Participating in the tangle are. Harry .Myers,. Jimmy .Morrison, Landers Stevens. Patsv Ruth Miller, William Austin and William Courtleigli. Deadly darts of Dan Cupid ! Maidens who dip their pens too hastily in the lovers' inkwell may have time to ( regret’ their letter writing propensities when the.y are later engaged, to someone else. For the words that seem inuororn enough can cause a world of trouble when read by jealous eyes. Such is I lie theme of tire Shirley Mason picture, “Love Letters.” produced by Fox. the other feature showing. Then there is mystery. Shadows creeping in dark rooms at midnight, figures lurking in the silence, waiting, waiting—and then something happens. More suspense, deeper mystery, and when everyone least, suspects it. the picture ends in a surprising manner. In addition a. great programme of supporting pictures will lie shown. EVERYBODY’S. There are plenty of thrills in “The Midnight Alarm,” a Master feature to lm presented to-night, at Everybody’s Theatre. Seldom have so many hazards been attempted by film stars, for there is real danger to life in. many of the sonsational incidents. Silas Carringfoi'd kills his partner, and makes overtures to the widow. In escaping from his unwelcome attentions she is killed at a. rail- 1 way crossing. Her daughter, known ■as Sparkle (admirably played by winsome Alice Calhoun) becomes a member of a slum family, and not knowing that she is heiress to millions, has a nows stall. Carringtord seeks her identification papers, and traps her in a vault in his office. Five breaks out in the building, and Sparkle is saved just in time from liar prison by a fire-captain, and romance fills her days. There is sensation in every reel. A train running to certain- destruction unless a badly wounded man succeeds in letting the drawbridge! down ; a motor car in collision with a train ; the fireman’s valiant and successful effort to release the girl from the vault while the building in which she is imprisoned is a seething mass of flame; and the thrilling jump to safety from a height of several stories. Joseph Kilo-our and Cullen Landis support, Miss Calhoun and Mr. Marmont. The scenes are very spectacular, and the whole production a- creditable offering. The supports are in keeping with the excellence of the star feature, and include “How to Dance the One Step”; “Dogs of War,” featuring those fun . rascals “Our Gang” youngsters; and the Pathe i Gazette.
