But\nI am rather dubious of the City Park\nas a suitable place, as a bowling green\nrequires to be kept In very good condition, and the oflicers would hardly\nhave sufficient control over a public\nground to ensure this always being\nthe case.

Its story is such as to permit\nof the painting of real life with plenty\nof light and shade, and as a consequence there is both wholesome\ncomedy and gripping drama.\nThe picture public is always Interested in \"big things\" which producers\nfor the screen find it possible to use\nin telling their stories. An early incident of \"His Wife's Money\" showB a\ndisabled motor boat with a beautiful\ngirl Its lone occupant, snatched from\nsure destruction as It hangs on the\nvery brink of a precipitous waterfall.\nDeep In the bowels of the earth, later\nln the action, there Is shown a terrific\nexplosion which successfully uncovers\na rich vein of ore which means a fortune for the hero. Still later Is shown\nthe money-mad stock exchange in\nNew York in the throes ot a \"bear\"\nmovement that means ruin and disaster for hundreds ot frenzied operators.\nWith Eugene O'Brien playing a\nrole for which he is ideally suited,\nZona Keefe as his principal support,\nand surrounded by a cast of players\nwho are among the ablest ever assembled for a Selznlck picture, It Is not\nstrange that the wealth of action\nwhich is Indicated by these big scenes\nmakes for drama of the kind that is\nrarely encountered in the picture\ntheatre.\nSynopsis of the Story.\nRichard Flint, a young engineer,\nhas gone to the Adirondacks for a\nrest. While fishing he is startled by a\ngirl's cry for help. Marion Phelps,\nan heiress, Is drifting towards a\nwaterfall. Flint rescues her, and it is\na case of \"love at first sight.\"\nTheir love-making progresses rapidly. Flint, strong, independent and\numbltious, regards Marlon's wealth as\na \"golden barrier,\" but the marriage\ntakes place after Marlon bas promised\nto live within her husband's income.\nJames Caldwell, trustee of Marion's\nestate, had hoped to win Marion for\nhimself. Before the wedding Cald\nwell had attempted to poison Flint's\nmind against his fiancee, and after\nthe marriage his efforts continued.\nTilts between Flint and his wife,\nbased upon Flint's determination not\nto live upon \"his wife's money\" became frequent. Then Flint accepts an\nimportant commission to relocate a\nrich vein of ore which has \"run out\"\non a big Western mining property.\nRoughing it and playing for big\ngame, Flint is delighted with the\nWest. Marlon finds the life unbearable.\nThe Upplngtons and Caldwell go\nWest and visit the Flints. Marion is\ndelighted\u00E2\u0080\u0094it means a break in her\nmonotonous life. Caldwell sympathizes with Marion and induces her to\nleave Flint and return East.\nAt the mine Flint uncovers the lost\nvein of ore and he Is a wealthy man.\nHe rushes home to nnd his wife-\ngone. His rage against Caldwell ls\nboundless. He vows to destroy him.\nHe finds no blame for Marion. Flint's\nplan of revenge Is to break Caldwell\nfinancially. By flooding the market\nwith stocks he forcos it down until\nCaldwell is ruined.\nBut Flint's efforts to break Caldwell\nhave other effects not realized, which\nin the end result ln a happy re-unlon.\nhim day and night.

Its thrills and mystery\nwould have blazed from the front page\nof every newspaper in the country.\nIt would have baffled the world's\nkeenest brains. Psychologists, neurologists, psychiatrists and psychoanalysts would have tried to explain\nwith their pet theories. Ameatuer\nouija board operators and professional\nmediums would have claimed it as\nevidence of life after death and spirit\ncommunication. The police would\nhave admitted the mystery unfathomable.\n\"The Devil to Pay\" keeps the spectators in a trance of wonderment until very near the end\u00E2\u0080\u0094Just before the\nmost amazing denouement ever put on\nthe screen.\nWOMAN AND HER CLOTHES\nIn \"The Devil to Pay,\" Robert\nBrunton's sensational mystery drama,\nFrltzl Brunette, the piquant little\nbeauty who plays the feminine role,\nappears in an array ot fashionable\nattire that will both amaze and delight feminine votaries of fashion.\nShe wears seven complete changes\nof costume, each cleverly and harmoniously conceived.

It has been embellished highly in the screen version by the Inclusion of a number ot incidents that appear in neither the novel or the play,\nwith the result that the production\nhas a far greater comedy value than\neither of its forerunners. These additions are of such a character that\nonly one living comedian can put\nacross\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"Fatty\" Arbuckle.\nIt is the story of Monte Brewster\nwho is left fatherless at the tender\nage of two years. \"Fatty\" permits no\nsubstitute to do the hard work ln his\nplays, and this Ib no exception. He\nappears In person as the Infant.\nHis two grandfathers quarrel as to\nhow the boy, a promising and lusty\nyoungster, should be brought up, bo\nthat, when he is five years of age, bis\nmother's patience ls exhausted, and\nshe tells the grandfathers that she\nwlll bring up her child ln ber own\nway, just as she pleases, without Interference from either of them. Monte\nhimself, too young to realize the import of his mother's decision, plays\nartlessly with the usual toys ot the\nordinary five-year-old child, and little reckons what the tuture has in\nstore for him. The grandfathers give\nit up as a bad Job and wash their hands\nof responsibility for his up-bringing\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nall of whcih Ib a good thing for the\nyoungster.\nWhen he ls twenty-five Monte (still\nFatty\" himself) who is now an\norphan, struggles along on a slim\nsalary as a clerk in a steamship\noffice.\nAfter a series of incidents in which\nhis poverty is accentuated, and his efforts to make both ends meet take on\nan extremely humorous aspect to the\naudience, it comes about that Grandfather Brewster offers to make a gentleman ot his grandson, and presents\nhim with a million dollars.\nThe other grandfather makes a\ncounter proposition to Monte, to take\nhim into his business as an active\npartner, and give him five million\ndollars, if at the end of the.year he is\nabsolutely broke. How he carries out\nthis compact, spends tbe million and\nexperiences the strangest tricks of\nFate, rounds out the story in an hour\nand a half of riotous laughter.\n\"Brewster's Millions\" will be shown\nat the Ilo-llo Theatre on Saturday of\nnext week.\nWHY NOT ALL SHOWS?\nA Drama of a Society Leader\nWho Led a Double Life, Pitting God Against the Devil\nMystery and adventure plays are\ncoming into vogue. That Is the opinion of Robert Brunton, producer of\nthe year's photodramatlc sensation\n\"The Devil to Pay,\" released by Pathe\nand coming to the Ilo-llo Theatre on\nTuesday night of next week.\n\"For the past two years,\" says the\nproducer, \"as a logical aftermath of\nthe war, picture-goers have reveled\nln the novelty of strange philosophy,\nouija boards, mediums and weird\ncultism. Now reaction has set in.\nThe public is reverting to simpler\nthemes, and the most popular of these\nIs the old-time mystery drama.\"\n\"The Devil to Pay,\" adapted from\nFrances Nimmo Greene's novel, is a\nstriking embodiment of Mr. Brunton's\ntheory.
