out of the car when he approached
the barricade he saw a man crouch

though to draw a pistol, Mr. Moss
cautioned his wife and son to drive
on if anything happened and then
removed the barricade.
As Moss stepped back into the
car the man in the bush fired at the
moving car, the shot hitting the au

experience except for the nervous
shock. Mr. Moss said he had several
hundred dollars on his person and
did not have a gun. He caid that he

knew that he had the money and
was trying to get it,

IS FINE ENTERTAINMENT
What is a faithful adaptation of
a Broadway play, comes to the Cir
cle Theatre Wednesday in “Dancing
Mothers,”” adapted by Forrest Halsey
from the Selwyn-Goulding stage suc
cess,
Herbert Brenon directed, and he
Istd a fine group of players with
which to work., Conway Tearle is
‘sm-n as Jerry Naughton, the man
who started all the trouble. Ali(r(-‘
Joyee is the woman who decided to
bhecome one of the “Dancing Muth—‘
ers” and Clara Bow is seen to
advantage, in her first part in a
Paramount picture, as the trouble
some young daughter. And it is not
fair to omit mentioning the splendid
work done by Norman Trevor as the
father, and Donald Keith as the
iduug}ltor's fiancee. Not to forget
'notable characierization by Dorothy
}('ummin;; and Elsie Lawson.
It’s not fair to tell much of the
story, as it would spoil your en
joyment of the film on seeing it.
Suffice it to say that we are shown
a family who are part of the New
York fast set. THat is, they all are
cxeert the mother, who stays at
home,
In this role, Alice Joyce makes one
forget anything else she may have
done in the past, Waiting at home
for a mad-caup daughter, and a wan
dering husband, she decides to play
a part herself in the whirlpool that
threatens to engulf them all. Then
comes a twist, which, while perfect
