As Oldaliama Red, Beery is oce again pictured in a part worthy of his talent. He is the incarnation of the glorious vagabond-, huge, vital, human, an animal with a deep, roaring laugh, rovingthrough the world, beating a living out of life, lustful,'domineering, brutal, sacrificing himself with the same easy smile with which, but a moment previously, he hurled a . man to a violent death. The story deals noth the adventures of a boy and girl, one an outcast, > and the other a fugitive from justice. From out of the unknown flashes a,new name in electric lights on Broad’wav. She was an instant sensation. Toast of the clubs, eagerly sought after, the idol of the town, this famous Russian woman was for all tbit an enigma. No one knew anything about her, and she herself' would never speak of the past. Into her life came love and romance. And then she knew that before happiness could he hers, she would have to sacrifice all the glamour and success and tell h°r secret. What it was- is told in “The Spotlight,” featuring Esther Ralston.
