was "Girl Shy," which Le followed with "Hot Water," "The Freshman," "For Heaven's Sake," "The Kid Brother" and now "Speedy." Rather an imposing list of productions, and all big box of- fice successes, Iloyd's background in the film business made it almost a certainty that he would succeed as an inde- pendent producer. There is no one in the industry better qualified to make high grade comedies, for Lloyd's training through the years leaves him almost in a class by him- self as a judge of humorous ma- terial, This {is quite evident from the success he has had in selecting his stories from "Girl Shy," to "Speedy." In his latest endeavor, Lloyd has a variety of comedy that appeals to all types of audiences.
