He is to run for mayor when a former crook of his association puis in an appearance and his confession to the people that he has been a thief brings the story to an unusual and amazing climax. The picture is a Goldwyn offering and the ideal vehicle for Tom Moore. The final oi “ Perils of the Yukon ” is being shown this week with the opening chapter of now and up to date serial “ The Radi King,” which is a mystery play and opens up very well. A sunshine comedy “The Pour Flushcr ” is also showing.
