'WOLF’S CLOTHING'

MONTE BLUE’S LATEST ‘ Wolf’s Clothing, 3 the Warner Bros, picture, starring Monte Blue, which has its initial screening at the Octagon Theatre on Friday, is one of the most diverting pictures of the season. Founded upon Arthur Somers Roche’s story, it tolls a talo that recalls the spirit of 0. Henry. For here New York is once more transformed into Bngdad-on-tlic-Subway, and once more adventure comes to commonplace people and turns them into types of true romance. Like a character in the ‘Arabian Nights,’ Barry Balinc, a subway guard, is transported into scenes of great pomp and circumstance, and whirled through a night of mad excitement. The night, is New Year’s Eve, and the place is New York. A gang of crooks are out to get oO,OOOdoI in loot, and Barry Bali ae finds himself out to got the crooks. Monte Blue is Barry and Barry is a role that suits Mr Blue in every particular. A big, husky, laughing roughneck, he plays with a zest that sweeps the adventure along into the realm of convincing probability. Playing opposite him is Patsy Ruth Miller, as a, society girl who wants to see life without a chaperon. She is out to capture her freedom. She captures, instead, the affections of the subway guard. Other outstanding performances aro given by John Miljnn, Douglas Gerrard, Lee Moran, and Kala Pasha.
