Richard Talmadge, who is liio star of "Lot's Go!" which heads tho new programme at Greater Crystal Palace for this v;cokJ commencing to-day, is conceded to be tho most fearless man appearing beforo the camera.

Wyndham Standing takes tho part of a self-made mac, and it is his ■villainy in helping the lieroino to cultivate herself that eventually nearly ruins her happiness. Lynch, tho author, has crammed into this drama every phase of modern city life, from the luxurious to the sordid, and back again. Thi3 picture is the first in which radio is employed along with an aeroplane, ns a means to build up the dramatic climax Tho story deals with the love of a Canadian girl and a tremendously wealthy York youth who meets her in h ®. r nt»ive environment.
