COLLEEN MOORE IN FINEST ROLE "The greatest role of my career!" This is Colleen Moore's description of the role which she portrays in "Flaming Youth," a First National pictureization of Warner Fabian's sensational novel of contemporary life, which is now showing at the California theater. In "Flaming Youth" Miss Moore portrays a modern "snap-perish" hoyden, a young girl rear-ced in an atmosphere where reckless pleasure seems to be the only consideration. In the role of Patricia Fentriss, a charming, naive and unsophisticated young society girl, Miss Moore has a part to which she is especially adapted. She handles the part most effectively. Her interpretations of the different phases of this girl's life are exceedingly well drawn—the comedy touches are not overdone, and in the tense parts of the play she demonstrates an unusual ability in the handling of dramatic parts and proves beyond doubt that this talented actress, heretofore famous for her comedy roles, is as much at home in parts calling for strong emotional acting. The character of Patricia Fentriss is one of the outstanding characterizations of contemporary fiction. Warner Fabian, the author of the sensational novel, from which the picture is adapted, declared recently that the character is his interpretation of the young girl of today—the girl who is forever seeking pleasure; meddling with fire; romantic, yet blind to the truer and finer meanings of love. Milton Sills, one of the screen's foremost leading men, plays opposite Miss Moore in this startling picture. Other film celebrities in the cast are Elliott Dexter, Myrtle Stedman, Sylvia Breamer, Betty Francheco, Phillips Smalley, Walter McGraw, Ben Lyon and others. CAN ANYONE GIVE THIS MAN WORK?

Today most of those models are gone and forgotten, while Bros.' M. A. C. has a bigger sale than ever. It is the old story of honest merit achieving success in spite of every obstacle.

C. is remarkably effective in all forms of stomach distress, such as indigestion, dyspepsia, heartburn, sour stomach, nausea and excessive gas. Absolutely harmless—pleasant to take.

The star is Priscilla Dean, who is supporting cast a "blue group." Race Beery of "The Flame" and Robin Hood" fame, seen in the principal characterization, white and Griffith handles a second masculine characterization. Moore plays the straight opposite Miss Dean. Moore is remembered for his superscript characterization in "The White Tiger." Underworld, only the "underworld" in this case is chiefly the top strata of international crookdom. The same man wrote and directed both pictures, Tod Browning. "White Tiger" is laid in the Limehouse and other picturesque sections of London, the ultra-climate social atmosphere of New York city and a lonely cabin up-state. An important feature of the story is the characterization by Miss Dean, Griffith and Beery of a trio of high-class crooks who display what fiction writers have been prone to call "honor among thieves." They have about an ample honor, reaspect for each other or comradely spirit as a cat, a dog and a snake would have if they had never seen each other before and were cooped up together. A fact about crooks not commonly known is that they cannot believe in each other, or even in honest people, under most circumstances. Let a crook be watched by an honest man, shadowed for no apparent reason, and he'll probably say to himself: "That guy's another crook, watching me to spring my deal so he can step in and grab a share." The crooked mind expects crookedness in others. UNREQUITED LOVE CAUSE OF SUICIDE BOSTON, Jan. 29.—Miss Margaret Elfot Harding, daughter of Wm. P. G.
