"JUST SMITH."

Coming to State Theatre,

Tom Walls will be seen at the; State Theatre tomorrow in "Just Smith," the story of a gentleman crook whoj althougli certain of his ability as a craftsman, is uofc bo sure of his heart. That hardened organ is laid siege to by a charming girl, and Smith has to resort to severe measures to kill her infatuation. Much, however, happens before such desperate straits are resorted to. The picture has quite a nujabr of interesting angles, linesae is to be observed in all Smith's plans for despoiling the well-to-do. He never steals jewels; money and bonds are his aim. Not only is Smith audacious; he is a psychologist and studies his victims in advance of his depredations. Well aware that Mrs. Linkley is a wealthy woman, he also knows that she has a weakness for titled people. He covets her wealth, Land as the negotiable portion is probably locked up in her safe at home in the country he plans a raid. A valuable necklace disappears from the safe, and almost everyone in the house is at first suspected, until Detective-Inspec-tor Rolls (Peter Gawtliorne) assures himself that Smith is the culprit. : , A man with such a record must be; yet Smith never stole jewels. The end is bewildering and unexpected, but entirely .satisfactory. ■ - ■ .
