NEW ARLISS FILM.
"WORKING MAN" FOR CIVIC. A picture that k eure to be popular with the masses as well aa the intelligentsia—like all the Arliss products—is "The Working , Man," which will receive its local premiere at the Civic Theatre tomorrow. George Allies hae a role of the type which he did eo successfully in "The Millionaire" nearly two years ago. He is cast as an industrial chief, head of i great shoe concern, and hie whimsicality is said to find plenty of room for , ite usual delightful expression. The story is scarcely plausible, yet it ia made to appear so, eaye one critic, by the clever acting of everyone in the cast and by the really first-claes photography and settings, directed with evident genius. "Mr. Arliee' impersonation of Reeves, the shoe magnate, alias Izaak Walton, the fisherman," writes another critic, .'% a masterpiece. Nevertheless, the film is by no means a one-man show, for the cast give him excellent support. In particular, Bette Davis shows she is a younpt player to be reckoned with in assessing screen talent to-day."
