The picture tells a melodramtie story in so convincing a manner as jo keep the, most blase theater-goer catching his breath and wondering what will happen next. Like the two prvious pictures of which it is a sequel—Rich Men’s Wives and Poor Men’s Wives, this picture ’has been staged with a cart, that represents much thought an i a true appreciation of the require ments of the parts. Gaston Glass has a tremendous heroic role and Ruth Clifford, who gowns herself so lavishly, does her self proud in the trying part of “Sally Kandy” ; —the daughter of th rich man about whom the story re volves.

Contrary to its literal meaning, “Gold Diggers” are not people en gaged in searching the depths of the earth for the precious metal, but as shown in this picture, they are beautiful young women, whose profession is dancing and acting, but who spend their spare time “digging” for gold in the for mos entertainment, jewels, clothing and I money; and these incidentials they get from business men who seek di version from the worry and stress of business. Thus a troupe of gold diggers, led 'by one Jerry Lamar, the wildest and gayet of the party live merrily in a large apartment I while their expenses are being paid for by the number of wealthy men. How true love enters into their lives and complicates the entire af fair and how Jerry plots and plans to bring things to a successful ter mination is brought out in this film in a highly interesting and thoroughly amusing way.

Long A wai ted‘Merry GoR ound’ At Rylander Theatre Monday A Mad Whirl of Life, Love and Luxury Unanimously Prais ed By Unties The fascinating title of the big picture of the year which plays at the Rylander on Monday and Tues day, has a double signficance. the story is woven around the sorrows and joys of a girl merry go-round tender of the Prater, the amusement park district of Vienna The role is played by Mary Phil oin. Life itself has been likened to a merry go round on which the riders whirl in swift rotation, flashing through the phases of ex perience. It is this thought! that is woven into the romantic story of the little waif of Vienna, and the canvas of the play is painted in ail the varied colors of existence, the brightness of laughter and drabness of tragedy. The largest part of the action however, is against a carnival oacKground. Perhaps no place has the carnival spirit so exquisite in all its color and sparkle than in the 1 rater, the amusement park district of antdbellum Vienna. Tamed to the far corners of the earth for the utter abandon and gaiety of its atmosphee, the Prat -ler has always been regarded as the exemplification of the true car nival spirit. But with the shadows of war and I the mailed fist of tragedy which I dripped red over Europe a change : came over the merry-making place |of the old-world capital. True, tne I bands still played, but the dance ! of the revellers’ feet heavvy. Per haps the merry tunes dimmed the . sparkle in many a girl’s eye and brought a rush of memories of a soldier at the front. Yes, the Prater struggled brave ly*, but the old spirit, the spirit of carnival was gone. Travelers who had Known the place in pre-war days returning, found a note of sadness, an indefinable loss. But here in America the carnival spirit which made far-off Vienna famous was revieved in “Merry- Go-Round.”’ There are wide streets, scatter ed with leaves from the linden trees, the grotesque little clanging tram cars, and all the mad, merry colored tnrongs bent on pleasuue. There one sees the bright flash of uniforms, the golcA of officers’ The Picture Sensation of the T ear!

Only, one has thes trength of character to plan and carry through the reform of her speculator husband. Another succumbs and is carried down to poverty: the third is ignorant of what her husband has done till too late. Beatrice Joy, Owen Moore and Robert Edeson are featured. Beatrice Joy is cast as the wife of a stock broker’s clerk, played by Owen Moore. When he risks their modest fortune on the market she prepares for the crash which she feels will ultimately come. From lovin domestic helpmeet her character changes to 'that of a hard woman, secretive and cold, hoard ing all her husband’s wealth she can manage to lay her hands n, against possible financial ruin.
