THE LYCEUM

PATSY RUTH MILLER IN' "THE FIGHTING EDGE." In these days of wholesale rumrunning and smuggling through all the borders of the United States, the smuggling of aliens across them has paled, so far as volume is concerned into insignflcance, but not in thrills, romance, and interest. This is amply demonstrated in Warner Bros, production of "Th e Fighting Edge," starring Patsy Buth Miller and Kenneth Harlan, at the Lyceum to-night. The smuggling of Chinese through from Mexico is said to be a more or less steady practice ever since the passage of the exclusion act which barred them from the United States. The constant batlo of wits, plot, counter-plot and subterfuge going on between the United States secret service and the international law-breakers who make a profession of smuggling aliens into this country is one fraught with danger, hardship, and uncertainty. It is a part of this fight constantly going on. secretly and stealthily that is portrayed in "The Fighting Edge,”
